Aware

Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.

Listen without listening, and you will now.

@Wormon Blatburm Thats a new one indeed. Now Shush SBB4746. No more nonsense.

Dear readers, I fairly do not believe in many ways to enlightenment, because its the same illusion that is given up, and always the way of self. One must become himself the way, and that is always the case. The difference people make is only an excuse to validate their practices as a valid way to enlightenment, just to keep ones possessions and bad habits along the way and hoping to find like-minded that agree, that there should be a way to have both the possessions and bad habits + enlightenment and put it under a different definition as a new validated practice. (which most will agree upon of course, because its difficult to attain Awareness). But its sophism to state: Because the many accepted it, there for valid practice to enlightenment. Which cannot be the case ever, due to that everything is temporary in nature, and that we have the tendency to bind due to that, (it wants to survive as a composite). We keep running from ourselves if we have all those possessions, worries and cravings to get more. Even with valid practice to get it, we still run. Enlightenment is about going to the eye of the storm, no more running, sitting through it, and throwing away all that the mind binds to. I can put one million in a row, just sitting, without defilements: Awareness + Body = Enlightenment... There is no difference. Our ways to enlightenment do not differ either, its just always the same case, the attachment to the desire, did no longer get support, and dissolved. And this attachment to this desire, the illusion of separation is also always the same illusion. The only true difference is, is one attached to his desires, or is one not. And that gives rest, because this means, that anyone that is suffering, indeed suffers by the same illusion, and is no different either when he gets rid of this illusion. So all the reason to be loving and kind, compassionate. I have commented and corrected many views here, please understand, that I do not attack persons, I do refer to their concepts in their posts. So please don't take them personally. I have seen some having attained the vision of Dharma, and some who advanced to 1 returner. In truth its just the exhausting mechanism that goes on due not being able to through away the vision of truth (so its not a level), all that saw the vision of it, will eventually become fully enlightened. And that is something splendid. Such is the power of Dharma. I wish you all the best, and may you all become true to yourselves, making of yourself the way, and the one walking it, and the one that reaches the state of enlightenment and its discipline to remain unattached to desires dwelling freely, without attachment. My love and respects to everyone, (I thank Leo for the opportunity to teach), Motus

@SBB4746 What has that to do with attacking a person without having any reason?

How so SBB? Where are your arguments? You are attacking a person that doesn't exist, how can that not be deluded? I could have been remaining a rich man if I wanted. Back then I spoke like you did. However I discovered that I was the one that was deluded. And did something about it. How unfriendly of you to just attack, and no arguments to support it, nothing to say about the subject I presented, and yet I have nothing done wrong to you. (prove me wrong). I have had no contact or what so ever with you. You could just ignore me yet you do not and prefer to just attack. How can this not be deluded?

Oh, someone is going to miss me.

@jse Please stay working on yourself. You still havent learned your lesson: Dear Jse, You miss again the point, Jse. So I will again explain it to you. The dhammapada, is well studied by me, and its examples are good to share. I live up to those examples, secluded from unwholesome deeds, sense indulgence, concentrated on Awareness and I am awakened to my true duty in accordance with my True Self. However, you seem to miss the point again. Your aim should not be me, but the subject that is presented. If you find it misinformation, support this with decent evidence. Refer to what is pseudo-wisdom in what I shared here as teachings. If someone lives up to it, and shares examples that enlighten the way, then surely this is wise to do. For those who follow it up, and look into it, surely, this is wise to do as well. However, if you do not come up with decent arguments, surely any intelligent being reading this, will surely understand that what you say is hollow, your own misunderstanding that is situated in either your own passions or ignorance. And should read the Dhammapada yourself and put it into action. I do not see a single article coming from you, that actually challenges what I shared here as teachings. There for I conclude because of not taking a stand to actually debunk it with decent arguments, your post as being filled with ramblings and pseudo-wisdom, egotism and can be there for classified as foolish, per swaying people to agree on things that lack evidence and has therefor nothing to do with wisdom, being intelligent and being situated in the fruit of wholesomeness. If you disagree, and are not willing to put any evidence in what is wrong with what I am teaching here, and why it should be otherwise, and how it should be otherwise, then surely if you can't keep your mouth shut, sit still, putting your attention on yourself and being concentrated on Awareness, and instead just keep mumbling around here in this forum referring to me how I am situated in spiritual egotism, you clearly miss your aim, and are yourself trying to astray by your pseudo-wisdom. For you can also just not read what I write, put me on ignore, and leave it at rest. But you do not do this, you come to me, again and again. How can that be of a good intent? Surely you didn't miss that.

