How to be wise

@SaltyMeatballs can you tell me what differences this meditation habit made to your life? Just curious.

@MarkusSweden Enlightenment is anti-survival. You must choose one or the other.

@AleksM I’m interested in how to channel with ‘higher beings’. What do they know? What are they? How much practice does it take to channel one of those entities?

@Dodo This is your egoic heart talking. The truth of non duality prevails over all things. You must choose between the truth or your ego. All your ideas of compassion mean nothing. The truth is what you must hold onto.

@Mikael89 When you are really dropping your beliefs, you should notice the notion of ‘reality’ falling apart.

@Mikael89 It’s not about ‘thinking’. It’s about beliefs. You don’t have to be thinking a belief for you to believe it. Even in apparent quietness, you’re still believing all of them. When you stop believing all thoughts, that’s called enlightenment.

@Mikael89 When you believe a thought about something, it changes your perception of it. Right now you are believing so many thoughts about reality that it literally created a ‘you’ and a ‘world’. Without those thoughts, there would be nothing.

@Principium Nexus No. You think it’s real, but it’s not. Your thoughts don’t create reality, they just make you believe it’s real.

@Principium Nexus Your thoughts about reality.

@Principium Nexus Reality doesn’t exist. You don’t exist. End of story.

@Edogowa Conan You can. The Work is far more powerful than meditation or yoga. Would like to see your progress.

@Charlotte egos can’t love

There hasn’t been new iTunes podcasts on Actualized.org episodes for over a month now. What happened @Leo Gura. Those podcasts where very useful to us people who listen to episodes on the go.

@okulele what is EFT tapping?

@TheSomeBody has nothing to do with spirituality or enlightenment. Restart the thread in the fitness and health thread.

@Faceless when was the last time you felt any negative emotion?

@Faceless my interest is whether you are ‘capable’ of it. Have you overcome boredom?

@Faceless how long can you sit still and do nothing, provided that your physical needs are taken care of? Days, weeks, or as long as you want?

The breaking of the illusion of time means that you don’t feel physical pain anymore, because pain always needs a past or future. That’s Byron Katie’s experience as well. Is that your experience?

@abrakamowse you’re welcome.

@Faceless are you already 100% free of suffering?

@Faceless are you practicing The Work?

@Faceless eventually, once you’ve advanced quite far with The Work, that thought will need to be given up as well. But I don’t see any relevance in what you’re talking about for the beginner.

@eskwire All suffering is caused by attaching to thoughts. Try to give me any type of suffering which isn’t caused by attaching to thoughts. Once you’ve unattached from all thoughts, you have no more suffering. Simple maths. What else is enlightenment but unattaching from thoughts. Once you’ve unattached from all thoughts, you have permanent non-dual awareness. Meditation is fine, until you come out of it and somebody cuts you off in traffic. You can achieve with The Work what will take decades with meditation. I’m talking about acquiring everything that the episode ‘Big picture of self-actualization’ was talking about. Why meditate when there is a fast track for enlightenment?

@Faceless @abrakamowse Attaching to thoughts is what creates time. How can you awake from time if you don’t unattach from them!
