  1. You can be regularly happy and still experience anxiety in some situations
  2. I'll toss another potential cause into the mix. Could be a dissociative response to something that came up because of the psychedelics. I'd be curious to see how doing some somatic meditations, i.e. body scan/ yoga nidra, work for you.
  3. From what I understand, it seems progress has been going in the opposite direction. A big recent case seems to be Citizen United (2010). Where it was ruled that corporations and unions had no limits on the amount they could donate in support of political campaigns. Before corporations and unions weren't allowed to do this, outside of donating to political action committees, which had limits on contributions. The key rationale seemed to be that the court saw political spending as coming under the protection of free speech, so previous restrictions were viewed as contrary to the first amendment. McCutcheon case (2014) got rid of restrictions on individuals ability to donate to multiple political campaigns within a given time frame. So, further expanding the influence that wealthy donors could have on politics.
  4. https://integralguide.com/ ^ A comprehensive meta-guide to healing
  5. @SageMind Which type of neti-neti are you doing?
  6. Imo, sociology gets a lot of stick because its a left wing subject. A core idea is that where people end up in life is more a result of social systems rather than any type of free will. The subject is about understanding how those systems operate. Right wingers believe people generally end up in circumstances as a consequence of freely chosen actions. So a whole subject that goes against a core belief of theirs is not going to be liked by them. Hence, many people will hate on the subject from that angle. Ben Shapiro is a prime example of that. Personally, I'm certain we don't have free will, so these right wingers are completely deluded. So, sociology is correct, in my book. And also I see it as a serious, important field for sure. At least that is how i see it.
  7. Also, what course was it pls?
  8. How did you learn to accept them?
  9. Just do insight meditation, like shinzen young's, where you meditate on the actual desires/ urges towards women.
  10. In the same way you can't choose your opinions and ideologies, you can't choose your reactions to those things.
  11. Can you link an English translation of the judgment?
  12. I dunno, I'd say do deep therapy, meditation and/or bodywork so that your neediness fades away. I guess having an attitude of owning your neediness is a step in the right direction though
  13. Its something I've tried in the past and will probably again in the future. However, for now I'm working on the bigger factors regarding my sleep issues.
  14. @UpperMaster You are welcome mate. Also, I'd recommend looking into Shinzen young's meditation work: https://www.shinzen.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/SeeHearFeelIntroduction_ver1.8.pdf. Can be useful form of meditation for people with low attention spans --------------- r/adhd subreddit is useful also
  15. I get you dude. To be fair, its just an indicator that I use, so might not be that helpful.
  16. @UpperMaster What effect does drinking coffee have on you? I ask because, imo, the effect that stimulants have on you can help you know if you have ADHD. If it hypes you up then its an indicator that you don't have it. If you find yourself calmer and more centered then that indicates that you do have ADHD. Reason being is that ADHD brain react very differently to stimulants compared to regular folk. That said, I'd stress only using this as an indicator. A top level diagnostic psychiatrist is going to be important too. ----- Also, you might find value in this video:
  17. @Javfly33 What was your spiritual practice up till now?
  18. Can set your lock screen to a wallpaper that reminds you of key mindsets. For me I made lock screen pic with things like 'mastery, patience, Hero's Journey'.
  19. What is the relationship between baldness and postmodernism?
