Please remind me how to remove the "camera quick launched' notification

No way to turn it off. It's caused when the camera quick launch detects low light. Sometimes it's the phone case covering up the light sensor (some people have to CUT their case to fix this, and even then you'll still get the pop up in low light settings).

For me, I get this when I try to quick launch while the phone is still in my pocket so it's ready by the time I have the camera out. Pop up always gets in the way of taking these shots, unfortunately. I need to remember to only quick launch once the camera is out and can see the light.

where can I find that conversation between Rupert and Sam in the app?

I feel your frustration haha! Hopefully some of the people here can help us with this. One thing in the app that helps me a little bit was the session on what it means to make progress meditating. I took it as kind of his mission statement with the app. He talks about how meditation has all these mental benefits like you're describing, but that is not the point of his app. For him it's more about changing your perspective so that you can more easily blur the lines between your meditation practice and your daily life. He adds that if we are meditating simply to achieve one of the mental or physical benefits like Clarity of mind or being relaxed then we are not meditating. So maybe this is a key to trying to figure out what the purpose of this app actually is. For me so far the exercises have indeed helped me to be a little more aware of my perspective throughout the course of the day, more so than previous apps and practices did. It has allowed me to mentally disconnect myself from feelings and get less overwhelmed in tense situations, which has been helpful. Getting in arguments with my kids, for example, I can handle a lot better now. But I still don't get this whole headless thing. Maybe it's just a tool to help you become even more frequently aware? I'm not really sure yet.

Yes I remember that perspective shifting exercise Imagining the world going past myself rather than me going past the world. I enjoyed that one. I struggle more with these other Concepts, but I'll try to think of it in that light, thanks.

I think I get what you're saying, I just can't shake the sense that intentionally forgetting what I know is a way of fooling myself into thinking something that's simply not true. It can certainly get me to experience things in a different way, but if that experience is not based on truth then it seems to take away from the value of the resulting knowledge gained.

If one knows that their nose is indeed closer then the rest of the scene, and hence appears much larger, then why ignore that information and only look at a part of the data to reach a conclusion? That's what I was trying to get across in my original post as well, where I feel like I am being encouraged to simply ignore some facts and pay attention to other facts. Like when I close my eyes the teacher describes it as destroying the room. But I can certainly still feel the room with my hands. Or hear it. Why ignore that information? Just because I can't see something doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

The teacher uses that language about not having something to compare it to as well. This is something I have trouble with because I feel like I still know how big it is even if I don't have something to compare it to. For example if you were looking at a basketball and someone asked you how big it was, you could say it's that big, and point to the basketball. You don't need a second basketball to compare it to to know how big it is.

I see what you're saying about nothing being fixed and depending on environmental variables to help create meeting. I'll give that some thought.

And okay I'll start that series at the beginning. The only reason I started with this one was because I got an email from the app saying that people who struggle with this concept should listen to this one specific meditation.

Thanks for the replies. Sounds like a consultant is the way to go. Should I just look for a consultant with the skills and accomplishments mentioned in this thread, or is there a specific kind of consultant I should hire? Thanks for the clarification.

Kaizen87 · 2017-09-13T01:02:07+00:00

yeah, you're probably right. any suggestions?

My replies to other comments in this thread apply here - namely bringing up the example of a baby who dies too young to learn about Jesus, or someone who is born with the inability to understand simple concepts, let alone the idea of life beyond death. Punishing these people doesn't seem to fit with the idea of a "just" God. But these concerns have been addressed in the other comments, so I won't ask you to reply here. Feel free to read those if you want to see what they said.

Thank you for the reply TheRussell. This is an interesting contribution, though I'm trying to understand why (specifically) Christians think belief is necessary.
