    Contact the clinic at the Frankfurt Psychoanalytic Institute. Looks like there are lots of options for payment, including insurance possibly.

    Trust me, proper therapy (or actual analysis, which is even more dedicated and deep) takes time and effort but if you are a serious seeker it is so worth it. FAR superior to trying to do it yourself.

    I wish I had done it earlier.

    I will contact them and see what options i have, thank you.

    In what city are you located? There are often very low-fee therapy options available for students and other low-income individuals. 

    The truth is that it is worth working with someone: you will accomplish with much greater ease if you have any significant shadow work to do. 

    Other than that I also recommend metaphorization — a method I detail fully in my book — where you express your feelings by thinking of things which those feelings are like and expressing that connection, either in words in or in other artistic mediums. By investigating what you think you want, your feelings about that, your life, and everything else that bothers you, you can come to greater clarity.

    I´m located in Frankfurt. I´ll look into metaphorization. Thank you

    Well, from one standpoint, because it’s true, and not just of me, but of us all. 

    And it’s a playful way of getting seekers interested in talking, in asking their questions. 

    This too :)

    Yes, best to do shadow work through psychoanalysis and/or psychoanalytic psychotherapy (not just any therapy). 

    Thank you for your response. In the reply you linked you suggest that it is best to work with a professional. However being a student, i´m on a relatively tight budget. Would there be any other methods you could suggest?

    This is gonna be a quick rant. What is up with the bad boy attitude on this sub forum lately? I wouldn´t give it much thought if it was once or twice or something but such threads come up consistently. I mean i wouldn´t make a deal out of it if the content of the thread read "This is how i came to realize that this action x which seems immoral from a relative point of view is not actually what we think it is." But it usually reads, "Look at how i am an enlightened bad boy." I fail to see if there is any practical or spiritual value in such threads, feel free to enlighten me if you think i am wrong. Thank you.

    “You are delusional and ignorant,” is that really true? Is it in your direct experience?

    kinda ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    How are babies made?

    When a man and a woman like eachother, they find a comfortable bedroom and gently wrestle. This wrestling pleases the god of war so he rewards them by planting a baby into the womans womb.

    The absolute best practice would be high quality ego mastrubation tied with something pleasurable imo but I didn't do much myself to reach this level of ignorance.

    Yeah, but what about some books. Any recommendations? Or spiritual practices that will work?

          My dear heart, always think you are better then others. Do not listen to their sorrows with compassion. 

                    If you want peace, harbor bad thoughts, gossip and teach others what you do not know.

    The best ideology is Buddhism, because it's one of the few where they tell you it's not one !

    I recommend trying a hedonistic approach as well

    I follow the ideology of Western society, I only believe in matter and in reality which is made of matter.

    You can't go against that ideology because is true!

    It's nice that matter is matter because otherwise I would phase through my bed and i really like my sweet naps like the one I just woke up from

    @Amun For some it can take a lifetime of dedicated practice to become fully delusional. For others it seems to come naturally. Why is that?

    I didn't choose the delusional life, it chose me. But some of us have more stuff to delude themselves with so that's nice

    Who is "I"? 

    Not being able to answer this question is part of why I'm ignorant

    which methods did you use to become delusional and ignorant ? 

    I aprecciate !

    I reached this level of ignorance by telling myself that I don't have the time for other stuff nowadays but if you are a passionate seeker i suggest adhering to an ideology
