thought a thread like this might help us all with motivation and stuff :grin:

Alex is cool.  A bit too mystical for my taste but cool and his art is sweet.

I've seen that video a few times now and I always LOL a bit when he gets to the self-doubt part.  It's takes a serious skill set to accept those thoughts without being consumed by them...especially when dosed up.

As for the other one..I think it's interesting that he describes his experience as lasting for about 6 weeks.  Same as Jung's average schizo break, Jesus' 40 days, Buddha's 40 days etc etc etc.  It's always 40 days.

Gotta be something to that.

the first guy said it lasted six weeks? from my viewing i never heard that... seems to me that he entered samadhi for 4.5 hours, 7 hours, then 13 days. what do you mean by buddha's 40 days? the only 40 days i know of is with reference to jesus, because 40 was used as a symbolic number in the bible for 'a long time'.

the longest time I ever lived continuously in a state of peace/chillness was like 4 days.  But I feel like that at some point pretty much every day now, what i would have used to think of as an "enlightenment experience" is fast becoming just...life.

He says starting around minute 2 that his transformation took 6 weeks.

Seems as though there are a few different accounts of buddha's sit.  Ran a quick google search and 49 days is the magic number.

Ramana on his realization

"It was in 1896, about 6 weeks before I left Madurai for good (to go to Tiruvannamalai-Arunachala) that this great change in my life took place. I was sitting alone in a room on the first floor of my uncle's house. I seldom had any sickness and on that day there was nothing wrong with my health, but a sudden violent fear of death overtook me. There was nothing in my state of health to account for it nor was there any urge in me to find out whether there was any account for the fear. I just felt I was going to die and began thinking what to do about it. It did not occur to me to consult a doctor or any elders or friends. I felt I had to solve the problem myself then and there. The shock of the fear of death drove my mind inwards and I said to myself mentally, without actually framing the words: 'Now death has come; what does it mean? What is it that is dying? This body dies.' And at once I dramatised the occurrence of death. I lay with my limbs stretched out still as though rigor mortis has set in, and imitated a corpse so as to give greater reality to the enquiry. I held my breath and kept my lips tightly closed so that no sound could escape, and that neither the word 'I' nor any word could be uttered. 'Well then,' I said to myself, 'this body is dead. It will be carried stiff to the burning ground and there burn and reduced to ashes. But with the death of the body, am I dead? Is the body I? It is silent and inert, but I feel the full force of my personality and even the voice of I within me, apart from it. So I am the Spirit transcending the body. The body dies but the spirit transcending it cannot be touched by death. That means I am the deathless Spirit.' All this was not dull thought; it flashed through me vividly as living truths which I perceived directly almost without thought process. I was something real, the only real thing about my present state, and all the conscious activity connected with the body was centered on that I. From that moment onwards, the "I" or Self focused attention on itself by a powerful fascination. Fear of death vanished once and for all. The ego was lost in the flood of Self-awareness. Absorption in the Self continued unbroken from that time. Other thought might come and go like the various notes of music, but the I continued like the fundamental sruti note ["that which is heard" i.e. the Vedas and Upanishads] a note which underlies and blends with all other notes."

Rather than people just talking about enlightenment experiences, lets see it happen!