@Neo Systematic error.

I will give it thought.

@Neo Then this being, must have done something very unwholesome. A serial killer that also killed his own parents, will absolutely have a root thought: I own myself. While no one can own ones self, for everyone must die. But if you mean it cannot be the accumulation as being the person (separated I), then this is still in accordance, with that such things, constructs change.

@Neo Its a result of deeds of wholesomeness... It means that for a moment, one sees that there is no separated I. And when in this space, the vision of Dharma is attained. Which just is seeing directly the true law of action and result. That previous deeds have let to this vision, and that this vision will eventually someday lead to fully be free of mind. Its a correction of a wrong view. First one thinks: From the brain, thoughts arise, and now, one realizes, no, its the other way around, without Awareness, my body is just a lump of wood. One sees, we are the result of our thinking, heirs of our thinking, the accumulation of our thinking. Which is the right view, in accordance with that everything is temporary in nature. There is no room for an I that is separated in this total continuation.

If I would continue, it will most certainly lead to division at some point. People will feel as if they need to choose between Leo and me. And this is of course not true. Someone with developed eyes will see, that they first must do a lot what Leo shared, to get what they want, in order to see that it is a form of running (thats how I review it). That does not make what Leo teaches, not valid, not at all the case. Its just not the same teaching. But both have their function, that is eventually beneficial for all here.

No you are absolutely right, I am reading about "Debate" its in your language VERY loaded with politics, which is in our country totally not the case. We have "debates" as a proper formal discussion form, that is a structured philosophical approach with the listener or reader in mind that benefits from the given statement that is debated. (is used in universities in for example philosophy, does god exist?) For politics, we have political debate which its purpose can be for the listener but is to promote ultimately and why others are lacking and why with a clear intention (not to instruct or educate), its a clear distinction while in your language it seems automatically loaded with politics. So you are absolutely right. I lacked on the language meaning on this one. And mean thus, proper discussion.

