"Know yourself to be the changeless witness of the changeful mind. That is enough."

@Tony 845 Pray for a teacher. Gather your longing and bathe in it.

@ajasatya @Michael569 You are right. I scheduled a visit with a physician. For now I also started doing some stretches for pelvis particularly and stopped sitting in lotus. I think the latter helped a lot.

My hip has been kind of off for some time now. It is becoming more and more painful and I can't really keep putting it of. There is something wrong with the joint, I suspect. I for sure want to visit a physician about this, but I am thinking... would it be possible to heal this just with the power of the mind? I mean, it must have started in the mind somehow, right? Anyone has experiences with healing themselves like this?

not that I read these, but according to David Hawkin's calibrations, these are the highest consciousness books: ~http://www.ccrtblog.com/full-list/?v=928568b84963 What is the lesson here, guys? Read the scriptures

not possible if you are planning to be absorbed in total non-duality for months at a time

How do I know, that I know? I don't know.

I actually know someone who did it, but she was already self-realized when she undertook this. She lived in an old barn for three years and her husband was taking care of her needs all that time. In these three years, she apparently never left the barn and was solely focused on purification.

Chogyam Trungpa's wise words.

Shamanism meets Advaita:

time off / unbound play / relaxation / fun

You basically need someone who will take care of you. Someone who will cook for you and bring you food. Someone you can trust, who will not abandon you half way through your practice. Someone totally devoted to the cause of you becoming awake as fuck.

Actually I randomly stumbled on this video when I was tripping on LSD some time ago. Good times

As simple as it gets ...a little harsher Mooji

@Tony 845 The one you are willing to stick to

"Riding the Ox Home The struggle is over! The very subtle mind is continuously present and harmoniously co-exists with the master. A dual-union between both is in place, making the master joyful, artistic, spontaneous and the best of teachers. At the end of his day of work, the Ox rides the master home. The whip is never used." ~Ten Ox-Herding Images, Wim Van Den Dungen

@Eric Tarpall I think you will like this:

I must tell you, dear reader, it's hard as fuck. My old way of living doesn't work. It's outdated. And the next update is nowhere to be seen. Anything that I used to do, I start doing and find it's fake. I am a big-ass faker, that's what I am! My entire personality is built on insecurities. All I do is fulfill some sort of fake agenda. What the fuck...

It's hard to admit, but the evidence is just unshakable. There is no enlightenment coming. There is no need to seek more techniques other than just being like this. I don't need any more teachings to reach the absolute. There is no more absolute than this. Oh... it's hard to admit, but there is nothing to find. I bet it all on the journey in, and it turns out to be empty. Well, nothing there, that's a fact. World is waiting, I must come back. It's time to forget the spiritual quest, and simply live my life to the very best.

Wow, that's great

Now consider that all of this is projection of your own shadow. All of this are really your own issues. Read your own post as if you are describing yourself. Hm?

Hi again, everyone! So I created a basic prototype of my game in Python. It is a text based game, but I would like to add some graphics to it. It will stay purely text based, but I would like to make it kind of comic styled... kind of like this. Anyone knows what plugin or tool I could use to easily add images to my Python game and make my text appear on top of that?

@ShugendoRa Basically contemplation, right? Very effective. A lot of my awakening experiences came from this.
