maybe there are risks involved with this viewpoint though, especially the video i linked, it's probably not recommended to abrubtly quit taking medications etc He has videos about that too but uh......And i dont want people to start going full anti-medication or anti psychiatry, i could've found a better video (im a bit lazy and too disoriented to find it) but just the focus on Trauma as a root cause of mental illness, sounds overly simplistic, but that's the idea. Dealing with the trauma, you may cure the mental issues. it is inherently anti psychiatry and anti establishment, views that may be too controversial for this site, and maybe im naive to believe in this cult figure in the youtube video. Perhaps too early for me to even speak about this since this is very new to me and i dont have much experience (although ive had major breakthroughs in terms of healing) but no symptom changes.

So I stumbled upon a youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@dmackler58/videos His videos are centered around healing ones trauma, and so forth. He claims that many mental illnesses, Bipolar, schizophrenia, PTSD, even sociopathy (antisocial disorder) are simply expressions of severe trauma. As for how the trauma occured that is unique to each individual and the method for healing trauma can vary. You may need to introspect a lot, write down your memories and confront your pain. Inevitably it will result in many tears, and anger, but the end result can be to be healthy and happy. I'm invested in this as I have been diagnosed with a psychotic disorder and am working hard to become healthy again, I think of schizophrenia as a form of PTSD. My personal method for solving trauma is meditation on the heart chakra, I currently feel a sharp and painful sensation near the chest, it's the emotional wounds becoming apparent, and dealing with this will eventually cure me, I believe, I hope. An example of a video he made: In it he interviews psychiatrists, the main point of the video is to illustrate how ineffective psychiatry is at curing schizophrenia, and that the medications merely only supress symptoms, not tackling the root cause which is trauma. He also has videos where he talks about different disorders, and he specifically interviews some psychiatrists who managed to cure psychotic patients.

the use of — is a good sign that this is all a chatGPT-text.

Thing i've been wondering about is the difference between infinity, and nothingness. It seems like they're separate things but really they're not. A void of nothingness seems to be able to conjure up an infinite amount of new possibilities. So that's how things were before the big bang, it was all a void, then from that void something happened. If you take a game like Minecraft and put a seed into the creation of the world, it will be separate from any other kind of world that could've been generated. But before the world was created the possibilities were endless. Also, after Death: what's not to say we get immediately reborn into a different dream. To me it seems illogical to experience non-existense for too long, as soon as death occurs you begin a new experience. Contrary to the belief that when you die you're dead forever and you'll never experience anything again, it's all black. Instead, the wait time is instant rather than eternal.

myes. religions are all a buncha crap. lets talk about leo guras notion of death however, if solipsist dies. where does he end up? In formlessness? and is that a happy place or a sad place. it feels as if though life in this dream is very mediocre compared to what it could've been. Maybe life or this dream im dreaming is sort of a waiting place, sort of like, yeah i wanna experience suffering for a while so i can experience the great contrast when i finally arrive in formlessness and experience unimaginable ecstasy. who knows.

i'm in the process of giving authority to 'the others' in my dream i suppose. rookie mistake

praying to jesus so i dont accidently end up in hell, i mean i'd do it that's just the uh.....pascals wager thingy, you wanna be safe

so....when we die maybe we become reborn instantly, there's no wait time. the moment you die is the moment you become a baby. or, maybe when we die we get to experience a paradise world where we come in contact with our omnipotence and omniscience and everything as god. i wonder which it'll be. i hope for the latter, i'd like to be in god-mode or creative-mode so i can do whatever i want until i get bored and choose to dream a new dream of sorts. i guess it's impossible to know, also yes i've heard about NDEs, that sounds intriguing, who knows what will happen. aaaah.... no i do not long for death but i don't fear it either. i'll probably pray to jesus for safety's sake, maybe this solipsism stuff was a satanic lie, yes i know, now i sound like an unenlightened moron, and perhaps i am, however, i find god realization to be an implausible thing for me, seeing as im unwilling to do psychedelics, yes ive tried LSD, but you'd need 1000 ug for a god realization and im unwilling to make myself that schizophrenic im sorry guys. 'the work' is a bit of a tall mountain to climb for me as of now. aahhh....

So, been thinking about one particular thing that stuck with me from watching one of Leo's episodes, I believe the title of the video was something about toxic life purpose or something, which was to guide people towards the light so to speak, and choose a greater purpose in life. Leo in this video gives example of how people may get like a coding job working to create drones that will be used to kill people in warfare. And it got me thinking, there are so many of these inventions that self-actualized people created. An example would be Einstein, we see him as this great man of scientific genius. Brought a bunch of new discoveries into the world, but it's been said that his contributions to science helped people to create the first nuclear bomb. You can work at some magnum opus of whatever and it may have a very negative effect on humanity, but not deliberately. Now I said there are many examples of this but I don't know too many on the top of my head, but most of technology can be used in harmful ways. It may be worthwhile to look into Ted Kacsinzkys writings, yes a very controversial figure, but he may have a valid point about technological progress.

maybe this was the wrong, place to post this, should've been the career place. uh. well it kinda suits personal development i thought.. im new here so

I can't remember which video it was but Leo Gura made a video about in order to discover ones purpose so to speak, one has to listen to ones intuition. Atleast he mentioned that. Well that's what i'm trying to do now, I can't picture myself a life of routine and a boring 9-5 lifestyle forever. I spend a lot of time in front of my computer and I'm currently studying to become a programmer, but I paradoxically loathe the idea of working for some bland corporation that produces something I couldn't care less about. Funnily enough I tend to get innovative ideas for projects I could do on my own, and i'm thinking of going more towards that direction than the other. the dilemma is this either you work for someone and earn a decent salary which enables you to live in a stable fashion or you take a risk and do something crazy that may or may not succeed. And i find taking the risk a little bit more entertaining than the former alternative. Am fully aware that my unrealistic ideas may backfire economically, but spiritually it seems to be a win-win situation, i'll be energized doing something that i enjoy, plus I might also make whatever programming project i have in mind part of a portfolio for seeking a job, when that becomes relevant. How would you approach a similar dilemma? I personally don't see anything wrong with the 9-5, like i understand why people would choose that so i am sympathetic to that, after all we wouldn't have a functioning civilization without that sort of business. But you gotta admit it's kind of boring, atleast in theory. some people may enjoy it though so..ye. i'll shut up now

yeah reality seems like it's stuck, not enough novelty. or like. the laws of physics arent being bended in accordance with your will. but that's kind of an argument against solipsism, if reality was solipsistic it would've been destroyed by now. maybe some precautions were made before generating this dream. Like maybe a thousand lifetimes ago the dreamer (god) made a perfect version of reality that cannot be altered within the dream. sort of like creating a video game and then playing it yourself, but removing your god mode and memory. iunno.