The non-duality war I personally think its very healthy if there is a part on the forum where people actually truly can debate discuss it, but not mengled with the articles of certain paths. Because it can get them to think critically. (it requires however another set up in the forum). I do strongly disagree that all paths are as good as others. Of course, someone who is further sees that the 8 folded path, that purifies the desires is best among paths, because someone is thrown in himself. But what makes something like this, or such a claim toxic? Because there is certainly a point being made by Leo. Keep in mind the 8 folded path, we will come back on that in a min. So what is then so toxic? I will show you guys an example of what is toxic, what is a perfect example of trying to "debunk" something in an ill way (not to forget, debunking is healthy, I promote it). Here is an example shown that is actually thrown, and already explained in my comment what is so wrong about it. Dear xxxx, You miss again the point, xxxx. So I will again explain it to you. The dhammapada, is well studied by me, and its examples are good to share. I live up to those examples, secluded from unwholesome deeds, sense indulgence, concentrated on Awareness and I am awakened to my true duty in accordance with my True Self. However, you seem to miss the point again. Your aim should not be me, but the subject that is presented. If you find it misinformation, support this with decent evidence. Refer to what is pseudo-wisdom in what I shared here as teachings. If someone lives up to it, and shares examples that enlighten the way, then surely this is wise to do. For those who follow it up, and look into it, surely, this is wise to do as well. However, if you do not come up with decent arguments, surely any intelligent being reading this, will surely understand that what you say is hollow, your own misunderstanding that is situated in either your own passions or ignorance. And should read the Dhammapada yourself and put it into action. I do not see a single article coming from you, that actually challenges what I shared here as teachings. There for I conclude because of not taking a stand to actually debunk it with decent arguments, your post as being filled with ramblings and pseudo-wisdom, egotism and can be there for classified as foolish, per swaying people to agree on things that lack evidence and has therefor nothing to do with wisdom, being intelligent and being situated in the fruit of wholesomeness. If you disagree, and are not willing to put any evidence in what is wrong with what I am teaching here, and why it should be otherwise, and how it should be otherwise, then surely if you can't keep your mouth shut, sit still, putting your attention on yourself and being concentrated on Awareness, and instead just keep mumbling around here in this forum referring to me how I am situated in spiritual egotism, you clearly miss your aim, and are yourself trying to astray by your pseudo-wisdom. For you can also just not read what I write, put me on ignore, and leave it at rest. But you do not do this, you come to me, again and again. How can that be of a good intent? Surely you didn't miss that. ................................................................................................... (So for all haters of Leo (or anyone else that is hated) that do not have come yet with decent arguments and are not willing to present them, but are just attacking, this message above is for you as well). The same counts for all that have something to say about Leo... If you don't have decent arguments, then leave it be. You must be ready to give arguments when asked for them. However I do point out towards Leo, see, they throw at me as well, and I have seen very very nasty things being said towards Leo, without a decent argument, or not willing to later point things out more, clearly with decent arguments, (e.g youtube) and I have seen nasty things being thrown at me. So whats toxic? That which makes it toxic, is that people do not come with decent arguments, and when asked, still don't. I would definitely would like to see a place where people can criticize peoples work, but with decent arguments (I stand widely open to be debunked very hard, but one must be coming with arguments, that are verifiable, and if I ever write something, people can just say to me: Please let us debate this, I wanna put this to the test with decent arguments, and I shall never say, I am not interested to support my claims with decent arguments with a clear mark of refraining from sophism). Preventing this healthy critical thinking in a forum, surely will lead people to think, oh Leo is going to discern who is non dual and who is not, and this is however imposing a non-dual by not non-dual which is toxic if not supported by good, solid arguments. (I am willing to support this further if Leo wants this, I stand wide open to make myself useful here) I don't believe Leo meant that as his intention however. Remember the claim about the 8 folded path? I dare to speak out that the 8 folded path is the best among paths. And I am willing to put decent arguments on that. Nothing toxic about that. However, I do am afraid that many, just can't put up decent arguments that are refrained from sophism, to actually truly demonstrate why its wrong even if they would wish. Some examples from other works, is just not enough to debunk something, although a valid point can be made. I am not supporting psychedelics, but I am betting that Leo would not say to me: Motus, you are crazy, you didn't gave me solid reasons why not, you are toxic. I always come with arguments, and if not, one can always ask for them, and I give them. And I find this healthy, because in this way I can warn for his reputation, (its what a good wise friend would do)! Create an article about what truly is non-dual according to you, and stand open for an argument back, letting readers decide for themselves. Thats key. And I would suggest that the administrator can use this information for improvement into all directions. (useful information can come out). Saying: Those non-dual, will never debunk something or debate it and correct a wrong view. This is not true. An enlightened being, or someone with a great understanding or someone rooted in Dharma, is only here to debunk with powerful sublime arguments. Debunking is for example what you do as well Leo, its what you should do. Its refraining from such duty that is dual, being attached. I wonder how many people got debunked by Leo in a positive manner, and I well support many of the points he made. (And I maybe should give those more credit here). I would rather say, if someone makes a probable toxic claim, they should be able to start an article on a forum, and challenge this. IF they do not respond to that, not even when asked in private to join it, or do join, but keep being toxic, not using arguments, just sophism to persway people and make war, now that is a reason to ban. I don't see a reason to ban, because he said; take the path I took, your path is wrong Leo. Or, Leo is not the right teacher. Motus is a bad teacher, his teachings are rubbish. (taking this personally is of course based on a wrong view, there for asking for arguments, which if one is not willing to put, and keeps going on with sophism and per swaying, then you can state: Wrong intent, false speech, wrong act, wrong view, wrong place of attention and concentration) (= Reason to ban?) Why no banning straight away, what do I think? Because, such a claim can be supported by arguments and should at some point, and the reader should ask for them to kindly explain why, if the writer did come up with decent arguments that can be checked to be valid, by his own core with a clear mark of refraining from sophism, he should be reasonable. Well now, the one answering should put decent arguments, and refraining from sophism. Otherwise, yes, if one just claims widely, without arguments, just throwing and throwing, is indeed making toxic claims due to not willing to support this claim with decent arguments. Deciding what is a good argument, valid argument etc, yes, one must be more educated, and that is another problem I come across. Therefor if someone is trying to debunk me, I will be more critical at pointing out rather why its sophism, and why it should be avoided. And I will do this as well for Leo, or anyone, if I see sophism, for the sake of education. I would ask nicely, that those who get a decent argument thrown at them, learn from it. Get along, harmonize, learn. I would ask nicely, that those who do not have a decent argument or are not be willing to put one when asked, just shut your mouth, and sit with it. Go watch some video's of Leo, or read some of the teachings I posted here. I really would like to see a reply from Leo, how he looks at the points I make here, as he is the administrator. And really would like to hear your thoughts about this article. (Remember, again, don't attack me, for theres no me, or a Leo, just learn to focus on my points that I make and come with arguments that are in line with the subject presented). (I posted it in the same forum, for practical reasons)

