  1. Has anyone noticed that they create a whole new set of problems the further down the spritual path they go? I am in the process of looking at my thoughts and understanding them to be irrelevant. But at the same time I have noticed that I create a set of dysfunctional behaviours that co-exist alongside my deepening sense of freedom. I've noticed that the less bothered I become about strict behaviours like constant politeness, organization, friendliness, the usual mind games that people need to play in order to "get along" in life, the more I seem to offend others and make others resentful at me because I'm just not minding these petty survival behaviours anymore. I find them irrelevant, unnecessary and detrimental to my sense of well being. I'm just not as interested in playing the game of life as much as I used to be because I see how much suffering is involved in keeping up these facades. I've actually become a lot more accepting , accomodating, embracing of others and my own faults but in doing so I find strangely that it's backfiring on me. I'm finding that a lot of people would prefer that I didn't love and accept my and their whole being as it is, and they would actually prefer me to hold them to the conditional standards. Any insight to share?
  2. Brilliant! Whatever judgements arise outside of your control is not your problem. Thanks for your comment, this site is a goldmine
  3. Really? I never heard that before . Interesting
  4. There is a lot of meaning in your statement and very little curiosity and wonder. Can you get a glimpse that this relying too much on the intellect is the problem?
  5. Perhaps it's the believing in these kinds of ideas is the problem?
  6. @Preety_India Thanks for posting. I didn't know about this video. Very helpful.
  7. I didn't read it. I took one look at the wall of text and went back to my stillness. Sorry
  8. You can do a vitamin c flush at the onset of a cold, flu, viral infection and it will solve the issue. Basically you will flush out the virus before it has a chance to develop into a full blown illness. If you're unfortunate enough to be bitten by a snake or poisonous spider it will save your life. A guy back in the 60's deliberately tested 10 grams of it against a black widow bite and survived. If you have dental work done it's a good idea to take some afterwards because lots of toxins get into the bloodstream (which is why you can feel bad after dental work). You can use it in high doses to do a heavy metals detox. It basically purifies your blood by donating electrons caused by free radical damage. They are thinking about using it after courses of chemotherapy to reduce the side effects.
  9. @LfcCharlie4 Loads. I might do a post on it soon.
  10. @fridjonk Yeah because the whole point of fasting is to stop metabolizing food. So as soon as you eat or drink something (except water) you break the fast. I'm assuming you're doing it for autophagy?
  11. The easiest route is to just question all you think you know. When I last spoke to you I got the impression that you had a need to try to box everything into a large mental framework, otherwise you will loose sight of what's real. Nothing is real - not as a finite philosophical absolute, it's just not real (graspable) it's more interesting and majestic than you can ever get your language based mind around. You might go through a few moments of anxiety/terror but you will come out the end with a new sense of wonder about life and be able to enjoy your own subjectivity, like children do.
  12. That's the one. The benefits are endless. Please let us know how you got on
  13. @trenton Im finding life a lot more beautiful and mysterious the less I pretend I know what's going on. I'm thinking at the moment that what I believe I know is just the past being projected onto what is and distorting it.
  14. @trenton I don't think you have to love yourself, you just have to stop hating yourself, or at least for now notice that you're hating yourself and let that go. I noticed that the days when I hate myself the least my dreams at night are much nicer, the characters in my dream support me, love me..so I figured that the characters in the dream are me. They punish me when I punish myself in my waking life, and the support me when I stop hating myself so much in my waking life. I'm starting to think the characters in my waking life are also me because they are beginning to act differently towards me the less I hate myself. Don't let this freak you out lol.
  15. He's right. Just stop pretending you know because knowing is resistance. Acceptance always seems to be there when you are able to let go of knowing. For me it sounds like the way he's wording it is problematic and it's causing you confusion.
  16. @LfcCharlie4 I highly recommend that you try snorting a tiny bit of sodium ascorbate into both nostrils. Don't be tempted to use ascorbic acid because it's too acidic, try to find sodium ascorbate and please give it a go. If it works for you then please write a comment to let everyone know about it. An 8th to a quarter of a gram should be enough.
  17. Feeling much better about not knowing who I am and who others are. It kind of let's the thoughts and behaviours be there and they don't seem negative anymore. I guess I'm continuing to do what feels good. Knowing doesn't feel great for me, so I try not to pretend I know much about anything, or even who I am. I feel I'm more than anything the mind can make out. The mind is limiting and doesn't allow for free expression. Thanks, very helpful
  18. Yeah, I've noticed that once I've created a grievance about something, I look for others to support it because I want to feel "normal" and that my judgement is a sign of being a 'proper' human being. Those guys out there are not proper human beings, how can a human being say or do such a rotten thing to me or others? I need someone to support me when I decide who's right and who's wrong, those who are with me are obviously right and proper people, and those against me there is obviously something wrong with them. But I just noticed with your @Nahm that I'm creating a similar story now, because I'm better than those who don't get upset. I'm continuing to create separation lines between being spiritual and being unconscious. This doesn't feel good, so it can't be true. I should go with what feels good. But how do I learn how to stay out of trouble? People want to recruit me into their in group. That's how people work. So im back to square one again making judgements about making judgements. @VeganAwake +1 no, this self is still here @Barna +1 @Gnosis +1
  19. @gar-4-field @gar-4-field Go spend time with people who think they know all there is to know about life and then observe how you feel around them
  20. Thanks for commenting because this is the main thing I'm going through lately. In my mind society is constructed to serve itself, not the individual members. The whole thing is geared towards sustaining itself. This sounds kind of extreme but i don't mean it to come across this way, but society is a cult, and if you don't play by the rules then you're out. It's really that simple. Her job as a therapist (and she isn't doing this on purpose) is to make you a functioning member of the cult by adopting a conditioning that's right for the cult. Your job is to contribute to the detriment of your own genuine self esteem by making you think that self worth is achieved by doing something they call "worthwhile"
  21. This is a little bit more nuanced than what @IJB063 has been trying to assert. For me it shows a more thoughtful approach than just relying on data and narrow minded theories like genetic selection. But even what you said here is partial because there are a vast amount of women dating very immature guys but who look great. We really can't pinpoint this thing down to a few causes. There is something greater going on, but I've noticed that the human mind has this need to reduce reality to a handful of ideas that it can handle.
  22. Well maybe I'm not the right person for you to be talking to? If you are bored then you should take that you are speaking to somebody who can't live up to your intellectual standards and just move on
  23. It sounds to me as if you're here to win an argument rather than explore your assumptions about the fact that you think that muscles make you more attractive and that studies done to try to support theories of biological genetic selection are to be taken as reliable statements of fact. The point is that there is obviously a lot more going on than just good looks, and I think you're here to tell everyone how it is because you are invested in whatever research you have done concerning the subject. I don't personally feel you're in the right place for an open minded discussion that would make you me and others grow. I think you're here to defend what you think you think is right.
  24. Are you just here to win arguments?
