Oppositionless

Viewing some guest list there are hella throwbacks I vaguely remember reading , trippy.

Dr K on a podcast talking about awakening a week ago.

So Hum (walking version) This is a version of the classic So Hum technique adapted as a walking meditation . It's extremely simple. Stevens has a similar one but this is different from that. * Walk at a comfortable pace . If you feel restless try walking slowly , if you feel lethargic try walking faster. The chants will be synchronized to the footfalls. You can take a few minutes to pay attention to the breath first if it's hard to pay attention to the feet. As the left foot strikes the ground feel into the sensation and mentally chant "So" in the left foot. As the right foot strikes the ground mentally chant "Hum" in the right foot. Really feel into the strike—pressure, texture of sand/grass/pavement, subtle vibration up the leg. The mantra becomes almost secondary. *Stevens' version is synchronized to the breath . "So Hum" means "I am That." The purpose of this practice is to ground the massive amount of energy the breathwork routine cultivates, and thereby purify the lower chakras , bringing God into your whole body.

Crown awakening : The Absolute . No self and no creation. Third eye awakening : Boundless consciousness. Self creation and world creation. "Solipsism." Heart awakening : Unconditional love and bliss, integration of the masculine and feminine.

@Ramasta9 that's a great idea . I'm not gonna take down the posts I've made, but I'm going to acknowledge that the extent and ferocity to which I shared may have actually made me sicker .

God isn't a person but all persons. When you pray to God as if he's a person this has value , just keep in mind the person who will answer your prayer won't be the "totality" but a very big, very loving placeholder, like the avatars in Hindu mythology. This isn't a bad thing , if God was strictly speaking a person he would be limited, what you want if you want human connection with God is for an avatar to answer your prayer.

Not hiding the posts you think deserve to be hidden .

@LambdaDelta I think you're on to something . I can't make sense of love with my mind because I think how can God accept evil and suffering.

Theres also power in just letting it ride ❤️.

I'm vulnerable to a fault on this forum, haven't decided if it's a good or bad thing lol. I can't always tell whether it's helpful because my OCD involves a lot of checking and reassurance seeking, so if I make a vulnerable post and I realize I'm posting for reassurance I hide it.

I touched on this briefly in my OCD thread but I've been experimenting with humiliation practice. This is a somewhat unconventional practice but it's semi common among zen monks. Having my profile as a woman picture was a pretty extreme version, I opted out of the full month I planned because I realized there's a fine line between this type of work and self-harm. What I'm doing now is gentler, I'm just doing spiritual practices in public. It started with alternate nostril breathing at work, next will be meditating in a public park when lots of people are around. I anticipate massive resistance but not the obsessive spiraling that occured with the previous experiment.

Despite having awakenings to love I can't explain it. Consciousness fits in my theory , intelligence and imagination fit in my theory, love doesn't, it doesn't respect my mind at all, it consumes it.

Metta (loving kindness meditation) did that for me. Or listening to a really romantic song 💗

Okay nothing crazy , I'm just gonna meditate in a public place.
