I changed the poll. You can vote for the time again, if you want, so that the newcomers can see the number of participants.

?

Sunday 18:00 GMT time Then this will do it.

Also, we should decide the polarity of our meditation. Do you want to focus on awareness or on letting go? Please all of you answer this question so that we can decide. My understanding is that the group meditation will be much more effective if we all have the same polarity.

So if nobody opposes, let's agree on 18:00 GMT. @Dodoster please update your topic starter post for the newcomers. Also, you can delete the doodle link because the interval is settled. Btw, do you use any enhancers?

Hi The ultimate goal of SDS is to cultivate love in yourself. So why not love your body on the way? While doing SDS the body moves anyway because of the breathing. So I use the 'hack' of taking a deep breath and correcting my posture while doing so. After a longer sitting you will experience pain. So here is the best teaching I know for handling pain (you can listen to it while doing SDS) :

If people would feel existence as you feel it, then you all would have the same understanding. My opinion is that there is no point in intellectual debates. If you want to broaden the understanding of others, you have to show them the emotional realm you are in. It's not egoic to sprinkle love into conversations. Thank you for your question.

I have nothing new to say. But if you have any questions, I'm happy to answer.

I gave options for 6 hour intervals so that we can divide further the most selected interval. https://doodle.com/poll/3s7cfs4bbqtihedg @Dodoster you can include this poll to your post so that others can find it more easily.

:)) Unbelievable. I've never read so beautiful sentences like these from an anonymous author. Thank you for your time and for being here!

Your explanation feels so perfect that it's ridiculous. :)) You are not an everyday human being. Did you start to teach yet?

Thank you! Thank you for all of you!

Wow. Silence. Your words made my mind silent. I think now I understand what they mean when they say that you have to play a role if you want to play the social game. Communication is not possible if you don't have a standpoint, an identity. At least it's not possible for me. You explained it so clearly, where did you learn it from?

@SOUL I am actually learning from you. I don't understand one thing though. What do you mean by self when you say this:

@zazed Thank you, I think you are right. I cannot even imagine raw reality without mind because imagination itself is mind. I feel awareness more clearly now, but I don't act or speak from awareness, I speak from mind. I speak from the love of my mind. And it's okay now. I love the mind. Or at least I'm learning to love it.

@SOUL This is beautiful. I didn't think of it this way. Thank you! I thought about ego as the identification with the body and you widened it to identification with anything. I think you are right. I think identification with presence is good enough for me now. One step at a time. No rush. Thank you for your clarification!

Thank you for being here, I love you all. Or at least I'm learning to.

I am reality. At least my reality. All the suffering I see in the world is part of me, part of my reality. So I'm offering my answers for a selfish reason. I want all of you to be happy, because you are part of me, and I want myself to be a happy reality. Does this make sense?

Thank you for endorsing my credibility. :))

I feel like sharing, so instead of giving you a raw summary as an answer, I will give you my brief consciousness journey. I was first introduced to meditation when I was 13 or 14. But it was energy meditation with Sanskrit symbols. My consciousness work began a few years later when I read the Stillness Speaks from Eckhart Tolle (I still can't spell his name without looking it up first ). Then I read the Power of Now and the New Earth from him. I've also read The Ancient Secret of The Flower of Life Vol 1 so I'm interested in sacred geometry. Then I became more interested in startups and the idea of having my own business, but I didn't do it, I started my master's instead. So there was a break from reading, but I watched youtube videos instead. This was the period when I got familiar with spiritual masters on youtube. Then in September my whole life purpose changed. There were two important factors in this change. The first was that I started the Trinfinity Academy, so I started doing consciousness work daily. I had not done meditative consciousness work before, except reading and watching videos, so the Trinfinity Academy was a huge help for me in this. It teaches contemplating 10-20 minute meditations and 2-5 second mini meditations. I try to do a mini meditation every half an hour, it keeps me in a "happy state" during the day. The second important factor was that I watched Leo's video about 5meo so I wanted to experience it more than anything. After I started to regularly trip on 5meo I became more sensitive to other consciousness altering tools like weed, binaural beats and sleep, these were very useful for processing the 5meo experiences. I also started to meditate spontaneously during the day, without planning, simply because it feels really good and relaxing. I am not doing any meditation technique. I simply sit with closed eyes, mostly motionless, and I just feel my body and the present moment. If thoughts arise I let them arise. I have also read Martin Ball's Being Infinite and Being Human books to help me understand this substance. While reading these books I started reading in parallel The Ra Material, I'm still reading it, almost finished it, I really like this book. And then I found Matt Kahn last week. One can understand a lot doing consciousness work, but to really feel its truth, love is needed. I didn't realize how much love is missing from my life until I started to listen to his videos. This man is amazing. I started reading his Beginning Your Love Revolution book and I'm planning to read his bigger book as well. And now let's get back to your other questions. I feel a lot calmer since yesterday. Thoughts are part of the present moment, just like anything else. Thank you for your questions, I really enjoyed answering it!

Update: the emotional high disappeared while I slept, but the intellectual understanding remained. Sorry, if it's not fun for you anymore. I have memory, I'm a normal human being. I don't "feel" the unity as strong as I felt yesterday. My intellect says that I am "the experiencing", the movie itself. Whatever appears, if I ask "where is it?" the answer is " it is in me". It's like lucid dreaming, when you suddenly realize that you are dreaming and everything is in your head. The difference is that now I don't conceptualize the "container of my dream". And I see that the only thing I've ever experienced is my own awareness, my own presence. Right now I identify with all of my experience. The experience of the body is one experience among many others. I think the identification with the body forms only because we feel like the body influences a lot of our experiences. For example, if the body feels pain that could become the center of our attention and therefore the center of our reality. I think this is where the identification with the body comes from. However, now I see that I am all of my experiences and the awareness of it. It's like a paradigm shift. I shifted from the belief that "I am the body" to the belief that "Why would I be the body? The body is inside the experiencing, inside me." If you feel like you are the mind then be the mind. Try it out. Be aaall your mind. Isn't everything in your mind? Isn't the present moment forming itself in your mind? Feel that all what you are aware of is in your mind. Feel it now! And realize that the belief of the brain is just a thought. The thought of the brain is an experience just like all the other experiences. The truth is that you don't know where all of this is happening, but now you could have the feeling that all of it is inside you whether you consider the "container" the brain or consciousness. I am everything and that everything includes my own limits. I don't feel enlightened, the emotional high disappeared so nothing keeps me on the level where I was yesterday. 5meo was a spoiler to this experience. Yesterday it was like "yeah, it's just openness, I've already seen it". I think the 5meo experiences are what keep my ego in check, because I know that there are a lot more intense ecstasies to experience. Thank you for all of your questions!

Everything is in me. Everything. I cannot comprehend my magnitude. Everybody has a whole world inside them, it's a miracle that we can interact with each other. I don't know anything, I cannot think clearly about a goal. Time is a thought, therefore it is part of my presence. I love it as I love myself. The whole structure of the ego is here. It is part of my presence. I will try to jump into it after I answered these questions. I feel like God can be "experienced" at the borderline of awareness. And it feels like awareness is infinite. God already experiences everything. But it's not our level. On our level the only reasonable thing to "do" is to be happy. Now the question is, how can you be the happiest when everything is understood and felt to be you?

It's like it's opening to let in the sensations. For example I feel the sounds in my chest, if it makes any sense...

No new thoughts. Why?

Not that kind of love :))
