@Sparkist Really? I just did it for kicks, didnt want to make it a running joke...

@Joseph Maynor

@Joseph Maynor Jesus! Drop it already, we get it! I thought you seemed pretty cool at first but now Im questioning that...

@John Iverson Alright Im compiling a list, have to pick from my darkest memories.

The Road Less Travelled - Scott Peck The Art Of Loving - Erich Fromm Keeping The Love You Find - Harville Hendrix (got recommended to me by a professional psychologist)

@John Iverson Well... the quotes can be very offensive, are you sure?

No, this is not avoiding feeling, this is actually embracing it, rationalization and thought-stories is is more likely to cause suppression and more pain. But dont try to stop thoughts if they occur, let them happen but keep your focus on the body.

@Sparkist @Leo Gura Haha okay ill take off... like a shoe

@Sparkist Im trying to shoehorn in a pun but its not working

@Ether Hahaha, must be tasty shoe/sandal?

I dont need to even see a video, I got my dad lol, could post years of Blue quotes.

Those moments of crisis are necessary to dissolve the ego, it goes hand in hand.

@Joseph Maynor Isnt any opinion about the world a thought-story? Its neither perfect not terrible... its...

There is strength in surrendering.

I kind of agree, at first there is a possibility of feelings of accomplishment and spiritual arrogance, “Im meditating and doing yoga, Im so conscious!” But the end result is ego-death, it goes through stages.

Why do biiiirds suddenly appeaaaar❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

@Ether Dont project, I havent said anything yet

@Ether

@Ether Stalking for interesting topics, but everything just ends up a flamewar or an arguing snoozefest

@Ether No, I have

@Ether Been stalking the forum all day

I think Karen Horneys book on neurosis really opened up my eyes to what a neurotic person is like, highly recommened.

Doesnt make much sense to me neither.

@Ether The ”discussions” start themselves on this forum

@Ether I discovered back in 2016 that thoughts dont appear in a mind. Have I done anything else Im not aware of?
