Egos fighting egos about egos, thanks for the entertainment . I guess the simplest answer to "why animals fear death" is that if they wouldn't they would be extinct by now. p.s. what does a "self realized fucking cow" steak taste like? Is it something like dry aged or better?

You can try to drill a hole with a hammer, and fail. Or you can come to the realization that you need a drill and use that instead.

@laurastarla did you look in to how this affects the real-estate value and the resell-ability?

@Nadie To reach enlightenment you don't need to do anything. You just need to stop doing so much. I am projecting ego all over your post. And all this resistance is just you screwing with you. If that makes sense. Superiority? All frustrations/resistance is ego. Be brutally honest with yourself so you can let go of set resistance. Ill take the first step and let my ego go wild: "Im enlightened as fuck! cute woman, give me some validation on what i am saying, i am god, i am superior, i am separate".

I would also suggest doing both, but enlightenment more as in preparation towards awakening if that makes any sense.

@Bruno By not cherishing the thoughts that cause the emotions. Note: this does in no way mean you should ignore them as that is also cherishing them.

@MochaSlap Straight up answer Life Purpose.

My mind controls me. But i am not "me".

All suffering comes from you not agreeing with reality. This is also ego. When you accept what is, you have no reason to suffer. He for sure has sleeples nights worrying about the future or other problems like most people.

Maybe if they dont cremate you.

@Whatev3r The mind is ego. In a sense all thinking is ego. Get out of your headspace by focusing on your body. Like prev example or other.

Its so quiet in the morning, i love the silence, the birds, no people talking to you, the time before the chaos starts.

@Whatev3r This answer probably sounds weird, but im serious. Try to focus on your right big toe (feel it in your shoe, socks, feel the nail, etc) when you feel you are getting anxious. You will find out why when you try it.

@Joe Zhou You want to talk to this girl, then start to think and think and think, and eventually you dont?

@avk123 Have a look at Abraham Maslow's papers, will make it even more interesting from the psychological point of view.

Is changing your mind or your opinion doing something wrong? From your posts it looks like you are very critical of yourself, and obviously me telling you to cut yourself some slack doesn't do anything. What is it that you are really looking for?

@avk123 The question is more, is it a addiction? and after getting set material for how long are you happy? and thus was it worth it and does it give you fullfilment? Then again, if i win the lotery im not going to refuse the prize .

@Vegeta People only help cause it makes them feel good, me included. And many do it for the validation, which makes them feel even better. Regardless its dificult to project someones mind. And somethings might lead to positive results and others not. Do one puzzel at a time. And when you meditate put the focus on your body instead of your mind, so your mind can calm down.

@Vegeta Its in egos interest to project its far superior opinions and beliefs on to you. This is for most completly unconsius. Work on your conflicting beliefs.

@Frogfucius Whats not a illusion?

@Vercingetorix Ego is a very confusing consept. As it mostly ego defining ego. Lets say ego is a pair of glasses that you cant take of nore you know your wearing. The no ego xp is a temporary crack in this glasses. Enlightenments is the permenant awareness of the glasses.

@MochaSlap What Leo said + do life purpose first. As in a sense it gives you tools that help you on the path and has a practical aplication.

Sure there's no need to suppress it, additionally suppressing is actually paying extra attention to set thoughts. Of course i use my ego, even worse i am projecting on you . Kind of hard to communicate without. I don't

How do i say this. Suffering in above example is just a projection. When you become completely aware of your projections (no ego, enlightenment, what ever you want to call it). You literally have to option to not pay any mind to set projections. At which point, suffering in this case becomes a conscious choice. I know this is hard to swallow since most people have the belief that when they don't suffer because of this they are a bad person.

@MochaSlap Enlightenment in a sense is freedom from ego. Personal development in a sense is making your ego less screwed up. You should see how that means that there are relevant to each other while at the same time not @cetus56 This so called love is a interpretation done with the ego. Same goes for suffering. When all ego is removed they become optional in a sense. Both are just a projection, however, since we live in set projection, we might as well enjoy it. Choosing to suffer at that point is for lack of a better word "stupid".
