@REALNEGA It’s your own choosing of negative thinking. It’s lazy thinking, and it is worst when you are tired.

Do what you can to move from the head to the heart, and accept the degree to which you can do this, right now. All is well. Choose an anonymous name, and start posting. It’s a breakthrough in it’s self. You’ll see.

Completly opposite directions.

@CreamCat Absolutely. I want everything. I went through a lot of shit before I was able to admit that.

@CreamCat What do you want from this life? What do you really want? What do you want so deeply that Everything else becomes a distant second. So deeply that every choice is made in terms of supporting this dream or not. From that vantage point, addictions will not tempt you so much.

@Elisabeth ??

@pluto Down right insane how deeply true that is.

@K VIL Thanks and the hell you say!, love you man❤️

What knows it is not a thing?

Sex is the illusionary basis in which Nothing appears as one, and another, and now appearing as two, appears to create another one, perpetuating the illusion. Sex is an illusion which perpetuates illusions, and it is as sure as death, in which the illusion ends. Don’t tell my wife this though, she thinks it’s real af. The witness / consciousness is not relative to anything, all things are relative to it.

@Saumaya Great writing man. @Viking lol. Yeah. Definitly.

Two things...you did not experience this like you feel you did. You experienced a screen. Might sound like a subtle difference, but if you want to help people, you’ll need to realize the difference. Being on the falsity rollercoaster of sadness, etc, will not result in the high energy you will need to help people to the tune you desire. After you get yourself there, you’ll have all the energy in the universe to help. You are not feeling sadness because you are empathetic. It is because you have not mastered your own energy, and you’re being taken for a ride by the energy of others. If you’re going to uplift anyone, you’re first going to have to learn how to keep yourself “up”.

Bullshit. The scientific materialist paradigm has come up with ZERO explanation in terms of consciousness arising as a byproduct of matter. This is what scientists refer to as “The Hard Problem of Consciousness”. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_problem_of_consciousness But it’s not a hard problem at all. It’s just a scientist who doesn’t do the work. Scientists have known matter is not physical for a very long time (research the Copenhagen vs Multiple Worlds debate as a starting point). Where are you doing your reality inquires...Encyclopedia Brittanica, 1867 Edition? ? ❤️

@Max_V 2 practices came to mind that you can do any time of day, and after a few days you’ll start to notice a shift. One is to consider that all that is within your awareness, what you see, hear, smell, touch, etc - that - is all there is. There is nothing beyond the tree line in the distance, there is nothing on the other side of the wall. After a few days of being mindful of this, there is a sort of shrinking down of everything, and life begins to feel very manageable, and far less overwhelming, which helps reduce monkey mind & increase focus and awareness. The other, is to ‘bring it in’ closer & closer to your relativity. For example...you see a commercial on tv about starving / dying kids in Africa, and you don’t feel so good. Maybe you feel guilty, like you’re life is good, but you should be helping those kids. Now ‘bring it back to relativity’...as in, realize you did not see kids in Africa, you saw a screen. What you saw on the screen is part of your story, it gives you options for what to choose next. One person will not notice the commercial at all. Another person will be deeply moved, and get on a plane, and go help those kids in Africa. Either is fine. That may strike you as counterintuitive, me saying either is fine. That serves to help you realize how you are assigning meaning to what you are aware of. This will go full circle down the road, and when it does, you’ll have all the energy & inspiration in changing the world and helping others. This is a practice of changing yourself first. The important thing is to make the distinction of what you’re actually aware of.

@Viking Locate you.

Trust daily morning meditation. If that’s not enough, then meditate again in the afternoon, 30 mins each. I believe mental stress is 99% induced by sugar, bread, and lack of meditation & exercise. Beyond that, increase awareness of what is controllable in life; your decisions, your actions, and your words. Accept that is all you have control over. If you are feeling stressed, it is not because of what is happening (almost always) it’s because you are not controlling what you know you can, or worrying about what you know you can’t. Writing these things on paper makes it intensely clearer than floating around in your head. Make two columns, “what I can control”, “What I can’t control”, and whatever is on your mind, whatever is worrisome, write it in one of the columns. It’s a simple yet emotionally powerful thing to do, very liberating. You are already living a “fulfilling & beautiful” life, you just have some monkey mind going which is thinking that it is other than that. (Meditation, twice a day...trust me on this, it’ll enhance the rest of your life cumulatively) I think there’s a significant event in your past which leads you to take an uncertain unknown and exciting future, and project onto it “potentially lead me to tragedy”. Try to realize where you learned that habit of thinking / worrying about the future, shine the awareness on it, and be free from it. The most exciting thing in life, is not knowing the future. Imagine if you did...what would there be to do? Why would there be you living this life? Consider making a vision board. It’s very powerful. I use half of my basement walls. It works. The point of life, is to enjoy it - the adventure is that we don’t know what will happen. We are very lucky for that. I don’t know what will happen five minutes from right now, and I find that fascinating. Impossibly possible. That’s awesome. Deepening the connection with life, is through deepening the connection with yourself. Again, meditation is the way. You are already ‘connected enough to help others’, and doing so will bring you exactly what you’re wanting - a deeper connection.

