  1. Spiritual work may appear like laziness, but it’s far from it. Society is lazy for not prioritizing spirituality and holism.
  2. Don’t beat yourself up. It doesn’t do you any good in the long-run. Make identifying negative thoughts and sensations part of your spiritual practice - recontextualize and expand upon them. This will be intuitive over time.
  3. I feel like I’m being personally attacked, and I don’t like it! And now for insight: Hard work is what you make of it. Don’t allow others to define what hard work is for you. They give pointers, but you inevitably decide what to do and learn how you’ll go about it.
  4. Sadhguru is one of the happiness gurus I ever met. A wise teacher speaks in paradoxes. A wise student dies to love and becomes one with the master. Become one with the soil :-P
  5. How many of you are filling out this questionnaire while on psychedelics. Don’t be sneaky now!!
  6. Love. Embrace the sensations as if experiencing them for the first time. Love awakes You.
  7. Content vs. Structure. You may simply be in the wrong structure. Don’t continue convincing any content of that, though. Don’t judge yourself harshly, though. What was once the right structure for us no longer is valid, like clothing you outgrow after adolescence. The clothing isn’t the problem, so no need to yell at your socks for not fitting.
  8. You’re ineffably Consciousness.
  9. Did you know back in the day you had to wait THREE whole years for a new Star Wars Movie? We’re so spoiled nowadays with an endless waterfall of content. Slow down!!!
  10. OCD can manifest in any way. OCD don’t have rules, but sure creates a crap ton of them to ruin your life. Look up the OCD subtypes if you want to categorize your OCD more broadly. There are other antidepressants you can try. They don’t all work the same way despite being all antidepressants. When all else fails, look into ketamine treatments.
  11. Invest into ERP with a therapist who is actually trained in understanding OCD deeply and Exposure Response Prevention (ERP). This is the gold standard treatment for OCD. Doing it saved my life. Took me over a year of challenging work, so don’t expect long-term results overnight. You need to practice ERP daily.
  12. https://lanalou.bandcamp.com/album/old-spells Fantastic folk songs from a lovely friend. She is amazing and her music is too
  13. Does that camera have footage of Bigfoot or aliens? Maybe a lot of pictures of big feet and sexy aliens
  14. Wtf, I just realized I made this topic on my birthday
  15. Man, that’s like having Michael Jordan on your basketball team and having him benched the entire game.
  16. Focus less on the how to do something and more on how it feels to be deeply engaged in such activities. Your internal compass guides you.
  17. You cannot force anything with consciousness - anything goes. Even limitations and close-mindedness. Seriously, what would have authority over Consciousness, which is NOW?
  18. Don’t judge a book by its cover
  19. Leo is secretly in love with Shorts 😏 https://www.actualized.org/insights/recontextualization-prank
  20. Survival takes on infinite forms and possibilities. This war, included.
  21. Ah, felt. The best mental health therapists I’ve seen have been out of pocket; they didn’t accept my insurance. Sure, my insurance technically covers therapy sessions. However, from my experience, the ones that were “free” really didn’t help with my treatment effectively. I still respect therapists that spread themselves out by being part of the complex insurance system; they have a role in helping those who legitimately don’t have the funds to cover therapy. But the truth of the matter is this: Not locking yourself in a rigid system leads to autonomy and higher quality care for both the therapist and the patient.
