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

@Josh2 freedom

@2000 additionaly you could add that its self inflicted and deep down you are enjoying the pain experiance. I know to some that sounds absurd. But who is in control of your mind? Want to blame someone else? You pay attention to positive things = your happy You pay attention to negative things = you suffer You watch porn = you horny You control what you pay attention to and what is important

@Joseph Maynor its like: all christians are already atheists

Thats the point im trying to make. Not so long ago. Burning people alive that had a certain belief was considerd good by that same rest.

@Loreena good and evil are both illusions and only based on your beliefs and opinions. And ofcourse this also aplys to larger groups. Most of what we would generaly agree on are evil people dont believe they are evil or are doing evil. So in a sense you could say that good and evil is just a agreement or disagreement

@Joseph Maynor depends on your personal definition of ego. Find the word comparable to the word god. Noone means the same thing. In a sense ego lets you enjoy life. We get excited about something. We mentaly mastrubate to motivate ourselfs. So in that way its a requirement for life. Ofcourse its also responsible for all the negative stuff. The thing is, you believe yourself to be the ego. Which you are not. When you seperate yourself from it (enlightenment, trancendens, etc) it becomes a tool. Instead of you life, that its now.

Jerking off is fine. Just dont spend the whole day doing it.

Hi Jesus. Welome to this forum

Every ego wants enlightenment for the same reason. Thats why brutal self honesty is very important. There are many. Only a few make it there jobs to get others there. The rest is just bussy living there lives. Enlightenment is to easy. And thats why its hard. As everyone needs to go true a long complicated process to realy see its pointless and that they are idiots. Or they will go true the process there whole life. Its only the ego that wants enlightenment. But freedom from ego is the awnser. And yes that means that before you get there you need to drop it and stop caring about enlightenment itself. The egoless doesnt give a shit about anything.

@goodwig try being more pressent in the body instead of in your head all the time, watch some mooji videos and be brutaly honest with yourself.

@nian you only exist within you thinking. To see this, a lack of thinking is required. In a storm of thoughts things are hard to see or notis .
