Keep it simple, sometimes I do not understand your idioms. But to be honest, it is something I read for fun (astrology) nothing serious.

Yup. almost like my favorite band

Include @zeroISinfinity he wanted to participate the other day. ?

Stop. Let’s keep this serious I am serious as hell ?. Would it not be this stupid virus, I would never mingle on forum this much, but what to do nowadays, we have to keep us preoccupied somehow.

That is exactly what I was thinking the other day, to gather all my boys ?from the previous thread and talk about mundane things ?, not like super mundane but about something that will allow my mind to rest and forget about the “nature of reality” topic!

That makes you inquire about the mysticism and enigma ?

Gather our party from the previous thread, let’s talk about it???? It’s quite simple imo, every zodiac sign is responsible for some mile stone in development, when moving up or down this spiral we can see that Aries sun sign is associated with infancy, whereas Pisces with maturity, aging and end of life. here we go, the table for you. Man, I am putting myself in trouble talking about astrology again ???

@abrakamowse I was flirting too much in another thread, so I am grounded ????

Probably done it more than a million times already

You are not alone.... I am on 186 right now. So you are my book buddy, I guess. Sommie (@Someone here), is going to b..ch at me right now that I am derailing the thread again.... so we need to stay on topic. No Ralston anymore. Sorry about it. P.S.I hope you are proud of me, Sommie.

@Someone here Space awareness can be developed when you're contemplating the source of consciousness, it is this space inside of you, prior to any thought, feeling, sensation. When the focus of consciousness is turned back to Itself. Object awareness is when the content of your consciousness is completely corrupted by the objects or feelings, images or sensations. When you start to explore consciousness instead of form, you realize that your consciousness only appears to be small and limited because you are focusing on small and limited objects. When you "pull back", it's expending. It is easy to miss because we are highly consumed with our mind and its activity. (Hubby told me today that he was not aware of that space, which is weird to me because I am aware of this space quite often). You do not have to be an enlightened being to see "it", it is quite natural. I guess that is why so many people talk about the benefits of meditation. Because it teaches you how to rest in your awareness.

I understand what you are talking about. I am scared of flying, for example. What I was trying to tell you is that when you fall asleep you completely forget everything. So even if you are scared that you would never wake up, that fear is prior... while you are awake, right? As soon as you are asleep nothing to worry about. the one who was scared has gone. Fear is irrational, but still when rooting yourself in the present moment it subsides a bit.Developing space awareness vs subject awareness is our solution.

I am halfway through, it took him 170 pages to come straight to a point what the self is ,which is annoying quite frankly. He is a bit too detail-oriented for me. But hey, I have two more books to go to finish his trilogy...so can not b..ch about it.

I am reading it too now )

What is it to be so scared about? You do it every night, falling asleep and forgetting yourself, no guarantees that you will wake up. It is scary for the ego, as soon as you forget yourself and your" little drama", you're gone....you die every night. I always wake up with this feeling of being amazed how this reality pops up in front of you every morning, and just for about a sec or two, before being really awake I never remember myself. It takes a second to remember, for the memory to return back. This fascinates me.

"I am done, ask me anything" is pretty popular too

?

@JessiChell You're welcome! Good luck.

I loved this video because it has answered some of my questions, nothing new, ofc. Read two of his books. One peculiarity though... when he is talking about "falling below" thinking, that borderline state between being awake and falling asleep. This state of consciousness has always fascinated me. when realized, I am trying to hold it as much as I can, but when doing it, always waking up. This is my little meditation.

Stems from your childhood and preciously, it is all about the relationships with your mom and dad. Are you parents divorced, together, what pattern do you have in your family, roles and leaderships...etc. do the shadow work with a counselor.

I finished that book couple of weeks ago too. On understanding men? Try "Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus" by Gray. I read it probably ten years ago.... The book that impacted my vision of the relationships was "Love, Freedom, Aloneness: The Koan of Relationships" Osho. I would recommend, perfect guide to freedom and independence. Teaches how to accept and love yourself, how not to cling to your partner. I think that book has transformed me a lot. Also, "The Essential Difference" or "He's Just Not That Into You"

@Johnny5, @Inliytened1, @justfortoday (hope I did not forget anyone here) I do surely appreciate your emotional support. Emotion has gone, I am fine. I promise. Just needed to talk it out! Let's get back on track with solipsism topic. I am sorry for derailing your topics. Love you guys endlessly and so lucky to have this forum in my life. Lots of friendly hugs to each of you!

@Inliytened1sure, but when you guys saying that I don’t need anyone to awake it hurts as hell! ☹️ If I didn’t need you I wouldn’t be here. but if I am here it’s because I need emotional support. do you think I talk about this topic to regular people? where else I can discuss it if not here? ofc, the major audience on this forum are males. I love you guys a lot but you need to learn how we ,females ,need emotional support, not just ready made answers. Oh man, I sound like a drama queen today!?

Thanks, I do appreciate your feedback. I thought you and couple other people here got angry with me because we started to joke around couple of days ago with @Someone here . I don’t know maybe I said something inappropriate that sounded like sarcasm. I am trying to say how I feel. However, I realize that because of this media and lack of facial expressions, people can read my messages as being sarcastic. It is a bit upsetting because this is unusual to my personality. I don’t use sarcasm in real life. I am very straightforward. Plus sarcasm is a form of a passive aggression . This forum is all I have. ❤️ If I lose you guys, I will probably go crazy on my own. ☹️☹️☹️☹️ This community is very important to me. I don’t check other media as much as I check this forum. so please for God sake don’t take everything so seriously! Don’t read between the lines, don’t add more meaning where it is not necessarily.
