"We are not human beings having a spiritual experience,
we are spiritual beings having a human experience."

Oh...there you are...whew.

Until you're living it, you don't get it. Reading something and saying 'i agree with that' or 'that seems to make sense' is not knowledge. With real knowledge the fake idea between these two so called sides dissolves into one process.

"intellectual understanding," for all intensive purposes regarding this type of work, is a bullshit concept. It's a way for the ego to give ourselves credit for basically doing nothing...Until you're living it, you don't get it.

... and " I know" is not the same as proof...
To know what we believe in, just check what our
real actions are.

One of the fastest ways to slash through the know-it-all self and to speed this up is to realize this: "intellectual understanding," for all intensive purposes regarding this type of work, is a bullshit concept. It's a way for the ego to give ourselves credit for basically doing nothing.

If you actually understand a concept, for example the be your own best friend one from here, you'd be actively applying it in your real life. If you believed that were the most important thing you would be *living your life as though* that were the most important thing.

The figureheads here can probably relate too well to comments like:
"I get it that giving space is super important, but [insert story showing the exact opposite of someone who believes that giving space is important]"

Until you're living it, you don't get it. Reading something and saying 'i agree with that' or 'that seems to make sense' is not knowledge. With real knowledge the fake idea between these two so called sides dissolves into one process.

Dude, thank you for writing what you did. You gave me a better understanding of my ego and what to look for. I did so much of that, read and felt good, but then it was BS (an illusion).

Anyways, appreciate the response

One can also say "I´ve heard about it"
instead of "I know."

real actions are.

"Your mind will show you what you think you value. Your actions will show you what you actually value." -Adyashanti

It's like exercising -- you will try to avoid it or rationalize it because the CNS is designed to move towards pleasure and away from pain. You ultimately run the show, though. Making it complicated is often more of a convenient way to distract-- "well, i'm thinking about it, i'm sorting it out, i'm getting a better understanding" from actually doing it.

Most of the good practices I am aware of, meditation etc are not that complicated, they just require consistent practice.

Jumping rope, doing pushups, sit ups and knee bends every day is not complicated, and it will work. Even if you are "researching the ultimate muscle growth workout," you should be doing the fundamentals and not using your research as a cop out.

they just require consistent practice.

It'll get harder before it gets easier.
