I feel the importance of having a Conscious direction in my life. I find it difficult to sustain, it usually disintegrates to something else like selfishness, rituals and so on.

I can relate to this, because I struggle with mental health issues. I notice in the spiritual communities there is a wariness towards psychiatric medicine. I can see where it is coming from, but in my experience they helped in stabilizing my mind, which allowed me to pursue spirituality in a more sustainable way. therapy such as psychanalysis might help you to show up to your daily responsibilities, and possibly creating a somewhat healthy structure. however from my point of view there is one issue with most of the psychiatric community, which is that they don't heal you completely, they try to heal you so that you are functional and that is it, the rest is up for you. regarding the spiritual practices, some spiritual practices destabilize the mind more that others, so you can experiment with that. finding the right dose of medication for me made all the difference, (although it might dull the perception) it gave me a stable mind, so for instance before finding the right dose, contemplation made me lose this stability, now I rely on it heavily. hope this was helpful

I can relate because I had social anxiety too, what helped me with that is therapy and exposing myself to new social situations. when you become more conscious you become more integrous.

be on the look for laziness!

suffering makes the ego feel good about itself, you can stop suffering simply by deciding not to

@Rilles a beautiful question, very trippy

@Someone here I have an experience with insanity, I was diagnosed with a mental disorder quite recently, in my experience the border between sanity and insanity is crossed when I lose the ability to discern what is valuable and relevant to me, and I think this relates to conscience.

There is the 321 shadow exercise talked about by ken Wilber

@Preety_India I agree. usually what attracts attention is radiance, women know when they are radiating. ken wilber talked about this in one of his books There is egocentric radiance, where a woman radiates for herself not caring about others, maybe kinda like Regina George vibe There is ethnocentric radiation, where a woman offers radiates her beauty to her group and world centric where the woman radiates to the world

I find that it is difficult to transform my thoughts into reality do you have any books to recommend on this subject? how can I close this gap?

@seeking_brilliance i resonate with this phrase, how am I like this

it depends on one's own projections on these metaprespectives. any thoughts about this?

people do whatever they want! Evil is a relative term! people dont call their actions evil, and if they do it is because on some level they realize that they couldnt help but do it.

@Ya know yeah you manifest things in three ways thoughts words and deeds, if your thoughts become consistant you will live a beautiful life!

if an enlightened nazi was transported to sit with a circle of enlightened hippys what would happen?