@Leo Gura I think I better should have used the word discussion. Debate is very loaded in this language as I look it up. It is in our country somewhat different, can also be philosophically proper discussion to present arguments so that the listener or reader can benefit from it. Yes, we call that here a discussion, and formally we call this here a debate, where it can also mean, that it can be pointed especially for the listener or reader. This seems, when I look it up in English somewhat different. Much more loaded with the term politics.

Yes Mormon, and there will be a result. Everything=intelligence... This is so crucial to understand. Its better to see this whole website as an energy field, Awareness as its Supreme, surely everything one puts in, gives a result, it builds, it attracts people from far around the world, while there is not trace in how they find this website. They themselves don't always know it. Everything here on this website, is just an energy field, that builds when people send messages. People download it as they put their attention to it and start to join and harmonize. This causes movements, and this will lead to results. So yes, I do am aware, that what I put here in as messages, will lead to results.

Dear Jse, You miss again the point, Jse. So I will again explain it to you. The dhammapada, is well studied by me, and its examples are good to share. I live up to those examples, secluded from unwholesome deeds, sense indulgence, concentrated on Awareness and I am awakened to my true duty in accordance with my True Self. However, you seem to miss the point again. Your aim should not be me, but the subject that is presented. If you find it misinformation, support this with decent evidence. Refer to what is pseudo-wisdom in what I shared here as teachings. If someone lives up to it, and shares examples that enlighten the way, then surely this is wise to do. For those who follow it up, and look into it, surely, this is wise to do as well. However, if you do not come up with decent arguments, surely any intelligent being reading this, will surely understand that what you say is hollow, your own misunderstanding that is situated in either your own passions or ignorance. And should read the Dhammapada yourself and put it into action. I do not see a single article coming from you, that actually challenges what I shared here as teachings. There for I conclude because of not taking a stand to actually debunk it with decent arguments, your post as being filled with ramblings and pseudo-wisdom, egotism and can be there for classified as foolish, per swaying people to agree on things that lack evidence and has therefor nothing to do with wisdom, being intelligent and being situated in the fruit of wholesomeness. If you disagree, and are not willing to put any evidence in what is wrong with what I am teaching here, and why it should be otherwise, and how it should be otherwise, then surely if you can't keep your mouth shut, sit still, putting your attention on yourself and being concentrated on Awareness, and instead just keep mumbling around here in this forum referring to me how I am situated in spiritual egotism, you clearly miss your aim, and are yourself trying to astray by your pseudo-wisdom. For you can also just not read what I write, put me on ignore, and leave it at rest. But you do not do this, you come to me, again and again. How can that be of a good intent? Surely you didn't miss that.

