allinone Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) Not a problem at all. Have a nice day When you go to forest and be a wanderer, you will get used to it and have same things come up like in any other place. The day will become segmented to different psychological parts and that will start to repeat. If you would have money, females free time, you will eventually get used to it and have the same issues like in a forest. The routine will set in. So you can say the same thing to forest that forest programs you like amongst people society will program you. If you move to a new place you wait till the mind rises. Like a body will get mature and consciousness rises what is able to think for itself. Cultivate the body using environment where it is in aka senses, and then have mind to rise and get that into the inner realms, desire realm, jhana realm to cultivate these realms. Use clear seeing/vipasyana, it is using the inner eye. It doesn't matter if you are behind the computer or in a forest away from others. Vipassana(mainstream, popular) is noting practice. As noting sensation and seeing impermanence of phenomena. What it lacks is sensations what lasts longer than the perception, perception will change but the sensation will not. In order to get to know and sense the substance what is responsible for perception and consciousness, read Mahayana. edit: even common sense is knowing that changing a place you abide won't get rid your habits. That includes rejecting "bad habits" is same as you have had them, the potential is there, you could have done it. The cultivation is you have to see it and find a way what does the same thing but is superior, so you won't have to destroy the samsara nor nirvana.

Bindi Posted April 3, 2017 “Within the city of Brahman, which is the body, there is the heart, and within the heart there is a little house. This house has the shape of a lotus, and within it dwells that which is to be sought after, inquired about, and realized.” “As one not knowing that a golden treasure lies buried beneath his feet, may walk over it again and again, yet never find it, so all beings live every moment in the city of Brahman, yet never find him, because of the veil of illusion by which he is concealed." - Chandogya Upanishad 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allinone Posted April 3, 2017 "heart opens everything" if to put the emphasis on everything, then the sentence is correct. But instead the heart is over focused and the "everything" is taken for granted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
