@Simke What is it exactly you’ve been saying to ‘them’?

Realize the fallacy of “famous”. It is only because one pedestals one, that there is “famous”, and therefore a problem. You are enough. Notice, you are actually you, an inexplicable miracle. There is no problem already.

He’s not talking about your idea of death & your idea of you. That confusion arises because you think you are an idea, a ‘cluster’ of thoughts. That dies. You, actual you (not the idea in your mind “you”), can not reincarnate, you are already all that is.

@theking00 Wise words man. It is me, or it is not me.

@SriBhagwanYogi Alignment is effortless.

@Dumb Enlightened Interested to know how it goes. Just relax, let go, and propose a yes or no question. Notice the deeper (“more personal”) the question, the more resounding a ‘yes’ ( “That’s True” ) is, via the tingling.

And what is is whating.

Excellent. That one phrase, priceless. The brain loves to suggest otherwise - “this or that”.

“It” is not a need, you’re believing a thought “it is a need”, “I am not enough, I need something”. “It” - Is a thought & sensation, which you are aware of. You belong, simply because, you are. What anyone else thinks, does not change that you are. You are love, because you are. Where else in your own experience has love ever been, but here, now, arising within you? You are “it”! ”I have been understood, I have not been understood” - YOU understand that is a thought. YOU ARE the understanding itself. You are “it”! You can interpret Maslow, Leo, Nahm, anyone - how you want to, because you are you. You can say “I need to get the feeling of belonging, love and being understood - from someone else.” You can also say “I belong, I am love. So there is no need to understand, nor to be understood”.

Welcome to bravery. Very nice! You will likely “sneakily be focusing” on a variety of thoughts, sensations and perceptions, swept up in the distractions. This is doing the work, so to speak, and you’re doing it. Persist with... who is aware of that thought? What is aware of that sensation? Who knows that perception? Just keep letting go of every answer, every thought, sensation and perception. Be ridiculously generous - by being willing to - let each go. Be sure notice how, right no, you did some self inquiry - and you’re fine. Look, right now - how uneventful it actually was. Nothing hurt you, nothing changed you, you’re fine. Much like the relief upon waking from a nightmare and realizing, “It was just a dream, I’m totally fine!”. You can now say, “It was just thoughts, sensations and perceptions - “I’m fine!”. Knowing that , keep going!!

Personal growth is of the person / illusion (body & brain). Get in shape, clean up your diet, change habits, find a life coach, and or mentor, read books, practice physical skills, exercise focus, etc. There’s virtually no end to how a human can develop. To know yourself more deeply is another matter, simply investigate. Start by googling what your finger is made of. Then google what cells are made of, etc. Keep going as deep as you want. Meditate every day, to empty the mind. Twice a day is better. Be aware of what you’re doing from pattern repetition, and what you actually want. Self Inquire. Ask, who am I, and don’t settle. Question and scrutinize what you’ve come to believe a priori, and what you yourself actually experience. They’re dramatically different. If you would like someone to ask about your direct experience, to assist with the inquiry, let me know. Only if you intend to complete it though. Fear, self doubt, worry, tension, stress = not living the life you want to, and could - is the answer to your why question. All experienced is illusory. Ultimately, that is why the unresting emotions arise. They are messages. What do they tell you? When will you listen?

@Andreas Care what you think.

Go experience. That’s how you learn about both.

@Andreas If you stop caring what people think of you = sad? Can you explain your feelings on this a little?

@Aaron p Doesn’t get much better than Winterknight’s advice, follow that. Getting some help does not imply anything’s wrong with you. Also, at the same time, in hindsight you’ll see, this is a hangover, and overthinking it is anything more, and beating up on yourself about it. And it’s a stage. We can enjoy the relief from doing the work so much, that a low seems like a whole new low. Words don’t teach and all states and stages pass, you remain. Hang in there bud.

@Dumb Enlightened Awesome. Have you noticed you can ‘ask yourself questions’ and get ‘responses’ via that ‘tingly feeling’ yet?

@Nahm Even breathing is too far ahead.

@LoveandPurpose Start by reading your post and asking....am I two?....or one? Is the “I” the same as “myself”, or are there distinctions found between the two? Is the “I” other than “my head”, or am I one? Can you find distinctions? Is the “I” which is “asking myself” separate, are you two, or one? Is the “I” which asks if “I” and deluding “myself” three beings?...or are they One? Is your experience being two, or three....or one? Are you these thoughts which come and go? Are you consistent, unchanging, awareness of these thoughts? Are the thoughts happening outside of awareness?

@andyjohnsonman Nice. Godspeed man. You’re worth every bit of what you’re undertaking. What’s your understanding, vision, of what you’re doing when doing the ‘shadow work’?

@Shakazulu Bringing seconds ago into now is too much, let alone ‘life times’.

Try to make the distinction between sexually relating to woman, and non-sexually relating to woman. And trust me on this, the woman you start seeing because she was attracted to being treated as “beneath you” - that’s gonna be a big big headache for you. She’s better off addressing her self esteem solo first. Codependency always sneaks in, never announces itself.
