I feel like letting go is the only thing you need

[RightHand]

I don't see the point of meditation and self inquiry when you have such a powerful tool. 

I mean, at a certain point you will even drop your identity and desire to be alive, that seems like a more powerful state than what meditation and yoga would ever get you. 

I wanna hear some thoughts about that, maybe it's just my ego deluding me haha

you are starting getting it.

but absolute letting go, needs knowledge, otherwise you'll think it's an added tool. Another thought, nothing absolute.

you think a rock is solid, and letting go is the only way, a truth to embody as real as you believe in a rock to be solid.

inquiry on why there is envy or need in the body, what is a human ? what are you ?

 find the source of all feelings and thoughts by active inquiry,

don't stop until you can feel it into your bones

Letting go is a form of meditation too, on reflection I only call it 'meditation' because I do it in a certain routine way. But I think it's useful to have other techniques depending on how things are going. If we monitor our progress we can tweak and adjust our practice to keep it relevant.

Yes I do think that theory is very important, but at the same time the next (ultimate?) paradigm is to let go of all of that. It's almost like you go full circle, that's why I find it very easy for me to mistaken apathy for enlightenment, like both are the same note but with different frequencies.

• That's the side I hate about self help, having an arsenal of techniques and making it a chore to apply them daily. Like my first year of meditation was the heaviest thing I had to do, maybe it made me more receptive to that new letting go paradigm, but I think that not taking the spiritual work seriously but still doing it is the best way to go, by trying so hard to get "enlightened" we make things more difficult in my opinion 

But again, maybe I'm just deluded lol

I think meditation is a form of letting go, might be dangerous to rationalize that as a means to stop meditating
