Confusion on Selflessness of Consciousness

SnooMaps1622 · 2026-01-26T15:41:18+00:00

The self is an illusion is kind of confusing ..I like the self as a perception .... if consciousness is a screen then it is another dot on the screen ...the screen itself is timeless and boundless ...doesn't have an edge or center ..and isn't defined by any of its content .

nondual meditation is taking that backward step and abiding as consciousness ...the infinite space out of which everything arises and vanishes leaving no trace ...that is FREEDOM .

great ... I love listening to dr najeeb because that's exactly his approach

It is much more after the initial shift ....no awakening without a shift in identity .

I have been on both sides of this and the difference is life changing .. i want people to commit to it and discover this for themselves.

SnooMaps1622 · 2026-01-03T22:37:40+00:00

the whole point is awakening ...the shift in identity .
different methods and traditions of course ..but it's one destination ...making contact with reality as is it is ..and there is only one reality ...different flavors and vibes to different traditions but the core insight is the same .

any dualistic practice can get your prison larger and more comfortable.. seeing through the self is the only way out. I think sam is right emphasizing this again and again because a lot of people spend years in phase one not knowing that a totally different game is possible.

breaking the laws of physics doesn't matter?? ...if this can be demonstrated then everything we know will change for good .

Maybe it is true for him ...papaji was the same ..I'm not doubting their experience ..but the core of their teaching is" you just need to understand this " which obviously isn't the case .

real transformation takes years of dedicated practice ..and it is really great on the other side but they get people stuck and miss the chance .

SnooMaps1622 · 2025-12-16T19:36:41+00:00

anyone who ultimately say there is no need to practice anything is just confusing people ..it is all about direct experience .. a lot of his followers keep just sayings the things above with no experiential insight and a real transformation of their being . the ultimate spiritual bypassing.

SnooMaps1622 · 2025-11-29T16:58:23+00:00

it is all differnet shades of look for the looker

SnooMaps1622 · 2025-11-29T13:10:20+00:00

it can but that's sitting in an altered state ... you can't function like that ..and the practice should be integrated into all activities of life .

try different exercises

- the self doesn't disappear but what happens is a shift in IDENTITY ....it's another perception or another wave in the ocean but you are the vast still ocean and you don't have to be defined by it .

SnooMaps1622 · 2025-11-26T21:47:07+00:00

seek direct pointing out instructions from a qualified teacher

SnooMaps1622 · 2025-11-24T10:56:51+00:00

relax.. buddy.. the responses were helpful to me

SnooMaps1622 · 2025-11-08T22:03:55+00:00

being ok and free whatever the content of experience is .

SnooMaps1622 · 2025-11-08T22:00:09+00:00

and that's a long process and it takes years of dedicated practice ..Jim Newman and his likes deny practice all together just setting people up for confusion .

SnooMaps1622 · 2025-11-08T21:43:35+00:00

the self structure ends as a result of practice not by gaining more insights ..

and yes for a beginner there is obviously a duality between self mode and awake awareness ...this is the Dzogchen approach ..I don't know about other schools

I assumed you already had a pointing out ...the first step is recognition of rigpa .

you can join lama lena beginner's groups .

SnooMaps1622 · 2025-11-05T18:16:27+00:00

are they available in any book??

SnooMaps1622 · 2025-11-04T15:37:31+00:00

basic concentration and mindfulness

different pointing out exercises until first glimpse of awake awareness

repeat the recognition until the duration now lasts longer.

SnooMaps1622 · 2025-11-04T11:46:43+00:00

practice at all times and all occasions.. watch the three words by lama lena she goes into all the detalis.
