Only thing you can do is to stop thinking. suppose i give you a method. you will persue according to method.the method is stored in mind.Once it becomes silent you will think what the method was and thus and enless loop. any method that will stop you to think like om chanting in mind will do it. but concentrate not on om but you. 2 2.1 ofcourse, 2 .2 my neighbours thaught i was sleeping. but when i opened my eyes it was like "what is this shit"" ah that is light" and what is this "ah it is window" where i am sitting. it is like your mind starts to recognize again. you feel great but you know what blunder it has created in your life. 3 you don't feel like doing anything. you know this is all minds game and has no meaning. You will die oneday. dont beleive my words.trust yours. Thank you @likhil Now I see... What about local support in your area? Is there a place you can go? A teacher, a guru? This will serve you more in your situation than talking about it in detail on a forum. I hope you can handle the situation with your mother, so you can meditate freely at your own pace. Or move some place where you will connect to people who are likeminded. Kind regards, Chris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 11, 2016 @likhil Leo speaks about Meditation vs Self Inquiry or, "looking". In his words, meditation is a very slow and indirect way of pursuing enlightenment. Go rewatch his "How to become enlightened" video. "It's better to light a candle than curse the darkness" Presence. Acceptance. Purpose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't do meditation all the time. Therefore I pretend to be sleeping most of the day while I do meditation. Sometimes (in reality most of the time) I get fall asleep and this is such a waste of time. what have you gotten from spending all that time in meditation besides sleep Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
