Have you ever tried lying down? I know sitting is the recommended posture, but when I plan to meditate for hours straight, I simply lie on my back. Works great for me and my back issues.

@Elisabeth Interesting read. Thanks for this. I guess I might have been one of those guy's that was constantly craving that perfect romantic relationship while at orange. For years I've completely externalised all my happiness into that ideal. Unsuccesfully of course. But it's always been love I was after. Even if my ideas of it were completely skewed. I guess that's why I feel so at home at green right now. Like you said, its so empowering to find out about this true intimacy, and how it's always been there on the inside. And now I just want to share it. Instead of needing it from someone else.

4:50 What a statement. Get out of your heads and know the Truth of your being. That's all the proof you'll ever need. <3

If everything is one, why use a word that implies duality in the first place? "Everything is one, so lets talk about that which isn't." It makes no sense.

Its beautiful, isn't it? And it's all You.

Thanks for sharing. That was great.

The mind is a movement of wanting. Bliss is found where wanting is not. Try to become aware of the fact that you are resisting bliss constantly through the mind’s desires. Feel what happens when you state: “I want absolutely nothing.” Really feel it out. Suddenly a peace arises. That peace can turn into bliss when all resistance to it collapses. As it turns out, when you stop wanting anything, you are open to absolutely everything. That is the paradox. And that is the space from which a human being can truly be authentic. Now every move you make comes from a place of fulfillment. Or bliss. And being blissful isn’t even a big deal. It’s not like this insane constant feeling of ecstasy, (though it can be) It simply means you don’t mind whatever experience you’re having. You can’t be more satisfied than absolutely satisfied. There’s no measurement for happiness anymore. I’m definetely not blissful all the time, but I can see what’s in the way of it very clearly, and that has now become my meditation. And what do I want from this meditation? Nothing at all.

Agreed. Ever since he went on that retreat, the videos greatly improved in quality. I'm still not over that Infinite Intelligence video. I had a genuine awakening while watching that. It really resonated with me.

I could keep going, but you get it.

Good video. Reminds me of that In Shadow animation that was posted on here recently. Sometimes its good to remind yourself of the fearful ways the ego manifests itself in society and in you. I love how it ends with asking you to subscribe to their Facebook and Instagram channel though.

It doesn’t have to be. Contemplate the substance of sound, of harmony, of melody. Of laws, order. The structure within a song. What is that? Its the same kind of intelligent design you see all around you, condensed into a 4 minute piece. What is Rhythm? And why does it speak to particular parts of the body. Why does the body feel the need to move/dance. What is dancing, really? What is dancing in a non-dual way? Without a trace of ego. Try it out. Why do certain sounds lift you up, and then others calm you down. What the fuck is sound anyway? What’s the difference between sound and sight? Is there a difference at all? Or is it all one? There’s so much music can teach you. Each song is like this mini-universe with its own laws. Quite phenomenal. Im a musician though, so it might be more interesting to me since I end up using the things I learn in my own work. But really, the right kind of music can guide you straight to the deepest corners of your being. Dont underestimate it. Its the essence of art in general. And tripping takes that essence straight to the foreground for you to explore. To really understand what creation/art is all about, and where that intelligence is coming from, so you can start to utilise it yourself. That’s what most of my trips look like in a nutshell. And I highly recommend it.

I only did shrooms, but listening to Tycho albums is godlike. Feels like they were specifically designed to awaken you. Its hard to describe. Other than that, anything Pink Floyd really. If you’re into that. There’s so much to choose from. Dark Side of the Moon in particular is a good one for tripping. Really takes you for a ride.

Me in front of the mirror Genuine smiling is great. Cant really force it though. Meditation usually makes me smile. Or even laugh out loud without a reason.

From a place of no desire, no wanting, no need for anything or anyone to change... an absolute fulfillment can be felt almost instantly and starts to manifest itself all around. Can you feel it? That is all the wisdom you'll ever need. All of it is contained within this joy of being absolutely desireless. Right here. Now. Thanks for reminding us @Sparkist <3

That's why you need to become selfless. Simply report the truth and move on. Do you honestly think Eckhart Tolle would lose a single minute of sleep if the entire world disagreed with him? Of course not. There's no one there to care. Truth is not a system. Its being. And being is fine the way it is, without your effort. Or mine. Realising that is the only way to manifest change on a relative level. Selflessly.

And paradoxically, all improvement comes forth from the knowing that there's nothing to improve. That's the joke. Spiritual teachers aren't teaching you anything. They're not pointing you to things that need improvement. They're just showing you what's true. There's no effort in that. No need to persuade. Simply a one to one translation of reality as they experience it. And it turns out, that which is True, is always evolving. So in the simple act of sharing Truth, things start 'improving' automatically. Or evolving. That's how something that is already perfect can continuously 'improve' itself. But it's never better or worse.

@Surfingthewave Awesome! Enjoy

That strength is no longer only found within oneself. Its more of a universal strength. Like nature. Which you are increasingly conscious of being a part of. At this point you no longer care about being masculine or not. For someone at stage blue that may seem weak. But thats because being masculinity (or a false sense of it) is very important in that particular stage. But not caring at all about being masculine is probably the most masculine thing you can do. But that will only get clear when you enter stage green. So in a sense, stage green might be the first stage where actual masculinity finally starts to shine. Embraced in the feminine. So yeah. Stage green is only a weird/weak stage when looked at from stages blue and orange. But the thing is, people in stage green have long moved on from that simplistic way of looking at things. That's why the endless debating you see nowadays is going nowhere. Its really difficult for the two stages to really understand eachother. They're competing in completely different games.

I didn't know there were rules. Im just sharing my own experiences.

@Mikael89 Is it seperate from it?

@Pernani More like contemplating without using words all that much. Ask questions, and let meditation guide you to the answers. Which can be either conceptual or experiental. For example, asking the question: Who am I? And experiencing the answer in the silence of meditation.

Your idea that meditation has to be comfortable is keeping you from experiencing what is. What if this resistance is the one thing you're overlooking? This resistance is you, resisting. Why? Follow it and let it guide you through this seperation within you. What are you resisting? Really feel it out. When there's resistance in meditation it doesnt mean the meditation failed. A meditation is the oppurtunity to meet this resistance head on. There's something that you are not allowing right now in this moment. What is that? Try to really, really get to the bottom of it. Hope that helps. If it doesnt work. Just keep meditating. When the mind is empty, resistance is faced without you even noticing.

Can you try to simply enjoy the pressence of a beautiful girl without needing anything from her? Just appreciate the beingness of that divine appearance as you describe it and then move on. Falling in love without needing anything in return. Let that be your meditation, and notice how quickly the entire vibe of life changes. Suddenly, you are a fulfilled human being. And now others can fall in love with that too.

That video straight up awakened something in me. It perfectly put to words what Ive been discovering lately. I agree, its one of his best, and I hope people will understand and see the message. Its such a beautiful thing to witness / tap into. At the end of the video, Leo perfectly describes how an artist sees the world. It was spot on. The artist's biggest frustration is the fact that he has to translate that which he sees. Why are some artists depressed all the time? Its because while they are able to tap into infinite intelligence, they are unable to manifest it into a piece of art... yet. Why, for some people, their work/art is never good enough? For that very reason. They've seen the unlimited possibility, and now it becomes their life's work / life purpose to manifest infinite intelligence into this world. As a God would. And we're all creators. We all share that same life purpose. To manifest a part of the unspeakable into something tangible, so that it can be enjoyed. Praised even.
