@Someone here Mostly owing to my being persuaded by the epistemic regress argument. I.e. every argument works using the premise-premise-conclusion structure. So, for any claim (conclusion) to be sound (true) it must have sound premises. But every premise itself can be seen as making its own claim. So, for any premise to be sound it must have sound sub-premises. Then the same is true for the sub-premises, and the sub-sub premises, and so on forever. The result is that no premise can ever be deemed sound, and consequently no conclusion/ claim can be either. Meaning that any truth claim is essentially arbitrary. Consequently, although I get the irony of making my own truth claim here, any claim to an objective meaningfulness of life is arbitrary. Which is a claim which i think would put me in the camp of nihilism.

@Someone here Imo, awakening and nihilism are very different. Nihilism is the place of the intellect. Awakening, to my understanding, has to be directly experienced I disagree with that. I'd class myself as a nihilist. However, I don't believe human existence is a mistake or something that ought not to be. I'd class those kind of views as more coming under pessimism or anti-natalism categories of thinking. ---- That said, I like your thinking about surrendering as a path to the good life. Interesting thoughts dude.

@Someone here I dunno dude. It just sounds like nihilism in fancy language to me if you don't have the direct experience.

@Someone here Your views expressed in your original post. Are you intellectually theorizing about what you think is the case? Or have you had a direct experience which inspires your views?

@CARDOZZO What is taught in that book? i.e. noting meditation, concentration etc

@CARDOZZO Ye me too. I think there is actually a comparison between Ingram's approach and Kenneth's in the linked article. Seems Ingrams is more about speedy labelling, and Kenneth's more about more complex labelling.

@Someone here Direct experience or intellectual theorising?

@Yimpa Hi a plant, i'm ulax

@SQAAD Maybe some embodiment work could help, i.e. yoga nidra.

@Rishabh R I'd say meditation, getting secure attachment style via depth psychotherapy, and having sense of purpose

@Bobby_2021 Ye Tate is a sick fuck. Or in intellectual terms, very red

@Selfnaught I say go for it dude!

@StarStruck Love, acceptance, respect, belonging

@r0ckyreed Free association baby! I think this vid could be helpful:

@Leo Gura Wdym dude? Magic trick game is the most high conscious game there is

@StarStruck I'd make the distinction of situational v core confidence. Core confidence requires self acceptance, Situational doesn't necessarily require it. Situational is borne out of a perception of competence. Core confidence is borne out of a perception of worthiness.

@Danioover9000 lmao, sounds about right

@StarStruck What result are you after?

@tuku747 I agree with Leo on this. And I agree with Nietzsche where he said "There are no facts only interpretations"

@The Redeemer It can be because of stuff that happened to you as a kid that you can't even remember anymore.

@michaelcycle00 You can always actualize yourself and create systems that help emancipate people from their suffering.

@trenton I'd try and physically leave your family environment. Then also do either Gestalt/ IFS therapy

I think the following book is very helpful for bringing clarity to the technique as well. In contrast to other books on the technique, I find the writing much more down to earth and accessible in said book. Book: "Centering Prayer and Inner Awakening", by Cynthia Bourgeault
