@tonyfalca that sounds like a good philosophy. that reminds me of a book description i read recently. anyways, ive heard some pretty crazy things about isolation chambers, but basically that they can be very enlightening.
My "crow" is tail-gaters. Gets me every time. This undoubtedly is a carry-over from childhood feelings of inadequacy. Tail-gaters are employing a "soft-terrorism". They feel anonymous in their vehicle and so feel that they can terrorize people with impunity by tail-gating and sort of "forcing" them to drive faster by implying that you are "inadequate" as a driver (and probably as a person!). My job is to realize that these people DO IT TO EVERYBODY, not just me! ;-)
@TadRapidly I don't take tailgaters personally. It probably just means I'm going too slow in the fast lane. It's just easier for me to get over to a slower lane and enjoy my day. You're right many things we take personally is more about the other person than us.
99.999 percent of people piss on others you my freind are among few others that do not youre vids rock keep it up and you may perhaps change the world my freind or atleast help people get a grip if evreyone thought this way honest and open war might not exist and thats just peachy my freind bravo
What percentage of your life is spent in this ONENESS? People tend to obsess about non-duality. I prefer to just be and not worry about ego/not ego, duality/non-duality. It is so subjective and takes people away from the NOW.
Why not do both. That was an experience of only one session, each session it gets better and lasts longer as each session you are disolving more of your mental limitations or irritations.
Thank You for your comment. The recipe is simple, free, and accessible to all: strip away external conditioning, be present in our everyday lives, go within, and have the courage to follow.
I agree with you Steve, however I do believe that as I experience the divine in me, by floating, meditating, massage, making love etc... I am more able to practice my spiritual principal, because these experiences helps me ground "who I really am" in my daily life, Thank you for the post!
Yes, these tools can be beneficial. They however are not necessary to discover oneself. Conscious breathing throughout the day is also effective in grounding oneself. It is free, simple, real world practice, and perpetual. Thank you for your comment.
Great points! Circumstances are neutral our reactions determine our spiritual well being. Yes we all can lose our cool which is human. Simply observing all reactions keeps us in peace.
We can change this planet to suit all of our needs. Even though many do not believe this is possible, i see how it is the ONLY thing worth living for. Otherwise, nothing should really matter. Like the Queen song that ends: "Nothing really matters, anyone can see, nothing really matters, nothing really matters....to me." Peace
Great quote, "Nothing really matters!" The moment we allow something to matter it awakens the beast of desire, attachment and suffering. When "nothing really matters" every experience is a gift.
I think this video highlights the extent to which mankind has influenced our environment/planet to the point that it is severely out of balance with the endless possibilities for eternal bliss and happiness. The path to fulfillment is a two-tier process, one's relationship with oneself and the relationship with every other things in our perception.
Thank you for your insightful comments. In my experience there is no process. The ego wants to "do" something to awaken. A young child knows its true nature. Adults suffocate this awareness with perceptions, thinking, and ego. The path to fulfillment is not a process; it realizing we are already enlightened.
Is it not true that there is always something to be learned from every single moment of conscienceness. Therefore, one should embrace all things and influence them accordingly. p.s. Thanks for your message on my channel. Peace and Love my friend
Agreed there is nothing to learn. Only to unlearn. What does a dog have to learn to be happy? Learning invariably involves identification with the external universe. Our crows can snap us out of hypnosis from the physical world.
what brought you to use the isolation chamber? ive always wanted to try one!

@tonyfalca Try something different. I used to try 1 different thing per month. It helped to stretch my comfort zone.

Like seeing beauty in a rainy day. It ruins the day for some ppl or at least creates more negativity when it does not have to.

I'm wanting to experience floating but the nearest center is a 4 hour drive. Is it worth it?

It is worth doing at least twice. The 2nd time is suppose to be a better experience.

Tail-gaters will continue to be my "hook" until the day I die! Never fails to cause an incarnation. It's hilarious!

Thank you Steve i will incorporate this technique into my daily practice, as grounding is my biggest issue :)

Aaahh I laughed, it is exactly what I have done until now... redaing books, hours of meditation and thinking that I could handle everything...
I was disturbed that I could not handle all situations and desesperated sometimes, really I am grateful for sharing your experience:)

Thanks for sharing. The most beneficial spiritual practice is not "doing". Accepting our humanness (shortcomings) brings contentment.

We cannot control what's being thrown at us. however, we can control our REACTION to it.
I believe that with practice, most squaws can be overlooked/ignored.
I'm told however, that even zen monks can lose their cool once in a while. It must be a human thing.....
Even a bad experience is good if we acknowledge it and learn from it and they we reacted.

Birds make great gurus. Instead of battling our "crows" let them slap us back to our true nature.
