When you see that you're the canvas, the only possibility is to continue painting, consciously. Paint the Ego the way you, the transparent infinite Self want. Choose the colours of your Ego consciously. <3 Make the colours and thoughts that you dont want transparent by bearhugging ? them to death. Nothingness is transparency is God is the motherboard. Nothingness is this moment. Nothingness is untying the knot of the Ego. Transparency is Nothingness, nothing added, from the mind, so what is can be seen through a clean window, without fog. Close your eyes and try to imagine transparency iin your inner eye. But try doing it with open eyes too, ha, you see, you've always be doing it, just maybe not conscious of it. Ego pretends to be everything, enlightenment is transparent nothing, breath, water, lightness, 0. 0 allows me to be.

Nothingness is transparency; Nothingness is silence; Nothingness is stillness; Nothingness is no thing to do, other than what you're doing; Nothingness is nowhere to be, other than where you are. Nothingness is the screen of awareness; Nothingness is no Ego. Nothingness is enlightened and my Ego is the dance of that light. Transparent Ego is enlightened Ego. Any image at 0% transparency disappears, no matter what was on the canvas. When you make something transparent, you see what was hiding underneath the entire time. You, the empty canvas of awareness. Transparent consciousness, ever present, eternal and infinite.

-When you close your eyes what do you see? -What do you hear, what do you imagine or think about? -This is your reality when you close your eyes, and only you hold the brush for that canvas. - You can choose to paint transparent and see the canvas itself, which was the surface. -The surface was the one painting the entire time. And I am the surface, painting life, painting the Ego.

Inspired by Arunachala and Ramana Maharshi - Walking Meditation. Wherever you are, you don't need to walk around a mountain, you can have your own version of Arunachala and just walk slowly and mindfully, notice sights, sounds, sensations... Notice how amazing it can feel to just walk about the streets if you are in a city setting. Go around the block, make your own route and enjoy your walking meditation. I've tried it many times, and It's so good at clearing the mind and letting me just enjoy being while being active. Walking meditation special edition - if you want to have an even more interesting experience, smoke a really tiny dosage of weed just to give you that little extra amplification effect.

Thats not how it works.. Even if you interpret Ego in someone, you can't judge the inner experience of others, only in yourself, so don't be thinking about helping others before you are completely free. Welp I better take my own advice here... I am pretty bad at doing that tho (taking my own advices)

Who is laughing and thinks about stopping laughing? You're identifying with the Ego, just my observation. You don't need to analyze so much, you need to let go and look for yourself. Laughter is supposed to be spontaneous anyway, if you find something funny laugh, if you don't - don't laugh.

His teachings click with me so well

^This thread can be improved on, but I think Eyes deserve a spot

Nowadays I just go with: Who? I try to go as simple as possible, so the question is only three letters. As the context changes, the question Who..? remains. It could be Who? wants to eat that cake. Who? wants to smoke that cigarette. Who? is experiencing experiences. I even dont ask the conceptual questio but actually try to see who, because the mind is telling me that its me, but who is that me... I keep unconsciously identifying with body and mind in situations throughout life. I take an experience or desire and ask Who, thats all, i made this post too big lol.

This civilisation is not enlightened yet, hence my proposal, which means shit as well as the communist dream. We cant do any significant change to society, we can only change ourselves.

I think what humans need is some sort of new system where every 10 years or so the money gets redistributed so everyone has their fair share, no freakin 1% shit etc. That'd be nice.

When that shit goes down, come visit me I'll be meditating somewhere under a bridge

Loree, I kinda like the idea of spiderling aliens coming to save us. All hail. Also Ekhart Tolle is King? Pinch me. This has to happen!

Well i didnt get triggered, because my inner state is not in fight or flight, I just wanted to indulge my desire to argue,because of one thing you said, where you proclaim your ego more special, missing the point of the entire forum!! Not that I havent made that mistake, but I'm usually high when I do.

But what happens when you want to stay in only one dream forever. I agree that after death the only possibility is experience/life, so death is nonexistent to the self... But I wouldn't rly like to lose my current dream to become a dumb baby that has to learn everything from 0 again... Thats why I want to break the cycle and remember the one that was never born and will never die. I guess its not the Ego that is in control, so all I can do is accept and see what happens!

I hate hate ???

Troll posts from Martin as usual, bringing egoic me and you into conversations. Making me do the same becuz im weak minded egoic fool as well. Well my ego can beat your ego by saying, 1) Duh you dont need intuition, you only need to know about the exponential growth of advancements in technology and the eventual AI. 2) Everything is a dream, Earth is a belief. There's only now, your room or wherever you are facing. 3) cool shit is a broad as f term. Has cool shit nit happened? You do take it for granted and focus on negativity. Thats how you create your reality, so be very careful what you focus on. For your own sake. That list you made makes me smh. List the good things and smile. See the cool shit is already here, for example what are you writing on?

Let's contemplate contemplation together! Inspired by Leo's latest video. While I was contemplating what it is like to write, I came up with the following contemplative questions. You can give them a go, if you want, but this means you need to experience and contemplate what it is like to do those things. Notice that number 3 cannot be solved if your life is all sorted out. Unless you decide to solve a Maths question.?

As long as you love doing it, it's enlightenment <3

For me personally when I run out of topics, I go straight to enlightenment, because this is a topic that encompasses everything and I am just so fascinated by the light of certain people. The light in people who are near us.

What is it like to LOVE what you are doing right now?

Hello, guys, In the most recent video, Leo explained how one can escape from a paradigm by being aware of the lock that holds the paradigm in place and putting it to the test. What is the best paradigm? The paradigm of switching paradigms? The paradigm of no paradigms? So anyway, what holds us all to this life on planet Earth paradigm? Our bodies and minds? Do we need to put our bodies and minds to the test and escape this paradigm, or is that going too far? What is the heaven (best) paradigm? The paradigm of truth (what does that even mean though)? The paradigm of Buddhism? Or is it situational? The paradigm of the true self (being yourself, being), being yourself always, no matter what? I would guess the most important thing for a paradigm would be to be accepting of all other paradigms, add this to your paradigms guys <3 peace and love <3 infinite om! Namaste

It's funny you say that!

Holy shit, these words are like dipped in a sauce of truth and goodness. It gave me some new flashes of realisation

Loved reading and inspired me, however, how is it like death, if you were experiencing something, be it nothingness? I get that it might be like death of the human, but how can it be like death, if you identify with who you trully are, that was never born and will never die. Just my thoughts, maybe this is what is stopping you from reaching that level of truth without a substance.