@WaveInTheOcean @kurt @WelcometoReality You are on your way becoming the way WaveInTheOcean, well done! For all readers: All teachings people follow, should always be contemplated by questioning the following: Does it contemplate my suffering? Or gives it something that I can run harder away from what seems to hurt me (resistance)? Has the teaching an eightfold path that contemplates the purification of desires? Please do not attack the teacher, but test out his given words and techniques, and judge upon: Did it led to insight, or did it not? Led it to get into the eye of the storm, which is uncomfortable, confronting but led to relief afterwards? If it did not work after hard work, then take the insight that this did not lead to the end of your suffering, and move on, without hurting anyone. A nice rule to apply: if someone is wiser, demonstrates it all the time, remain in touch, work hard in learning from him. IF someone is equally wise, work together to defeat the grip of thirst. If someone is clearly less wise then yourself, leave it be until you are far enough to guide from your heart. To copy ones work people, is perfectly fine. However, live up to it, if not spoken from a state of living up to it, can be compared to a beautiful flower that just fails to smell like one. I too have criticized his view on enlightenment, and have corrected him many times until drops the concept. I am sure, absolutely certain, that by these corrections and made corrections who also are hard on their way, he awakened to the point of being in discomfort. Realizing that he became wary of his ideas of enlightenment. He knows inside himself that this all what he does will tire out. However, I did not miss his good work either. He has been willing to bring people together, even though his guiding towards enlightenment rests on a psychedelic experience trip, and a day to day life to repeat this experience just this time without the psychedelics that therefor makes it self evident what is in accordance with that memory and what not (discerning right from wrong, thinking memory of a certain event is permanent), which of course rests of a wrong view (mushrooms and or psychedelics taking again as a remembrance, making it the guru is chasing ones own tail). Those wise and intelligent, apply the law of allowance, correct wrong views, just as one would correct other peoples views, from kindness, love, a compassionated mind. These corrections are for the better, and are actually happening as a result of his hard work to bring people together, together with those who accumulated wholesome deeds and can also join and learn from it. I see, and have seen in that comments change. People are backing off from the wrong ideas about enlightenment more and more due to the corrections that are made by practitioners who are more educated in Dharma then them. However, Leo's reputation is in the game and the realization of the corrections cannot be undone. There for, well done Leo, you have attained the vision of Dharma, that can't be undone. You have heard the Dharma from someone who is educated, otherwise you don't become this wary. This, cannot be undone. Therefor, you can mark my words, when one is awakened to the vision of Dharma, one will cycle, based on the idea that one is Awareness (hide and seek gameplay by upset), justifying ones doing and not doing, until this tires out completely, and becomes a non-returner. Where one will defend going back to the worldly activities as he used to. From here on, one will be warn out as well, and one day, one day one will become a teacher, teacher without being a teacher, preaching the Dharma from the seat of ones heart, completely rooted in self. Surely for his own advancement sake, he should indeed recognize those who truly know something about enlightenment, correct his own views, and apply them correctly as a teaching while practicing himself. Surely being rooted in Dharma, and having a community focused on self-improvement brings great happiness. I will again correct Leo out of compassion, to explain what self-actualized actually truly is about, and what it means so that it becomes clear for everyone. Leo could also refrain from enlightenment ideas, teach self improvement as spirituality classes, that is preparation for deeper lessons as a guidance towards enlightenment. Oh, and its not that shamanic practices did not use any drugs of any kind, however this can provoke, and can be labeled as a spiritual lesson, it should not be mengled with the fact that it is about enlightenment. I debunk it when it comes to Leo, because I don't see that he has truly had an education in being a shaman that could guide others even if it is about spirituality and not the full path to enlightenment. I say that the both the first stage or layer, and the second stage, that lead to the third stage, should well be established within this site forum. Fase one: Improvement, getting what you want in all aspects and being helped to realize this, is the first layer (here you reside in Leo, and can and should teach in, because you are knowledgable about a wide range of topics when it comes to such improvements and could benefit many). The second phase, are the Dharma teachings, getting into the eye of the storm, getting rid of ignorance, being with all that hurts, no longer running no more trying to escape from yourself. (First people must get through the first step, and realize that they are still running if they try getting what they want). The last will be the result of the first too which is what the term self-actualized actually is about, being completely rooted in self, with a concentration on Awareness. This one can be compared with a solid big rock, that will not be taken by a big storm. He is completely free of mind. Which means that one is like a lotus leaf held in water, it remains untouched. He is one with Duty, that is in alliance with his True self, being one with True self, being free of any doubt. Rather he is a warrior, or a spiritual teacher, this one, is solid, in accordance with Awareness, this is what we call: Self-Actualized.

