  1. Here’s a good question for contemplation: to what extent are my morals MY morals.
  2. Stay on the path. I was like you 1 year ago. Enlightenment — especially the seeking phase is a long, arduous process. But it’s worth it. The most important thing in this work is to keep doing it. You just keep on keeping on no matter what. What you work on is what you improve.
  3. It’s funny how things look from the perspective of Brahman versus the perspective of Maya. It’s like the difference between night and day. But both night and day are here, part of reality. But Day is so different from night and vice versa. It’s like the difference between being awake and dreaming.
  4. How much experience do you have with Enlightenment work?
  5. A nihilist is still clinging to belief. When you reach the state of Brahman nihilism doesn’t make sense.
  6. The Forum is a great place for people to grasp around until they realize that it’s all right here. It’s always all just been right here. It’s like an anti-training academy. It’s going from Maya to Brahman.
  7. The Mind is a thought story. It’s a useful fiction.
  8. You won’t lose your morality. It will just no longer be YOUR morality. Enlightenment is not about changing yourself. It’s about detaching from a concept that says all of those bits of reality are MINE. You’ll go Meta and just be mindful of reality instead of believing that reality means anything about a separate sense of self.
  9. You all know my style and what I like. Which Enlightenment Guru do you think I would resonate with best? I'm talking about the famous ones.
  10. Great insight. Video on point to watch:
  11. I think he should leave it. I like that it gets a rise out of people. Examine those emotions and why you are attaching to them.
