Major Insight... My overthinking is probably what causes 70% of my Social Anxiety, I realized if I keep myself mindful of my own negative thoughts and how false they are I feel much calmer in social situations. "Oh what are they thinking about me" "Oh wait, thats just a thought, let it go" Its so important to look at what it is ACTUALLY happening in the present moment. Your mind can create stories out of completely insignificant situations. A random girl didnt look at you just now? Oh no, that must mean somethings wrong? No... look at what actually happened, SHE DIDNT LOOK AT YOU, THATS ALL! Rest is just stories on top.

Yeah, basically like, What Is Sleep? or something like that would be cool

i think its possible that you imagine they hurt you and you feel the pain as if it as if it was 100% real, if you took something like Datura

is not a dream per say, its like a dream, big difference

like the others said, balance, if youre too serious youll become neurotic and depressed, too laidback and youll probably die or become homeless

yes, great video! i know a person ive hated deeply since childhood, time to start doing some forgiveness :}

from a self-inquiry Im not "behind my head" or my "visual field" Im a everywhere in the body, the visual field is just one aspect of myself that Ive fixated upon so hard that I think I am that, but if I look closely I can see that I exist everywhere in the body but in different sensations and flavours. this insight was accompanied by a feeling of adrenaline, bliss and a weird sense of floatiness... this is a very fresh out of the oven hot baked bread insight, if anyone wants to clear it up for me or tell me Im wrong, please do

im more than fine haha...

how sad... and irresponsible...

the amount of trolling, clickbaiting and conspiracy has increased tremendously on this forum the past year, i wonder why

yes, then it ended

CG Kid is pretty legit, saw a recent video where he talks about mindfulness and finding happiness in reality itself or something like that, seems to be getting into spirituality a little bit.

We cant know because were not them. All you can know is the limited bubble that you are.

when in doubt throw it out

The mind is a concept, it doesnt exist as a "thing", what exists is the phenomema of thoughts and images as they are, if you want to lump the two together and call it mind thats fine but there is no "container". I think the idea of a mind as a container comes from our materialist idea of separating body, mind and an outside world, but in reality they are all interlinked.

What is a thought made of? Scientists would say the neurons make the thought but what is the thought itself made of, in your direct experience? Is it material? Is it immaterial? Is it neither? Have fun!

made in 2003 psychedelic/nature/ documentary

dont feed the troll

Watched this this morning, one of the fundamental videos for Consciousness Work imo.

We had to go through those steps to get to where we are today, we needed to taste brutal power so we could get independence from the tribe. Otherwise we would still be living in the jungle in loincloth. Also "start" is relative, you started at the best possible place for you... in your opionion, in a 1000 years "you" will look back at Stage Green and think how barbaric it was.

Self-Bias and Self-Righteousness, of course they think they care about the environment, theyre the good guys, just like you are...

Isnt that relative? A baby could be seen as high-level from the perspective of a pebble. If you started out as Buddha you would think why wasnt I born as someone more conscious than Buddha.

Thats how high stress is interpreted by the mind. You can do this man, Im sure theres something beautiful on the other side of the fear.

Panic doesnt cause heart attacks unless youre already very fragile, the body is made to withstand its own stress hormones, I know it feels horrible in the moment though.
