i am I AM

@non_nothing Yeah! It is. @SageModeAustin I don't know. Your emotional attachment could reach deeper than you think. There's alot more emotions than in the English language. Maybe even any language, for some. Also (off-topic! Run for th hills!Ohnooo!!) sometimes I ponder whether we should change the title of United States to Rumi Nation.

What does intuition tell you that? Have you by chance tried breath focused meditation, like this: 2 or 3 times a day, at least 20 minutes each time. Or CBT oil? Kava was great for my depression and a few have read some think it's been said it's helpful with anxiety... Finally, until you lose emotional attachment to any of your past, your perception of yourself doing things wrong is in some way here inaccurate. You can feel free to feel exactly the same about it, though.

Ok, what I meant was, the part where it says and, it's for if both was unsolicited and unbeknownst to them. And why I said it's ok is because I don't think there os a reason to take any of the posts to heart!, words used (how many words are there? Not enough, it seems), things like that.

It's ok. Omg, this is really hilarious. You've got a great sense of humor even if you think what you did is serious. My question is: how are these forcing someone?

I have no reason to think otherwise. I wish you well and good fortune for you.

Enlightened humans don't give people information unsolicited and unbeknownst to them, let alone ask people to humilate themselves or force something on others.

Eventually the higher self turns out to be a concept. Positive perception (in time, or "needed to be done" by you or whatever) can only last so long. What's in the in-between is the real mystery.

@Jack River Yes, lol!

@non_nothing Ok, yeah, that sounds great. ......Um...How does one not make assumptions based on their biases?

@DrewNows And "positive" is not necessarily when/where you think it is either, so you're not missing much

The inside is part of everything. But what's the diff. between inside and outside? Who knows? It's starting to look to me like there are not parts...

"i realize there's an appearance that constantly changing". That's a good sign. What else is there? Besides you, and an appearance changing? Or maybe inside?

Unrequited love does not make one vulnerable?

Self's exp.: "Easier said than done"=beginning. Afterwards they'll be equally difficult, ()...

It's important because if you lose the distinction of all separation, You can't be bothered by anything, anymore. So no matter how long or how dedicated, that's a pretty solid benefit if you ask me.

My motivations were:extreme curiosity and interest in something unknown, and when meditating felt like such a contrast to the negative circumstance of everything else. In other words, usually to me it felt like it lead to the only positiveness in life.

Here egos again. He was moving from topic to topic It was really quite hypnotic-Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the Starship Enterprise (It's gonna be ok)

@Ingit What natural psychedelics cause motor disturbance? A few can cause the heart to work too hard, but that's if you take a lot more than what is required for the insights and awareness.

@How to be wise I think anger can be helpful in motivating self to do the work, but there are alternatives I find more helpful. On the other hand, it won't help to stagnate and stay attached to a specific item (emotion, belief, method, etc.), will it?

Natural, still living (fresh) plants are the way to become awareness, at least temporarily. I have no idea whether it can lead to permanent enlightenment. Surrendering has been done without use of psychedelics.

Lol, yeah, the look of a man set in his ways.

Strange but true for my own experience: you would think it would harm mental function, but no. So I'm grateful I figured that out on my own (maybe with a smol tip from a little-known source: Benjamin Franklin....).

The strange part about this is guilt can't be anymore you than things 'out there'.

Rather than a mysterious event, perhaps the charger is about to stop working
