  1. This is it! I think it's vital to say how important this video is to the search for the true self. Thank you for bringing it up
  2. Naps are also very healthy for the heart I've heard. Also 6666 likes, Leo is now officially a Zen Devil confirmed
  3. This I found just now and I think it is really good for anyone to watch. I can't even express how helpful I am finding this video!!! I've watched it before, but it's like I am seeing it from a different angle now after all the understanding I've gotten so far of the truth.
  4. The thing is, you are identifying with the wrong things. By observing thought and emotions, you should realise and contemplate to whom they appear. That way you are free from identifying with them or the body and they can't cause you harm, just like you as a body cant punch the air.
  5. Yes, i feel exactly the same way about this. Chakras - the spiritual way to enhance the illusion.
  6. But those things are already there, you're not consciously choosing to make the illusion stronger, it's about seeing that if you observe those things you're not them and they happen by themselves and you can let go. That's what is happening and you're observing. Do you want to be significant? There's no way, because you don't exist. It's the mind that wants to add to you by opening third eye, crown chakra, etc - but nothing can be added to the truth, it is already whole in this moment. I almost never heard a high quality spiritual guru talk about esoteric-ism. I don't see anything more Ego than this. But this is only my mind speaking so fuck it, go clear your blockages.
  7. But even then, who really dies, the bodies, not the actual self that they were. So they didn't actually die, but their bodies died. Maybe it's true - but should be irrelevant - one should not be afraid of body death, because one is not the body.
  8. Well maybe he means it in the sense that there was no more person, therefore dead. The bodymind operating completely on it's own, like a well oiled machine.
  9. Aren't chakras anti-spiritual tho, since you are not the body, why enforce the illusion even further? Maybe blockage is a good thing for detachment time.
  10. Life - A place where the ordinary is extraordinary. Dream - A place where the extraordinary is ordinary.
  11. The presence is here, even when i stop labeling everything including the body and the mind, there is a presence and i get the thought - "I am" and trump the thought with the actual silent experience of I am. Then i would feel energy in where the body is and i know i am not that, because i perceive it. But there is no object observing, so I must be a non entity, therefore there is no I and the bodymind I refer to as mine is working by itself, because I still am beyond it, looking and verify this. To say i am doing anything i would have to first find the i, but cant find it, although it is always. So I get thoughts like that and trump them with the realisation beyond them, by feeling my unknown presence. Am I doing it right? Well most likely, since i can still feel that I am even though i dont know what, now. To teach the bodymind that it has no I of its own is almost impossible, because it is addicted. Just like smoking, the easiest thing, not to do something, becomes almost impossible, because the body mind is such a sponge. Now we need to re-design the bodymind's habbits from negative to positive, in order to change the dream from nightmare to amazing dream.
  12. Isn't it the case that it could both be true and not true. If the whole of objective reality is subjective reality to a being AKA God almighty (The infinite infinity Leo talked about) , it is real, no? You assume that since you are not the subject for it, it is not an object to some-infinite-thing-subject. Maybe I don't knw what im talking about, but does anyone?
  13. Sam Harris was the one that got me interested in spirituality and meditation to be honest. Because I was very into the illusion of free will and really like his down to earth point of view. First meditation I did was a guided meditation by him.
  14. Hi gang, so most of us would probably agree with the wise words of Buddha and almost every other sage that desire and attachment are the main enemies of peace and happiness. But since it dawned on me that I always am, (whatever that I actually is is beyond the point) hence one should definitely desire to be, since he will never be disappointed! A safe desire to have, because it is always fulfilled, right? We can also put in the category of safe desires the desire for the present moment, since it always is as well. Actually not desiring those things would bring the suffering in this case. The I am and the Present moment, could they be the same thing?(thats a bit offtopic) So hey, what do you think about this? Why would desiring these things that you will always get bring you suffering? Or attachment to those things - since they can never be taken from You, why is it bad to be attached to them? Happy Holidays
  15. The clarity of this guided meditation was a-m-a-z-i-n-g. The words Mooji uses are absolute perfection. I got far more than I expected from this, wow. Going to be returning to it daily I think.
  16. Very nice video to rewatch, thank you for bringing it up to the present again ?
  17. What if you desire something so much that it causes you suffering. Meat is a small desire!
  18. The journey of life is a hardcore one. Preach it brother! Level 2017: Go.
  19. How happy do you have to be if you realise you are not fearing your biggest fear right now? Instant state of bliss - less than one hit of marijuanna - because it allows me to see my real fears and realise if I am not experiencing them (in the present) I should be in a state of permanent elation. What more could one ask for. I can feel myself flowing. I love meditation. LOVE. To feel good in the body is LOVE.
  20. Hey guys, I decided to write on YouTube the frowned upon phrase : "best way to attain enlightenment" - First video showed up was Leo's, but I've seen it before and I wanted to watch something new, so I opened the second link: Have you guys seen this? I find it pretty interesting, even though the claim might seem a bit silly. I don't really know if he is speaking bullshit, and I actually like what he's saying. I guess the question remains - who am I? See you in 48 minutes, guys.
  21. Maybe 10-20 years is over-exaggerated. It all depends on the interest/commitment, resources available, open-mindedness and bullshit-detector (oh and practise). I do see a lot of close minded people though, to whom maybe 20 years won't be enough to prepare their mind.
