@tsuki thanks man ? it seems as though I’ve done the shadow work up until a certain point. May be best I rattle my cage productively in the future (in action) as this video suggests however I know it is going to be hell (seems this could be a useful acceptance approach). My triggered subconscious absolutely destroys situations I fear to be uncertain I don’t see any other option than to expect pain or at least anticipate it and see how possible it is to work through it. That last part you wrote holds a lot of value thanks again, surely I’ll be back with more projections

@Gabriel Antonio don’t believe anything man, think for yourself. Figure out what is reality and who you are...the truth will become quite evident. Caught up on beliefs? Figure out what is a belief. Figure out what is a distinction and who you are etc i share with you my evidence and perspective which will be forever changing. Don’t be rude I didn’t wish to debate. I don’t even know who ralph smart is...I’m actuallg a fan of Krishnamurti as he goes against all religion and authority in general to push people to really “think for themselves, learn from themselves in daily life”

@ivankiss omg the other week I had something similar occur. I was literally tripping completely sober. I’ve had shrooms once in my life years ago before spirituality and this SEEING was of the equivalent. At one point I had been driving a car so I Kept pulling myself out of it but any chance I had a break, went right back into the trip it was all brought on by intuitive being as well!

@hariseldon74 ?❤️ Let me mention this feels like a big ego backlash and I’ve been diagnosed with bipolar long ago so it’s strange having the sort of onrush of emotions it’s been a while since I have fed and identified with so many thought stories, it became so consuming

@jbram2002 I believe she was taken advantage of to an extent especially by her own kids and then she’d erupt on her man whenever he wasn’t doing something to help

When it becomes detrimental to oneself and loved ones then it is the issue. Suppressed emotions and not delegating responsibilities is the issue

She put others needs before her own always

Had to think about this..I don’t know. I judged her as being too nice to the point of being taken advantage of

@tsukiwhat do you think? Is it possible to bypass shadow work and looking at past memories by understanding thought-self? And understanding psychological time?

For most of my adult life I’ve used distractions/escapes to cope with my pain. My relationships have been the biggest source of pain. One memory I recall after my mother left my dad, we my bro and I were visiting him as young teenagers on one of his weekends. My mom came to get us and she’d already been living with another guy for years and my dad and her just went into his bedroom and shut the door assuming we were distracted. I couldn’t even call them out on her cheating and I didn’t even know how to see it.

I’ve been cultivating a lot of anger recalling old memories. I was spoiled by my mother and my parents separated. I had a childhood living in my own world of distractions from their fighting. I grew up to have 0 respect for my mother. I still remember the one time my mom slapped me I was probably around 14-15 and she may have saw my father in me. I became reliant on her in life. Eventually hate turned onto my dad when I was finally able to see him for who he is. Controlling narcissistic ignorant alcoholic stubborn military man unable to form deep friendships sadness is overwhelming me now. I’ve realised I Don’t respect myself

It becomes a cycle of shame judgement resentment insecurity and isolation something like this.. edit: guilt as well

@mandyjw how come people never relies when they are shaming? Is the self shamed always the shamer?

I’ve probably been shamed but it seems it’s hard to recognize as it usually comes from myself. I’ll often find myself tip toeing on egg shells in life.

@Flatworld Crusadesthis thread

This is where it gets tricky because there are different perspectives. From the absolute persp, yes without a child there could be no molesting, so that’s what is. From your perspective there is no outside world without an inside one. No experience without the experiencer, no perceiver without the perceived. No thought without the thinker etc

@Gabriel Antonio hello my friend. Okay so to clarify: We are NOT responsible for the thoughts and emotions we experience. But we can take responsibility in understanding why we have them and figure out the underlying causes (beliefs and assumptions) and see the consequences in those patterns of thoughts and emotions. This can be referred to as exploring thought-self in relation to nature of thought, shadow work, emotional maturity and even epistemology. I would recommend watching Teal Swan to gain a new perspective on the mind Self evidence is what I use but there are many holistic psychologists and psychoanalytic practices who would agree. Imporant note: I think it is important not to take all evidence you read as fact to believe/assume to be true but see if it is true in direct experience

Hahaha oh yea you think and feel youre in the game but the consol is indestructible and if it’s YOU then look how silly this all becomes All right now take this back ?

Yeah loved it on rogan. Incredible transformation however it seems he’s almost got a vendetta against all activities in relation to his old self it’s blinding his perception and could be worth integrating

sorry actually I threw my journal out or hid it rather. It was mostly “pictures of god” not sure it is possible to revive but maybe I’ll rebuild it sometime i was using sarcasm to perry your metaphysical bs excuse @Shin but you’re totally right: the shield is you and you can’t actually stop yourself ?

Oh How i refuse to believe! However I mustn’t let fear and ignorance win. Thanks ?

Hadn’t been jogging in a while (maybe a week) and when I did, simply the sensation of my body jogging felt completely foreign. Had thoughts like *holy fuck, is this who I am?*

I will but what might I expect if I may ask (talking better sleep quality or clear mind?)

@Shin maybe you’re fearful of being boring AF i don’t sure what metaphysical love is precisely...maybe love for metaphysics @now is forever thank you sometimes I feel shame in relation to my own peculiarity (or rather how I see myself, and how I see how others might see me)

Can’t tell if this is sarcasm. Just did some investigation into frequencies the other day and it’s frightening
