Most powerful meditation method i found

[NoSelfSelf]

Concentrate on the space where thoughts arises, if you see close enough you will found something like an invicable wall where thoughts arises, now really concertate on that wall and even be that wall,stay there the whole duration of your meditation...let me know if this works well like it worked for me...i could say this could make you enlightened the fastest way imo...

Amazing! Will try this! 

Another I came up with just now is;

“Where are you experiencing?”

Not the same as where are you located... this ones a bit different, it really quiets the mind for me.

What is concentrating? What wants to become?

If you take this to the deepest level, you will observe that the space where all thought arises in your heart. I always choose to focus my creative power onto what I want to become, and in the heart I feel this beautiful unconditional love, and this makes it the obvious place to always be centred for me. 

@Outer I love Ramana Maharshi. Did you know that he was a unique teacher in this world. He taught us to always focus upon our hearts. He also woke up when he was 16 which might be the youngest in history.

@Outer I heard that as well. But he was in a state of total bliss for that period, and there was no desire to do anything arising in him but to just be. And when desire arose he got up and left. This is surrender. Something almost alien to my own mind.

Very nice.

I’ve used a variation of this. During meditation, a thought may arise that I engage with. For example, the thought “I need to pay my credit card bill”. I may engage with the thought and get immersed into thinking - when is the payment due. How much would the late fee be? And on and on. I can get engaged with any thought. Yet, other times, I’m aware of the thought arising and let it pass. I became fascinated by the question “at what point do I get engaged with a thought proces?” I got really curious and started waiting for a thought. And when a thought arose, I watched if the mind became engaged”. I looked for the “switch” between letting a thought go and engagement. It was as if I was observing with a microscope. Or, how a cat waits for a mouse to appear out of a cabinet. Waiting for the next thought, then what happens? 

When I waited and wanted to observe thoughts, I found out the thoughts became fewer and I became engaged much less often.

Can you please elaborate it?

@invinciblelight We usually say ”I am experiencing”. Without focusing on anything in particular, try to find where this experience is taking place. Is it a point? Or is it everywhere? Its supposed to be a bit Koan-like, get yourself to quiet down and look.

@Nahm Have you achieved enlightenment? Just curious!

@Tistepiste What do you mean? Did I not just reveal the secret of the pinky toe?

@Serotoninluv  I noticed the exact same trend during meditation - as you closely observe where the thought is coming from and whether you will get attached to it, there is a sudden stillness in the mind.
