The more relaxed you are the clearer the images become, for example when I do an hour of SDS I will get very clear surreal visions in my mind, but its very important that you dont try to grasp anything, just let go and it comes.

Emotions are such a beautiful thing, I really hope you can get off the anti-depressants man<3

Is the depression clinical btw?

I would say most of the time I feel neutral/calm, which I consider my "normal state" I wouldnt go so far as to call that an emotion.

Has anyone ever experienced pulsating noises while meditating? They last for about 5 seconds and they usually happen when I'm a trance-like state until I snap out of it, I also heard something like airplane noises. Is this some indication of a new depth or should I just ignore it as random phenomena?

I can't find the mind. All I find are thoughts, are thoughts and mind the same? Why do we talk about mind as being something real? I'ts clearly not, it's just a word we unconsciously started using, take a look for yourself! If you find the mind then please let me know, I'd be happy to get rid of this issue.

To make matters simple, I been self inquiring alot and using negation I've come to realize that there is no "inside the head", there are thoughts and images appearing behind the eyelids but there is no substance behind the eyelids that could be called a mind.

@Leo Gura Wow! Will definitely inquire into that!

I think you missed my point.

No, its not really anything like that, although I've read many people experiencing ringing though. I will hear different sounds as I get into a deep meditation too, like random voices and things like that but it's not your regular type of inner monologue, it's much louder and more real. I have an inkling this might just be hypnagogia and that I need to find a way to be more awake, a phase I guess.

Go to a cancer ward.

But were stealing food too, does that mean that humanity should be extinct, of course not! Ants need food too. What are we basing an ants consciouness on, just because theyre smaller theyre not as "alive"? they might be more alive as far as we know!

I have tons of ants in my kitchen, my parents always kill them, pisses me off, their rationale is that they are just creatures without "humanlike consciousness" so it doesnt matter, how do they know that!?

Do real research, Youtube comments are NOT a reliable source

I get lightheaded very easily, only after breathing hard for maybe 2 mins, I was wondering if I should worry about this? Is it okay to start small and then build your way up, like 5 mins, then 10 mins and so on? Thanks

@eputkonen That was profound... thank you for your reply, ill be sure to do more self-inquiry in the future.

I sometimes think about how fragile the human body is and how its so easy to get sick and such, but today I got very freaked out, I was sitting on an airplane and the passenger next to me started having convulsions (diabetic) and he had to have a bunch of nurses and stuff around him to bring him back to conciousness. I havent been able to get my mind off how scary it was... My main question is, is there any way to accept the fragility of ourselves and how would you go about doing that, how can we accept that death could take us at any moment, thanks!

Thanks! These are similar conclusions I've come to, it seems acceptance is the only way even though it's hella scary but I guess that comes with the program "its not a bug, its a feature!" as Leo would put it

Why isnt Leo on that list, I demand answeeeers

@cirkussmile Thanks for the reply! I'll contemplate that

haha this channel is just slightly above Actualized org in quality
