Friend: "Oh no! You sound just like my stupid parents. You found God!"
Me: "I did not 'find' God. I got over myself."

but, I still come to this happy thread. Love to all.

Hi Chris and Friends,

Just dropping in to say I'm delighted to see the recent interest in Nisargadatta Maharaj, his teaching was a milestone. I find it hard to watch videos, and have a preference...

Hmmm, exactly how does one do that, the highlighted text I mean ?

No disrespect to anybody but that seems like a bit of an Oxymoron no ?[/QUOTE]


No, since you ask :-) In the Buddha's own...

Hi Matt,

Great question. I'd love to hear what others think on this topic, including your own ideas.

I've been a vegetarian for over three decades. Originally, this was an economic decision...

Why let go of the world though? The world is beautiful and it's only through expression that we can experience our higher selves and rise our consciousness.[/QUOTE]

Indeed. No need to let go of...

I'm reminded of this wonderful scene from the movie V for Vendetta. I think this may illustrate what Mooji is driving at by suggesting support is necessary to prevent a turning away from the moment...

Sorry you went through this, Meggings. Losing desire is impossible. As Joey Lott would probably say, try letting go of the desire to not have your head smashed against a wall. Even if you have given...

Bingo! Creating and experiencing are the same thing.

The 'I' in all of this is a veil that was created and prevented the clarity of truth. In the direct approaches to lifting the veil, the...

Where is the inside...

Ah... the stories of 'I' continue.

'I went here'. 'I went there'.
'I experienced this'. 'I experienced that'.

We find it so hard to let go of the idea that there is a separate being, either...

YES! This is what I am driving at. Chris and David Hawkins come to the rescue. :-)

I join an informal sangha. Following mediation sessions I will often hear "Oh. I experienced a void, blackness,...

:-) Maybe.

I've never understood 'nothingness', although it's used a lot. Perhaps it's part of the Buddha's path, and so I'll respect that.

But, I can't help wonder how nothingness can be an...

Physically, it's tiring to let thoughts control oneself and have no peace. Hence, it has to be a decision made by the mind to alleviate suffering. I believe the aim of everyone is Nirvana. ...

In a meditative state we can see thoughts for what they are, and let them go. When thoughts have quietened, we can see that the concept of time is entirely dependent on those thoughts. We become...

Indeed, Chris. I'm fairly sure it was a post on this thread that pointed me to Adya some years ago. I've read all his books. In the experience of all of this, who is guiding who? Fascinating. I'm...

Here's a two-part video of Adyashanti (a most lovable Zen teacher) discussing two of the Buddha's teachings. The first is the 'Middle Way', where Adya talks of letting go of grasping and pushing i.e....

I (a convenient label for this personality in the manifest of all of this) have many Buddhist acquaintances, both Westerners and Asians. Those that seek gnosis, rather than pure devotion, often...

Thought I'd beat Wind today in posting a daily dose of Mooji :-)

Fall in love with the emptiness
Fall in love with love
Just don't create a story

" I used to be very much a controlling person, putting so much effort into trying to get rid of the things I didn't like: mental conditions, certain thoughts, memories and emotions. I spent most of...
