@egoless Conflation bro. Sorry.

@Sirius You’re gonna be fine, I promise. There is not a thing wrong with you or your life. It’s all more malleable than it seems right now. One step at a time will eventually change everything, and each step is going to feel really good. You’re gonna get your life back. I had manic depression and was suicidal when I was 20. 20-25 is the hardest age. Help me help you with more info, and switch to pm if you like. Also, you can PM me all day, everyday. I want to help. We’re gonna change everything. I know that sounds unbelievable, but we are going to. No one can stop us. How old are you? Male or female? Do you meditate and or exercise every morning? If yes, what are you doing? If no, why aren’t you? To the best of your ability, explain why, what resisstenat thoughts are you choosing which are making that too hard? What’s your eating look like? What are the traumas of your life? Most of us have them. It’s more common than I bet you think it is, and it’s ok, and normal, to talk about it. What do you listen to? Which gurus / teachers? Have you done epsychadelics before? (Not suggestion now is the time, just seeking to understand where you’re at) You got friends? How many? Do you have a close friend? Are you in a relationship? And most importantly, what is your best guess at what event or events took place in your life that led you to start seeing the world as serious? Who do you love. (Love as a verb. Who do you give love to?) Do you have any pets? We can systematically reveal all the false understandings and you will have tremendous relief. I just made another post asking for help with IPad / Pc stuff. I’m ignorant there. But the inner world, what you need some help with, I know that like the back of my hand. Not one of us knows everything. We get to help each other. We get to carry each other. That is how it’s supposed to be. The practices of clarity & brevity start now. Don’t write pages. Find the point, what’s relevant, and use one or two sentences. This is a habit which will simultaneously clean & clear up your thinking.

@Pablo Neirotti Welcome to the forum!

@Shakazulu Know thy Self. That is the only healthy relationship you need. Looking for that with another is procrastination & falsity.

@dharm4 What are you?

@Slade How do you know if you’re on the right path? Slade. You have emotions. What more could you need? Just honesty, but, you already have that too.

@Ibn Sina Tell him to get his shit together.

@tsuki Fuck ya it is. A miracle.

@abrakamowse Ya. Whoever named it was clever af, as it doesn’t matter. ?

Kind of an oxymoron..?

@Arman You’he gooc. Dcn’t worry aboqt it.

So true.

@Applejuice Doesn’t strike me as a good time for you to start a family, no.

Ya. I hear that.

It’s much more Horton Hears a Who, and much less hell scenarios, judges & guides, etc. The illusion is contingent on the ‘dark view’. Without it, it’d be plain as day. That’s what’s so damn funny. It’s better than angels. It’s better than what is imaginable. Only direct experience will do, because the Truth is unbelievable. Drooling with your mouth open in shock and awe is the closest a word could get.

@Applejuice You are now my favorite human being.

@Emne Only observe to detach involvement both in terms of thinking & emotion (no self). Later, realize the loop of the Self. That’ll likely take more than practices. Could be years out, so start positive projections / connotations on psychedelics.

Big fat unresolved unacknowledged paradoxical contradiction left on the table here. ?

Connotation, those words loop. Self aware consciousness.

@Aimblack ??? @DoubleYou Excellent!

@Shakazulu Anything is the illusion. Someone would even tell you that you don’t need to do a single practice. That you can fully realize nonduality right now. So, it’s your call. I vote go.

Time is not an illusion, movement / change is initially illusory. Time is a well thought out means of enslavement, plain old human stuff, product of thinking / ego. Space is not illusory either, it’s you, appearing like you do. Nothing.

@CroMagna 1. Acquire it. Sit through whatever arises. All of your problems arise from not yet developing the ability to sit quietly in a room alone. 2. You’re already thinking. Why meditate? Do what’s ever you want.

God.

What you do, and what you are.
