Why does it wear off, and how can I keep it?

[Empty]

I experience my true nature whenever I sit to meditate, but it goes away 

 

what is the solution???

@Empty It doesn’t go away. This is what you’re doing. You’re still that. This is your true nature, whatever you’re doing.  If you mean the thoughtless state, try eye’s aiming upward towards the frontal lobes during your practice. Don’t strain, it takes the muscles a long time to relax into this in a natural way. Then, you can close your eyes and do that at any point in the day, and also (eyes still open) focus your awareness there.

What is this ‘it’ you speak of ? 

And who is the one who wants to keep it ? 

 

If there is a division there is contradiction. If there is contradiction what is this “it”? 

 

This is a Great question. 

What I would say is instead of searching for a solution, figure out the problem. If the problem is seen in its entirety the solution will be implied in its entirety. 

 The rest is up to you?

@Empty Good question man. I think it comes down to trying to be mindfull in your daily activities. I think what prevents me from being mindfull in day-to-day life are the addictions I have which send me into low consciousness states of being.

Same here. At one time,  I am wide awake, and then I go back to my low-level of consciousness.

Is this “IT” a movement of thought? 

If so would that be a reason it comes and goes? 

[Empty]

@Faceless I am using "IT" here to describe my true nature. The reason it comes and goes, I think, is because of my ego.

@Empty Humans can’t think and focus on breathing from their stomachs at the same time, that might be the simple solution you’re looking for. 24/7 mindfully breathing from your stomach. Lots of subtle health benefits to the body too.

How do we know the ego/thought isnt creating this true nature?

These are helpful questions that I one might want to be aware of. 

Im not saying you are not experiencing your true nature, just bringing to attention the power of ego. We both know the ego is a trickster. I think always being aware of this is beneficial

If the ego has the power to prevent what is from being seen, so does it have the power to create what isn’t? 

This is just a way to self inquire. Only this will be much more orderly if one has detached from a desired outcome/goal. 

Maybe this will be of service to you??

Yeah for sure. I use stomach breathing for health issues and it really helps in multiple ways?

especially lower back pain and stomach problems.

Learn to focus on breath all times while you connect with your earth.

The solution is to empty the separate ego mind just enough for it to keep working but not to overshadow your natural peace. It's a destruction process.
