How to be wise

@Gili Trawangan Well done.

J@Ampresus It’s good to start with 10 mins. In the end what will work is two things: consistency (doing it daily) and sustainability (keeping the practice for at least one year without seeing results). If you take care of those two, chances are you will find your way to extraordinary meditation sessions and huge progress.

@Dodo Idealism is correct, but incomplete. Solipsism must be added.

@LoveandPurpose Doing dry ‘consciousness work’ won’t work (most likely) because your depression will hit you in huge waves, and you must deal with them quickly. They will not wait for you to become enlightened! But you can do both at the same time with The Work of Byron Katie. I became enlightened only with this technique. Perfect if you suffered a lot like me.

@Cody_Atzori There are no people, no world. There’s no such thing as ‘absolute’ either. Even ‘God’ is just another concept. You seem to be questioning beliefs that bring you happiness. Why? If a belief is making you feel good, just keep it.

@Justincredible76 The Work of Byron Katie.

@Peo I used to have that a lot when I started self inquiry two years ago. It’s only the beginning, but enjoy it.

@Onecirrus It was deleted by youtube. The audio is still available on iTunes though.

@Aakash Something similar happened to me six months ago. Just remember it’s a state, not a stage. Expect it to pass.

@Aakash No one can know what’s happening inside you. Trust what your intuition is telling you.

@Pouya Well, you’re assuming that you exist.

@Bryanbrax No. That’s Byron Katie.

@Serotoninluv In the U.S. not in England. It was on video. I wasn’t present.

@Serotoninluv I’ve seen people in meditation and enlightenment retreats saying that they voted for trump because “they were scared.” What else could it be? Of course those people were never racist, and they didn’t vote for trump because of his racism, but despite it. And they apologised later as well.

@Leo Gura Even stage Orange/Green people can vote for trump if they have stage blue shadow issues.

Exactly.

@Nahm My friend, deconstructing my beliefs is not just something I want, it’s the only thing I want. I’ve been doing this for two years, two hours daily. My growth is the only thing I care about. I give close to no thoughts about the kids outside the school. This topic was to simply state my observations. I wasn’t wining about anything. As long as I’m following my integrity, I’m happy, no matter what happens in the external world. @Emerald Youre right when you say that I’m not cut for the job of controlling the class. But that’s me. Maybe other people are. I don’t know. I just prefer not to live a stressful life.

@Bryanbrax But what will those powers do for you? For your happiness.

@Nahm I didn’t understand your question. Can you ask it again.

This is all unconsciousness. How do I know? It’s fear based. It’s not easy to be a conscious teacher. All the things you mentioned will be the obstacles against it. I’ve struggled through all this for one year before I figured it out. And yes, you will probably be fired very soon! Again, conscious teaching is very difficult. It’s not for everybody. But what I can tell you is that, making this transition has made my job extremely enjoyable. I was lowered from a teacher to an assistant teacher. But know I basically get to have fun with the children, whilst I let the teacher take all the burden of ‘controlling’ the class.

@bejapuskas I’m waiting for them to pick it up. And so far, nobody came. That’s how I know they don’t need it.

@bejapuskas But are you being forced to watch Leo’s videos? No. Every week you go on YouTube and click on his video. He extended his hand, and you also extended your hand to reach his. It has to come from both ways. If someone doesn’t want something from you, you will have two options: wait or leave. Forcing it onto the person will not work, because they are not ready for it.

@Nahm As I said previously, they have no interest in learning of any kind. And that’s good. I want for them what they want for themselves.

@bejapuskas Again, this ranges from school to school. In your school, I see that teaching will be possible, but in some schools it isn’t. The children are not getting enough play time at home, so they don’t have the willingness to pursue more complex thinking.

@Nahm It’s a difference of community to community. A stage blue community will force their children to do religious work at home, whilst stage orange and green are more carefree. As a result, the children from the blue community are frustrated whilst the stage orange/green child is happy to learn. In my class, both communities are present, so I can easily see the difference, but more of them are from the blue communities. Of course, since the majority of the class is playing, even the orange/green kids will want to play as well.
