the human identity functions as an unconscious entity therefore no reality, it is operating on programing, false belief system, and a warped perception of everything it has never touched reality and never will. Reality can only be experienced by a self realized being.

Has nothing to do with emptiness, why would you think that when it has to do only with being self realized and functioning as a self realized being that is able to see reality instead of illusions. Human beings, who function as the identity have made it complex with all their methods, doctrines, philosophies, paths, journeys, religions, that have people going here and there with no destination to achieve and no expectation of arrival. They have created many levels to enlightenment where there are none, you are self realized are you ain't there is no levels. What does a tree falling in the woods have to do with anything i said? I make it simple because it is simple, it does away with all those methods, doctrines, philosophies, paths, journeys, religions which are not much more than distractions.

Maybe it would help you to find the real you, experience it on a deeper level, and allow life to live you instead of you trying to live life, and just maybe life will bring to you what is important in all things you do. If there is something for you to do there will be enough desire to carry you to it, without all the doubts, confusion, and looking backwards.

i think you have some newage thinking involved in this. The human identity has no access to reality which is what truth is, a self realized being experiences reality and can speak to it, but not as the human identity. No human identity that i have ever known can even define reality or say where it is found and what is required to access it. I have ask that question and two others to a great number of people, how do you know when what you think you know is real, and what is your justification for even existing. The human identity cannot answer these questions, they can only speculate or make up things, or give someone else's words for it, it requires the living experience as a self realized being to understand and know these things.

if your development is still at zero you have no business advising anyone on anything, because you are not qualified and any advice coming from someone whose development is still at zero may create a world of problems for others, which in turn will come home to you. You don't need a private or silent place for development, that is just a thought of the human identity or an excuse for failure.

To lie, makes one a liar, a liar cannot be trusted, cannot be believed, one cannot function with integrity and be a liar, one cannot function as a human being with dignity and honor as a liar, its it worth all that to get along with the outside world?

Hi Mal, the only solution for the ills of this world is the evolution of human consciousness. That means awakening from the dream created by the consciousness that is possessing the identity body and begin to see, experience, and function as the true being that we are. We existed before the body, and will exist after it, the question is will it be in a liberated state of being, or a state of being that has not evolved to be able to liberate itself from the dream of the identity body with its programing, false beliefs and desires of the human identity.

Thanks for your reply ranzo, the only people who are qualified to talk about enlightenment or as i call it self realization are those who experience a transition from the human being to the kind of being that existed before the body and will exist after it has decayed. 99.9 % of the human population function solely as the human identity, which basically functions in an unconscious manner controlled by programing, false belief, and desires of the identity body. That which existed before the body (consciousness, which is the creative source of life), created the body to experience this life in, when it tires of it, it will step out of this body and continue on to other creations. In the 99.9 %, consciousness is lost in the identity body that it created, basically forgetting its true state of being. For the 1/10th of one percent, consciousness has awakened from the dream of the identity body and retained its ability to experience its true state of being, even while functioning in the identity body, but not controlled by programing, false beliefs and desires of the flesh, basically the identity body and its ego are in the back seat, rather than driving the car. The 99.9 % will leave the body with all its programing, false belief and desires of the flesh that it will have to deal with somewhere, sometime, because all of that is rooted within consciousness and will remain until liberation from it can be achieved. The 1/10th of one percent have become liberated from those things in this life and when they tire of the body they will simply step out of the body, as a liberated being of consciousness which is our true estate. I understand that the human identity cannot understand this, but when i speak of this in relation to the human identity, I am speaking to the consciousness, rather than the human being, in that it might create a spark within the consciousness of the individual, at a point that may lead to the awakening or a greater awakening. Even though you cannot fully grasp this now, contemplating these things may lead to a better understanding of yourself, understanding more about yourself and the real you that is possessing the body will bring greater change in your life. The answer to your question is in this. cheers

hahahahaha

thanks for your reply, i would like to comment on some of it. first there are no stages to enlightenment, you are or you are not, this is one of the huge misconceptions about enlightenment. Having a higher sense of awareness is good and that is forever changing, with all that you go through. The better fake life illusion, it is good that you see that the human identity is an illusion but i would not take that too far as it will create more problems for you, until you know yourself better. Thoughts, you cannot stop thoughts, you cannot still the mind as a human being, the fake illusion has no power to do that. How can a human identity still thoughts that are coming from their consciousness because of events, programing, false belief systems, that have taken root there, all these thoughts are coming from your own consciousness. Most things are confusing until you have enough experience, knowledge, and understanding of a thing. Let me ask you another question, what do you think enlightenment means?

why are you meditating? what do you hope to attain by doing it? what are you doing in meditation?

i think the problem is your thoughts and ideas about enlightenment, you have been listening to too many people pretend that they know something about enlightenment when in reality what they know is what they heard from someone else. I don't do meditation, neither don't i have any spiritual practice of any kind, What do you really know about dying, death, how can one who was never born die? what is the ego?

you said: Lately i hear a lot of self-help teachers /success-coaches etc. say : FOCUS ON JUST 1 THING / be like one massive river, dont have branches / put all your eggs in one basket / ...you get the idea... where did you get this idea from, maybe you have been listening to the wrong teachers you said: THE THING IS: all great people of all times have had a more wholistic approach on life do you really think this statement is true you said: i think in a world where we seperate everything, and have an educational system that creates so called "experts" we create a bunch of "idiots" who can´t see the bigger picture and only work like machines beeing realy good in 1 area, but what we need today is the exact opposite! so do you want to create a more intelligent bunch of human idiots,? what does the big picture mean to you? if i may ask

