If flowers had no preferance whether to live or die, those flowers wouldn't bother to absorb the water and nourish itself imo.

I think if body didn't have any bias for survival then it wouldn't bother to heal and maintain itself 24/7.

One without any bias would probably be in samadhi I think.

Tell us. I'm interested.

Good point.

I would add, put some chocolate cookies in your kitchen so that it motivates to get out of bed sooner

"We're all gonna die anyways" Lol, joking. I would argue the only insight that could reduce suffering is the insight into one's true nature. Or maybe not, idk.

I personaly when can't wake up put my back against the wall and meditate for some time in semi sleep/semi meditation state. Then the lethargy and resistence wears off somehow. I think this could work also.

I think great art is that which uplifts your spirit or can touch you in some deep way.

Well consciouness never sleeps. It's not like conciousness dissapears from existence when we fall asleep. So it should be possible imo. I think it's called Turiya state. Cool.

If one listens carefully between 7:10 and 7:40 Krishnamurti says God is Love.

@WelcometoReality interesing answers

So the end of trying caused the union? What is this non-seperation you talk about?

@WelcometoReality so now what? You stopped trying and what happened? Did you get enlightened? Any shift in conciousness? Any shift in energy? Did the suffering of desire came to an end? Did all internal conflict caused by desire gone away? Did your personal sense of self died? Did you expand into nondual state of presence?

@Mahyar

Sharing your progress can indeed be an ego game. To find validation and boost your self image as 'enlightened guy'. Even giving advice is often just a way to feel superior then others and feed the ego. (Very common phenomena on this forum, and I would include myself into this also.) There is a way of giving advice and sharing your progress in a positive way tho. Whenever your actions and words inspire awe, then it's just an ego game and self validation seeking. If your actions inspire gratitude in others. That means that action is pure and helpful. Amen. Edit. Now what I've just sayed was to inspire awe or gratitude? Probably a mixture of both imo. It takes a lot of maturity and purification and spiritual growth to give advice to people without trying to impress them with your knowledge and feed your ego. It's a rare quality of an authentic master imo.

I'm looking for happyness.

When somebody gives a random advice on the forum.

This. And this. I've been telling you this for a long time already. The problem is, intention to surrender is itself an effort. Your effort starts way beyond your current reach of awareness. That's why you can't stay in permenant presence because you're not even fully aware of how much unconscious ego struggling there is. If you want to be in permenant effortless presence, you must learn to observe effort as if it was an object in your mind. Then effort or no effort makes no difference anymore. Even if you're full of effort you won't lose presence.

Does the question, who am I, has many different realizations? Or is it the same realization in different degrees of comprehenshion?

Never saw a single video of them but I don't like them already ? Watch some J.Krishnamurti better. A much higher quality, authentic material. Or stay with Mooji and Spira. Everybody can fake enlightenment by saying the self is not. But peace and harmony cannot be faked. It's a sign of truth. It's a good indication that material is authentic and good quality.

The point is when one realizes that ego is illusory, total disidentification happens and limited identity gets replaced with infinity. So you can't have an ego trancendence without nondual infinite consciouness happening with it. They go together. Realisation that ego is illusory requires enourmous increase in conciousness also. Otherwise it's just intelectual.

But that's what is happening i believe. I think one day you'll realize everybody was telling the same thing you do except in a different language. Saying "I'm nothing" is very appropriate teaching which is equally as true as saying "I'm everything". But you seem to fight over "I'm everything" stance as the only true perspective even tho to say "everything is nothing" is exacly the same statement. So it's just a word game in the end. And unfair criticism of many schools for using different wording i believe.

Lol ? I still think it's a word game ? yes I can say poo is eternal because energy is eternal. E=mc^2. Nothing ever dies. Everything is energy and that energy is god. Everything is god. Nothing ever dies. Energy never dissapears it just changes form. And the energy itself is always eternal. That way it make sense. To me this is just a wording problem. I feel buddhists are talking about the same thing just in a different language and I wanted to fight for their side a little bit to leverage the field i find your criticism of budhhism to be a bit unfair sometimes. To me "I am nothing" and "I am everything" means exacly the same thing. Edit. Nothingness is also energy. A primordial energy. Everything is energy. Everything is god. Everything is eternal.

@Leo Gura That's nice. I get this actually. Yeah it's true. It's true. I agree with everything you sayed I forgot what we're debating about ? The only thing I would put it differently is the wording. I wouldn't call changing impermenant reality - eternal. By definition it doesn't make sense to me. "Every moment is eternal even if it is fluid" yeah but it is nothingness that is eternal not the dancing energy. Dancing energy is temporary. That would be my only difference in percepective. Edit. And yes dancing energy is also nothingness because it comes from nothingness. And are of the same nature. It is one. But somehow it is not eternal. Because by definition if it is changing it is impermenant and not eternal.
