Neither.

I did do my regularly at a row for 1 week. Now I'm stuck.

The trend is for each new generation to become increasingly more detached from physical reality. Yesterday's Facebook generation is today's Bitcoin generation. The next generation will be relatively more abstract. The "Matrix" is not far off.

The more interesting question would be: How do Buddhist monks remain awake?

Speak for yourself - I'm a little teapot.

Mind cannot identify or classify true Self, anymore than your hands or feet ever could. Mind presupposes that it is a lasting separate self, but this is a powerful dualist delusion. The non-existent "self" or ego, cannot possibly ever get out of self.

"Self cannot get out of self" - Zen Master Huang Po

If we could finally "get" this most fundamental of all messages, we'd never need ask any questions again...

Allow me to rephrase that statement: "The ego is afraid of ego death." Or: Something that appears real but in reality is illusory, is afraid of non-existence. This message from Paul Hedderman will help you:

...what would you do with your precious time, and why?

... because we already are spirit. We can search for spirituality until the end of time. But we cannot find, cannot become, what we already are.

First time I've read through a long post - such a beautiful sad story... Your darkness has given you a gift, my friend. Grow with it, use it wisely.

I would really be interested in: "How I Fell Asleep: The Story And Dynamics Of My Sleeping"

Martin Ball... the epitome of spiritual ego.

Incorporating pets in your life is an essential part of any awakening. Just ask Saint Francis of Assisi.

While we're at it, stop messaging me on how to: Find weird anime porn; Give up binge drinking; Shield head from alien probing; Pick locks in the dark; Escape from incarceration. If you need to ask, then you are not ready.

Interesting. I often look out my windows from my desk, and see patterns in trees where there are none. Maybe the patterns are not there either...

Happiness, rainbows, maybe some pretty unicorns. Seriously, I don't have one.

No, it's not fine. There is a fine line between a "heroic" (more like egoic) 5-MeO dose, and a fatal one.

Are we... projecting here?

With so much time, I would procrastinate forever.

Indeed I am. I have a doctorate in the field of erroneous life choices.

Oh yeah? Then explain this, wiseguy...
