Help, enlightenment advice needed.

8 posts in this topic

Last year I experienced no-self after three long years of contemplation exercises. I realized I wasn't ready and in the right mindset for this massive shift yet, until I got more of my life together. I now am ready, and am currently doing all of the contemplation exercises, however need some help getting that traction. Anyone have any contemplation exercises or thought experiments to share with me to hopefully help me make that leap?

If you lay absolutely still for an hour or two, you'll dissociate 

Works best in silent darkness after 5 or 6 hours of sleep

Basis of lucid dreaming / astral projection


No space, no time, nothing but you/this/here/now

I lived in darkness and silence for 3 months. And it worked for me.

Contemplate about needing certainty about what you are. Where is this need stemming from?

What contemplation exercises are you reffering to? The ones on this forum Leo posted long time ago? They suck, he probably doesn't even recommend them himself anymore. Contemplation isnt how you reach enlightenment anyway. No-self isn't enlightenment either. Lots of stuff to learn it seems like.

Try Float device, where your in a chamber, floating on body temp water and epsom salts, total darkness and silence for the most part, that will get You in the mood anyways...

Try watching this while laying still. 

 


You are a selfless LACK OF APPEARANCE, that CONSTRUCTS AN APPEARANCE. But that appearance can disappear and reappear and we call that change, we call it time, we call it space, we call it distance, we call distinctness, we call it other. But notice...this appearance, is a SELF. A SELF IS A CONSTRUCTION!!! 

So if you want to know the TRUTH OF THE CONSTRUCTION. Just deconstruct the construction!!!! No point in playing these mind games!!! No point in creating needless complexity!!! The truth of what you are is a BLANK!!!! A selfless awareness....then that means there is NO OTHER, and everything you have ever perceived was JUST AN APPEARANCE, A MIRAGE, AN ILLUSION, IMAGINARY. 

Everything that appears....appears out of a lack of appearance/void/no-thing, non-sense (can't be sensed because there is nothing to sense). That is what you are, and what arises...is made of that. So nonexistence, arises/creates existence. And thus everything is solved.
