@SirVladimir are 2 minutes of shamanic breathing too strong? I heard shamanic breathing is very strong and I always been afraid of trying it.

I have noticed these days that my mind doesn't get any momentum when I do affirmations to condition my mind or ask questions to get answers to problems. I'm not getting the result I seek, but I can't blame anything because my mind is not getting momentum. I'm not thinking about the things I want to accomplish often, maybe because it has kind of heavy feeling to it...

@Hello from Russia Yes it is, maybe the source of all distortion is the scattered mind. We shall see it hahaha

@willl But writing them down is a way of becoming aware of them so they don't produce more distortion, which is the same to not feeling them.

@Hello from Russia That's another priotity in my to do list Im not trained enought at it. This is a crutial cause of this issue. When concentration fails you make more unconscious judgements and bound yourself even more I've noticed. I do the flame focus exercise.

@from chaos into self I have contemplated it and the issue is a lot of negative emotions around the topics i'm working on. Many old distorted meanings and distorted judgements because of the meanings. When it's like that the mind spits it, it conflicts with the self image. The judgements and meanings form the filter of what can enter or what cannot. That also interestingly creates a sense of unhealthy rushing. I very easily say "this is not working", instead of nurturing the affirmations or questions. I will clear the topics. What im going to do is brainstorm words that can target the emotions and meanings within me and meditate to pull this perspectives out, and track wether the emotions are being soften or not.

Since we create our own suffering and meditation makes you aware of it. What should you focus on as it relates to career and lifestyle, living through it with all the sufferings of it, and possibly becoming more unconscious and falling into bad habits because of it? Or should you make meditation a priority and clear your concepts, limiting beliefs, triggers and compulsions while having the intention to move into that direction you want? I have done 5 hours of self enquiry these last 3 days and many of the usual triggers, which I got them identified and I always write them done, where absent. I don't mean seeking to awaken before working on your career, you don't need to be enlightened for what im telling. The simple act of disentangling our awareness from the object experience (belief, thought, situation) is really enough, I have lived it. So what is better to do first?

I'm now working on integrating different types of states of mind. Things I hate, like moments of confusion, mistakes, tiredness, boredom... Each of these happen to have they're meanings. I uses to have this fantasy on my mind that I wanted my life to look like a masterpiece from now till the end. This is impossible to do if I actually try to do it. It's possible to so but totally indirect and through integrating all possible moments, by using boredom, confusion, tiredness the way they're design to be used for. I have lived a lot of unhappiness because of this and made me more likely to seek distraction from the negative emotions I was causing myself unconsciously.

I think most of the dark corruption takes place at the level of interpretation of facts. Then people in the group seem to not have the intellectual capacity to evaluate the certainty of they're positions, so they sort of stay complacent with the point of view while being horrified about being wrong. Do you know about something about this? Do you know any ways to go straight to the root of whatever we are studying and get the truth instead of the falsehood?

@Nahm thank you, but the example I have you from school was years ago, is a thing of the past but I thought it will make the point.

@Nahm I haven't really understood you. Do you mean that they're the way they are because they're not present? What I mean is that if someone is going to get deceived in this world, it is the guy who doesn't have the ability to see the deception coming, and to evaluate validate what he is being told about. For example, extremists are not extremists because they love it, in fact, they probably feel horrible most of the time and hate living, but they're not conscious enough to find the truth, and they're very afraid of trying to. The worst is that deceivers build fear threads to the deceived people for them to not scape. For example, high school bands, sometimes they tell people who're going to leave them that they will never find someone who cares about them, in fact, I got told that by bullies that I knew in high school.

I have heard Leo saying many times that the religions are metaphors to point people towards enlightenment. It's an interesting idea, how can I realize this, how does one evaluate the messages to realize it's true meaning?
