My view is, if I cannot kill the animal myself then why should I get someone else to do my dirty work?

That which is feeling humiliated is not you.

. If meditation is not for you, then so be it.

What isn't without risk in this reality?

Did the intense grief lead to a massive surrender on your part, a giving up or a big letting go of the world?

when you say you are drug free. Did drugs set off the kundalini and now you don't take them?

I love you, but I have to take care of me. I let go of you.

Watching Awareness. Awareness of Awareness. What pointers can you give me when meditating on watching awareness?

When it comes to meditation, I hear people say you need to stay grounded. But what does being grounded mean? Does it mean being grounded in the 5 senses? And if this is the case what of the highest meditation that dictates one should go beyond the senses?

Appreciate all your replies, all have been helpful.

I seem to be sleeping sometimes 12 hours. I also practice a lot of meditation. But then people say they only need 4 hours and advanced mediatators only needing the same has me wondering.

Ahh thank you for this pointer.

This has puzzled me too. To completely surrender to 'what is', but then want something else that is not here now. But that thing that is wanted, is it coming from past conditioning of the mind. And if it is entertained and chased after, is the being being led back to bondage?

I like this

Can anyone explain cutting the cords here for the benefit for all? Or point me in the right direction?

Astral dynamics seems pretty popular

Would you do the same as you do, if you didn't think?

But how do we know what is evil? We must judge something that it is evil. But how do we know to judge something that is evil. We must have a belief attached of what is evil. And so the distortion happens.

Apparently monks have had small birds come and land and sit on them.

Can I ask you. Can you judge something when you see something without thinking? When there is no thoughts, can there be any judgement on things? When there is no thoughts, can there be any labels attached to things that can be judged?

cool thread

I have heard that when one is ready a teacher will appear. I have also heard that the real teacher is the teacher inside of you. But I hear many things.

People are told to be natural. So they form an idea of what it is to be natural and hold it, instead of just being. Letting go of needing is a good one.

what is the nature of the mind when there are no thoughts.
