Long ??...so what happened because of the subtle ego.

So what problems does the East have to face due to this belief that ego is a disease ?

@TJ Reeves Important post. Thumbs up.

Well I do believe it works and it's fascinating to say the least. There are mysteries of life that are way beyond human comprehension. What do you think ?

@Sri McDonald Trump Maharaj This book is very important for me. I'm an Hsp too.

Then what about identity ?

I sometimes Think that the mind is the body.

Mainstream news is very toxic. I was addicted to it for a while. This was last year when the elections were on. I had to finally pull the plug. I only watch occasionally now. The media is very manipulative and overbearing. But You gotta watch sometimes To know about major events across the globe. But don't give into the rhetoric that is fed to you. I watch National Geographic and Animal Planet. Thats a good dose of watching for me. History channel, Id, Discovery, Oxygen are good options.

The context is important. he exists in my soul.

@Key Elements Haha. They all got a black eye.

@sweater Quit Rsd. I don't believe in it. Just my opinion.

What mental mechanism or technique you used to snap back to your plan ?

Shadow work will take some time. You will need to be patient. First do some meditation to increase awareness. Then do hours and hours of self-inquiry. This will trememdous patience and time. Next do transcendental meditation. You can also use various forms of art and creative expression to fully connect to your feelings. Then do journaling extensively. This will help in venting and ranting. Then do some self-observation throughout the day. this will give you an idea where you're going wrong and what is causing distractions. Lastly come to shadow Work where you are going to face those inner demons and confront your inner psychological issues. This entire cycle will take enormous time. I hope it helps. Goodluck.

a@Annetta Thank you Honey

you did great

Nothing is real, yet it doesn't appear like an illusion.

You're over analyzing things and taking it too far. At this point, only existence should matter to you, rest all are just concepts. You are conceptualizing too much which is not bad, if the concepts help you in your life but It's a futile exercise to first surrender your mind to different concepts and then abandon them when a new concept comes on the horizon. Also do not believe everything on the internet and YouTube videos, a lot of that is baloney anyway. Remember nobody is perfect. it's perfectly okay for you to make mistakes. Don't give into too much subjective analysis. Things happen. One thing that I can sort of make out from the gist of the post is that you're are appearing to be trying to control your destiny which is bad because a lot that happens in life is influenced by so many many factors that's it's impossible to control aspects of it. It's beyond your reach. It also seems like you are looking for a security blanket which is pretty conmon while you are young, but as you mature, you begin to see how life unravels and that you can only determine the responses to the circumstances but You can't control those circumstances. So there is no security for anything. The security ever is your own sanity. As long as your mind is in the right place, you would be able to handle whatever life throws at you, big or small. You only have to focus on your path. Take responsibility for yourself. The pain, insecurity is all arising from a lack of accountability and an inbuilt resistance to self -accountability. once you overcome this resistance barrier, you'll realize that nothing ever mattered as much as It did before. Don't try to make a sense of reality. live it. Understand that your purpose lies within you. Take the world at face value. After a time, nothing would really make any sense except your own purpose and don't feed into ideas that the internet gives you. There's just too much to life for you to figure out in an instant. if you search, you'll keep searching forever. End the search for security. know yourself and begin your journey towards self fulfillment.

I feel for ya. you take the piece of the cake yo !. I am inspired by you now. I must start. it's now or never. This is exactly how I want to be. Exactly where I want to be on my path of actualization and spirituality. This is real growth. This is what It should feel like. Happy for you. Thanks for posting this useful nugget of a post. Golden indeed. I hope when I reach your age, my experiences would be the same.

@Andrew93 what does the Tattoo say or represent ?

Not the ways to correct it but the ways to identify it.

Enlightenment Awareness High Consciousness I think they intersect each other at some point. However a clear distinction between the three is difficult.

oh wow this is good. Thank you.

So other than CBT what do you suggest ? because most therapists only come up with CBT

I guess This is a visualization technique by Hicks. sorta law of attraction. ? right ? So If I have a problem then I should write down the solution till I actually start to believe that it will happen. how is it ? explain this law. kinda didn't get it. what do I need to practice ? Let's assume I have low self-esteem. or I am not healthy or I feel like My situation will never improve. this could be an inner sabotage defeating me. now how should I apply this law ? what lie should I say and what technique should I use ?

Ben Stiller looks stunningly handsome !!
