    @Voladores

    It's probably obvious and basic for someone well-developed like you, but have you tried shadow work and emotional healing? This you can do by yourself.

    The other suggestion is psychoanalysis as recommended by winterknight, an enlightened former member on this forum. Here: 

    This is shadow work facilitated by experts, so it requires someone else to help you if you feel comfortable with that.

    Remember that you can use the search function to help you find more specific results.

    Guys, it's not easy for everyone to just shut their minds.

    @Voladores

    It's okay. There seems to be an accumulated resistance to being around people.

    Chances are it didn't happen suddenly but had grown and been building up gradually. Is that right? And if so, could you elaborate and give us some background story so that we can be more specific with our advice?

    Grammar

    Some people like challenging themselves and some others like challenging others. That could be another possible perspective.

    Plus, there's beauty in everything, and some people are more sensitive to it through horror, I guess.

    Another possible perspective is that watching horror movies might be stemming from deep insecurities, as a call from the higher self, I mean that some people might be able to break their deep-rooted fears by facing something horrible, at least on a screen.

    I could come up with some other thoughts, but that'd be selfish of me. I'll leave something for others -_-

    It's a duality, but a helpful one.

    See, the problem with enlightenment is that it will strip away everything you have. So, as you're going after it, you want to make sure you won't go broke and end up living on the streets. Although that's not a problem if you don't care, but most people care. (money is just one aspect, there's also health and relationships and all of their accessories).

    Also, after you're done chasing enlightenment, you don't want to start your mundane life from zero (let alone from below zero), because that would be a very unfortunate situation.

    But, you know, you can collapse the duality and try your luck like I did.

    Presence with no end-objective. Or presence with the objective of presence. Smelling the roses. Petting the cats. Being more focused on work; enjoying the present moment as it is;

    Simple. Just do, don't think. And when you think, don't resist. Let thinking work itself out without interruption. Enjoy the thinking, it's not the enemy.

    Also, avoid multi-tasking.

    @Truth Addict  Then How can I dis-attach from my personal life.

    It's an integral process, you need both construction and deconstruction at the same time. It’s more about conscious balance than complete detachment. It's a process of adding the most value to your life by removing the lesser values that society gives by default.

    You might want to start with this:

    Also, take a look at this ?

    And most importantly, be careful not to depend on a single source for information. Always try to keep variety.

    @Aakash

    Thank you, but this does not make sense to me at the moment. I'm questioning the validity of the concept 'infinity', not what it means.

    How do you know that reality is infinite not vastly huge? What if there are limits after all? We might say that there does not seem to be limits, but we haven't either proven no-limits.

    My little brother says that humans crave discovering stuff and claim righteousness. Are we just bullshitting ourselves?

    Also, why be a limited human if I am reality and infinite? The answer is not to experience all POVs.

    I've been pondering the concept 'infinity' for a few days now.

    What I don't understand yet is that how is it even possible to reach that conclusion?

    Because to say that reality is infinite, one must watch the infinite from the outside as an observer, but that defeats the original position of infinity. So, we get stuck in a strange-loop.

    So, I thought, what if reality is simply vastly huge compared to us human beings? Like the size of a microbe compared to a human being, etc...

    I mean it seems like it's infinite and there doesn't seem to be anything to contradict this. But on the other hand, there's nothing to support this claim for the reason I mentioned above.

    In mathematics we say that if a number is very little and close to zero, we can dismiss it and treat it like zero. The same applies for infinity, if a number is vastly huge, we can call it infinity.

    Is infinity merely a concept?

    I'm kind of stuck here. Any suggestions?

    You are hopelessly deluded no matter how much you deny (told not by any logical basis, but the same way you are telling to me)

    I certainly am deluded, but that's none of your business. I have no problems whatsoever with my delusions, while you have. My delusions solve all problems, while your delusions don't.

    That's the fundamental problem here, you're focused on me instead of focusing on yourself.

    Quote

    I have accepted many good solutions. Just look at the forum. There are 2 good answer here. Your's is not one of them.

