spiritual memes

damn this is amazing. I studied optimization in some uni courses but I never thought of it this way

I think the best second order truths act as pointers to the first order

I've noticed that my protector parts tend to be located in the upper chakras whereas my exiles are located in my lower chakras

If you're genuinely interested in the things you want to learn, you will naturally learn it insanely quickly.

Actually stage blue systems are very stable which is why stage blue societies and traditions last so long.

Trauma healing involves extensive therapy, and inner shadow work. As of now the best form of therapy I've found is IFS. Basic self help is just sorting out your survival needs like health, money, career, relationships etc.

@Tyler Robinson The most important aspect of blue is keeping stage red at bay. Stage blue is what stops a drug cartel from killing your family, selling you into slavery.

maybe it has been...

both, tbh. Call me a gaslighter if you want but you cray cray. If you have a dysfunctional mind, it will corrupt any spiritual work that you do so I (and most people) would recommend healing from your childhood traumas first. If you want to be objective, and 'scientific' the only reality to things is a bunch of vibrating quantum fields. Its your mind that divides these quantum fields into 'things'. Quantum fields are neither good nor bad, why are you so mad? If you want to be spiritual about it then we do create are own realities lol.

This is what happens when you get too deep into spirituality without doing the necessary trauma healing and basic self help first.

@Ulax yeah good luck to you too!

@Ulax Thanks! I thought it would only be a few parts when I started, didn't realised there was a multi-faction civil war in my mind XD. Child abuse is a bitch

@Ulax like 30 so far

Turns out my laziness isn't actually laziness but another part. It's a part of me that feels despair and wants me to give up and stop trying. It does this because i've put in so much work and effort often to just end up in the same place and it just to protect me from more pointless effort for nothing. It is also at war with the masculine part of me that is driven and wants to achieve goals at all costs. Shits like a civil war in my mind.

hit the gym and get SWOLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Dating is extremely survival orientated and egoic and therefore discussions on dating will always be inherently biased and unethical.

Both can be true. societies are created by god through humans.

This forum is not that bad, I've seen a million times worse on reddit. actualized talks about some deep shit which people have strong opinions about. Also controversial posts tend to get the most replies and get seen more so it appears more frequent than it really is.

wow ok.

Holy shit I keep discovering new parts. WHY ARE THERE SO MANY??? :(((

Trying to heal my social anxiety and dating problems but its difficult. It's not just one part but multiple interconnected parts. So far, the parts I have uncovered are: The people pleasing manager part that focuses on other peoples approval The firefighter part that cringes every time I experience or remember an embarassing situation The manager part that suppresses my sexual energy My sexual energy that was exiled due to my conservative upbringing The firefighter responsible for my porn addiction The part that always feels unworthy The exiled shame from childhood The part of me that tries to not be awkward but ends up making things even more awkward. damn i got a lotta work to do

Discovered a pretty significant firefighter part that always tries to distract me from the present moment and looking inwards. Whenever I try to do deep self enquiry or meditation, this part comes up with a excuse to do something else. I guess its there to protect me from my inner exiled parts as well as uncomfortable sensations in the body. It is located in my upper neck and the back of my head. This one is quite hard to integrate considering its so powerful.

I also uncovered a firefighter part that was responsible for my violent thoughts and behaviour when I was a child. As a child, I was that messed up kid who always talked about fucked up shit and was the 'freak' in the class. This part of me was born from me being hurt emotionally and physically by people that I was close to. By acting violent and saying messed up things, i would prevent people from getting close to me and seeing my vulnerable side. They would think i'm a freak but this was better than letting them get close to me and hurting me. Thank you, firefighter, for protecting me but I am strong now and people can't hurt me the way they used to. My parents are not the same as they were and they will never hurt me again.

I uncovered the manager part responsible for my adhd, constant fidgeting and restlessness. This part stems from my childhood where I was slapped and beaten by my parents. Slaps to the face would usually be very sudden and extremely painful. Therefore, this part of me learned to always be alert and vigilant and to always feel like a threat is coming. It manifests in the body as a kind of low grade electric shock arount my face,neck, chest and upper back and im guessing its because those places are vulnerable areas that need to be protected. I am grateful for this part for protecting me but I am safe now so there is no need to be so on guard.

@Ulax I started with mindfullness, specifically the methods of stages 1-5 from the mind illuminated. I then moved onto loving kindness and bodily awareness type meditations. Finally I started doing the do nothing technique and strong determination sitting. I think the most important attribute to practice for therapy and shadow work is the ability to be mindful of emotions and trace them to specific sensations in the body.
