Ok Motus. I surrender to your power..

Motus is a great example of how spirituality can seriously delude you.. Spiritual ego on the loose

99% of people enlightened... as if there's a sure way to determine if someone is enlightened in the first place.

A massive blissful experience (I did have a quite few) after weeks of feeling like I was going insane. Went from chronic aniexty to incredibly relaxed with a heightened sense of awareness. It sure feels good to feel sane for once, it amazes me how lost I was before.

Was just thinking that the concept of enlightenment would be so obvious and natural if we were one of the first humans ever created, before any language was created. What would fill our mines if we never learnt language? Would we think at all? I'm guessing we would just recall sounds we hear and then play them over in our heads haha. Its interesting to think about where language came from in the first place..

You don't need to "seek" to be a sage. What Leo is saying is to be generally curious about the realms of consciousnesses and what there is to discover in life. If your still thinking in terms of what you can attain then that just shows where you are at in your development. After realization all that drops away, however you can still become generally interested in discovering many other things in life which becomes very fulfilling. Life is interesting why wouldn't you want to raise your awareness levels?

I think what his saying is thoughts and mental images are real as they happen in your direct experience..

Sounds to me like he may be Autistic and bit OCD to me. Maybe you should into that.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world.

You guys will find that it will be impossible to do meditation in the way you think is correct. For example saying that you should do it without a purpose is just making the purpose to have no purpose. There's nothing wrong with this though, it's how it's meant to be. Hopefully sooner or later you will become some so exhausted of your own bullshit that you will see a glimpse of the truth. You can't make this happen, it happens by it self.

I would say its more about being aware as you can't try and accept. Acceptance happens naturally after applying enough awareness to your thoughts and seeing them for what they are.

If you look more into Nihilism I think it's believing that life is meaningless in a negative sense, which will make you suffer.

@Snick hahaha it's probably how it goes

Make money and fuck bitches

@Leo Gura yeah that is true. I'm speaking from what I know to, as I have had some major awakenings the last couple of months after self inquiring a tonne. The ego doesn't go away but its not much of an issue as your not identified with it anymore, just a thing in the background. I have found that finding humour in it makes it die down very quickly, I find mine is pretty funny most of the time anyway haha. Yeah someone could easily be an arse hole if they felt like it because they would not take them or anything else that seriously (life is meaningless after all). At the same time I would think that most would have a sense of compassion and understanding of most people as you know they are essentially the same as you but being deluded by their egos. Everyone has there own authenitc desires at the end of the day though so if someone really wanted to be an arse hole I guess that's ok. Personally I desire to be kind and show respect as much as possible.

@Leo Gura Yeah but after enlightenment life just seems more of a game/movie that your participating in so its definitely a lot easier from there out.

Firstly your idea that you are continuously progressing somehow from mediation is completely delusional. Secondly your being very neurotic about it which indicates it may not be helping you that much. I'd suggest asking yourself why any clocked mediation work has any importance on the present moment. The present moment is the only thing that is important ? I've had the same sort of neurotic outlook on mediation in the past but it gets to a point where you know it's just a bullshit story your telling yourself.

I had a really big insight after doing DMT recently. I did it right after I had a massive Samadhi experience so it was good timing. I just surrendered into the experience and began to watch my thoughts. I become aware of how my mind was trying to make interpretations and meaning of what was happening but it was failing miserably as there is no way to make sense of such a experience. I have become incredibly relaxed ever since as I no longer take my mind that seriously.

All you need to do be mindful of how your ego and thoughts control your everyday life, you can try and do this at any moment in the day. If you can do this successfully and gather break through insights, then there is no reason to mediate. Mediation is just a tool for you to quieten a neurotic mind so you can slip behind the scenes more easily. Never listen to Leo's theory's about it needing to take a decade of mediation, this just another belief that is in his own way.
