Wake up

Hey everyone, I just wanted to say that I met my Guru this past week, and had an awakening:

I was sitting in the presence of a Buddha, and broke down into tears at how much I loved this man whom I had never met: since then I've been free of suffering, for I see my Guru in everything, and my Guru is me.

I just want to say to all of you: you're doing great. Keep seeking. Try everything. Leave no stone un-turned, question EVERYTHING you experience.

Rational mind is infinity being divided in two, over and over and over again. Infinity is perfect, and you need not divide perfection into anything.

Remember, you made me up to tell you this

Liberation is not the ability to do whatever you want, liberation is seeing that you only ever do what you have to.

Let love guide your way.

-Danny

 

right on - Liberation is letting go my friend....stop trying to control everything and just let go. And as always love wins, I'm slowly learning this.....

 

i dont really know how to read your story (i dont know you) but it sounds like things are on the up with you. sounds like your opening a new and interesting chapter in you life story. hope things work out in the way your heart would dream them.

i watched a spiritual brother of mine transform drastically after meeting a very irie tibetan monk. i havent seen him in a few years, he went of on the vipassana thing for a while and last i knew moved to thailand to live in a monestary. the man had an iron will, i respect where he's gone but i do miss him

 

This is SO true. Good job, everything is my guru.

 

many blessings introspectre

may our paths cross as often as they shall

 

advice:

1. it's darkest just before dawn
2. once you meet the guru it's over
3. keep trying

I love you

 

last night i was awake until six o clock....before the sun started to rise, i found it to be its darkest from twelve o clock to four o clock...The darkest was in the middle...at five o clock it started to get bright

I may not have said the right thing to the above post, but does that his post and my post connect? lol

 

introspect, its not over. as far as i can tell it never will be. tomarrow you'll be confronted by new choices, as you always have been.

 

i was incredibly stoned last night so thats the reason i forgot to say to introspectre GOOD JOB BRO:cheers2:

 

yeah man I'm so down for seeing how the other religions work. I'm glad you're well and kickin'!

 

Bless this thread :biggrin:

 

lol

 

:cheers2: the journey and :cheers2: to the infinite lessons

we are tumbling around taking it in, writing our own path...you've done well it seems!!!

congrats intorspectre, i doubt you will, but plese don't let this get to your head

 

It ends if you let it

Choice is an illusion

 

Thank you my friend for the thread . As of late I have needed words of encouragement. I remember reading a thread of yours earlier, how's your girl doing?

 

She broke my heart and left me again

Now she wants me back, but I see now that the only way to save her is to let her save herself.


"If I knew the way, I would take you home"

 

Wow man how similar are situations are I too have been a very long relationship witha girl who does not know what she wants.

 

Yeah... I'm currently going to wait till I meet some chick who's already blissfully happy to spend the rest of my life with

if it doesn't happen though, it doesn't happen

Keep in mind that you don't know what you want either, don't be too hard on her, save that spite for yourself (you're the only one who gets to feel it anyway)

Thanks buddy!

In regards to your question, when I said "it's darkest just before dawn" I meant "you're going to suffer the most right before you stop suffering"

I think it's darkest from like... midnight to 3am maybe where I live? Those are my peak hours, I'm a really nocturnal person. Speaking of which, the sun is coming up which means it's time for me to go to bed!

 

i think that sort of attitude is a dangerous pitfall. i dont believe there is an end. does your guru not exercise disapline and self maintanence?

 

I've never said a word to the man I met who you think is my guru

He'd be as disinterested in hearing my thanks as I'd be in speaking it

Self discipline is an absurd notion, let your self do whatever the hell it wants to do


edit: By the way something I haven't pointed out that I probably should: I haven't taken LSD in over a year, or any psychedelic chemicals aside from the occasional joint at a party. LSD is a powerful catalyst (borrowing the term from desos), but meditation and yoga are FAR more powerful tools in the long run. Yoga is worthless until you can meditate while doing it though.

my advice for spiritual seekers wondering what tools to use, based solely on my personal experience:
use lsd until you have a white light experience (you'll know with certainty when you do), then stop doing lsd. it happened to me on my 4th acid trip, and my first time on 2 hits
begin meditation, and force yourself to meditate as much as you can each day. Do nothing but attempt to recreate the white light experience.
seek the guru. youtube videos of people like Burt Harding (great beginner guru), Adyashanti (medium to advanced) or Peter Brown (the real fuckin deal) helped me alot, what I would usually do is if I wasn't in the mood to meditate I would just watch a video of one of these people talking and relax until I could meditate.
keep meditating, and see how it affects the world your ego lives in. I noticed that the more I meditated, the more my life would just work itself out without any effort on my part, but when i would take a break from meditation, I was neck deep in problems that I couldn't deal with.
At some point you're going to forget what the white light is or if you even ever experienced it at all, because you are becoming very close to living it. it's very easy to give up at this point, because you almost stop seeing the difference between being at peace and not being at peace, because the two are almost merged. (after about a year of meditation this happened to me)
The Guru will show up when you're ready
