It's been four and a half years on this forum and 2200 posts and definitely time to leave. To ask for more would not be sensible and I have offered as much nonsense as I can. Anyways the mode of communication here is very limited for anyone to really learn from anyone else regarding practices (unless through insults! or intense mind numbing debating!), and I believe the best that can be found on thetaobums is the information we share about teachers and teachings we have directly experienced. And I have reached the limit on that in both ways, so.... I would just stop posting without all this apparent drama, but I feel have to show my full gratitude to what this place has given me. I first lurked and posted here without any experience with meditation besides Ramana Maharshi's "who am I?" question that suddenly awoke the spiritual urge in me. Now I'm just exploding with joy and the world has turned upside down and a whole new possibility has opened up! Everything I have today I have found from the users here. From Max, Thusness/Xabir (they're not the same person!), and Sadhguru, I wouldn't have got in touch with any of these great beings without this forum. So thank you! (especially Sean, for putting this together!) But most of all the interactions I've had with users here, although not always positive, have been a continuous inspiration to challenge myself, and most of all, to be honest with myself. To any new users, I suggest using thetaobums as a stop by to find a path suitable for you. Again, thank you everyone! And I truly and sincerely wish your experiences of something beyond the mere material limitations come to fruition and true insight and bliss can be attained. Realization is possible for everyone and within reach. Good luck on your paths!
