  1. @Federico del pueblo Yep contractions in the body.. All that's needed to purify them is resting as awarenss but it can also be helpful to do yoga and stretching.
  2. Yeah, I know what you mean. Direct experience is prior to belief. But as soon as we start to form words that explain "direct experience" we're into belief territory. Wouldn't you agree?
  3. Maybe it's because the I that wants it to change and the I has the power for it to change is not the same I?
  4. Beliefs are like sunglasses. They tint your perception of reality.
  5. Isn't that just a belief though? ?
  6. Ego is thoughts and feelings. These patterns of thoughts and feeling might appear to be a solid thing but it's just like a fan that's spinning fast looks like a solid disc. An optical illusion.
  7. Yeah that's it! Sometimes you have to accept that you don't understand and that's fine too. ?
  8. Seems like a nice thing to be able to be annoyed about. It would suck if you were annoyed about not having any food to put on the table. ?
  9. Yeah, the mind gets confused when it's trying to make sense of it all. ? Not much to do except embracing the confusion and the paradox imo. ?
  10. @Michael Jackson ? From the game characters POV he's going on quests, slaying dragons, leveling up, doing anything that seems worthwhile but he is just a part of the gaming experience. From another POV he's does whatever he's programmed to to do.
  11. @MihaiXx Yes! Just enjoy the ride! ?
  12. Ok thx for sharing. ? Could you "focus in" on these areas of your jaw when such a topic comes up to see if you feel any tension building up? You could also do this throughout the day and just relax the jaw or massage the muscles to prevent these tensions from building up. I would appreceite any feedback if it helped or not.
  13. Interesting, I've also had trouble with my left side. Thigh, shoulder, neck and feet. Have you tried stretching? These tensions seem to build up during daily life for me. How about you?
  14. Yeah I have. It can be overcome by stretching the neck and back daily. From my experience these tensions is built up during normal day to day life. Meditation simply makes you conscious of them. Just out of curiosity, since we are talking about areas around the throat chakra, how are you when you're in conversations with others? Do you feel relaxed and there's a natural flow of conversation or are you feeling like you need to force yourself in any way?
  15. He could act that way without actually being sympathetic. It's really hard to know his intentions. Use the criteria in the dsm 5 instead. Antisocial Personality Disorder: https://www.theravive.com/therapedia/antisocial-personality-disorder-dsm--5-301.7-(f60.2)
  16. @UpperMaster A sociopath is formed by life events so they should be able to unwind there ego just like anybody else. It seems highly unlikely that they would have any interest in doing so though.
  17. @Eternal Unity
  18. @Eternal Unity Thx!
  19. @Rafael Thundercat Thx for sharing! I'll watch it later today. EDIT: Seems like it's restricted in my region so I can't see it yet.
  20. Just like anybody else. ? Ah nice! ?
  21. Thoughts and sensations are the "raw data", objects are parts of the raw data that has been processed by the mind into objects. Yes, it can be experienced, the subtle 'sensation' of awareness without thoughts and sensations
