The observer

@Ibn Sina i think you are partially correct and partially not. yes you cannot be enlightened with an agitated mind but if you put yourself in other peoples shoes you realize that the state of agitated mind is relative and some people experience more agitation than serenity due to forcing positive thinking. you experience peace of mind through positive thinking and thats great but from their point of view its extremely difficult to find peace of mind without letting themselves think that way even though they dont have to act that way and they usually dont. if i understand correctly your point is that everyone should only think positively but the reality is that not everyone is capable of that. also notice theres a distinction between thought and action. those people are not bad people we have to understand that thought is completely out of our control and by trying to force control over them we create resistance and therefore suffering. this is very different from acting on the thoughts. again people who experience those thoughts are genuinely good people so who are we to judge them. they need our help and understanding and thats what osho was offering.

i agree with osho. some people experience compulsive negative thoughts that they cant rid themselves of like pedophile or even homicide thoughts. take a look here www.quora.com/Is-the-desire-to-carry-out-a-murder-considered-a-mental-disorder and here iocdf.org/expert-opinions/expert-opinion-violent-obsessions/ of course im not justifying neither supporting these things but the point is that they exist. in which case it would be difficult to simply resist them and think positively and those people are usually highly moral and therefore experience deep confusion anxiety and suffering due to resisting their selves. osho is pointing people to go inwards because there the thoughts have no power over you and whether you think positively or negatively becomes irrelevant. hes basically saying be and accept who you are whatever you are cause good things can only stem from love and acceptance.

hats off to her i heard shes also a doctor may she be blessed and protected. doctors right now are the bravest people on earth we all owe her and them our lives. theyre soldiers made of pure love.

@Osaid i understand your desire to help him but whatever he believes does not matter here because hes causing harm by keeping on antagonising a person who shares her picture online. hes being disrespectful and irresponsible and should be banned or at least restricted for a while to contemplate his behaviour.

@Applegarden @SamueLSD @Osaid yo guys please stop feeding him attention and start reporting.

hi @TrynaBeTurquoise trust me i truly hope for this pandemic to turn out to be just a giant conspiracy because if thats so it means that its under control and the truth will shine eventually and everything will get exposed but if not then were all gonna get blatantly fucked. the current death rate in italy is about 12% of the acknowledged cases. theres still cases which are not diagnosed yet and the flu season is not over besides the fact that research suggests that it will probably not improve with weather. i can only imagine how worse things would have been without a lockdown. also don't forget that right now there are about 100k infected people in there. studies show that about 5% of them will need icu and 15% will need hospitalization. this means about 20k beds with one quarter with icu and even some of those will die. i dont think italy has that much capacity to begin with so things are terrifying to say the least. the occurrence and death rates are already higher than ever and are more likely to keep increasing. i really hope that this doesnt happen but unless this whole covid-19 thing goes down during april it is highly likely that by the end of the month we will be weeping tears for tens of thousands of deaths in italy alone and some other tens of thousands in new york alone.

if you can say with confidence that there is deep sleep then you most certainly were conscious there. it isnt possible to know and not be aware because knowledge is awareness. the thought right now in your mind is dualistic assuming degrees of awareness while its always been just one degree the right now degree.

i believe theres no information that you havent heard of before.. different techniques and methods different approaches and tricks.. all dont seem to work right.. we all know fear is terrible and difficult to deal with it just feels bad.. since ive been in a similar situation i know logic cant fix your problem but only love can.. dear friend whoever you are and wherever you are know that i love you and everything you do.. you are blessed and deeply loved and cared for.. know that nothing is gonna do you harm.. relax breathe take the peace in and blow the fear out.. its just air.. and i just love you.. keep this message with you.. it will protect you.. because its all about you baby.. yes.. its all about you..

i think maybe people dont yet appreciate the situation well enough. its really serious. the longer the virus lasts the higher chances it will have to develop new types and these can be even more dangerous. the more it spreads the higher risk that will happen quicker because of mutation. humanity is on a sharp edge right now and the deaths will keep increasing even in larger numbers than today. india alone will have at least one million deaths in the span of two to three months sadly. and then the virus will change again and will likely re infect people who had endured the previous one. that will create a new pandemic that will likely create another and another and another. things are going to hell. i really hope that this is just a sad story but im afraid its not. stay safe guys.

hi innerchild. the whole point of shadow work is to surface your deepest emotions and bring them to awareness. so all the stories and emotions that are bubbling up are a sign of doing things correctly. nothing to worry about. combining shamanic breathing with journaling and shadow work is very powerful. just let the stories and emotions pass through awareness like clouds pass through the sky. watch them surfacing and then going away because they will go away and you will become stronger. i get the sense that all thats missing here is detachment that is the ability to not be taken by the content of the thoughts. ultimately with shadow work you want to be able to view and talk about your history without feeling bad about it. you want to be comfortable with all parts of yourself by acknowledging yourself to the deepest levels. you want to be familiar with who you are. maybe also try watching leos videos on letting go and going meta. theyre very helpful.
