What’s scary about it? I get horrible reincarnations but what’s scary about ever ending nothingness lol?

Maybe you could measure it by how difficult it is to you. If it’s easy to do that amount then maybe not so much benefit. If it’s difficult for you, and it gets easier with time, then it suggests that you overcame resistance in yourself and that is a win, and it will probably rewire your brain to be able to be more comfortable and in tune with that stillness. Also if you feel how it lessens anxiety, maybe mostly temporary, that’s a sign of change too. I don’t know the science behind it but it’s a guess. And in terms of mystical gain then I do believe the more hardcore is needed unless you’re spiritually gifted. But in terms of more practical concentration ability and ability to sit still in silence then yes a little probably helps

A lot of us in modern world are so disconnected from natural fear. Ofc there are things to fear, but you just don’t encounter them. If a dangerous animal starts chasing you you’ll feel fear. If someone points a gun at you you’ll feel fear. If your loved ones are under threat you’ll feel fear. If you have disease that gives you the worst pain you might have fear. That is the natural fear. Maybe it’s possible to transcend but it’s probably reserved to the select few ultra super mega mystic whom has dissolved all their self and to whom death and life makes no difference. Until then you will have things to fear, it’s just a matter of them not currently being present in your life, you lucky bastards. Don’t fool yourself thinking you’ve transcended fear because you don’t feel it in your certain circumstances

I only have the immediate fear upon danger and pain I think it’s the hardest to overcome, the immediate fear upon potential danger (like if you’re standing at a height or if a big spider jumps on you) and the fear of physical pain. Other fears related to the self image I overcame , like fear of embarrassment

What do you mean

I’m no better than a man, they are nice indeed. She’s stunning

I find when I try to run as hard as I can I always reach a certain point of intensity that I can handle then I stop, and it’s like no matter how many times I try I always stop at that specific point I’m planning on starting to run again particularly sprinting after my vacation when I get back home. I try to push my limits but it’s so hard (I mean it’s supposed to be hard)

@Schizophonia this is better music:

We’re agreeing

This is truly incredible I somehow found this video on YouTube of a man talking about how he overcame the physical pain of trigeminal neuralgia using large amount of mindfulness/meditation practice. Trigeminal neuralgia is called the “suicide disease” because the pain is so severe it’s known as one of the most, like top two, most painful conditions that exist. It’s rated on McGill pain index higher than for example childbirth I only listened to the video once and it was kinda long so I don’t remember a lot of details of what he said. But basically he studied some of Shinzen Youngs work that talked about how pain + resistance = suffering. That pain is not inherently suffering (what I used to think). And one can learn how to not resist, something like that, and overcome the suffering. The man already was spiritual and did practice, but he added this large amount of mindfulness to the pain and overcame it. He even mentioned doing invasive dental work without needing painkiller due to his mindfulness ability making him not suffer the pain. I don’t know if this man is a genetic freak, he is very stubborn and has discipline which helps him, and his history of already doing spiritual practice helps too. But nonetheless it’s truly remarkable. To think that someone could overcome one of the most severe pain in the world using the mind (or deactivating the mind or whatever you wanna call it) is just incredible. What you guys think? Does this give hope for the many pain sufferers all over the world or is it just something a select few can accomplish because of the amount of determination needed?

I think many live for loved ones

Ok…

Then what about atheists that keep on living

Sure

Always French peoples fault btw I just made french toast topped with sugar and side of whipped cream and jam it was sooo good It literally just said for collecting. So yea I guess it means that “Kind of legal” 🤣 Google said there’s no legal way to BUY popper in Sweden but it’s not illegal to use. Makes no sense. They only have legal stuff on my site. zamnesia has illegal stuff or?

So you’re saying the structure of the self is as real as the structure of the table in my living room? But then maybe what the non dualists say is that there’s no separation so there’s not a separate table. In the same way there’s not a separate self. So that’s the illusion, that there’s actually a defined separate self. So maybe you’re saying you could see the totality so that is absence of limits, then within that the self is the same except it’s no longer experienced as “absolutely separate” (the normal experience) So for example right now I feel absolutely real so there’s no illusion in that?

@Schizophonia I swear if I lived alone I’d create a stash of all sorts of things for myself. *police raids apartment and Natalia is forced to move back to her parents in utter shame*

There is a group of people who gain hope from religion

It’s like hidden gems… Its crazy to me how someone could feel pain without suffering it

*tries to explain to parents how weed-looking bud in her room is technically legal* Collecting means collecting. Like you collect stuff. I don’t know why someone would collect those substances lol…. Ok but it still looks hella sus even if it’s legal What is popper You mean the website you sent me a link to? Because I was talking about the Swedish website I was first mentioning

I am fascinated by people who have suffered a lot, what has kept them going because I notice I tend to resort sometimes to suicidal thinking when I face challenges so I’m confused about what keeps other people going. Theres something respectable about someone who has suffered a lot. It’s like there comes something deep from it, some kind of wisdom sometimes

It’s hard to stomach but I’m open to it

Ok cool. I might experiment Workouts is the only way I suffer so might as well experiment with it Yea

Cool but everything they sell on the website is legal. Thc-a is supposed to be precursor to thc. Google says it turns into thc upon heating lol shouldn’t it be easy to just smoke it like regular joint then. I read somewhere it could be used for “collecting” Don’t understand HHC is illegal here. Thc too but it’s like a limit of much thc something can contain and it’s very low like almost negligible amounts They have really cool stuff on the website I looked up I’d like to explore substances

Yea maybe
