Try to find something that is not consciousness.

The emotional content is not the same. A belief comes with attachement and a sort of arrogance for it to be right. Faith on the other hand is a desire for what is true regardless of the outcome. Faith leads to investigation, Belief leads to dogma.

@undeather You can very well get to a point where you are as confortable alone as you are with other people without enlightenment. Just acknowledging that ego of yours and taking ownership of it goes a long way.

That's entertaining ?

Loneliness isn't a real thing you only think that. Being with people and being alone is no different.

You keep the question as long as you don't have an answer or until the question becomes irrelevant due to deeper realizations. @Lento Yeah You could also switch things around I don't know.

I bought a book from the Isha foundation with a bunch of recipes and there's Chili and other "negative pranic food" in them. There's a coherence probleme here. I don't know what to do with that but in my experience the problem I would see with those food is linked to digestion not the nervous system.

Mushrooms, meditation and books

You're thinking way too hard about it. I know that it might not make sens for you right now but the best thing you could do is drop that whole story that you just wrote and go socializing with zero expectations. Just be yourself for God's sake! Even if you adopte some behavior that will attract people in the short terme you still won't be fulfilled. Be yourself and the right people will show up in your life. Now the trick is to actually be yourself. It's not that easy when you're stuck in thought loops of lack. But I think your main focus should be this instead of trying to fake it just so you can attract people. Much love?

By dropping the fear of going back into this darkness. By embracing the existence of this darkness. It's soooo counter-intuitive.

Depends what your confort zone is. Only you know. Highly individualized process.

If you identify with yourself then what is the thing that's being depersonalized? It's not a trick question.

It's not about raising Self-esteem or becoming this or that. It's about removing the nonsense that keeps you from being who you are. Who you are might come off as having self esteem or being confident but at that point there's no need for such silly idea. Be true that's all. People will say that you come off as confident but it won't be the case you will only be yourself.

Do you really know? How would you know if you knew? What is suffering really? You say you don't want to suffer why is that? You say suffering is the way, how do you know?

Who do you identify with if you don't identify with yourself?

@Leo Gura Amen?

You can't keep a habit because you don't know what you want from life. If you want to be healthy and you are definit about it then it is only logical that you would eat healthy. VISION. Why do you want your place to be clean? Is it because you love a clean environment or do you feel like you should because x and y?

@The Don I feel like Leo should do whatever he wants to because I think working to please people is going to diminish his contribution greatly. Passion leads to much better quality. If it doesn't suite you that's alright? I personally love where he is taking actualized.org so there's an audience for spirituality also I suppose. There's already enough PD content on his channel for you and i to integrate for the next decade so... How about the shoulds episode? ?

I experimented a bit with 4-Aco I think it's worth the try go for it! Very similar to mushrooms indeed.

To me that's a non-issue. Focus on your growth instead of bickering about minusa. Nobody is holding or forcing you to do or think anything here. This forum is a nice resource not the end all be all.

What is it?

You talk about it like you know what will happen. You don't. And you won't know until you know.

Yep totally normal don't worry?

My advice would be for you to not get caught in the vegan VS meat eater war. It is a gross waste of time. Try it, if it works, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't. But keep in mind that it is going to be a matter of years of trial and errors before you figure out what works. Personnaly I haven't touched a piece of meat or dairy in 2years and my mind is sharper than ever. I do eat eggs sometimes but not a part of my day to day diet.

Thank you for your concern bro that's love right there
