Laughing is important. Otherwise you become serious. And seriousness is death hormone.

I hear you. I would like to see a more wholesome behavior as well. Not sure if warning points would help tho. Good thing I'm not a mod who has to make decisions.

It had nothing to do with you. Everyone gets the same response from him. Welcome to the club

My new recommendation. Try a cold shower

Even your theory that self centerness is related to your brains is a flaw in and of itself. Here's the proof your brains have nothing to do with your personality and where your attention resides.

how do you know that? Bruh... I just know things (because I'm awesome. :D)

Volunteering, art, loving relationships. Do something you're passionate about. Something that ignites your heart with fire 🔥 Say more Yes to life. Don't close yourself in a cubicle. It will suffocate the heart and make dissociation worse. Meds cause dissociation/disconnect from the self aswell. Maybe consider some herbal brain tonics instead. Like gotu kola and brahmi. Or just do volunteering. Try it. It won't make sense until you try it.

Maybe some dissociation disorder. It's worth contemplating alternative answers to the problem. Because your current conclusions are not very solid (in my view at least)

Volunteering is all about shifting your attention from being ego centric to being all-centric. It connects you to the heart that heals all things.

I would imagine if you had to drive a car overnight, you'd probably have no issues falling asleep. You'd probably feel drowsy like everyone else. If the above is true, it should give you an insight into the nature of your problem. My guess would be an overstimulated mind.

😅 I can't believe I remember watching this so many years ago on TV. Some SpongeBob wisdom right there.

Group hug 🤗

Does dancing help to feel connected to the self? Because by dancing you can connect with your heart. It's really good.

If you want to feel connected to the self. Connect to your heart. When you connect to your heart you won't feel flat or empty. You will feel full, complete, all pervasive etc. And it will organize and harmonize your brain activity aswell

Rupert is talking on attention on the Self. With the capital S. That means to focus on beyond the ego.

There could be more than one explanation to it. I'm telling you, unless you're the next Ramana Maharshi, it's not the ego dissolution at play.

I mean I picked up on that feeling of emptyness inside you before. That dissociation. It could a lost soul/trapped soul phenomena. Where because of some traumas or pain a soul dissociates from the body in order to avoid the pain and then doesn't return fully. Did you experience anything traumatic before these simptoms appeared?

I bet it was like 1% dissolution compared to what Buddhists go through. And they are fine without any of the simptoms you discribe

Being self centered, ego centric does not make you dissolve. Quite the opposite, it perpetuates the illusion. To be love centered, to be awareness centered, to be centered on helping others makes ego dissolve.

Monks who meditate their whole life 24/7 are not able to achieve full ego dissolution most of the time. I doubt you actually dissolved. Your interpretation of the problem could be (and likely is imo) off. Maybe it instead of ego dissolution it was some personality disorder. Dissociation disorder. Trauma or smth, idk. But ego dissolution does not sound like a plausible answer in my view. Unless you're the next Ramana Maharshi or smth.

Do some volunteering then. Where you have to care for others.

Just suffer

What if all the people are acting when they speak 😐

He makes a good point about psychedelics, even mild ones being a doorway for spirits.
