So many powers lie dormant in you waiting to be awoken! Why do you keep putting them to sleep?
"If you want to be fully alive, keep on wanting to make progress for as long as possible. So many powers lie dormant in you waiting to be awoken! Why do you keep putting them to sleep? You meet people who at only fifty or sixty, or even younger, already seem dead and buried. Yes, you can even see the gravestone over them, with ‘Here lies so-and-so’ written on it. Why is that?

Even if you are tired, even if old age is close, you should tell yourself there is always progress to be made, something to understand, something to undertake, and never accept torpor and stagnation. Even if you are paralysed or dying, there are still things to be done… if it’s only thanking heaven."

What powers do you speak of? And how does one go about awakening them?

Could you expand further on what you mean?

For many it's easier to stay inside their nest of boxes than to even look out, let alone break out and search for the unknown.

Re: So many powers lie dormant in you waiting to be awoken! Why do you keep putting them to sleep?
I keep hearing about infinite powers all the time and I want to believe this but...

No one seems to know what he's talking about nor has reached these powers. If you had reached them, you would have thrown away all the politics, lifted the veil upon secrects and deceivers and settled world peace just by thinking of it, wouldn't you?

I'm not trolling your thread I just want to understand. Everyone speaks of limitless powers of the brain but who really unlocked them? And how?

I know part of the answer about the How but seriously, who can seriously "ascend", "evolve", etc in such a situation. How can one realize this and know his true self (which seems to be a long and complicated process) when he has to work to pay the bills, deal with his daily life and problems, avoid being too much poisoned etc.

About this last one. So far I understand the body is a vessel to reach these unlimited powers and reunite with oneness when used properly (what is properly btw? method?)
But when you get poisoned since your birth so that you never can reach your next evolution level how can you make sure you'll ever make it?

The more I'm into this (4 years +-) the crazier I become because I see nothing happening to me but now have consciousness that I'm a crazy fool living among other crazy nuts. Unfortunately this doesn't make me a super human. It just changed me into a pessimistic party pooper who sees sheeps and a decadent society everywhere.

So my question OP, how do you wake your dormant powers?

And please I need a real answer, not a vague new age formulation about my Ego and mother nature. I know all this.

Thank you

And you'd think the OP having infinite power would have the power to grant infinite power to those who he exhorts towards infinite power but he didn't so how much power does he have exactly?

Here's the most amazing power of all, and it's right thre with you all the time if you can only remember to experience it.

Ready?

Are you aware of your body? Then you are not your body, because you are aware of it, separately from "you."

Are you aware of your thoughts? Then you are not your thoughts, because you are aware of them, separately from "you."

Are you aware of your feelings? Then you are not your feelings, because you are aware of them, separately from "you."

So "you" are not your body, thoughts or feelings. You only experience them - but you are not them.

Go over this. Again and again. Sit quietly. When a body experience comes up, think... "nope, not me." When a thought comes up, think... "nope, not me." When a feeling comes up, think... "nope, not me."

Obviously I amd saying "think" because words are limited. But you know what I mean - become aware of these obvious truths about these things. Stay calm, keep doing it... and after awhile, the most amazing experience of yourself will arise....

THAT Thou Art.

It would be nice if the power of self control would awaken in the masses.

Interesting.

My question is: isn't the right path straight to the nuts house?
I mean if you keep asserting to yourself "I'm not me I'm just experiencing a body and thoughts and.."
Isn't there a risk of becoming a de-personalized schizo?

(ps: that's already how I feel as I read many Krishnamurti books and have conscious that all "this" is conditioning, an illusion meant to deceive you.
But yet nothing comes out of this and I just feel out of society most of the time. Plus I feel like an hypocrite when I have to deal withthis society as I have to work and pay the bills and be this fake person I don't want to be anymore)
