Re: How can I decide whether to get married or not?
I don't know much about getting married and such things, but I do know that whatever you do, you cannot do it wrong.

Re: Control and Delusion....
Care to expound? The ego believes that if it had the the means for abolute control over life, namely the law of attraction, it would also have the means to achieve absolute happiness, as it equates happiness with getting what it wants. The ego doesn't understand that getting what we want doesn't ma...

Re: The Now
Beautiful reminder...

That is grace. It is something that happens beyond the mind and despite the mind. Fortunately its seems to be available for those who are open to itThe borders begin to dissolve between 'us' and the rest of life

Re: The biggest missing part in Tolle's teachings
There is probably a great benefit to those indirect paths like practicing daily meditation, developing generosity or trying to live a moral live. After three month for some, or 30 years for others, one may arrive at a point where it is seen that all those practices lead to nowhere and have been a to...

Re: The uselessness of attachments
Giving the world and everyone in it the freedom to be exactly as they are is one of the greatest gifts one can present to the world. In a society where almost everyone is constantly trying to impress their self-image upon the world, meeting someone who has let go is a real blessing. Thank you for yo...

Re: The Nature of the Mind: Where is the Free Will?
And in an Absolute sense, there is no free will. Everything is deterministic. While it maybe true that there is no induviduum to have free will, the conclusion that everything is predetermined is not so easy to draw. Predetermination is a very humane concept. It says that every state in the future ...

Re: Getting used to something
As such, no matter how profound the experience, once it has ceased to change, it is no longer experienced and remains only as a comparative memory repeatedly activated, which itself tends to cease. Once all such movement has ceased, one finds oneself precisely where they were before the movement be...

Re: This one fear sticks
Thing is, I don't really know what or who I am anymore, like I said, this recognition of no-self has been nothing like Eckhart described it in any way shape or form. Some people would say this is a great place to be, I'm not sure anymore. The bottom just seemed to fall out of life for a while. I gu...

Re: Why absolute Monism (Nonduliasm) is impossible
Hey Severin You say How are we supposed to 'return' to the Subject, when we objectify everything? Come to think of it, in order to completely 'become one' with the Subject alone, you basically have to stop existing, at least for a moment. I think there is a basic misunderstanding. We are the subject...

Re: All we need is love.
Great post, Cherrywood - I love when it gets real :mrgreen: yeah, challenging posts are great! If you believe that spirituality is about 'not thinking' and 'destroying the ego', then of course you would become pessimistic. They're both not only impossible, but ridiculous. I see it all as much much ...

Re: What Am I - What Are You?
The discussion comes down to the question, 'what is the point of inquiery', does it not? If inquiery induces an radically honest, deep and relentless looking for the truth until it is known beyond all concepts, does the syntax and semantic matter? While some types of inquieries may (conceptually) po...

Re: BARRY LONG
There is good reason to say you do not exist. To say you are not ego or you are not the false self or you are not thoughts or you are not story is accurate, but, at least in my experience, is not compelling enough. People usually agree with that without looking. "You do not exist" is compelling. Th...
