Everyone’s ‘feeling’ of being wrong is dynamically different. We feel the meaning we’ve assigned. For example, some people get very upset hearing that their belief is a belief. Some people love discovering their belief because they want to be free of them, to have clarity. To me it’s a fun little game, and to some it’s a justification for a war. I think it has a lot to do with the environment we grow up in. If parent is ultra critical, kid may learn to assert he is right for the affection. I had to ‘undo’ that one myself. Also, not everyone’s default is assuming they’re right. Some are interested in the truth.

@Shin Your compassion got me man. Beautiful Shin. ? @tatsumaru I feel for you. I find getting things / thoughts out of the head and into the physical world is effective. I agree with Shin in that it’s a matter of distinctions in thoughts. I’d make a couple columns on a piece of paper, maybe thought...and happening. It is admittedly simple and sounds too easy, but in the mind, it’s sometimes one big cluster. Even if every subject etc gets written in the ‘thoughts’ column, it is effective in making the distinction visual. Also, if you haven’t watched this movie lately, I really recommend it. I think it’s on Amazon prime, maybe Netflix. It’s about Siddhartha of course, but it’s really about me, and you, and every person. Meditation (awareness) is ultimately where the ‘cure’ is. It might be a difficult adventure in the beginning, but it will peel off what has been added, all with the power of ‘nothing’. It will be more rewarding than I have words for. It is worthwhile. imo, it does require the ‘burning of the boats’, as in, if meditation is flirted with, on and off, it can uncover pain without resolve, but if there is a real commitment to the daily (morning is best imo) practice, it does ‘work’. If you feel meditation has left you as anything other than unconditional love, there are still layers the practice can allow you to become aware of - and they can disappear, as they were just thoughts.

@tyler7415 I had a tremendous anger issue. It took everything to turn it around; diet, meditation, (tried medications but it didn’t help, it subdued it and caused side effects), self inquiry, daily exercise, and listening to a lot of videos on positive thinking, and reading a lot of books on freeing the mind, really digging into my life and accomplishing what I desired to, and utilizing creative outlets / activities. In hindsight, I was always casting a negative counter balance like perspective, but I didn’t realize it, because I thought my view was the most accurate, realistic one. Those activities opened my eyes to see how wrong I was and how much I was missing out on in my life by trying to be right all the time. It was like I put how I felt last, and learned to put it first, so I could experience compassion. Then later, psychedelics opened my eyes much more. I had also tried therapy. It seems to help most, but it didn’t help me, other than to expedite the realization that I had to decide to take care of myself. I’m thankful for it in that regard.

I am at peace. I wish you the same.

@Psyche_92 Beautiful. ?

@egoless Bliss of what you are is the opposite of addiction to a substance.

@tatsumaru “real” has the hilarious potential to launch 100 pages,lol, but I experience it as what I am. To another, I am what they say I am. That’s the nature of illusion.

@Zedi There’s just so much detail and ongoings in life. It’s easy to get caught up. Meditation is the opposite, the zooming out, and then we have that tool or ability so maybe we don’t get too zoomed in as often.

@Aquarius Left field maybe, but I think the guilt derives from a deep belief that we can know what others think. If you resonate with this, I’d contemplate on how we can never know what another person is thinking - even if they’re telling us right to our faces. Also, superposition is worth reading about to get at least the conceptual understanding of how no one outside of your awareness is in the form that they are in your presence. - how relative the experience of ‘them’ is to ‘you’. I find it very freeing and clarifying. Hope you do too. If you find that helpful, quantum erasure may also be helpful to see how jut how not existing the past really is. Even what we remember ‘accurately’, is really superposition. ❤️

@molosku But what if all of it is true, and it’s our minds which are the limiter? How could someone know, since it’s experiential?

@lmfao Contemplate on which one transcends the other. One directional not two.

@Zedi build the practice of ‘zooming in and zooming out’. On one hand life is short so you should choose and get on it, on the other hand the now can be tapped, time exists only relatively. Use both hands.

@Dodo I wish you all the best in experiencing the absolute. Nothing compares.

@Leo Gura I just have a hunch the mystical message was less about shooting a video and more about direct engagement with audience members. Your wisdom and conviction have the power to change people’s lives, to help them realize and redefine what’s possible for them. That’s the rarest gift on the planet a human could give and you can do that. A minute spent covering a topic could be spent directly enhancing an individual’s perspective on their own life. I’m betting if you put all agenda and any planned presentation aside, and just were asked questions, the answers that arise pulling from the culmination of all your experience, would take your breath away. I would attend either though and Godspeed!

@Leo-Tzu Brilliant. Bill Hicks too. Hoping Jim Carrey follows suit on the ‘truth’ comedy.

@Brsczkv I think this is a very wise thing to realize and question and you should consider building a foundation with practices and venture into psychedelics, and if interested, listen to some Abe hicks and see if your answers to this category come from within you.

@rorghee After a year and a half of meditation, you should be in love with it. Try simply returning your focus to breathing from your stomach.

@Shakazulu It’s possible but a mix of practices is more reliable. The runner’s high is nice though.

Doing even a little bit, right now, of what you love and really want to be doing, is better than the best ideas of what you could do. It gets the ball rolling.

@BobbyLowell In my estimation unconditional love is the source of all of us, everything else is attaching to a thought relative to the self/person. Deducing if everyone can be loved will only ever be a thought, self inquiry to one’s own unconditional love is a worthwhile experience and the gift that keeps on giving. ❤️

@Dan Arnautu People assimilate and integrate & implement at different speeds.

@Leo Gura it’s optional with an on off radial in notification settings.

@rorghee May I ask, what are you actually doing in your meditation?

@Flora1437 Imo, self inquiry and “reality” inquiry compliment each other well. I found breakthroughs from doing both; meditation to go deeper within and asking what am I - learning about superposition, quantum erasure, schrodinger’s cat / uncertainty principle and entanglement to open up my mind on what ‘outside reality’ is and what is “my” relationship with it. Though this is not what is traditionally meant by self inquiry, it was useful in revealing the facets of the illusion, and what I am.
