I got pretty deep once, and felt like I could see behind eyelids, it was kinda mental. But I find it hard to reach that stage. There is something to it.

Look up what QualiaInstitute says about it, it's interesting.

i can make the mind go quiet, but there are still thoughts, just without the fucking narrator/self dialogue

Interesting, what kind of thoughts are they then? Visual?

>>40509163
visual sometimes, but mostly conceptual, like you already know the whole sentence that you are going to say before you say it

That is a good step forward, I think at least. I've definitely felt jhana-like bliss but i couldn't say for sure if it was a jhana. BTW, apparently jhanic bliss is better than sex with a 10/10 from what I've heard

The janna of the Quran is a metaphor for this. Rivers of bliss (svaha) and wisdom (boddhi). The term gnosis is pronounced like the jhanna, with both the gn and jh being pronounced as the french gn of mignon or the spanish ñ of niño.

One eternal truth portrayed in different languages with different examples and symbols but conveying the same eternal truth of the spirit.

When one becomes focused in attaining bliss through external constructs one may forget the bliss of the eternal within. The bliss that was lost within many expect to find it outside but it must be found again where it was lost.

That peace, that bliss is within us and with us. But the individual becomes trapped in the dramas and goals of the mind, forgetting that in essence one is complete in the spirit. One can feel that completeness in the heart in silence. And the bliss in the heart and in the head and in the sacral.

Peace with you friends.
Yoga means union. Religion means reunite. Reuniting with the eternal, becoming complete once again. One is complete in the heart, but gets lost in the divisions of the mind. For one gaining the world one loses the heart. If you put your desires in the external you put your heart into that. The thing is that we are complete being in essence whom chase external constructs and goals dictated by the limited mind.

The way of the tao, the narrow way of jesus, the straight path of the quran, the middle way of buddha, all speak about the same state of being and sacred texts are boats carrying the individual who finds oneself in the shore of forgetfulness and blind to the shore of the eternal and of rememberance of his true essencial being that is life and truth and we venerate the eternal living spirit that gives us life and that is life

100%, sex is boring especially when you don't love the woman don't care about her and just want to nut, also majority of women are npc cunts and get turned off by basic fetishes like foot fetish, cosplay, light bdsm etc.

That bliss that eternal is emanating radiating vibrating giving loving complete. That is the true essence of the individual. The lotus of the heart, the angel of the heart, the messenger within, the christ within, the divine spark that is life eternal. But man has become a consumer. And it is consuming the spirit that gives life. Is consuming the earth and is consuming one s own heart and of the others. Is like the whirlpool started revolving in the opposite way for so long that it become normalized. The energy vortex become opposed because of the attitude of the individual. A eternal being becomes a consumer, so the whirlpool changes direction. Forgets his essence. And identifies oneself with death. Becomes death and dies. Death is the ego and the corrupted mind which dissapears at death. And then the heart burdened with desire once reincarnates to fulfill that same desire. If the desire of being reborn for compassion of others is born in the heart then one may expect saints reincarnating to help and guide too. That . One either follows the way of the eternal life becoming the eternal or follows the external constructs that are like corral lines like cattle or ones owns desires and whims like a dog chasing his own tail, the tales or histories and fake goals of the finite mind whom becomes hubristics instead of being one with the spirit.

The yoga or religion is the act of reuniting with one own spirit and be complete again. The external desire is the enemy. Because by proclaiming one needs of this or that experience or construct to attain bliss one is selling the bliss within at low price. I had attained states of satori sometimes and felt that jhanna or bliss or svaha and the bodhi. But for following the desires or the dramas of the mind I abandon that peace. That is the true meaning of islam, it is an internal state of peace, and abandoning islam is abandoning that state of being, that internal peace. I sell that peace at low price. Be better. Be thankful.
