pawel adam baranski:
I experienced awakening 2 years ago, and sice then life is meaningless to me, because i know it's just a dream, not a real life.
I don't have friends, i usually don't talk with people, because even though i'm no awaken right now, i know that these things don't give me happiness of any kind - they just make me feel less miserable. For past 2 years i was moving in dark, trying to find path to awakening, unsuccessfully.
Week ago i started to meditate, with great success.
But my ego is in awful state - i feel great loneliness and misery, i feel that whole world is dissapointed with me. When i'm free from illussions, that doesn't matter; but as fast i progress forward, as fast i fall down.
Once illussions become my reality, life is awful. Meditation and enlightenment seems to be illussion, and i'm unable to clear my mind and meditate, hence i'm unable to progress and leave this state. I feel that i should drop these thing and start *normal* life. Sometimes i just want to kill myself.
I'm looking for some aid for those bad times - what should i do? I was told to concentrate on some certain object, since i'm unable to clear my mind.
And don't get me wrong; i'm not seeking life of "empty island" or whatever to call it - once i reach certain state, everything is joyful.
But below this state nothing brings joy, there is just misery and urge to lower this misery.
do you experience great loneliness and misery, all day every day?
