How to stop identifying with stuff you see?

[Toranvor]

Before spiritual awakening I used to consume all sorts of damned stuff like gore videos, horror movies, criminal documentaries and to me those things were just entertainment, I had nothing to do with those people. But nowadays, I can't even read the news without thinking that all that horrible stuff is me. How do you deal with that?

It goes too deep. There is something very eerie happening with identity and what you look at.

You actually cant look at something you dont identify with.

Your eyes are constantly scanning a simulation for something you identify with.

When people say the world is you what they are saying is you literally cannot look at something you dont identify with.

Its a realization that you are stuck looking at your identity.

Like being in a toybox and stuck focusing on 4 toys.
