It is ruining my life and whats worst is it is a burden for everyone around me. My mum and dad, sisters,brothers, friends...

Yes I find that is true. I now need smaller amounts of suffering to start the process of looking to see what I am attached to than I previously did.

Are you referring to the unloosable knowledge inherent in the realisation/experience. Such knowledge is always present thereafter but takes no form or shape as such. What knowledge are you talking about? The knowledge that the idea of separation is NOT true? The knowledge that the person is NOT a v...

If a consciousness goes into hell it is because that consciousness loves that condition of hell. To that consciousness it is heaven. To another it would be an intolerable hell. It has been said we all gravitate to the heaven that suits our vibration most. And there are 7 heavens to select from...a t...

an experience of it that an apparent person has, and so it has a beginning and an end Yes, unless and until it is abiding, after which it is not an experience with an 'end.' Andy What I'm suggesting is that an experience is not a realization, abiding or otherwise. A realization cannot end because, ...

Are you asking about Karma, Natalia? This is the effect that the unhappy self has on the circumstances of our life. If this is eliminated then the circumstances of life become more easy. I see this happening in my life and that is why I point to being free of negativity as a way of living. It has an...

Right. That is a good simple way of putting it. Thanks

I am doing fine and I am sure you are too.

I don't buy it. Warning; Totally abstract post to follow It seems to me to be an intellectual realisation unless it is realised new every moment. The Truth isn't static and can't be remembered, it has to be registered every moment as the absence of "I". This implies that there is something(really a ...

What's the problem? Grasping subject and object is absolutely essential. You are the subject and whatever you are looking at is the object. That gets really interesting when the awareness comes back inside the body. Everything in here is an object, I never get to find out what I am! It is a wonderfu...

Mind is not the enemy and does not need that big active verb "mastering" to happen to it. The mind does not disappear, not does it need mastering. What is needed is for the mind to be seen for what it is "a bundle of thoughts which have their root in the 'I-thought.'" (Ramana Maharshi, "Talks..." 2...

This is my suggestion because Freedom is freedom from negativity, freedom from the negative content of my self. Freedom is the freedom from all such dualistic polarities, including "good". I have discovered a good without an opposite. What propels/motivates you to be the truth? Surely it must be go...

You seem in this post to have a big focus on the negativity. Now what about the good in your life. See the good around you. Do you get free board? Meals cooked? It is Intelligent to acknowledge it. There is good in your body now. Ignore the self and Self, and find the good within, acknowledge that. ...

Why not switch off the T.V. and enjoy what Is. Are the programs that good? There is a different channel than The Mind for the awareness to tune into and that is ..."The Sensation Channel :D" ..AS Reported by the SENSES and INNER SENSE of the BODY! Welcome. " Everything projected is a reflection of ....

Who masters the mind? Andy There are 'fingerprints' embedded in Consciousness/God. Not separate yet unique. Apparently we all have unique physical fingerprints (that is the symbol). It is our unique Self Consciousness or Self Knowledge that masters the mind. Motion in the mind stops because the ind...