@Evilwave Heddy Well, about the horizon, is actually one of the strongest arguments. See, the curvature, must be on all places of the earth the same, if its a sphere. It means that the distance (I am sure you already know this) where the curvature should be present on all places on the earth, is exact, due to the size of the sphere and being a sphere. But, if you have a horizon, and a ship, and you see it disappear, it would appeal to the mind, that it might be true, its a sphere. However, I should then not be able to zoom in with a camera on that big distance where the curvature mathematically must occur, seeing the ship again, with another place set for the horizon, leaving no curvature at all. I tested this, as I live near the sea, on a high spot on a clear day, with a ship. And its absolutely true, where the curvature must be, there is no curvature! Well this blew my mind completely. This however is no evidence for others, so I would promote them to experiment with this themselves, look up the mathematical that revolves around the curvature, set the distance, and spot an object where the curvature must be mathematical there, and zoom in (if your camera is powerful enough). It will challenge old belief systems for sure. And another point, in non of those video's that are taken, even though flat as a pancake, you don't see the earth spin. That also is remarkable.

Dear WaveInTheOcean, I disagree on this one, with good reasons that I will present. I would like to use your example of the raper and the victim. Would you not say that any of them could have their own view, but would you not say, that due to ignorance their views are not right, leading them to remain suffering? The raper does have wrong views, and if the victim was drinking partying in the name of fun, surely has also a wrong view. I am sure Waveintheocean, you will not say that the raper can also live up to his "Right" view, or that it was not about his view that led him to such situations, has nothing to do with it, and is no better then any other view others might have that are free from attachment to their desires. I say: There is a right view, and a wrong view, based on the fact that All views, no matter which view one has, ultimately can be said about them: They still suffer. Some views are in accordance with this, and others are not. (The view is therefor in itself not wrong, its wrong by its results that are either in or not in accordance with the law of impermanence, that proof the view being right or wrong). I say, that all wrong views, are based on the fact that ones self is different from others. To clarify this: Awareness+Body = Enlightenment. There for: Those not enlightened, are Craving. This craving = Attachment to desire, being thirsty. You don't differ by the fact that you are Awareness. You don't differ in having no body. You don't differ in the way being attached to desire. The only difference is, are you attached or not. I say there for that the right view is: Previous situations has led to this one, and this one leads to others. We are there for the result of our thinking, heirs of our deeds, the outcome of our deeds. There for, There are just 2 basis for views. A view based on that one differs from one another (thinking that ones attachment differs from others), and a view based on that this is an illusion due to temporary nature of everything. Right and wrong views, are true wrong view, due to the misunderstanding that they differ based on a sense of self, that ultimately is the illusion. And this illusion does not differ in any person. The view that we are the result of our thinking, heirs of our thinking, the accumulation of our thinking, is therefor a true right view, in accordance with the true nature of everything, seeing that there are people attached, and people free from attachment, but non of them are therefor separated from one another. Surely living up to this view one stops raping ones self, and becoming the victim of it as a result. Surely you didn't mean that.

