    Close your eyes, disconnet from your senses, and reopen them when you feel at peace and observe reality from your soul rather than from your sense organs. Hey, it's a start!
    God Bless -

    Try a desert or a hill and take an e pill and just breath with your throat clenched. :D Oh be with another yogi.

    You don't have to go to any certain geographical location to start your journey to enlightenment; it begins from within. It is a very long journey, but as long as you have the desire and motivation to learn, you are a step ahead of most people. And it is not really like finding yourself, everything you need is already inside you. It's just a matter of realizing that and awakening that power.

    To start, you should probably try to clear your mind of everything you think you are, and start with an empty mind. I would suggest meditation or yoga; those things always help me to forget about all outside influences and just focus on BEING. There are many different paths to enlightenment, none of them wrong or right. You must find what works for you. I wish you luck!

    Watch your own thoughts.

    Learn to feel.

    You can only find yourself where you are.

    Once you are found you will see no reason to look again.

    So is life like an illusion of duality experienced in this particular plane of existence, which is embodied through consciousness energy off into eternity?

    I started by figuring out how i work,
    like the things i do to get attention/energy or why i react to certain things,
    so basically you can start by just questioning yourself,
    except don't get too pulled into analyzing everything, thats the mistake i made and basically lost my personality for awhile... lol
    but yeah do stuff that makes you feel good and happy
    best of luck

    Ask questions about every single belief you have until you find something that is completely and totally true.

    So many techniques, teachers, products.... It boggles the mind and strains the heart.

    Just do what the word says - LIGHTEN UP.

    The real masters are hard to find and they don't much advertise. I remember good old Shlomo Carlebach, the roller skating rabbi and musician. I remember Bearheart, a Cree indian with power and my vision quest.

    Maybe try a vision quest. They are great purification.
