Boredom as Ontological Insight why boredom feels existential is boredom the ego dissolving? The link of overstimulation and loss of meaning.

@EmiHyen Really appreciate the insight — you explained that really well. I feel like I have a good sense of what you’re saying, especially about just observing whatever comes up instead of trying to fight it. It definitely seems like a process that unfolds through direct experience. I’m also starting to see what you mean about noticing how much the mind tries to avoid quietness. I’m going to keep experimenting with the practice and see what clicks over time. And honestly I’m glad to see people on here giving genuine feedback and sharing their experience like this, It’s really helpful.

@EmiHyen Yeah that makes sense. I actually just started a daily meditation practice and it’s honestly hard for me to sit there for even 10–20 minutes. My mind constantly wants to grab onto something to do. I’ve started noticing during the day how much I try to fill every moment with stimulation so I don’t have to sit in quietness or nothingness. It’s like I’m always trying to escape boredom. If I keep meditating consistently, does the ego slowly dissolve over time? Or does it just become easier to access that sense of Being you’re talking about? Also when boredom comes up, should I just sit there and try to observe it and find that “being” underneath it? Even after I finish meditating my mind still wants to grab onto things that aren’t really helpful for my life long-term, so I’m trying to understand how to work with that.

This worked for me and i was scared shitless at first trying this. The more you practice the better you will get at astral projection. In my opinion when you do a practice like this, you will have a stronger sense of reality.

My question for Leo is, what do you do when you first wake up in the morning?
