Everything that defines the self such as experiences, thoughts, and even our physical appearance is ephemeral and intangible. There is no particular thing to hold on to. It's all in a state of flux.
That may seem obvious, but to conceptual thinkers like myself, experiencing non-duality (no-self) and "Thusness" (as Alan Watts calls it) is difficult. It's why I designed subliminal posters for meditating: http://zission.com http://zission.com
Here is a specific poster for nonduality http://zission.com/product/words-inside-outside/ http://zission.com/product/words-inside-outside/
- colordrops 11y agoThe text on the poster is unreadable, at least on my Galaxy S4.
- 7erb 11y agoThe words are almost transparent for a reason. When the words are hard to read, the conscious mind becomes preoccupied with the image and the message imprints directly to the unconscious. It's a technique known as Critical Factor Bypass. EDIT: This comment is becoming transparent too. Your conscious mind will ignore them because they are hard to read, but your subconscious mind is about to make a choice... about deepening your meditation... and feeling a growing sense of confidence... about buying my posters...

- 7erb 11y agoCritical Factor Bypass is a well known technique in hypnotherapy, and I could provide tons of links. That said, it's an experimental project and has been extremely beneficial for me. I thought I'd share.
- pavel_lishin 11y ago> I could provide tons of links Please do! > That said, it's an experimental project and it's been beneficial for me. I thought I'd share :) That's cool, but when you make vague claims that sound kind of like pseudo-science, you should go ahead and provide citations and links and stuff, otherwise people think you're a nutter.

The same article then goes on to say meditation and visualization techniques are used to induce trance. Zission combines both: http://zission.com http://zission.com
- j_camarena 11y ago"A ton of links" is not one. Just saying. This screams pseudoscience all over the place.
- 7erb 11y agoI said I could provide a ton of links. I didn't say I would. Just saying. And if you see my words start to fade before your eyes... they are becoming transparent... and the meaning becomes clearer... and clearer... to your subconscious mind... your deepening desire to buy a Zission poster... http://zission.com http://zission.com
- pavel_lishin 11y ago> I said I could provide a ton of links. I didn't say I would. This is exactly the kind of stuff pseudo-science wackos spew. Books are 100% judged by their covers.
