No definitely no time. Oooooohhh sounds just up my street! Thanks again @Shin Cheers @Joseph Maynor As always, thanks @Nahm ❤️ Thank you for your words of support @cetus56! ? I'm so excited to continue. Thanks for your input Thanks for yours also @krazzer

Okay, during meditation I've just had a direct experience of (I'm not good with words so bare with me) "I'm not the body" I have to admit I've not experienced anything like that before and right now I'm sat here feeling quite sick at this realisation. I'm lost for words. I have to swallow this pill. In a sense I feel relief, MASSIVE FUCKING RELIEF in another sense I feel disturbed. On the other hand, I'm aware of self deception and whenever I feel I've made ANY type of progress whatsoever I've still got my guard up ? but at the same time, this feels different.

Thanks for posting @Preetom I'll definitely watch. Thank you

I'll Google that. So it was something? I'm so on guard to my self deceptions I don't trust anything but at the same time I'd like to be assured of the possibility of growth.

Thanks for finding the words for me @Shin I read that in Palpatines voice ?

It didn't feel anything. I wasn't consious of the body, "empty field with just consciousness being conscious of itself" ⬅️⬅️⬅️⬅️⬅️THAT

@Shroomdoctor Or grab a highlighter pen whilst your reading? You can then go back and easily find what you wanted to take notes on. Just a thought

Oh I don't need to ask opinion's on that, I know I got that covered?

So you've stopped smoking completely? You free of the addiction to nicotine and now your vaping just for hobby purposes? @egoless I urge you to put the e-cigarette down, honest! You'll become addicted to it, the habit you'll create from using it will cause an addiction. Also I was thinking you could possibly be sensitive to vegetable glycerin or propylene glycol. I can't seem to fathom why your getting these headaches, 20/40 hits a day is nothing

What do you mean by "heavy vaping" then? @egoless Why did you smoke if you weren't addicted? (Just curious)

⬆️?

I completely agree! Using the compassionate approach with people that moan and complain whilst stuck in victim mentality mode doesn't work or like you put it, people that know they are there. I've learnt to use harshness with some people, Leo's logical approach in some of his video's snapped me out of the victim mentality and I took responsibility for every single little thing. I will watch that video, just the title has me giggling ?

I'm actually crying ? *head's over to YouTube Metube Wetube*

Good point! This post has helped me in more ways than one

No no, I respect your opinion if that's what you think, fair enough. Unfortunately I think your extremely close minded and quite patronising. You say we are "EQUAL" but yet we shouldn't persue certain things? ? So equal in what way exactly? In your meaning of equal? For someone that doesn't wish to argue over trivial nonsense you have a lot to say. Just to clarify I'm in no way 'defending' myself I'm simply stating my opinions on yours. @Shin ?

Check ☑️

Yeah! Can totally resonate with what your saying, I've seen a lot of that... "Mentally pissing at a tree" ??

??? @Shin I'm stealing that ?

Very true! Also, I think in some people's case's they create this alternative spiritual ego and it just reeks of BS

Yeah, I fully agree with what your saying. So, in that case then, it's all in my head BUT what else do I have? How else am I supposed to interact and communicate with other beings? Haha thank you! I genuinely don't understand why you've made this about the sex of a person.

I appreciate your advice completely and your absolutely right... I was also referring to YouTube video's also, not just text but yeah, definitely see what you mean I get what your saying. I'm definitely not projecting in this instance but thanks for bringing up as a possibility. Can you say this is 110% always the case? "Special @Joseph Maynor "video on point to watch"... ? made me chuckle.

YES, exactly! I thought smug would come under the same definition maybe.

I can do that, thanks Do you mind if I steal this? I think it's a beautiful quote. In what's sense, in many ways. Hard to describe really... Say like, so self confident in their knowledge it comes off as arrogance or say you aren't where they are at in your personal development journey so they don't give you the time of day or they act like they just know more than you so then talk to you like your dumb and talk down to you. Many more examples but I'm struggling to put it into words but that kind of theme really.

@egoless Done a quick Google search and it's saying the same. Too high of a nicotine level or your vaping too much. You did say "after heavy vaping" so I'm guessing that could be it, one of them 2.

@egoless irritation in what way? Itchy, sore? Headache's... Prior to vaping how many cigarette's did you smoke? Also what Mg is your nicotine in your juice? You could be vaping to much nicotine to what your used to. I'll have a quick Google search also.