@Psyche_92 Happy to..ice cubes...chocolate raw meal with greens (vegan protein powder)....a banana... and if u wanna add some flavors peanut butter and or cocoa powder

@SoonHei It’s all correct, but you’re still in the same reality. You’ve gotten about as far as one can with clarity from theory. That theory you expressed though is only revealed to be 1% when you directly experience infinity. Theory, however, can not be embodied. With psychedelics in addition to practices, I’d say you’re 2 years out from enlightenment. Without psychedelics, using meditation, yoga, retreats, I’d guess 20-30 years out for enlightenment.

@Psyche_92 Sweat! It’s detoxifying. Alan Watts said if you can’t meditate in a boiler room, then you can’t meditate.

@KenDo A combination of meditating with a stop and start list and a pad of paper. Every answer you want is right there in you, when the mind settles the most relevant thing for you to stop or start arises. Don’t under estimate the balance of having those just for you “cheat” days. They are as important as any practice. If you are not having fun you are not fully on the path.

@SoonHei That is so beautiful, God is great? Keep going. I’d say you’re about 1% ‘there’.

@Widdle Puppy Because you are eternally, blissfully, alone - and in that, you’re doing this, “this”, being not alone. So these things you are confused on, that stress you out....they support a continuation of the fantasy that you are not alone. For you, now...self reliance & self accountability are the way. Trust in the logic of Maslow’s pyramid. Don’t attempt to move faster spiritually than your independence in this life grants you. It’s stressful to attempt that. The peace is in surrendering to the now. It is not something gained by something accomplished in the future. The future is a mystery and must be accepted as such. Revel in the not knowing. Allow yourself to be amazed that uncertainty can even exist at all. Learn to love not knowing, and you’ll fall in love with your life. That love, is the ultimate self reliance you seek. Allow yourself to break down and have a good cry.

That is your problem at hand right there. You are missing that the whole point is to feel good, to enjoy life. You’ve been too zoomed in for too long. Get away, alone, in nature, for at least a few days...and zoom out. Allow the knowing that the point is to enjoy each moment to return. It will, but you must get away and allow everything you have going on to clear from your mind. You must “empty your cup”. You’ve been letting it overflow for too long. “Chronically”. That doesn’t work long term. That is anxiety.

That’s beautiful. Take a few deep breaths, and feel into that. It powerful enough for ten lifetimes. Scary powerful, I know. Visualize it going ideally, comfortably, divinely for you - life is a divine gift, just for you to live and enjoy. Visualize the network connections unfolding for you in good time, just as needed. Know that you will have the confidence, as needed. You will grow, perfectly as needed. One step presenting itself perfectly as you’re ready; not too soon, and not too late. The intention is for life to unfold for you in a timely fashion, such that you enjoy it. Tune into the now of it - that is the only place you’ll find the joy. Implying there is too much to do and not enough time to do it (overthinking), is depressive. In this, do fun things just for you to feel great. Too much time and not doing enough (laziness), is frustrating. In this, look to better align your eating, sleeping, and clean up your thinking. There is a “Goldilocks”, or a Middle Way, which is to be present and satisfied with where everything is, right now. If you were to flash forward at lightening speed and have everything you want immediately accomplished - then what would be the point of living? Would you want every delicious meal you’ll ever eat sitting in front of you right now to scarf down like a barbarian? Of course not. You want to enjoy each one, in time. The point of living, is to live it. Not to have some thing, or to have accomplished it - but to live it. To not know, and do it anyways, that’s as beautiful as life can be. That is real personal development. That is faith. You will need this deep, deep connection with your life, if you are to write about it. You will need to live it, if you are to show others how. I’d meditate, calm it all down with stomach breathe focus, and simply, humbly, ask the infinite within you - what’s the next step, what’s today’s step for me. What is this gift of today you have so graciously given me? Whatever arises, Let that be enough. You will need to make every single other facet of your life, and all of your choices secondary to being able to wake up in the morning, and sit, and be in that place - to be in right now. No choice in eating, drinking, how you use your word with others, how you think of others, etc...no choice can infringe. Every choice must support this vision.
