Orb Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Taking thoughts seriously 🤯. That's all it is! Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone. Mind is clear of limitation. I seek no state of enlightenment. Neither do I remain where no enlightenment exists. Since I linger in neither condition, eyes cannot see me. If hundreds of birds strew my path with flowers, such praise would be meaningless." - A Comment on the 8th Ox Herding Picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orb Posted August 17, 2022 Author Share Posted August 17, 2022 @James123 Its just funny because theres no "way" to get to "it", its just like sitting down and being clueless. It better be a good surprise. 😌 Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone. Mind is clear of limitation. I seek no state of enlightenment. Neither do I remain where no enlightenment exists.

Thats the reason why many people are confused about comparing enlightenment and solipsism. 7 minutes ago, Orb said: Its just funny because theres no "way" to get to "it", Definitely. It can not be given or taken. It can only “be”. Everyone is already what They really are just lost in process of thoughts and beliefs. Thats all.

I am currently lost as well even though a few days ago I saw that my confusion was really clarity. All it takes is more meditation I guess. Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone.

Orb Posted August 17, 2022 Author Share Posted August 17, 2022 @James123 That sounds awesome, but im unable to do this in my currently life situation, I can manage an hour or 2 at the most per day. Also, not trying to put you down as it clearly worked for you lol, but more isnt always better for other people. Ive seen people whove meditated all their lives (Meditating for hours, retreats, etc.) and they still are stuck in thinking and cultural stuff. Ive also seen examples of people who didnt meditate much and Self-Realized. Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone. Mind is clear of limitation. I seek no state of enlightenment.
