I see, sorry then ?

lol, nice one

Nice dick measuring contest I see My meditation goes beyond time

I think little bit of exploration of other traditions won't hurt you. In fact, it will broaden your understanding of christianity and strenghten your ability to connect with Christ even more. Strongest priests and monks that I know are those who ventured into different traditions and came back with a new level of wisdom. To be able to connect to Christ on consciouness level is not easy and you need to be somewhat evolved. Meditation and yoga can help you to reach that state where you're able feel Christ's presence and grace in your heart. From there, only then you become a true Christ follower. Regards ❤️

I think energy and awareness are deeply linked together. If you rise energy, automatically you'll be more aware, like cranking up the voltage in a lightbulp, the higher the voltage, the brighter it shines. In a similar way the higher your energies are, more aware you become. ?❤️

Hi If you're looking for an energy practice or something esoteric but with a christian flavour, you can try christian Kabbalah. It has lots of interesting things that you probably never knew existed. Tau Malachi is one guy that I know who has a very high quality and authentic material on these matters. You may find something interesting there. Take care

Maybe you have stuffed nose? If so, doing intense kriyas or pranayamas will make your stomach hurt more. ?

That's a nice insight You can actually extend this method to everything that you do. How you move your body, how you position yourself, things you say, when you say, how much you say. Every move you make can be guided by this infinite inteligence. The more you become one with it the smoother it flows through you. It's called wu wei or god's action also. That's the essential quality needed for becoming a spiritual teacher, imo. And for living in harmony in general. ❤️

I woudnt worry about the final goal of enlightenment. I would just focus on rising my awareness little by little and that's it. How far you go is not important. Important thing is today you've raised your consciouness little bit and that's all one can do. That's the only thing in our hands. If you do that today, then it will amount to a successful day. If you do that every day, then it will be a successful life. It's a lifelong journey of endless refinement, not a sprint. Sprinter's mentality is not going to work well in a marathon Regards ❤️

Very nice. Very inspiring to read. I think it's enough for today, I'll ask you some more about psychedelics some day maybe Good luck to you ❤️ Love

Wow, I'm impressed. I want to know more about your backstory if you don't mind. How long since the shift happened and how? Did psychedelics helped you in any way ? ?

Nice thread Do you have to make effort to stay as presence? ?

Dope

If you can be a concious presence while you talk to people, that's already enough even if you don't speak about self-inquiry or meditation. Your presence becomes a teaching and an inspiration and upliftment of consciouness. From that a conversation about Truth may haopen by itself sponteniously. That's God's timing and appropriateness. You can't learn this. You have to become one with this presence. Then it will guide you every step and word that you say. You're on the right track but you need to stabalize and deepen into this concious presence more until it becomes like your breath itself so you don't speak from your mind and conditioning when you speak with people. god bless ?

@Twega Hi ? I don't know what to comment anymore, sorry. I hope you're well. ? Regards and Good luck?

@Leo Gura Lol but you can't argue with the fact that many are abusing substances recklessly inspired by your good intentions I think Osho cared for his people and really loved them. I don't see any evil in his heart. Unconsciousness is the source of all evil. And he looks super conscious to me. Regards ?

@Bojan V half joking Osho had some sober and intelligent studends also, few nutcases are inevitable when you have milions of followers. I'm just pointing out the irony of good teachers having a bad influance. This can be observed in many places I think. Cheers ?

Come to think of it it's like actualized.org also. Created with a good purpose to bring positive influance on people but ends up being a drug abusing hippy club. Lol the irony ?

Bro, meditating 20-30min a day is not going to prevent you from achieving these goals. It will only enhance your life in a most positive way. Regards ?

Increadible. I'm suprised they allowed it to be filmed. What fascinates me about these buddhist is how ordinary they look. They look so ordinary I almost feel better then them just by 2months of meditation practice and they never have "I'm special" smirk on their face. They just quietly dissapear from the world. Amazing quality of being egoless. ?

It's the later. When you become more aware it feels like some amount of thinking has dropped. But it dosnt nessecarily dissapear. It can play itself out in a larger space of awareness of pure Being. Sometimes you can even experience a train of past impressions dissolve in front of you very fast and you're just witnessing untouched by anything. There're many ways to do it. You can just observe thoughts like a silent witness without any judgement or evaluation. Just observe without any reaction to what you see. It can lead you to the very bottom of awareness. Either way you do it is fine. You benefit regardless. Chose a way that you resonate and that feels easy for you and that's enough. "Remember easy means right" ~Osho sayed once I think. Good luck ?

Lol. How very compassionate of you. no seriously. That was a strong letter from you. I think maybe you misunderstood something what I wrote. I'm sorry if I touched a nerve. I hope you're okey. Regards ?

Don't you see? Everybody wants fulfillment. An everlasting perfect fulfillment without any suffering aka "end of suffering". That's what all human beings long for including you and me and everybody. All desires are just the same one desire for perfect fulfillment. So don't you see that it is not understanding of reality that is most important but a perfect fulfillment that is most important? Everything else is secondary. This has huge implications really. Yes understanding has it's place I'm not trying to belittle that. I'm just asking what can be more important then perfect fulfillment? If understanding of reality can't get you perfect fulfillment is it really most important then the end of suffering? When seeking understanding is just a failed attempt to find perfect fulfillment? You say you don't care about the end of suffering but I say you have no choice about it. All people care only about the end of suffering/perfect fulfillment and nothing else. Some are conscious about it and others not. Different people use different means to get there. But the only way to get there is permenant enlightenment. I wonder if you agree with this or no Cheers! ?

Hi @Samsonov Whichever way you do it is okey because you benefit either way. Even if you're doing nothing lost in thinking that is still relatively okey and would still give you some benefit. Different people understand this "do nothing" practice differently according to their level maturity. The highest and most powerful way of interprating "do nothing" is by dropping the intention even to meditate. Basicly when you're meditating there's an intention inside your mind and an effort to reach a certain state or goal. An earnest seeker can even become aware of that very subtle effort to become effortless. When you become aware of it you trancend all effort altogether. There you find an absolutlely effort-free space of awareness, untouched by anything, your True Self. The moment you try to achieve awareness you're already not it, you become a seeker who's trying to get somewhere. But you don't need to make a single movement to be what you are. Awareness is not affected by what a seeker does or not do. It sounds like a riddle but it's very simple actually. And yet it takes a certain maturity to get it. I hope you get it someday. Regards and good luck to you ?
