How do I become a taoist immortal?

You don't

>>19038094
Find God. Become soulmates with him.

>>19038094
Where have you heard of such?

Master your own mind.

The answer is always more meditation.

>>19038094
Believe that you are one and you will find your way.

The farther you are from a taoist immortal, the harder your journey will start. Good chance you will find yourself as a fool. This is a good thing.

Who wants to be immortal, anyway?

>>19038094
Be one with the tao
Feel it but don't look for it
It's a self discovery journey that only those who walks the path knows

>>19038143
This cannot be stressed enough. The Key is within. Why do you think society conditions us to focus on the external world?

>>19038094
I would assume via Taoism.

Isn't meditation the biggest waste of time ever? I've tried to get started many times through out my life, but with no success. But a few months ago I quitted drinking, drugs and nikotine. Even coffee. And now this thread gives me the idea to try again, but I can't get over what I said about wasted time. If you could convince me otherwise, I would be grateful. Sorry for bad English, my mind is very tired.

There is no such thing as wasted time. I can see your focus is in past or present. What was done, what could be done, what should be done, what needs to be done. That's a lot of worrying to be done, friend.

You live on a timeline, and your focus is on the whole line. Meditation is to bring your focus on to the center of this line. The point, and only the point.

I would like to hear from you anon: how is it possible to waste time? Time has no inherent value. It is everywhere. Time is what you choose to make it.

There's a reason why we "pay attention" to something. Focus is a valuable resource.

>>19038531
I have no thought about the things you say. But, nothing is happening while you meditate. You do not manipulate the physical world. But I guess that is meaningless of course. It's just hard to let go.
>>19038584
Why is that?

Really interested in your answers, will read in the morning if there will be any more of those. Take care

>>19038430
Meditation has been shown to re-wire your brain in beneficial ways.

>>19038609
I enjoy writing and that feels meaningful. Meditation does not feel meaningful. But I'm sure that it actually is, and I would like to have the perspective that is needed to perceive it as such.

>>19038609
Why do you need to interact with anything at all? All things come to rest eventually. May as well do it temporarily and enjoy the benefits.

>>19038584
It's a valuable resource, so learn to use it in all possible ways. It's like using a pencil and ignoring the eraser.

Something to do with mercury poisoning I guess?

Fuck it, just roll with the Tao and live a good life.

>>19038094
Come to terms that you are mortal.
