To get back to the question

How can you make a true evaluation? Zazen, time and the right teacher

Those pictures did not convince me back then, they sure as hell are not going to convince me now. You would have to be an idiot of the highest order to to take pictures taken at low exposure and shutter speed and mistake the trail effect to be something spiritual.

I know Sahaja yoga is full of idiots, you would have to be to first have a walrus as your guru, and to accept all their claims.

“you would have to be to first have a walrus as your guru, and to accept all their claims.”

The problem is not that the walrus is a walrus, but that the walrus is pretending to be a dragon. For those who have eyes to see, the reality of the matter can be seen instantaneously, not because of the words she is saying, but in the energy beneath the words, in the living presence of the person. She is deceptive. And although she may consciously be trying to supress her sleep, it pours forth in every atom of her gestures, revealing itself. Just as in awakening, it is like a raving fire in the darkness of the night - similarly in sleep, you cannot hide it from one who has an eye on the forehead.

Easy. Just listen to others. They are much less biased regarding your person than you are.

Grab an hourglass and get it move. And imagine that your life flows just like those dropping sand particles, and at some point, after a certain while, it will stop dropping. Yet, it will not disappear. Because, the sand is still there - just changed its location !

A way to know the truth within the truth…

I have found the truth about myself two days ago.

But I am not gonna speak of it.

Because you already know it. Delve deep and discover the ore of truth within.


“[I]One who has a treasure does not show it to everyone[/I]”

Lao Tzu to Confucius

High Wolf,

Even if it is really the case, then do not become contented with this minor realization, which is just scratching the surface of the phenomenon.

“One who has a treasure does not show it to everyone”

Lao Tzu "

And yet he has written a whole book about it. If you understand what it is that he is indicating - then you will know that it has very little to do with speaking or not speaking.

How can one know the truth about yourself?

How can we?

We dont know where we came from, we dont know who we are and we have no idea where we’re going.

“We dont know where we came from, we dont know who we are and we have no idea where we’re going”

Do not speak in plural. It is none other than yourself. Because you have not channeled your energy in the right direction, one has been drifting out of unconsciousness, creating all kinds of unecessary suffering in the process.

seeker,

“Please get familiar with the system and then judge.”

As the founder of your system is absolutely unconscious, it is only inevitable that you should follow in her footsteps. And this whole phenomenon of the blind leading the blind, of people who are in a deep sleep trying to assist others who are also in a deep sleep, has been a source of enormous suffering on this Earth. If you are interested at all in your own awakening, then you will doubt everything that you have assumed up till now. But to doubt yourself may be tremendously painful, because it opens the possibility of your seeing that you have been wasting your whole time, that you have been deceiving yourself. That is one of the greatest disasters, that, because of pride and the fear of losing your security - that one would be unwilling to recognize one’s own delusions.
