Hi Tyler

Sorry late reply been a bit rough lately, travelling, work etc.

Here's one really funny one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjnLphLeVvo

Thank you ! will check it out.

Yes, look in the "holes" you mentioned. Are you there during the holes?

No, it is just the experience.

When you ...

Hi Tyler :) Thanks for your reply. So quick !

Ahhh you've delved into Jed. He's certainly one of the clearer speakers on the subject. His first book was gold but I feel that his material slowly devolved book by book hahah. If you feel inclined to read more Jed I recommend not reading past the ...

Hi Tyler :)

I read Jed Mckenna's first book on enlightenment. Really changed my perspective. I am fascinated at how easily I believe stuff. The same could be said for Jed's book, though his process makes sense. Giving up all beliefs, unlearning what was learnt, looking for yourself and having no ...

Keep exploring and have fun :)

Thanks Tyler, for all your thoughts :)...I will certainly keep exploring (not sure I could do anything else), and enjoying it cause it's utterly mind blowing.

Here's the quote video
Thanks ! I was not using the "post reply" button, but clicking on the quote symbols before, so this is much easier :)

You can try Whac-A-Mole while focusing on any of the individual senses, in this case touch. I've found that pretty effective.

Just making sure I ...

Tyler, I am really amazed at how quickly you answer my questions and the time you have put into this for a complete stranger ! Wow.
Hey JB, don't worry about it. I don't have a busy life hahah. From now on, could you only use the quote function around what I wrote that you're replying to? It's ...

Tyler, I am really amazed at how quickly you answer my questions and the time you have put into this for a complete stranger ! Wow.

Can you please be specific on consistent practice ? How much practice is required ?

I am mostly happy with DE without thought, though once practice stops this ...

So why are you here? Why not test your theory and meditate until you're hyper-aware and attain enlightenment? Maybe reality/truth is hiding as a subtle sensation in one of your toes LOL.

As part of me doubts whether this is true. Some people have meditated for years, and still have not ...

After meditating for a few days my awareness gets heighted and I can feel more subtle sensations in the body. There is belief that by increasing the strength of my awareness, I will see reality/truth at a more fundamental level. So I am looking to be super aware and somehow hit on the ...

Nice to meet you too. What's your name?

I am JB, thanks for guiding :). It is really helpful to actual investigate why I am doing this search.

Let's make a useful (yet artificial) distinction moving forward.
There are 2 parts of your experience:
1) Direct Experience (DE, 5 senses)
2) Thought ...

Hi Sosimplyme, I'm Tyler and welcome to LU.

Hi Tyler nice to meet you. Please see my answers below.

For pointers given my particular history and orientation.
And what's your particular history and orientation?
I do mainly Buddhist meditation based on the book The Mind Illuminated and other ...

LU is focused guiding for seeing there is no real, inherent 'self' - what do you understand by this?
I understand this to mean that there is no more identification to the personal story that defines me, this belief is gone. There is a seeing through the illusion of a separate self, so experience ...
