When you think you know everything and theres nothing left to learn and you lose the curiosity, you are far too attached to beliefs. That state is in opposition to "spiritual progress"

 

"A messiah is the one who leaves a mess behind him in this world."

- U.G. Krishnamurti

About 30 minutes into meditation, my 'waking consciousness' is gone.

 

Hoping for some feedback

Your experiences will only lead to more confusion and suffering.

I treat my ego like it is water. I can make it solid, liquid, or let it vanish. If someone flips me the bird, I make the ego into vapor. If my plans are interrupted by an accident, I make the ego liquid. If someone threatens my life, I make the ego solid like ice. When the ego is not needed, it joins the waters of the world.

Anger is just frustration that tells me I not using the ego tool correctly.

The ego is the most useful illusion the Dao has ever conjured up.

I have been a lurker for quite a few months. I see a nice stability here so I decided to join.

I used to think Buddhism expressed what I felt about the world, but I found more and more over the years those who speak of the Dao speak a language that is more familiar to me.
