Greetings - I'm posting here in reply to a video you posted years ago titled: What Non-Duality/Neo-Advaita Teachers Won't Tell You
That was very interesting. I had no prior knowledge to this state of awareness from any external source when it just occurred one day. It lasted about four days. Needless to say I stayed at home because there was no way to go to work like that. I have a science background so I began drawing, writing, recording etc... to figure out what was going on. I wanted evidence of it while it was happening. Eventually I emerged, and went down a massive rabbit hole of spiritual threads on the internet. Eventually I settled into what was going on. I have purposefully avoided any teachings as best as I can, but eventually other's opinions became relevant - like yours. If this is what I expect, then it should complete itself without the help of anyone else's imagination. I have discovered since then that the ego is under constant duress from the authentic self. It is though I am in a constant loop of correction, half in and half out of either frame of persistence. I have never meditated or even opened a book on the occult or anything of the sort because I always considered it foolishness. And I think the state of meditation is a waking one that can't be set aside. Sitting down to meditate is the same as grocery shopping. So, I guess my question is this if you don't mind. Your video was five years ago. What has five years of meditation revealed to you new since then?
Thank you for engaging :) Five years ago? Goodness me, time passes increasingly quickly!
So yes, I have continued to practice every day since that video, making it over 11 years continuous daily practice up to today. What has that activity revealed to me? Difficult to put into words really, so I might have to go for your grocery shopping analogy; sitting down to meditate is, you are correct, the same as grocery shopping, the same as brushing one's teeth, doing the dishes, in its mechanics. I exercise and stretch, sit and chant, stay sitting for Pranayama then 35 mins silence. Same thing every day. But the groceries, oh my goodness, the deliciousness of them deepens daily. The quality increases, they are juicy, sweet and full of goodness and get cheaper and cheaper as time goes by. It is the diametric opposite to most 'treatments' for life's difficulties in that meditation brings cumulative effects. To me it represents the most interesting and challenging endeavour I have ever known. I thoroughly recommend a simple, straightforward, easy to remember, good quality daily practice, it brings spiritual, mental emotional and physical benefits that nothing else can. Best wishes to you!
@@OffGridMind Thank you for the prompt reply. I have found myself looking for what fits as a repetitive method. I agree with your approach - simple and something that fits in with normal daily life. At first there's some sense of urgency to establish some sort of something... and then it fades into the reported repose that I have read from other's entries here and there on various threads. Thanks again, I hope you have a pleasant week.
@@AtomkeySinclair I think the urgency and subsequent fading of motivation is very common. Maybe when we create a mental object out of the imagined results of practice, which then fail to materialize to our self-imposed schedule, we lose heart. For my part, I have always tried to keep the motivation very simple, just to do the practice, this time, today. Imaginary results of enlightenment can be a terrible burden. Best wishes to you :)
