stop asking the questions and start doing. You won't know unless you try you have to start from A and may not always get to Z immediately. No I don't think it is selfish, it seems to be a desperation or confusion. Breathe the saying practice makes perfect is true but I prefer the words, consistency is key.

Advice I wish i gave myself long ago: Don't misunderstand yourself because of others' misunderstanding. Replace it all with love ❤?❤?❤

@How to be wise so what is the solution? How do you destroy the ego?

@How to be wise I can't think of any way other than surrendering into love and just be.

A part of me wants to shut off my emotions, but i don't know how. I am sensitive and it doesn't help when others make me feel worse. i am trying out a mantra is working. I dont believe I'm hurt by anyone or anything, just realizing that being the epitome of love.. youre bound to feel negative emotions due to others who arent.

True, so in a way to adjust myself and emotion to a situation that best minimizes the negative, or intensity. Thank tou so much, I agree. Everyone has this True Nature as unconditional love, my ego gets in the way when emotional where I'm expecting others to appreciate the love I want to express and share, and they just don't care to accept it. It's impossible to become a bitter indivudal due to external reasons though. this is the answer tbh. I know how freeing the detachment and observance can be, meditation is the key. Even if around anyone who has a lot of pent up energy and hastiness, detachment is a luxury! Thanks

Thanks for the advice, I will listen to them. though I still wish to lessen the intensity of emotions such as sorrow or joy. I'd want to share my happiness and love with everyone who I know and dont. When I'm sad, it's like I became the wing of a fly. Not easy. I know is impossible to shut off emotions , not to mean stifling them but just.. not feel anything, detached. It must be nice.

I can relate to blankness of the mind. Sometimes it saddens me, because no thoughts are going on and it's as if being absent-minded but not entirely. Can't hold a conversation for long period of time without depleting my thought space haha.. Sometimes, it's a good thing because you have unhurried peace. For mindfulness iit helps to have something that catches your interest and get the wheels turning in the brain. A poetry book for example, or listening to an audio of your poems etc. like this.. While I admit all this could be due to stress or traama I am not forcing myself to think like everyone anymore. If you force, it's going to make it a pain. Idk maybe there is a medication, I would find a herbal alternative like a strong healthy tea that puts you in a sherlock/laser-focused mindset.. Not coffee.

@InsecureAnon why does height matter so much? Some girls find short guys adorable. Don't feel this way, its only because tou think you're short and even if the numbers say so , there are some women who feel shorter than you and thhey're actually tall. there were some days i felt small as an ant. Its all about how you percieve. People will love and be attracted to you for accepting your unique and difference of being. So let it be and love it all ❤

I like music, I consider binaural beats and mantras music too as of late its good to rest the headspace from anything. So it is still as a pond, nothing causing ripples or splashes. It also develops your trust in self. To just be certain, no doubt about whether the next thought is going to eat your mind or not lol

Hey, A question recently on my mind is if it's possible to develop your interests, or even many preferances and does this contribute to your ego? In my understanding and to put in my own words the ego means an identifying 'I' built upon external influences such as upbringing etc. or the me that talks down on you and wants it 'my way or its the highway'. Also a sense of myself that overlaps and obscures the true Self, pure Consciousness. Is this correct? Also , i wonder is an all or nothing or perfectionist/exacting attitude a facet of the ego? Thank you

@VeganAwake very beautiful indeed

very good ansers!! thank you

I'm nervous to tackle what's called the ego, or egoic mind. Still trying to research and make a distinction between Self and the ego. Are our ego voice different? Mine is tyrannical. As far as I know I can be selfish, also self-criticising. Humility is there but I think it's a blur of low self esteem too. I have been reading about ego death, does it mean we create a new ego which isn't negative and layered with so many conditioning/trauma/insecurities? Those who have dissolved their ego, what are your best techniques? And which specific meditation? Thank you

@WelcometoReality If someone tells me what to do and I don't listen, then I get really obstinate and be hard on myself to find the problem. I try to advise others so they get better but when they don't listen, I will still try to fix things that need time, and not my input.. i suppose.. this is the answer to my question then. To go with the flow and stop being like sherlock holmes about spirituality.

I have uncovered a problem I want to add here, if anyone knows what this is.. I'm childlike sometimes, I do make sure to acknowledge I'm not a kid but I can't just act my age or sound knowledgable even if I tried. This happens often and I'm making effort to change this with inner chile work, and notifying my family to stop babying me. Finally getting somewhere. I have googled why I'm often like this, and the search result gave "age regression' have asked family member about what doo you think of me? And she said you sound like 14. Whyy. How can this be explained, does it mean I need to gain more life experience? I'm an introvert so that's a clue but, I have heard many introvert adults who sound like their age. I just end up bawling my eyes ot because I can see the difference is so contrasting.

hahah... why are they naked? It is graphic. Is this what it means for the manta, I am not the mind. I am not the body ? Somebody, help.

yes.. incredible!! ?

@Nahm thank you! that is good then. I do believe during a still mind it's very grounding and being present. If we practice Oneness a lot will we be permanent at this? I suppose the egoic mind always catches up somehow what do you think of affirmations? Sometimes I see it as a bandaid to the ego, if the real inner and shadow work isn't attended to.

@Nahm hi, when you say no thoughts of yourself.. Does it mean like a blank, still mind? Not absent-minded but just.. empty I have this from time to time, until the influx of thinking/questioning gears up. I wondered if it's due to meditation or I might just be dumb (yea yea negative self-talk but this one seems like an honest speculation)..

hi, Can this be described as kundalini activation - a heat stir at base of spine but it faded during meditation. I am new to this. I have since not had the same reaction. Except a surplus of energy I somehow stay up until 4am even when I'm fatigued.. I have since adjusted and got to sleep at 12am , but i awoke at 3 (could be bc a mosquito came in from the window).. I'm less insecure, too. Though not entirely. What do you think of the aforementioned? Can a small spontaneous Kundalini 'awakening' continue throughout your life and workk on you until it becomes fully awake? Or will it become dormant if you aren't actively seeking spirituality or meditating anymore? thank you

@Anahata yes , I know of this. the I AM. Pure consciousness/God/Source. ty for answering

@lmfao you mean like shadow work?

@anderson but you mean my avatar doesn't exist. the Self does, right? Just making sure.
