Thanks Hubert for your responses. About the fool thingy, I enjoyed reading that post and also may I say that the fact that you don’t mind it as much or not at all like before when you feel like a fool, indicates that you are in fact starting to stop believing in you (read: your mind) ;). This means that the distinction between yourself and the mind is greater than before, hence your freedom is increasing. I think you are doing good.
Tubeseeker:
The philosophies that I speak of are the realizations I have had after contemplation and meditation. If I would be able to experience them fully in first person, I would be enlightened, and I am sorry to say I am not ;). However, they are direct realizations and I can experience them to some extend. Some more than others.
It is more like I can see the truth, but not yet take that essential and final dive into it. I can taste it, but I do not allow myself to eat it yet. I know it, I can see things clearly I must say, but there are some obstacles of which i am more than aware of. They will be overcome and hopefully then I will take that dive into infinity. It is all up to me really. I feel that the pool I can see and draw knowledge from, lies there in front of me. All I need now to take the dive, is by taking the decision to let go of all that I believe to be me. I have to die, not physically, but consciously my mind has to cease, my attachment to it anyway.
So I can honestly say that these things, or philosophies if you prefer, I am sharing is first-hand material. No book is quoted or distorted into telling them. I can experience these things I am talking about, I can taste the freedom, hence I can talk about the taste and what I see, but to me, the true experience is that of the final stage… which is yet to come.
Love & Light
