I feel it as a solid pain on the inside, as in the whole front of my brain is being ministabbed, but going to try that anyway.

I am currently provoking it too, its a weird feeling. Its definitely pain, but I keep on looking there, because i dont want to feel like it's bitch I cant provoke it just by concentrating on the area. It feels like a wound from a knife in my third eye, which is weird cause i have this distant memory that my third eye was destroyed to protect me from other realms or something. But yeah the memory is probably bullshit

Yes they are all feelings, but how come is it groundless for some to be better than others? Ofcourse some are better, nobody wants to feel hungry, even if it is just a sensation. It's pain, any pain is worse than any pleasure. Just because one does not create story around pain to lead to more suffering doesn't mean that he wouldn't change that pain in an instant if given the opportunity.

This is to help you with the monkey mind problem. When you catch yourself thinking, focus on breath and then if you like into the inner body sensations. Also you can google for Mooji guided meditations and do a bit of those too - they are masterful. I bet you wont regret. Have fun with meditation, its not really a chore, or shouldn't be. Meditation as a habit is fine, at least for me. Nowadays I find myself thoroughly enjoying my sessions, it feels like a quality experience of being alive without need for anything external - wheras if I play a pc game for example, while it is fun, I dont feel like im as alive during the act.

No one who?

If a thought is making you unhappy, and you cant help others, its better to not think it. But what Byron Katie supposedly is doing is turning a negative thought into a positive one and spreading that thought (which is designed to make her happy), which in my opinion is wrong, because it might affect people who actually can help world hunger.

Law of cause and effect should definitely be considered highly! It is the way this dream works

You look like you got no right to be on planet earth and post on human forums <3 Show me your visa ?

I am one of Tolles teaching's biggest fan. Read the power of now 4 times in two different languages. Still reading bits from time to time, it's such a therapeutic book.

Existence is fuckin cray cray -Buddha

Makes perfect sense ! Subject and Object become One

Nothingness - the only thing that is truly real, is everywhere, can never be destroyed and is who we are. Your experience is another great proof of this simple logical concept, which is the 0th dimension itself. Can I ask who experienced the enlightenment experience (infinity)? Was it still the nothingness that is cursed to never be able to look at itself due to its very nature? (I mean I know the answer to that, it couldn't be any other way, I'm just being annoying I guess)

Athene trying to push his logic theories I liked it though, great visualisations! Also the knowledge seems pretty good, even though I can't verify it a fact and don't really need it to be happy. Don't get the warnings tho! Maybe just to hype it up

I second that. @LetTheNewDayBegin When the guilt is gone, maybe you will naturally change your habits too. Who can say? It's all fate.

Me, but before that, at 3am in the morning I put my key in the door and bodies layin' all over the floor and I don't remember how they got there, but I guess I must've killed em..!

My mistake calling it enlightenment. I was wrong. I was talking about a state of continuous peace no matter what is happening in life, not enlightenment. Had the two mixed up indeed. Not being sarcastic. Of course here on this forum we refer to Enlightenment as something else, the experience of the undefinable and what follows (a profound shift in awareness) etc.. Your Ego may or may not allow anything I say be of use, but that does not mean I should not write it. It's my duty to act out the divine will no matter what. You should not judge and condemn and I am not saying this as a judgement, but because you are in a forum about fixing problems exactly like this one - no point playing around. Also there is no point denying truth only because of the vehicle it is sent by. By now just by seeing my name on the post, you know you will be against it, no matter what is said. You should see the problem there. You're acting out with a deep belief that there is a doer. Start cutting. Be aware of it. When you cut Judgement/Blame, Pride and Guilt, your Enlightenment journey will surely be easier (call it intuition). The root of Judgement/Blame, Pride and Guilt is the belief that there is a doer. Don't let your Ego boss you round. It's time for you to start self-enquiry.

Real question is why do you want me to stop so badly... Also man, embrace contradictions, don't get so wrapped up in every word to look for something to bite at, but instead try to see what is being said. Also really work on that judgemental part of you - have a look around, there are threads about judging on this very forum that can help you out. We're in this together.

@Wormon Blatburm OK I will conclude by Enlightenment you mean something different than me. To me it is simply realizing what you truly seek is peace of mind and starting your journey with the right goal. All I need for this practise is to rest in being, in the place before thought, doubt and belief. For some that is not enough, and I will never understand why. I do not need to imagine God or attach to God @Martin123, I've never been one to believe or have blind faith. Neither Left nor Right is truly correct - the Middle is where we need to aim, from wherever we are. Some need to go to the right, others need to go to the left, depending on where they are. But some need to stay where they are - those who have found the power of being. Any experience is experience of infinity, we are just not appreciating it as such, because lost in thoughts. No one's to blame. I am not enlightened, I am just sharing my understanding and experience, not expecting you to kiss my feet for being right and call me the enlightened one. This is why I am against this thread - basically telling people that they should give up on going after peace of mind... Madness. If by Enlightenment you mean some figment of your imagination where you meet with God and he tells you how awesome you are or something, then sure, give up on that, because it's only mind.

So anyway, I wasn't even answering to you, you should look into that judgemental mind you've got going on. It's really immature behaviour, sorry I have to say... We are here to have a grown up conversation. If you have something constructive to say, please do. Otherwise, maybe send me private messages for savage attacks

Who was preaching? PS: Maybe what you thought as preaching after I had apologized to you, was not preaching and it was your projeection

You may argue and feel bad about other opinions, but it is how it is. I like that I am pushing your buttons and it's funny that you think you know who I am or what is being said here. I will never reach your Enlightenment, simply because you've put it on a pedestal that no-one can reach. Look at this belief. You are the one claiming to know what Enlightenment is due to what you've heard. I have no problem being an unenlightened Ego. The pointing fingers game is fun :))) PS: You claim you haven't reached Enlightenment yet you know that I'm the one who's wrong? Even if I am, you cannot claim it so passionately my "duuuude"

Whether you are right or wrong is based on One: What you mean by enlightenment Two: Whether it can be attained by choice and effort or by surrender and letting go. Maybe the very turning away from it of fear of failure and "gambling" is exactly karma in action making you think you need to suffer some more before attaining what you already are.

Judging is negative (destructive), caring is positive (constructive) - simplest explanation Therefore non judging a situation or person or ourselves is good, but not caring is bad - if we suppose there is good way to be and bad way to be, which is the pillar of self improvement. But ofcourse we should not judge outselves if we don't care and we shouldn't judge if someone else judges or doesn't care

Is it only me that thinks Conciousness sounds like the name of some really fine lady? Might name my kid that way if I have one

But the true self is nothing but peace...
