  1. Stages of Self Identification

    We are the body, and we are the mind as well, and also this awareness/consciousness if you want. We are very complex beings
  2. Intra ocular pressure

    what can a medical doctor do to fix my eye? absolutely nothing, that would be an utter waste of time. And i don't like to lose my time!
  3. Intra ocular pressure

    I don't know if it is the same, but my right eye is very red as of lately, specially on days when i wake up early. It is quite red to say the truth. Any idea of how to improve this?
  4. How do you stop the leakage?

    my suggestion is that he focuses on trying to stop negative emotions at first, this alone can save a lot of energy for himself and improve the situation.
  5. How do you stop the leakage?

    interesting topic. We have many energy leakeages, surely one important is the overthinking 24/7 from one random thought to another random thought. Things got worse if there are also many negative emotions involved, worries, fears, anger, and the like, as those are even worse and increase the amount of energy wasted for nothing. So at first try maybe to stop these negative emotions and thoughts, it can be a good beginning. Also try not to do useless repetitive movements like when fidgeting or not tensing muscles when not using them
  6. Dark night of the soul

    Connected with the topic I have found this quote much of interest, by Itzhak Bentove, Stalking the wild pendulum:
  7. if you want to grow solitude is helpful, maybe even necessary at some point. almost all great geniuses have been lonely people, this give you the freedom to do interesting things, like reading, working on yourself or some project, etc.
  8. Dark night of the soul

    this dark night of the soul is a very interesting topic. But there is more to it than just meditation, not only in meditation this dark side we all have makes its appearance. In my case it often happens in dreams. This weekend I have dreamed quite a bit. Both Friday and Saturday I have had strange dreams, in which I can say some dark part of me has made its appearance. It is a dark part of me that is quite silent during the day, but it tends to make its appearance at night. Let's see how i fight against these demons, i don't know how i should attack them but i definitely will!
  9. Do What Thou Wilt

    what book would you recommend from Robert Anton Wilson? i am interested in reading some of his books
  10. Everyone post some favorite quotes!

    The very word Education is a tricky misnomer. The schools are not designed to educate but to domesticate. Their purpose is to train children like horses and dogs. Children are brainwashed and mind-conditioned to do the things and to think the thoughts which those in authority want them to do and to think. They are trained to accept without prejudice and to obey without question the dictates of authority. This training is so deeply instilled that only a few are ever able to recover from the effects of it, and they are smeared as enemies of civilization. By Hilton Hotema

  12. Your Experience of Standing Meditation

    it is a pity they are no longer here after all these years. I didn't even know @freeform was no longer participating. Wonder why he left. And what about @Earl Grey? he was a veteran among us, he could explain us many things about ZZ. Hope he does some day
  13. Your Experience of Standing Meditation

    don't get me wrong, shoulders also pained quite hard. It is just that the calves were a real problem for me. Shoulder pain probably came next.
  14. Your Experience of Standing Meditation

    @NuralshamalI also remember I felt pain everywhere while doing ZZ, i remember well! specially in my calves, that was unbearable (the right calf more than the left). The calves were very sore and painful, no matter how much i stretched them, and i stretched them a lot. The more I did ZZ the more pain I felt there, I guess that was one of the reason I had to stop.
