In search of hidden bullshit (Nederlands or English)
Posted: Thu Feb 14, 2019 6:27 pm
LU is focused guiding for seeing there is no real, inherent 'self' - what do you understand by this?
That all is energy and "I am" (is) looking through a body-mind construction into this theater we call "the world". And that this "I am" is identifying with this false-self because of conditioning. (Somewhere there's a thought: I can say all the advaita words. But what the fuck does that mean. That I'm good at reading at reciting books. So: nothing)
What are you looking for at LU?
I would say "to see it". To "see" throught it. By "it" meaning the concept that thinks it is "self". Or may be check if I have "unseen" it. That might be a better description. There's nothing to find... It started with the "desire" for more efortless living I suppose. Less resistance, and more "releasing the tiller" (to speak with Jed). I think I get "it" on a intellectual level, but hey, what do I know. Maybe also check "where" I am in this so called process.. To see what my level of bullshit (still) is.
There has been a recent "experience" which I could describe best as "Emptiness watching". That was pretty interessting. But then suddenly the "commentator" is back again and the blabla and stories and hopes and claiming of experiences starts again. Although since I've read the Gatecrashers pdf book, a sort of "emptiness" is experienced. Still blabla, but not per se "owned" by a "me". So I'd like to "check" whether there is still hidden bullshit somewhere..
What do you expect from a guided conversation?
Focused questions to check if it is "seen". And maybe pointers to clean "myself" from subconcious programming which creates this fuzzy "thing" called "I" and all the stories about "I". But maybe that is party of the journey after seeing it. So: to check "where" I am in this so called "process"..
In march there is a satsang weekend that i wanted to attend. But I'm not really sure. There's this feeling that "I" should do the work first before going to lazy mode and ask a teacher. First do the work "myself" by "getting to the heart of this thing". Yes I can read the book and recognize things, but I have to do the work myself. And with that I could use some help (for the blind spots. And also to stay with the subject).
If there's something "I" "want" it would be "human adulthood" (At least: I think.. or maybe that is Jed speaking in my head..). To get rid of all the childish patterns that sometimes (very often) "steer" me in this life. in the end I feel like sometimes I'm "joking" myself around the REAL questions and though stuff, so a guide would be very helpfull for the last "push" (into the.. i don't know what..)
What is your experience in terms of spiritual practices, seeking and inquiry?
My "spiritual autolysis" started when in 2013 my coach mentioned "Jed mc Kenna" the "you don't exist" thing. That started the whole "search".
I read al the Jed Books, I am THAT (Nisargadatta), Tony Parsons, Ramana Maharshi, David Carse. I went to a satsang in 20-17, but I thought it was mainly "talking into space" ("Gelul in de ruimte" in Dutch), and I also feel that it is a bit "lazy". You ask, they answer..
On a scale from 1 to 10, how willing are you to question any currently held beliefs about 'self? 1
