Someone here

Because it feels good.

General. I'm anxious about nothing in particular. Another way to say it is I'm anxious about everything.

Not sure if this should help or increase the problem.

No I didn't read the power of now. I tried meditation but it doesn't work so well.

I would be more happy and at peace. I would stop worrying too much and get more in touch with the present moment. Not sure how that will manifest practically . Since I have been anxious for a long time now.. That I almost forgot how to be normal lol. These days I can't even enjoy a video game or a beautiful song because of how much stuck in my head and anxious I am.

@MuadDib @Inliytened1 thanks for the tips and advice.

Unfortunately I do not know what's the root cause of anxiety. And that makes it even more difficult to deal with.

@WokeBloke can you point to it?

Because you fear death. Simple.

@WokeBloke Experiencer is a duality. Nonduality means not two. There is no experiencer.

How do you define the "permanent experiencer "?

No.

Because of their genetics, firstly.

How about you prove that there is a devil controlling you?

@Nahm thanks for the advice and the resource.

@Inliytened1 psychedelics are illegal in India. I can't access them. What do you mean by "uncertainty"?

@snowyowl thanks. No I don't use alcohol or that much caffeine. My lifestyle is pretty stable. But I'm beginning to lose hope. I have severe anxiety and depression. Sometimes I go entire days feeling anxious.

What about "death"?

@Salvijus you mean meditation?

I had enough. I'm so tired of this anxiety. It keeps getting worse. I don't know if I can handle it any more. It's this burning sensation in my chest. I'm anxious all day long. I don't know what to do.

Totally accept whatever is arising.

@Blackhawk this is dangerous. If you are suicidal you should visit a therapist or take some medications.

I think that our ego is kind of this shitpile we have gathered, so to speak. We have gathered enormous amounts of different garbage and glued it into ourselves, forming the ego. This ego makes us act in different ways to various situations, but the decision is not an expression of free will, it's just our shitpile - the ego - reacting to stuff in various ways. How to break free from years of programming?

Form is empty. Emptiness is form.. Is what I mean. Again it can't be explained really. It's something you have to grasp directly.

Everything that exists in the universe at this instant, all matter, energy, fields, life forms, everything we perceive, imagine or do.... Are nothing.
