You made yourself up

People who drink beer are cool. And people who dont are not

I look for a place or situation where i have minimal reason for thinking. And in adition avoid mental stimulation like tv or phone.

You just do it. When you start mentaly mastrubating about it, just stop and get to work. Thats all. Dont mental mastrubate about this awnser

@faith if you wake up in the morning and need to pee, you should go and pee. Instead of think about it for 20 minutes, trying to find a magical solution that doesnt exist.

@Adam M most teachers are not enlightend. And there are no levels within enlightenment. Only outside of it. Your mind changes, and so does the effectivness of a practis. Mix all you want and dont stick to one and turn it into religion.

@Jordan wang i agree with your parents. Keep working on yourself

Ever do something you dont agree with? Or dont do something you want? Ego A wants something but ego B screws ego A. Ego C looks for personal development to fix ego A and B. Makes sense? If there is something to fix you (or ego C) must know about it

@kieranperez freedom from ego in a sense turns the ego into nothing more then a tool, and gives you huge control over it. As what you describe is ego. The awnser is no . When enlightend you still use ego. You just dont believe yourself to be it and have freedom from it. P.s. enlightend egos happen. But thats not enlightenment. That just a problem you have to work on

Short awnser no .

Stop telling people about enlightenment. Take care of yourself and family in a practical way.

Everything is conditional. When you meet requirerment x y and z you choose to be happy. When a b and c requirement are not met you choose to not be happy. Often you never meet the requirments as they change all the time. And therefor you choose not to be happy. This is a list you madeup in your mind. The conditions. You can howevers say: fuck the list, im going to be happy right now.

On demand when the mind is not requiered. As long as the mind is not required. Which isnt that long as i do stuff during the day . While in the void, or being the void. There is nothing. Or the attention goes back to the mind (exit the void). This in a sense is my default position from where i use my mind and ego as a tool. I recommend everyone to practice spending time in the void as a daily practes.

@Loreena one is ego and one is not. Concepts like true, real, absolute, high, superior have no meaning for the enlightend. Apart from when the ego is used. The thing is do. They are uses as tools and theres no question to why they are there and where they come from. Which may give you a semi awnser
