  1. Yeah, I want to screenshot that, I have low self-esteem at the moment
  2. You cant decide to be anyone! If you think youre faking it then youre still you but with a fake twist. Just keep doing what youre doing. Again... You cant be anything but you...
  3. Christianity has been demonizing other religions and philosophies for 2000 years. Nothing new here. Even a peaceful Zen monk is an evil hound from hell.
  4. Think Ive been there for about 2 months... It just hit me now... Thoughts have been coming up like •It used to be so much fun to meditate, •I feel frightened, Im losing my marbles •my mind is not calm at all anymore, •my technique is/has become real shitty should i change it? •whats even the point of meditation, maybe i should just quit for good BUT! Power through it and youll find power through it
  5. I am aware of it but its not what I think of as me, like for example, I could be having a song (which is also thought) in my head, that song is not me, Im aware of the song Okay I see, Ive heard that before many times but I dont really know how to disidentify with thought...
  6. Now that I look... I cant really find one... its a mindfuck... I dont really know... self-honesty is difficult I know it can snowball, thats why Im trying to practice really letting thoughts go, I have alot of experience with anxiety/neurotic thoughts so I have had a little pratice I havent seen that its illusory, only thats its not “me”, what do you mean by illusory?
  7. Daily meditation 30 mins a day at best about 10% random mindful observation throughout the day
  8. Sounds intriguing... Im down for some woo woo energy stuff??✋?⚡️
  9. Yes and no. I know alot but obviously its very tricky so theres always more to learn. One year of daily meditation is a good start though. Like I said before Ive noticed recently how it wanders from fears to regular everyday thoughts so in a sense thats a comfort. Fear comes and goes and I remain.
  10. Meditation is self-knowledge for me, thats the time when I can sit back and watch how the mechanisms work. How to not “use” the monkey mind? Its always there even if I focus on my breath, it always returns eventually.
  11. Hm... interesting... What Ive noticed in myself is that the thoughts always start with a “negative” emotional energy in my stomach... Perhaps Im just reacting to that energy. When my mind wanders off to think about something else the enegy dissipates... it goes up and down... just thoughts and emotions... what else is there... Thank you??
  12. What do you mean? Should i try it? Dont know much about it
  13. The ego is not a thing, its an idea, how can an idea be an entity.
  14. Yeah Actualized has acting up lately... site freezes after 5 mins
  15. ? wow... youre right... im on it?
  16. To get inspirational ideas for writing/music/lyrics! Do you my fellow user have any techniques to share for uncovering hidden treasures of memory?
  17. Mindfulness is the key for understanding and letting go of resistance! Start a daily habit and youll see!
  18. Day 8, havent felt any spasms in my gummyworm yet, feeling hopeful
