Yes, body-mind addiction is an epidemic, so much so that the real is taken
to be imaginary and the unreal is taken to be solid and based on fixed law.
Floating is the most guru-free self-driven way to Self-realization ever
created. LLJCL. I speak from experience not theory. But always brought
attention back the self I think I am.
That being said, Jun 23 - Jul 1, I will be doing an 8-day intensive retreat
in the tradition of Ramana Maharshi's Self-Inquiry meditation:

Without an environment of people focused on that goal, I tend to noodle
about in the astral, gain causal power and remain in loops everywhere below
the Ocean of Love and Mercy... trying to gain freedom as an individual
instead of freedom from being an individual. I've resolved to float every
day and never have managed more than 2 weeks in a row...
definitely the first thought is: "I am this body" and it is the cause of
all suffering.

The deep self is free . The deep self is not a body.The deep self is not
an ego. I believe we can know and live beyond our obstructed sensory
experience which is basically a prison created by a bodily experience.We
are not a body we are free and floating can teach us that fact. WE are
unobstructed consciousness totally complete and whole. We can live outside
the box of sensory experience and live in freedom and complete
happiness.Anyone want to agree with me or have any other ideas about how we
can train our mind to live beyond its limitations. Without a thought i am
free and thought was not.... in enjoyment it expired.
