@Angelique everything is a illusion. Even more so, you giving a certain value to something based on your ideas. We live in a illusion. And illusions are all we have. So they might aswell be absolute truths. Theres no diference.

@onacloudynight motivation is not something magical that you get for no reason. Before you got it and didnt understand why. Motivation and desire is ego. And in order to experiance it you need to allow it. Enlightenment is freedom from ego and not no-ego. On the other side. The suffering due to a lack of motivation and desire is also ego. Its your choice what you pay attention to. And if you want to live and enjoy life, you need to pay mind to something.

Yes it will. Like with all. You must find the cause of the problem to find a solution

You and your own way are but a concept in the mind, that change constantly. New knowlage and imformation, regardless of source will be added to it. The less neurosis you have the more positive your own way becomes.

A concept in your mind that you mentaly mastrubate about couse your bord?

Be present in your body and not in you head. You cant truly feel the wind on your skin and mentaly mastrubate at the same time. Guess why they say focus on your breathing to relax Try some things out where you dont think. Like walking the dogs and simply feeling your feet, the wind, etc. All is nothing. When you believe it is something you are mentaly mastrubating again.

By realizing and accepting there is nothing to understand and that you are just mentaly mastrubating

A very harsh almost unaceptable truth is that your depression is self inflicted and you enjoy the suffering. Are you willing to meditate on that We all enjoy suffering. Thats why we do it. This probably goes way to deep but true none the less. In short its part of the experiance we create for ourselfs. However the important thing is that its optional. We can stop suffering simply by being aware of the truth.

Try not thinking by focusing on your body. Give joga nidra (sleep joga) a try.

You find nothing and the lose nothing. Then you panic yourself about losing nothing. Doesnt make sense right ? You want something and cant grasp it, have fear it will never stick (ego screwing you) and get anxiety. Makes more sense ? Self honesty will help you

There are no cons. You can however make up cons, but they will be a ilusion, like so much more

@faithful if there inteligent they stay far away from this planet

Truth is nothing. The rest is mental mastrubation. Long distance could work but i guess one eventualy needs to move. Go for it. Life is taking risks.

That you will mentaly mastrubate about it for weeks and that its all mental mastrubation about nothing

@Memeito stop thinking . Realy, and no thinking about stopping to think.

@Seraph one is freedom from ego, the other is ego development

The ego loves saying, hey im enlightend as fuck. To the observer saying this for egos sake doesnt make sense unless authority is required for practical reasons, which often isnt the case. On the other hand interaction is ego based

The simplest things in life are often the hardest things to grasp .

By stopping to mentaly mastrubate about this all the time and realizing it has no practical relevance in your life.

Aslong as you live you will need a ego. But it being a tool is diferent from believing you are the ego. Maybe my epic drawing skills give a better view

Heres the mindfuck. The observer ONLY observes, it doesn't think, it has no opinions and it doesn't care. In a sense there is only "attention". When you think about a tomato, usually that thought comes and than 1 second later it gone. Unless you pay more attention to it. You could literally mentally masturbate days about a tomato (all your past experiences, how they taste, look, where they comes from, the farmer growing them etc). Most people don't do this with tomato's, but they do it with other thoughts. You don't really have control over everything that comes up in your mind when you think about tomato's, BUT you are/can fully in control the amount of attention you give it. Thoughts are thoughts, there is no difference between a tomato and a horrible memory in this sense. Ego is not something bad. You need ego and in a sense are ego. Everything you want is ego based. Without ego there is no point. You probably have heard the glasses example. You either believe you are the glasses or are aware that you are wearing them and seeing true them. My point is, yes its all the ego speaking, and that's fine. But it has no power nor control. Its a tool you use to live. At the moment you probably don't fully see this jet, and you see the ego coming, attach to it, and say, this is me and this is reality. The silence, emptiness, nothingness that remains when you are not having thoughts is the observer that cant be observed. Who you think you are remains nothing more then just a thought, a fantasy.

@LRyan nothings wrong with you. Your egos are fighting and your paying attention to them. Take a deap breath and be honest with yourselfs. Ego A is having a fight with ego B. And you have your attention on ego A and believe you are ego A and B. But can you be what you are observing? Are you a thought created in your mind or are you the observer of the thought? (Aditionaly while reading this you trigger ego C to disagree with A and B.) Your history, thoughts have no value or importance unless you bring them to mind and start mentaly mastrubating about them. My response might be a little to direct, but hope it has some affect.

Why do you think you are a rasist? Everyone judges a book by its cover. Its only when we start reading the book that that changes. Ontop of that they tel us these books are realy bad, on a daily bases. So no wonder. That doesnt make it true. But it is normal behavior. One just has to look around to see this. Being aware of this judging in the moment will change everything.

The realization of it being a unending search for something none existant.

@The_spanish_guy malaga here . You can, i was like that to. Do note that thats on you list aswell . At home i speak a mix of 5 languages. But im limiting myself to 2 here . Watch leos video about "dont care what other people think". Realisticly you can stop being a introvert in just one week. All it takes is stopping self sabotage.
