I agree - its a real delusion. It's a real belief system you have. We both need to sort out things. The reason I'm saying it is because I have tested it: It doesn't matter what I intend to attract in my life, everything happens as it happens. Call it luck, call it destiny, call it God's will. I don't care how you call it, the only thing it is not, it is not the law of attraction. Just face it, you have no magical powers as a human being. If you are in the cult that believes in the law of attraction, you probably are afraid of your own thoughts. "Oh no! I had a negative thought!! I need to go cleanse myself. OOh so that's why i lost my wallet!! I knew it works!!" good luck with your neurotic existence, unfortunately I do not want to be a member!

Saying there cannot be any limits is a limit GOT YA!

how do you know if it is possible if you have no accomplished it?

Ok so clearly if you believe anything is possible, it should be possible for you. Show me, spawn me 1 million bucks, shouldn't be that hard for you, it's only 0% chance to happen.

Please don't drag me into your rabbit hole of overthinking. The present moment is rather simple and in it there is no chance of an elephant appearing out of thin air, because there are rules to this reality. In a dream at night - perhaps it can work, but not here. And no, it doesn't not appear because I don't believe, because the very reason for not believing it is due to it never happening. If it did happen every day that an elephant appears (or even once), my belief in the matter would be different - but not before it happens, rather AFTER it happens - so the belief is not what would create the event, I hope you get that. The belief is BASED on the experience, the experience is not based on the belief. You've got it all flipped. You need to re-evaluate. Perhaps drop all the mind BS and go into meditation.

I caught on to this bullshit long ago, Im glad someone else sees it how it is. There are many who are afraid to say it doesn't work, because they think "If I believe just 1 more day, maybe it will work!! But if I say it doesnt work then im screeeeeeewed!!" Leave it to those who want to believe to believe. If it really worked, it would work without all the limitations it has. Something happens by chance and people attribute it to the LOA if they have read about it, while in fact it was just something lucky happening to them. When something unlucky happens, they say ooooh, its probably because I dont believe enough!! Well DUH! ofcourse you dont believe enough, you just doubted if you believe enough!! It's a self fulfilling prophecy. This "law" (not really a law, because it is not something constant) only exists, because of the fear in people's minds to let go of their belief, because its scary. My advice to those people is - try it! You will see you get exactly the same results by not believing this LIE as you would if you did beLIEve it. Check it, it works!!! Actually your results might even be better, because you will know that YOU have to do something about your situation, not just wait for the universe to give you something, which never comes unless you grab it.

stop splatting about lies

@phllip103 in other words, be more interested in the space in which your experience happens, rather than giving the experience so much significance

Next time you sit, become aware of the space behind the totality of the experience, while not forgetting to breathe in a couple of deep breaths. This is not, at least for me, about putting into words whether there is or there is no you. Thoughts - they are mere entertainment. Go to the real space that holds them, that same space which holds your breath and holds the sensations in your body. This should help you in your meditations, because it helps me.

Sounds like you are getting a panic attack from staying with yourself. You are afraid of the emptiness. What you need to do is follow the breath, fill the void with your attention and meet yourself there. Meditation should be enjoyable and helpful at the same time. It's like learning - you can learn while shaking and crying about it, but its best to learn when you are happy and enjoy the process. Meditation might not be for you yet if you are getting panic attacks from sitting alone with no external stimuli. You probably need to work on self inquiry a bit and find the Self which is always there, it is something which you can place your attention on, instead of continuing to feed your panic attacks by thoughts.

Look how easily a child can get/understand the ultimate truth of the now, because it does not yet have a rigid belief system in place. I hope she grasps the magnitude of this discovery and find the True Self.

Mine was hurting two days ago and I feel more disconnected now

My entire life has been a letting go of money, that's why i am currently in financial ruin and need to run after money even more. I HAd a gambling addiction, and lett me tell you I have let go more money than most humans (percentage wise). I beat this addiction, and meditation is a tool I do use, but when I open my eyes from the trance state, I see my debt, and I can feel the pressure more and more, which leads me to search for money more and sometimes evwn makes me look for quick fixes, because I don't want to be a debt slave. I feel anger every time the universe conspires to make me broke and it only ever keeps me on the edge somehow between being broke and just enough to ppass by. Definitely meditation and not thinking about time makes things easier, but as soon as a hurricane of worry hits, it does have a point and I listen. I don't even have attachment to things. Giving up cigarette addiction, weed, everything. I just don't want to give up my home and comfort. I like staying warm for a reason.

So you don't mean to let myself die. Why type it then? Because you heard some non dual teacher write it? Please, you are just as lost in concept as me. Please allow someone else to answer me on my greed comment. I have met 100s of wannabe nondualists in this forum, I know the signs. I would like someone more experienced to answer me.

That's what I mean. You are using the phrase "Kill yourself" and when I mention what actually means to kill yourself, you are saying that's not what you mean. This is selective non-duality, I've mentioned this in another topic. When things sound sexy, its ok, if things sound nihilistic, all of a sudden it's not what is meant. What am I supposed to kill then? Kill awareness? Impossible. I think the false self is not awareness, it is the body.

Giving love to yourself is an unnecessary move. You already have the love that you are giving, so what is the point of giving it in the first place if it's already there to begin with? To give love to yourself there need to be 2 you's - One that is giving and one that is receiving.

but this dying is very abstract. I have taken rat poison in the past in a failed suicide attempt. Hard to die. But don't we die every night anyway in deep sleep? Come to think of it, I am more deep sleep than a person, but now I have a veil in front of me, a dream which says "I am a body and need to survive as a body"

How to let go of greed if i need money to survive? The one that can type in this forum at least, not the eternal I am behind all of us.

I had this thought recently to post about the easiest meditation ever, but my idea was different. Instead of "do nothing" or "focus on breath", this meditation is more like :"do whatever you want, move as much as you want, make yourself as comfy as possible, as long as you are sitting with eyes closed and awake. Even moving rhythmically if you want or doing sitting yoga/stretching to keep you going." I like your idea too!

@Bryan Lettner It's crazy. I like it.

I've been reading a book from David Icke and I've noticed a little contradiction in his words. In one of the chapter he talks about how "Cognitive dissonance can be a form of schizophrenia in which two contradictory views or facts are both believed to be true - war is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength. " In the next chapter, he talks about how "a prince or pauper, it matters not. The prince is the pauper and the pauper is the prince, for they are expressions of the same One Consciousness" Couldn't he say the same about war and peace? Both expressions of the one Consciousness? Seems to me like us as humans like to do the selective non-duality where it fits our agenda. Nevertheless, I am pretty interested in David Icke and the ideas he puts forward. Interesting to see why he is contradicting himself so clearly here. I've seen this phenomena happen all the time on this forum as well. People saying there is no "I" just to follow up with an experience they had about how there was no them... Is selective non-duality avoidable?

Well I would not want to begin a debate on those things, because it is against the forum rules and guidelines. I am asking about the non-duality issue here. David Icke seems more sane than those who do not believe the things he is saying based on my personal experience.

We have no evidence for a world made out of matter, because our experience is of the 5 senses(and beyond). We are decoding vibrational frequencies, as you mention, into the experience we have,which is of this 3 dimenaional world. It's the matrix. It takes a religious mind to believe in matter and most of us were indoctrinated at an early age.

You shouldn't. Enjoy the "normality" of your incarnation while you can. You'll be going to the higher dimensions soon enough anyways.

You cannot escape this forum once you begin. After your first post, you become slave Im sorry. Shouldve never taken the first hit!
