    When it comes to the ego, this is a truthful commentary from Eckhart Tolle.

    Very insightful video!
    My question then is:
    Besides the body senses distraction, what keeps the spirit (or "self" or "being") locked in the mind (or ego) and the body?

    Belief that this is me keeps one locked in the concept that I am an individual.
    The story of me.
    I am the doer, the author of everything that happens in my life.

    "Events happen
    Deeds are done
    There is no individual there of."

    Thats a very ancient teaching quoted by Ramesh Balsekar who was fond of saying "You are not the doer"
    also "God gave you an ego let Him remove it"

    The more you study the subject of enlightenment the easier it gets.
    Its a process of elimination---Neity neity Not this not this.
    You are already the Ultimate you have to remove all thoughts/concepts/beliefs that obscure this.
    Rather than me trying to explain I would suggest you have a look at Tims thread.
    Enlightenment - A direct, succinct account of what occurs...

    Just yesterday I watched a video in which the lady said the machine that recycles people back to earth has been turned off...
    There is also that recent video from Wes Penre explainig the trend towards Transhumanism making the existing reincarnation traps obsolete because when all spirits are trapped in a forever living body, there's no need for "forced reincarnation."
    This is indeed frightening if true and I suspect it may very well be true. However, if we can't die, does that mean they have less, almost no control over us? As I see it now, it's the fear death that permeates our earthly existence.

    As an aside, there was a poster on another forum (ATS) some years ago who said he was tormented by spirit-orbs so he somehow trapped them in a Faraday cage and tormented them in revenge. It was a whacko thread and kind of funny but what I got out of it was that it seems spirits can be trapped and a Faraday cage might be all that's required. Now that's scary too!

    You cant be trapped in a body.
    Spirit can not be trapped--you in essence are neither male nor female.
    Your are formless consciousness.
    Formless condenses temporally into form then back again to formless.
    The soul is without beginning or end--eternal.

    Everyone is welcome to their belief

    Hi Chris
    Trapps can be also in form of firm beliefs.
    I saw once a video where baby elephants are conditioned to be tied to a sturdy pole and when grown older, don't even try to escape because their conviction is that they can't pull that pole.
    But on your fellow man, it's not that easy.
    Even if you tell him "you are free of your body" he want take of.

    Strange - I noticed on some threads where I commented - they died down with no more replies.

    Please keep this insightful and interesting thread going ...

    Hi Michi the thing is this kind of thread does not attract too many posters.
    There are long standing threads in the spiritual section where no doubt you are very welcome to post on any spiritual subject.
    This particular subject here has resurface quite often over the years.
    You are not a thread killer--you just arrive when it was going quiet.
    Best wishes
