Understanding Insanity

[TheSelf]

Imagine you are reading a book in your house alone, you are generally a calm person, you sudenly hit by a strong disassociation feeling, slowly some anxiety feeling comes up, you have no clue whats happening, a few moments later your heart starts racing, you feel like you are losing your mind you hardly can access your memory, you feel like you are about to die, you try to breath but you feel like no air is passing in or out!! you fight with your whole being cause thats millions of years of evolution to fight and survive death. But you are in perfect health and its not physical death, it's death of your individual experience to infinity, and infinity is insane, being sane means operating from limited framework of logic, but that moment all of these vaporizes into thin air, your favorite guru, your family, friend, your ideas about God, etc. anything would just slowly or violently being thrown out of window! 

You can never know what I'm talking about unless you experienced this either in psychedelics or intense yoga systems that can cause an intensr kundalini rising.

As a child this was quite often for me, so now as an adult its experienced the opposite way, I feel calm, bliss full, peace, all at home and alone within myself, divine comfort, warm bliss, like I am swimming in dark chocolate  I was born sane, the world was insane, that's not my problem. 

And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music ~

I tried something today and felt like a schizophrenic. Whenever a thought comes to your mind say thas not me and assign the thought to wherever you want it to be coming from.

I smell a Blog post incoming about Awakening to Capital C "Comedy

[Malkom]

I don't know why, but I felt a marijuana vibe.
I remembered a long time ago, when my friend and I got high at home and started looking at celebrity caricatures. It was really funny.
And I also need to update my Black Afghano cologne.

I used to find hang gliding in the most extreme conditions absolutely fascinating, in real danger to break my body. I spent a lot of time planning sailing trips in the harshest conditions that I dare. I'd do things like take a long solo sailing trip, and the night before, without any planning, drink and do drugs all night in clubs and still set off knowing that I wouldn't sleep in the first 3 days in a very rough weather alone in the ocean, and then sleep 2 hour by day another week. I also found boxing with rage-filled, psychopathic Eastern European guys absolutely thrilling. If I had sex, I'd think: yes okay, but a fight with extreme pain is way better, no comparison. Another thing I found very appealing is 3 days non stop parties with drugs dancing techno, again and again, with very toxic people around. And many other things in that line of behavior, I didn't do more because I didn't dare, but if I would dare I would like to go to a war or similar. All of that now seems like something a mad, a mentally ill person, would do. I don't identify with any of it. It's like I'm a completely different person. But I understand exactly why I used to act in that way. I was closed, my heart was locked, and I instinctively searched the openess in the external world, because I couldn't see that the jail was inside. I was staring a mirage that always was far, in the next thing. That mirage was freedom, and was impossible to reach, because the lock was inside, exactly here. But was absolutely totally impossible to see in that moment

What i can say from having experienced the actual astral body for like 8 seconds, is that when crown chakra opens there are no more memories or thoughts that bother you. You are just "being" as there is no mind no more. The experience you're describing has probably to do with this crown chakra, as the open channel wipes out memories/thoughts and you finally feel freer then ever from unnecessary things flowing in and out of your mind. teach me how to have orgasms without orgasming physically. Maybe it will develop on its own, when im ready.. .. I don't know

My latest trips. 

High consciousness is just WOW!

Seeing that life is a hallucination, plus you are it, is no joke.

In the days around my period, especially during the 10 days before it begins due to the hormonal changes that make the psyche so chaotic, these are the days when I sometimes can’t recognize myself. 

I feel like some wild and dangerous animal cosplaying as a civilized woman, trying not to get caught.

I try to isolate myself from people as much as possible in those days.

Trying to keep yourself "sane" if you are doing this work correctly is doomed to fail because "sanity" is a distinction or a limitation that you are trying to maintain or trying to box reality or freeze it in  but of course reality is groundless and unlimited..In other words insane. Not- sane. And this isn't bad or Good because again one or the other is a distinction and reality includes both yin-yang. So yeah in a sense reality is insane and you are insane but at the same time there is really nothing scary about this .it would be scary if you chose to look at it via a negative lense ..but you can also choose to cool out and stop taking yourself and others too seriously. And this is a good thing to do .

[UnbornTao]

Off the top of my head, what I would add is that insanity isn't necessary, and it is a function of the mind. This in part depends on how you hold sanity.

It's not the same as discovering what's true -- which is already the case, and we're all already perfectly semi-sane.