This meditation is an extension to the nutshell + in depth teachings of enlightenment that can be found here: This meditation technique, is that of the middle path. Introduction: I write this technique down, to close the gap between eastern and western. In india observing the breath comes much more naturally then here, because they are rooted in thinking that there is rebirth. This thinking, is not to worry to much, I put effort in it, somewhere there will be a result, and they learned to deal with the side effects. Here in western countries, we think in personhood, and want to philosophy accordingly, applying logic, willing to calculate a result even before we are started. There for I write now this technique down, that converts it, so you may practice it properly as well. Preparation. 1. Sit in a comfortable position with your back straight. *2. Observe your breath. And register it, long, short etc. 3. When getting deeper, and more drowsy, mental shapes, have the tendency to move outward, the source to reach is your environment (is not to be reached). 4. Open your eyes and have the tendency to push yourself in. The source to reach is now within. 5. Close your eyes again, and realize that the only thing that is the middle and is straight, is your breath (your breathing happened with eyes open and eyes closed). The preferred state, is the clear state, that is as if you just sit with your eyes closed, and just sitting so, breathing. Being as close to the surface as possible. Repeat the preparation, until its clear that the middle is your breathing, and the only thing straight, is therefor the breath. The pushing outwards, as if the source is outside of you when meditating, is the attempt to get to the fresh state, as if you just sit with eyes closed. That is the preferred state. Do this easily, until keeping it steady in the middle, fully pointed in concentration. The mind will struggle, yes, just easy bringing your attention back on the observation of breathing. IF its to much, no worries, just more repetition of the preparations. Just taste, and start preferring to work with seclusion like this, and you will succeed. Keep in mind, that Awareness + body= Enlightenment. Or, that which does not leave you to just sit and breath, is disease of the mind. Just bring your attention back on your breathing observation, and push outwardly gently. Don't control (or do by upset, and see that it does not work out well), just manage, influence. Now meditate. And surely, if done right, you will more and more seem to seclude from the body while not being separated from the body, until this snaps, you realized that Awareness, the all pervasive one, is the one that governs, is without defilements, and without it, the body is like a rotten piece of wood. Your thinking leads to form the brain, and no longer the other way round. What must be done, is done. From here on knowledge builds about the law of action and result related to many phenomenon and how they can cease to exist by practicing in seclusion from unwholesome behavior. * How to observe your breath? If this is not working for you, and you are puzzled, no worries. Apply the following: Let your observation of the breath be a side effect by bringing your attention to your physical heart. Hear it, feel it, register anything, and keep the speed of the heart measured by your breath. Now, after some practice, observing the breath will become absolutely natural. What if this is still difficult? Make your full meditation be based on the heart. When observing, and remaining stationed on it, due to that many sentient beings have hearts, you might see images of this, and that makes you compassionate, because all hearts stop to beat one day. And walk through the states as you go, which there are 16. I am not going to name them, but after the 13th you won't be able to count them further, sound ceases to be, and absolute freedom of enmity happens within you, that leads to the profound realization that there is a save harbor. During the change of states, just be registering your next stage as the next stage. It changes, and settles, and that is your count. Surely the meditation just observing the breath and registering, will now be a peace of cake. The wise are like a deep ocean

Youre right, I saw it later and realized it, but couldn't change the past no more.

@Consept Stop Masturbating, Even Possible? It is very possible, as I am not entangled in it. It ends when the attachment to desire (the craving) ends. If you want to reach out to truly attempt attaining awareness and live up to it like I do, you must drop it, and happens naturally when following the right discipline, to skillfully get rid of lust, surely the tension, the burning stops, and bliss remains. But I want to make a clear distinction here. The masturbation is not what truly does the harm, it is the wrong conclusions, the wrong thinking, the not skillfully remove lust that truly is wrong, unwholesome. If you want to get rid of masturbation, one must be skillfully doing it, or leave it alone, and live your life with doing it. The real problem is, due to that people remain lustful, they remain bewildered, also about willing to remove it, live in doubt with it. There for I conclude that it is not the masturbation that is the problem, but being attached to desires, the craving, being lustful, is the true problem. To wrap it up: Masturbation can only be happening, if one beLIEf to be someone. If there is just body, and Awareness, there is no sense of self, and thus no craving. However, its not the masturbation that must be cut off, its the craving that must end, the attachment to desires, the lust. If you are however interested in truly skillfully put it to an end, then end the attachment to desire (which is difficult to do). If one stops eating to much, goes back to once a day, in the morning, drinks often distilled water (or tea), and ends his sleep problems, lust is dropping like a rock thrown in a lake and attains much energy. Then the refraining from unwholesome deeds, such as wrong view, intentions, speech, act, effort, livelihood, attention and concentration, and focuses on Awareness and does not mind worldly activities, surely the attachment to desire will naturally come to its end, due to all things in nature are temporary. Stoping with masturbation, just refraining from it, without skillfully spiritual practice, is just unintelligent, foolish, hurtful. Its better to be doing it everyday, then just stopping it forcefully. It leads often just to aggression.

He means to say: no matter where I go, no matter where I sit, no mater where I look, there is not a single spot to be found that is free, that has not yet already been occupied.
