Hi guys, I recently was searching amazon for a bracelet that I wanted to buy, and later came across items to aid with enlightenment, which were a variety of items within the jewellery section. And ranged from things such as, enlightenment pendants to necklaces. Do things like this actually work or are they just a scam in order to make profits for businesses? And do you know anything that boosts the speed at which enlightenment can come, (besides meditation) ; I'm referring to an item of sorts. Or do these things just exist in movies and fairy tales?

Hi guys, I've recently been doing a bit of hard determination sitting, as I've heard from actualized.org, as its the fastest way to get to enlightenment. But the problem is, I can't really sit still. I do a half lotus position, but later after 20 mins my legs usually begin to lose blood circulation, and I can't feel them and they become numb, so I end up moving into a new position e.g. by putting my legs straight out to improve blood circulation then going back into a half lotus. I however, do this 3 or 4 times every time I meditate, as the numbness and pins and needles becomes unbearable. Is this allowed, or should I simply just sit for 1 hour no matter how bad it is, as that is one of the main rules established by Leo, but the pain i can't avoid, however the itching and random pains that occur in my body are avoidable, and untouched, where as this is pretty hard, what do you suggest guys?

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I appreciate them.

@WelcometoReality Ok, I'll give that a try.

So, recently I just want the new movie Dr Strange, based upon a Marvel Comic. And, it explain how a surgeon has injuries and in order to fix them must first find the truth, and become enlightened. Which results in him doing amazing sorcery and changing time, going into parallel universes, and seeing himself from the outside his own body, as he becomes his soul, and there also is a power to become Immortal, which is done through practice and meditation, similar to what the majority of us do. Is it possible to gain magical powers from meditation, expand your life, and travel into alternate universes? Or is that just simply the Western Depiction of what Enlightenment is? Or is it possible?

My higher self initially wants to become healthier, as it knows I'm just simply killing myself, when I eat fast food now I get no satisfaction, and now to lose the weight I've gained I want to go to the gym, but do I need a gym membership or can I just do it at home? I know there are advantages of both, however I believe that if I was to do it at home it would allow myself to grow, as well as the fact that I'm scared as I think people would record me and embarrass me, additionally, I I think that if I do it at home if I get fit I will have a greater sense of satisfaction, as it requires more emotional labour.

I have begun to understand, that the area I live within contains a high level of neurosis and low awareness. As people, blame others for their own problems, and have a multitude of addictions, as well as a high amount of judgements done on others, and illegal activity (which is a projection) but has also been seen from my own eyes by me, and, as I have begun the pursuit to enlightenment I'm seeing this more and more and more, and its making me scared and angry. Which is why I fear my future. I'm thinking of moving out of this area when I get older, but the question is where is the nicest place to live, where people have a high level of awareness, low crime rate, and are not judgemental or have addictions?

@ajasatya in the book list right?
