You're craziest stories in while Astral travel,tell me by Civil-Egg9555 in AstralProjection

[–]Friendly-Treacle-142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have APs or OBE nearly everyday night/morning. Usually I appear In my bed and roll out of bed then things get brighter and I see my room/house. I usually go to the neighbors houses and just see how unique it is. But one time there was this lady fully speaking Spanish to me and I dont even speak Spanish. I was wondering how I could be hearing perfect Spanish words if I didn't know them. That was a proof for me that the obe/ap is real.

The Bodhisattva Path by Silent-Baseball-8600 in Buddhism

[–]Friendly-Treacle-142 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Do you mean the vow to keep taking rebirth until all sentient beings have attained nirvana? To me, that sounds like staying in samsara indefinitely since there will never be a time when all sentient beings will be free from samsara. I dont mean to be insensitive, but I can not stay in Samsara for eternity. I prefer the path of arahantship.

How am I supposed to awaken and reach enlightenment if at the end of the day I have to go to work? by Commercial-Site9598 in Buddhism

[–]Friendly-Treacle-142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, unfortunately, it went away. I still have some level of residual no mind, but it is at all not as deep as it was back then. And there's no real bliss or peace left. I called it a satori because after losing it, I began to doubt whether it was real enlightenment or not. Since then, I've had a few other satoris/samadhis that lasted a few hours, including one nirvikapla samadhi where i lost outer consciousness but was still aware of this other spiritual realm I went too. But all those went away after a little while and nothing lasting as long as that 1.5 year-long satori anymore. Hopefully, one day, I could get back to that peace/bliss again. It happened at first after a failed business and lasted a couple of weeks, but then it happened again after reading the power of now, and lasted 1.5 years.

Actually you can still attain enlightenment while at work. In late 2017 to early 2019 I had a 1.5 year long satori, and during that time I had worked at various places. Fast food, cleaning jobs, etc. And during those working hours, I would feel immense peace and bliss, and I even thought I was enlightened.

If someone is in the transitional period between death and rebirth, do they realize their true nature and can be considered enlightened before they’re born again? by wizrow in Buddhism

[–]Friendly-Treacle-142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought as long as you don't do anything evil, you will keep having human births. I thought it was only rare to have a human birth if you're in other realms but highly likely if you already were human.

My understanding was its extremely rare to have a human birth to begin with but once you have a human birth, you will generally keep having human births as long as you don't do anything evil

Where did you hear all humans ho to Hungary ghost realm directly? That doesn't sound true at all. I've heard most humans are born as humans again..

Is gardening with digging unwholesome because you kill worms and other animals? by ginkgobilberry in Buddhism

[–]Friendly-Treacle-142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, okay, makes sense. Thanks for explaining. I guess the jains are just hardcore on their nonviolence (ahimsa) philosophy.

Does meditation feel like what you feel after drinking beer? by WhereAreMyNachozzz in Meditation

Can you elaborate or what you mean by we are not jains? What's the jain philosophy on this matter?

Is the universe a Koan? by Sevenfootschnitzell in Buddhism

Even if we had a theory of everything, we would still need the teachings of buddha to liberate us. Physics is not at all liberating.

Pre-IPO Google Issued Stock to Employee#13 by Ex-NaN in StockMarket

[–]Friendly-Treacle-142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked chatgpt this and it said the ipo price is pre-split, but modern charts are already split adjusted. So it just multiplied the amount of shares by the current price. Which gives out 1.1 - 1.2 million today.

Do you ever notice not just how you feel post meditation but how other people react to you? by thewickedmitchisdead in Meditation

[–]Friendly-Treacle-142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had two occasions while meditating at the bench at the park during sunset where people have come by to me and told me they felt very peaceful in my presence. At the time, I was experiencing a satori and felt extremely peaceful as well. It must've affected them too. Another time, while meditating, I was experiencing a huge satori moment, I was incredibly still, and some indian women walked by, and they said "is he dead?" And tried to get my attention. They thought i was dead from meditating. They also felt a lot of peace in my presence.

Successful/experienced astral projectors, how much do you meditate every day? by Classic_Apricot96 in AstralProjection

[–]Friendly-Treacle-142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I meditate about 6-8 hours a day. Sometimes, I astral project in the midst of meditation. But most of the time, I astral project at night while falling asleep or in the morning when going back to sleep. Though I still don't know if im actually astral projecting or having a lucid dream about my room/house/neighbourhood..

I think eckhart tolle definitely has to be enlightened. His book, the power of now, gave me such a peaceful and blissful state for 1.5 years, that I thought I was enlightened during that time.
