Ether

Yes, this is correct. We have no control about our thoughts. Recently in meditation, I just do whathever my body\mind wants to do and the result is more stillness.

Hey man, today im kinda out of thought, so im having a lot of laughs. Thanks for the laugh

Meditate and in the end if you have stillness...you will see reality.

Well, if you awaken, you will find best\worst dont exist.

Who says that people that awakened cant have a sense of humour?

"My mind is infested with sick thoughts that circle Like a Lexus, if driven wrong it's sure to hurt you Dual level like duplexes, in unity My crew and me commit atrocities like we got immunity You guessed it, manifest it In tangible goods, platinum Rolex'd it We don't lease, we buy the whole car, as you should My confederation, dead a nation Explode on detonation, overload the mind of a said patient When it boils to steam, it comes to it We all fiends, gotta do it: even righteous minds go through this True this, the streets school us to spend our money foolish Bond with jewelers and watch for intruders I stepped it up another level, meditated like a Buddhist" -Jay-z

if so, go ahead

@Shin You can read enlightenment books all your life and not be liberated. You need experience to awaken...

@Prabhaker So, Buddha spent a lot of time in that tree? So, he must have lived in that location for a lot of time?

I would like to meditate on it

@Prabhaker I loved that. Thank you.

@Deep If you read what I said, maybe youd understand

Lol, funny you replied to me. I just read your life\enlightenment story, a few seconds ago. What is a Bodhi tree? Did he meditate in the same tree everytime? For some reason, Im extremely inspired by Buddha's life story. Its just so exciting!!!

I agree with the first two

@Preety_India Yeah, i went to look for evidence and there is a tree with his face haha

@Shanmugam u indian ay? did u meditated in the same tree as buddha?

?

@Deep Nobody cant EVER. EVER. Prove they are enlightened. why? Because, we cant go inside another one's mind and see if they are thinking or not. We cant go into their body and see if they feeling lasting happiness, peace, fulfileness, completion, wholeness. Even if you got the truest teachings ever, that still doesnt mean you awakened because you cant do those two things.

Does the tree still exist? lol

Yo, please dont jump off a building. You might find out that reality is not a dream

damn, thats all i ever wanted i literally have no early childhook memories all i can remember is playing on the snow but i dont attach any feelings to it, i dont even know if that thought is true or a false memory. but...one day at the time

for some reason i havent been receiving notifcations? Right now, at this present moment, i almost have no thoughts. I meditated for a bit in a park and thought activity decreased 90%. So, how is it to live life like that? Non-stop happiness and joy? Thats my expectations but i know that I dont know how its like. I rarely felt happy in my whole life. But hey, each day is a new day. Everyday is unique.

im saying only yourself with thoughts can affect yourself. we dont control thoughts, we dont know why they go crazy

yuh

@Shanmugam i enjoyed that. have u reached it...? the end...of suffering?
