@Raptorsin7 It's a very subtle technique but if you think you're doing it wrong, it's because you're overthinking it. Just simply ignore every experience and focus-on (look-for; find) the one who seems to be aware of it. Now...the reason that can seem confusing is because that's actually not possible to do... But attempting to do it over and over with great intensity is the whole practice. It takes practice to do it fluidly, so be patient. Perhaps try an established meditation system like The Mind Illuminated first to get your mind stable enough to do it with some greater ease. And btw, this whole fluid technique itself is also just an experience, so ignore it and attempt to find the one who is aware of it. Over and over you will catch what feels like the I, realize it isn't the I because the I is aware of it, and refocus again and again. If you're still experiencing, keep going. If you seem not to be experiencing anything, that's still an experience -- who knows there's no experience? And on and on and on...

Sage.

If we are going by the construct that literally everything is art, which come to think of it, seems to be the case, then yeah, I guess you’re right.?? ❤️ Keep on keepin’ on brother, breaking down them walls.

Haha all good. Literally nothing goes into it. No art. I don’t think about it at all. Hell, I date them fairly often. Made some of them my long term girlfriend. Almost married one of them. One even kept saying “yes” and I’d say “what?” And she’d say “just practicing (for when you ask me to marry you).” I’m a fairly spiritual guy and they seem to end up happier after being with me for some time. What can I say... lol idk. I’m still in college. Maybe I should date girls my age but I have a thing for cougars something terrible lol.

You are just playing a role, right? If so, well fucking done! I’m doubtful considering your post count, but good luck to you either way.

Yeah it’s practically suicide to not love yourself enough to meditate for at least 20 minutes a day.

I can see this isn’t going anywhere, but if you want to know... LOL fuck it... just picture a 6 in your own head. I can guarantee you that’s roughly what I consider a 6. And btw I’m in my mid 20’s and most of the women I hook up with are in their early 30’s. Often divorced. Sometimes they have not-perfect teeth, etc, but body of basically a pornstar. Picture your average pornstar — that’s how I view these women. Seriously. Doesn’t matter how others see them (though I can pretty much guarantee others view them as “hot as fuck”) — they’re perfect to me. It’s just magic when I’m with them. Don’t care what other people think about their imperfections.

I’m my lightly held opinion, bipolar is a misdiagnosis and misunderstanding of spiritual cycling — the ego death / ego backlash cycle. Seriously.

Lol. Picture 6/10 (as ridiculous as that seems; rating; oh god I shudder). That’s my absolute lowest. Literally have never gone lower. Not even once. Feels ridiculous to even say this, but it’s usually over 7.5/10. I think I might just be handsome (not serious). And extremely vulnerable and honest — women pick up on that.

Not that there's any actual benefit to having a good work ethic, but it can still be a trip. Try it on for size with some strategy. Get obsessed. The first thing you could do every morning is meditate, and then try to carry your ascended state into the ordinariness of get-er-done. Take hella fucking risks. Not everyone makes it; the ones that do make it take risks though. If you're infinitely stubborn (not possible but you can get close), there is almost literally no risk. Preposterous strategic-ness is not enough to see that world without luck, but beyond preposterous strategy, on the other hand... try it. You may or may not like it. But what if you do like it? "What do I want?" is the best contemplation for success. The only thing holding a compassionate person back from this is shame -- can't explain why, but ignore the absolute fuck out of it. Shame is what tells you you're human. You can be beyond human. You can do anything. For example, if you're in college and you get a B in some class, here's literally an option that maybe some of you have tried and succeeded with, but this is for those who haven't thought about it: You can go to your professor's office and just give them a reason for why you actually deserve an A. If they say no, you can literally say you're not leaving until they give you an A. Sometimes they'll decline, but if they're like most people, they'll eventually give in after you're there annoying them for 3 hours. Ever thought of that? I've seen it work. It does work. It's what very successful people do.

There is actually no help whatsoever, apart from self-love. Self-love is everything. Everything.

Absolutely no judgement whatsoever. Anyone judging is just not open minded enough or knowledgeable enough about shit that has gone into vaccines in the past. Literally if I saw someone post what I’m posting right now without the requisite knowledge to identify with it, I’d think they were ignorant as fuck. But in all honesty, it’s best for the population for everyone to get vaccinated.

22-32?! My last gf was 34 (I’m in my mid 20’s) and she was the baddest ever! Change your age standards, lol! (As always, not too serious).

Times I’ve gotten laid from online stuff: a few. Times I’ve gotten laid from just talking to women in person in random situations: well over 100. Should I diversity?

To be called self-centered even when there’s no self here is actually quite illuminating. Thanks for that. It’s just what seems to be happening ❤️. I might get vaccinated. Just speaking my mind. I don’t care about this stuff. I’m probably crazy (not serious). I wear a mask, etc. As soon as a family member gets ill I’m sure my tune will change. Here’s hoping for my beloved family to get sick

@Explore You’re perfection as well. Those other 3 just struck me.

@4201 @Leo Gura @Consilience Damn I love y’all. You’re perfection.

God damn I guess I’m lucky to be so good looking (not serious). I am a student who works at a fucking department store and I have had sex with extremely hot women (as hot as pornstars) literally hundreds of times from just being personable and friendly. Started happening after awakening, like magic. I used to consider my biggest problem: I can’t get laid. Once nothing mattered... holy fuck.

I haven’t gotten rona yet somehow (considering my life that’s actually a miracle). I will not be vaccinated, likely. I don’t trust it. I am probably delusional though. Everyone, get vaccinated.

Check out Todd Grande. This stuff is his life purpose, as per Leo, even.

I just saw this thread. My intuition is that this is one of the most powerful online threads that exists for increasing open-mindedness. Don’t mind me. Just sharing intuition.

As long as you don't feel "stuck," there's no need to meditate. If you're stuck, the best way to move on is to meditate.

Unless you can put your hands on the ground and feel like you might as well be touching smoke or liquid or unreal dreamstuff, you're grounded enough. You're golden. You're the light. You're the love. Embrace the craziness. Just my opinion, of course.

It will likely include the experience of no free will. But in the case of depersonalization it isn't liberating -- for them they'd do anything to have the illusion of free will intact. It's literally terrifying for them. If you're not terrified, don't worry. You have simply had an awakening.

I feel like I should be an authority on this topic. I have narcolepsy. Words cannot describe the terror I've experienced from sleep paralysis nightly from age 19 until age 24 or so. Every single night. There's literally no way you can understand... But I just don't know what to say. I didn't really work through it, it just happened. After quite a few awakenings, the negatives stopped happening. So I'm of absolutely no help. I went through hell, and eventually, it just stopped happening. If I could give any advice, it's this: absolutely everything is a blessing. No exceptions, whatsoever.