Haven't you always done what you wanted with your life? You are stuck in life functioning as the human identity, if that is what you want and enjoy, do it, what i hear you saying is you ran across this site and got caught up in it for a little while. Self realization or enlightenment is not something you just choose to do, that is why most go no where with it, it takes an intense desire for one to even tread this path, and you don't have that, and it is ok, just go do what you want to do as a human being until your desire for something else is greater.

you said: He stopped his study while we where in a relationship because he didn't put in the study work anymore. -He plays computergames all day (from 12:00 till 3:00 in the night).-> will only stop when he has a job->games too much to find a job. -He drinks too many glasses of beer or whine several days a week and therefor cannot have good sober talks or more-than-mediocre-sex -> feels pressured to be more energetic -> needs more alcohol to calm down-> etc. -He only has the energy for mediocre short sex once a week if I'm lucky. -He puts in very little effort to find a job and his parents and the state are taking care of him financially.-> cannot decide on his own what to do or where to live because parents have him by the balls. -He has no life purpose besides making me happy while I'm all ready happy and talks a lot about dreams but doesn't put in the work.-> feels like we should have more fun but doesn't have the money to do what he wants together and ends up not doing much. -He says very often that we will go and do something specific like a date or sex and then he ends up playing games or feeling "sick" or tired.-> knows that he doesn't provide a lot of attention or emotional stimulation. -He never works out.-> low energy-> doesn't want to work out because of low energy-> etc. -He smokes.-> feels stressed when he doesn't -> smokes more-> gets stressed by the cost of smoking -> smokes more etc. the problem is not with him, the problem is with you, if you accept all of the above, just how much will you accept? my question is why are you even with this guy after all of the above. I guess you could lower your standards and stay, but then you are already doing that, how low are you willing to go in lowering your standards for any man. I think you know the answer already , you should have dumped him before now and moved on with your life, You are in a relationship with a loser, and you will become a loser if you remain with him. Its not rocket scientist, if you were fullfilled and happy you wouldn't be writing what you did. This relationship over before it began.

It is normal for the human being to have moments of oneness with its core. But most are never aware of that, few are able to hold that state of being for any length of time. It appears by your text that you may have experienced some of these moments, but you are now speaking as the human identity, the identity, ego, and desires of the flesh are resisting this experience. Your idea that every thing seems pretty worthless and your mind going crazy are signs that you are functioning as the identity. the thought process when consciousness is functioning as the identity will always create issues, problems, consequences. In reality the ego is all the programing, false belief system that has been created and the desires of the flesh that has taken root within your consciousness. At present it is making all your choices for you, you only think you have a choice. These things will only allow you to hear certain things, they will cause you to reject what doesn't fit your belief system and programing. Few understand that a cleansing of the consciousness has to occur in order to be liberated from those things that are now controlling everything, you do, say, think, feel and even see. The cleansing of the consciousness cannot be done while functioning as the human identity. At some point you may have a great enough desire to be liberated from those things that bind you, or you will remain and function as the human identity as it allows more and more to become rooted in consciousness that will eventually have to be over come. What takes root in consciousness is actually quantum memory, it doesn't cease to exist when the body dies, no one can forgive it, or erase it for you, functioning as a being of consciousness will begin to cleanse the consciousness, that will bring change for the identity.

Birds of a feather flock together. I have lived this aloneness all my life, when you don't follow the crowd in life you may sense that you are alone as you awaken,and because you are awakening it doesnt mean that everything around you is awakening with you, it isn't. Consider the feeling a good thing, and know that once awakened you are connected to everything in a way that really counts. As you awaken you will see those around you in a more clear way, fully self realized you will know them better than they know themselves. That feeling of being alone is just a thought, how can you be alone when in your realness you are the creative source of life.

well i want to wish you the best

"No one has any idea to what degree they are shaped by the people and conditions of their environment until they undertake to extricate themselves from it." -- Jed McKenna I understand this better than 99.9 % of human beings. I suspect the forum is not what is causing your distress, it is something deeper, and apparently the forum and the views here are affecting you in a way that may be agitating your issues outside of the forum. Can i ask why you came here and what did you expect when you got here, and as for the small gesture you ask me to agree on, i thought i gave you a good gesture, in how to solve the problem you had with the site, without pain and conflict. You have issues in your life, did you come here to find solutions or help for those issues?

when you put stuff on the world wide web it is no longer yours, sometimes you just have to forget it and move on. my advise to you was to make it easier for you.

hahahahahha i think you love this place

It was quantum physics that really help me to understand what had happened to me in my life, the book sounds interesting i will have to check it out, thanks, time is an illusion, the human identity needs time, outside of that it doesnt exist

why not just delete the website from your favorites, then it will no longer exist, and if you dont come here, you wont know that you have any post or account to worry about deleting.

Are you sure that you are talking about a friend? I have no friends that would attack me verbally or any other way. I choose who my friends are, why aren't you doing that?

what does it matter if it is real or not, most will never know, what should be important is to achieve a state of liberation from the fictitious identity, the programing, the false belief, the desires of the identity and its ego, and be able to function in the moment of life as a being of consciousness, whereby you see the reality of the events that arise around you and within you, and you may choose to embrace or ignore what doesn't serve you well and that which would create consequences, so in reality reincarnation doesn't even matter whether it is true or not, and i think most who are talking about it are full of bull and just repeating what they have heard or read from someone else's words. If it isn't living experience for you , it ain't real