    This means that your cognitive development is at the same level as those two answers. Not that the answers are actually either good or bad. There are levels of development beyond your ability to detect, let alone comprehend, and that's fine by me. The only obstacle is your closed-mindedness and denial of those levels because you think logic is the utmost system for mapping reality.

    35 minutes ago, Ibn Sina said:

    LOL I do accept that logic is flawed, ergo I am sincere. You are making such judgement to me (with no logical basis).

    I acknowledge that the judgement I made can be wrong. However, I don't care if it's wrong or right, since I'm here to help. If it's right then it'll raise your awareness, if it's wrong then it will trigger you. In either cases, it's beneficial, depending on how you use it.

    35 minutes ago, Ibn Sina said:

    I agree with your idea that Logic is flawed. SO WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? What are you trying to teach me?

    Open-mindedness. The possibility of other illogical, yet valid, ways of thinking.

    Then why you keep replying to my message saying I am blind, I am deluded. If you didn't have a problem you wouldn't reply. Your ego is hurt, that's all.

    Honestly, the answer is because I don't want to repress my desire to help you. I can do that, but I don't want to. Sometimes a slap on the face is the only way to teach, because if I don't, life will. But be careful, because life's hands are gigantic and might not give you the chance to reply.

    And I can make those claims the same way you are making about me.

    Yes, you can. And that's why you will keep deluding yourself and stay stuck and never solve your problem.

    Notice your hypocrisy, you're asking for help but you're rejecting every other solution that's presented to you, like you don't need help in the first place. If you're sincere, then you wouldn't be wasting your time on putting your precious 'logic' on a pedestal, but rather you would consider the possibility that logic is fundamentally flawed and cannot be applied to everything. You already think that you have the answers and then you come here asking for answers?! Give me a break!

    31 minutes ago, Ibn Sina said:

    I was asking for help and you gave me your 0.01 cents and I said THANK YOU. So what's the problem here?

    I never said there is a problem.

    I replied to you using a blind man's analogy, because it applies to you (even though you deny that). What's the problem here?

    I don't want you to again answer me again with labels like- you are closeminded, you don't know x y z, because that would  be repetition. 

    Okay. How about this for an answer? ?

    BUT, does logic itself even have a logical basis in the first place? Or is logic fundamentally illogical? Be careful with your answer.

    This is a vital question. On it hinges most of your delusion.

    That is not my point. My point is your 'paradox', 'wisdom pieces' don't hold much value.

    Oh, and you think you get more understanding without wisdom? How contracted of a worldview is that! You've basically fallen into the trap of mainstream science, closed-mindedness.

    Wisdom is what expands your understanding beyond its current limitations. You think that logic is the ultimate tool for understanding reality? This means that you have very little wisdom. The more wisdom you acquire, the more tools you will have in your pocket, and logic can still be one of them. Keep your mind open if you want to learn, cuz you ain't gonna learn too much by sticking to your current paradigms.

    I am not trying to assure you, I just wrote it as a way to express. I don't care what  you think of me. All I am saying is your judgement has no logical basis.  You are just saying stuffs.

    It might not have a logical basis, but that's where you could expand your paradigms to include non-logical bases as well. Non-logical claims are way more valid and valuable than the logical ones. They are way less contracted and way more flexible. It's something that requires turning inwards to see.

    35 minutes ago, Ibn Sina said:

    By that logic, I can say even you are focused on others. Yes, you TruthAddict are very focused  on others and you should focus on yourself.

    I can also say, you are not a Truth Addict, you are only an Addict.
    See,  I have no logical basis to back this up, but just like you I am also 'saying stuffs'. 

    Again, there are a lot more tools than logic, such as intuition and foresight. Of course, these tools have no logical basis. BUT, does logic itself even have a logical basis in the first place? Or is logic fundamentally illogical? Be careful with your answer.

    But let's say that you're right and I am very focused on others, the difference between me and you would be that I don't care about changing the world as much as you do. So, even if your claim is true, it's irrelevant to my situation, while mine is relevant because mine will help you move towards your goal.
