@Simon0 Thanks, I continue the journey. And good luck to you as well :)

[Simon0]

@squamish4244 well.. good luck with it anyway. :)

@Simon0 No, you can't - although it's a paradox, you also must give up hope, because it is another concept holding you back, So you have to continually strive for awakening without hoping for it in your mind. It's tough to do. Right now after a great deal of effort and practice I am feeling quite disillusioned about ever feeling even somewhat free, but I still work at it, because what else is there to do?

[Simon0]

@squamish4244 you can lose hope cant you.. lose hope that you will find a way free of suffering.

[Simon0]

i must be enlightened already cause i am pretty good at doing nothing.

Adyashanti's story is very inspiring because of what he was able to achieve by the age of 32. Awakening seems to be a far off and distant thing, and delusion so powerful, that if you are on the spiritual path disillusionment and apathy can set in. He has directly stated that we should take seriously the possibility of awakening for ourselves, in this very life. It is not only for far off people on mountaintops. We can experience profound freedom and peace. It's an important message.

@BarryCroucher our attachments in life come from memories. memories which give us pain are sad memories, those which give us happiness are good memories. But if there is No memory, ( even for 1 millisecond) there is nothing good or bad to hold on to. What remains is presence or silence. In this state if you move your attention to this feeling of presence, you realize, this feeling is not coming from inside the body , its everywhere.

then only love , no suffering :-)

@Simon0 who is speaking here? as long as you are in egoic consciousness you will suffer... it is in its very nature. it must suffer at times to reinforce its sense of self. Suffering will only end, when there is no one there to suffer - you see the difference? ;)
