Thats probably the reason for the teaching. If you desire love (like everyone) and are not attached to it, would it still lead to suffering?

@Dodoster I must disagree. Desire is absolutely fine and amazing and it doesn't lead to suffering. Only the attachment does. I so desire a steak for dinner today. And i am literally going to go now and buy one ones if finish writing this. I am however not attached to this desire as i see if for what it is. So if they don't have any steaks today (very unlikely ), it doesn't cause me any suffering, since i wont be standing there mentally masturbating for a hour about not getting steak, ill just buy chicken wings instead .

@Afonso The 68 is more of a joke. As to me the question kind of sounds like, "hey whats the solution to this imaginary problem i have created in my mind, hey do some of this stuff....". Guess me saying its imaginary will so piss of the ego, but it piss on the ego Anxiety is known to come from thoughts (or any emotion for that matter). You probably see some stuff during the 5-meo that is causing certain thoughts that trigger the emotional response. Do not ignore the small thought or the obvious ones (as the simple ones are usually the hidden ones you don't know about). When you find out what though is causing it ("in your imagination") you can fix that and change the results.

@Afonso Run around your house 68 times and it should go away . What thoughts are causing the fear?

@Will Bigger The eye can never see itself. And it doesn't give a shit either

N.v.m, the crazy statement however seems reasonably accurate do

@Shin Many. And it stopped with set realization. It might not help to say so but i hope it does.

Is that that crazy femenist on youtube?

Happy Jesus day everyone Feliz navidad

@renegade_bee Pain is pain but suffering is self inflicted. Use your pain to wake up from your mental masturbation. Let me put it in perspective: Is depression is disease like the flue, and can you get it from a bacteria or virus? Or is it something your creating yourself (like ex. stress)? I might sound like a asshole in your delusion but to me this is the same as saying your going to kill yourself because your iPhone got stolen.

@harisankartj It comes down to replacing one illusion with a other illusion, sure you can label one as better or superior, it hover doesn't change set fact.

@BeginnerActualizer Actually its not contradictory at all, then again, ask yourself, what truly is a contradiction if you let go of your beliefs? One must do a, b, c, d, e, etc to reach 0? See the problem with that? Sure you can meditate for a year, eat 2 ice-creams a day, put a potato under your pillow, what ever makes you feel like you are getting somewhere. Then again that is the problem. As there is nowhere to get to.

Faith.

@Martin123 Focus on what you want for yourself. And dont forget to be yourself and not who others want you to be. Or lets say: self pleasing instead of people pleasing.

Nothing can not be explained by something. In a sense one can not remember the "Experience Of Enlightenment".

Mooji and Adyashanti have some great guided meditation videos on youtube.

@Extreme Z7 A harsh truth to swallow is that happiness only maters to the ego. You don't need to do anything to accepting reality as it is, you just need to stop not accepting it.

Whats happening here is Ego A thinks its superior to Ego B, Ego C is listening to Ego A and Ego D is observing go C. Your "none optional beliefs" are causing these attachments.

@Rahul yadav When you stop attaching yourself to those thoughts they in a sense become as meaningfull as the thought of a tomato. Do not mistake your thoughts of selfness on being anything more then thoughts, that come and go, like all others.

@Peace and Love In both cases they are constructs. The only thing that changes is the awareness of set constructs. And the other constructs that get created as a result.

@Bronsoval A other option is to just do it. I know this sounds obviuse, but then again why dont you. Overthinking and reason / shortcut searching usualy gets in the way of action. It might also help to be aware of this.

@BeginnerActualizer Ego A is thinking them, Ego B disagrees, Ego C says you cant predict the future. Your "i" is just looking at them.

@Deep You believe yourself to be the ego. Thats the illusion. Or you believe yourself not to be the ego and have created a other ego to look at the other ego. Same thing.

@Soulbass Only the ego cares about this question. So to the "I" asking it: no.

Without concepts its impossible to communicate or do anything. The idea of Free Will is pointless. Having it or not doesn't change anything. Do not love or hate your ego, as both are ego.
