This is the « enlightenment». The sence of superiority, you often see in alot of gurus is from their inate narcissism. That is they feel a need to protect their « self image». This man has no ego to protect, and has the ability to empatise with others. So his humor and good nature makes others come to him for wisdom. But it never came easy to him, in his book « in love with the world» he talk about his anxity and struggle as a young man on his path to become a munk. And the pressure he feelt, from beeing a descendent from a lineage of patriarcal Munks in Tibet

Somehow I doubt it, there is some data showing long-term meditators have shorter (more efficient) sleep cycles. He probably needs less sleep and still has more energy than most. I think the association between calmness and sleepiness arises from the fact that most people with modern lifestyles are chronically sleep-deprived; as soon as they start to slow down, the fatigue begins to catch up. Sleep is basically a biological mechanism to heal from the damage you incur from wakefulness. The more you meditate, the less of this damage you incur, because there is significantly less self-related drama.

Sometimes it's like this (10%), sometimes it's just a blackout (90%). When you manage to maintain your awareness, it feels like one part of your brain is functioning while other parts are sleeping and I can get what happened only retrospectively. Like wow, I was conscious and sleeping at the same time.

@isaquedopao6667 11 ай бұрын

it could help, but i would personnaly record these nightmares to be able to identify their differences to real life, and then tell myself to identify these differences before bed, and if you are able to identify them inside a nightmare you can realise you are dreaming and wake yourself up, or explore your dream world. Although i would recommend doing a reality check like pinching your nose and trying to breathe to see if it truly is a dream. btw it's called lucid dreaming
