Hi Jed,

I feel like I’m stuck. I read people’s stories of awakening, I meditate, I contemplate but on analysis these activities at times seem to take me further away from peace because it creates a longing and a striving. The body/mind wants to speed up the process of awakening but I feel like it’s efforts actually hinder the process. If this is the case what is one to do? Should I just sit around and twiddle my thumbs and hope that I one day wake up?

Thanks

Hi Jed,

I’m 37 and this process started roughly when I was 30 after reading “The Power of Now”. Since then I’ve flirted with various bits and bobs but over the past two years I seem to have settled down with Roger Castillo who largely conveys the message of Ramesh Balsekar and more recently have been practising self enquiry methods which Gary Weber recommended (Who am I? When am I? Etc.). I ve meditated on and off for years but over the last 6 months I’ve meditated daily which definitely calms me and seems to somewhat extend into the day.

I attempt to listen to Roger through YouTube daily and meditate daily where I bring in self enquiry.

Thanks for your time

Ok so I’ll stop YouTube etc and read Nisargadatta for the next couple of months, thanks 👍

Should I stop meditating as well?

When I’ve completed two months of reading Nisargadatta can I check back in for further instruction?

Thanks
