Is it fine if instead of doing one 60 minute sit I'll do two 30 minute sits?

Why don't you first find out who is the one asking all of those questions?

The title of the first video triggers me.

Man, believe whatever the fuck you want. Also, why is this on Meditation, consciousness, enlightenment, spirituality?

I can be aware of everything but myself, I can't find me and I am starting to get worried that I never will. I can intellectually understand that I am not the "I" thought since it is impermanent but I am permanent. Since I can't be aware of myself the only other option I can see is to literally "become" what I already am, but how?

There is a book called "Direct Experience" it is the best book I know of about awareness. P.s: Don't take anything I say here literally.

What kind of "strange sounds" did you hear? please describe.

@AlwaysBeNice Non-existence filled with all the non-existence is non-existing in existence where there is no non-existence filled with all the non-existence there is.

If this is existence than what is non-existence?

@NTOgen And how to do that? being?

Hey Marc, your journal is very, very inspiring. I have a question to ask you, for how many hours (roughly) have you been doing self-inquiry in total?

Ever heard about lifestyle minimalism?

Who is this "I" you're talking about? Inquire.

What if NOT?

In self-inquiry am I supposed to be aware of awareness or pay attention only to the "I" thought?

As @Kserkkj said there are plenty of ways to have enlightenment experiences, people have been doing it for thousands of years without psychedelics!

@Pia Make meditation a constant habit, doing it on and off won't give you the results you want.

Have you got a meditation habit going? if not than I recommend starting one. It can benefit you greatly.

I can relate, I had this problem in the past. After I raised my base level of mindfulness it stopped, awareness is curative in itself. Be patient and keep meditating.

Hey, lately I've been feeling tightness in my chest during meditation. Its a little hard to breath in fully. I am not really sure what to do about it? Any advice?

@cetus56 I don't think that I meet requirements to see that, yet.

@cetus56 Sorry, I don't understand.

@cetus56 Basically, keep meditating?
