The only thing you should be hyped about: CONSCIOUSNESS

The beginning and the end are paradoxically identical

Scaffolding is indeed important. Don’t want to start at floor 100 when your building currently only goes up to 10. But don’t confuse higher levels as better than lower levels. —- Much like the climax of a movie is not inherently better or worse than the earlier or later parts of the movie. Humans project that. You can’t have a beautiful climax without those other scenes. At least, not as deep. But I will admit, only understanding snippets of a film are not inherently flimsy. They make for great reinterpretations.

Spiritual work may appear like laziness, but it’s far from it. Society is lazy for not prioritizing spirituality and holism.

Don’t beat yourself up. It doesn’t do you any good in the long-run. Make identifying negative thoughts and sensations part of your spiritual practice - recontextualize and expand upon them. This will be intuitive over time.

I feel like I’m being personally attacked, and I don’t like it! And now for insight: Hard work is what you make of it. Don’t allow others to define what hard work is for you. They give pointers, but you inevitably decide what to do and learn how you’ll go about it.

Sadhguru is one of the happiness gurus I ever met. A wise teacher speaks in paradoxes. A wise student dies to love and becomes one with the master. Become one with the soil :-P

How many of you are filling out this questionnaire while on psychedelics. Don’t be sneaky now!!

Love. Embrace the sensations as if experiencing them for the first time. Love awakes You.

Content vs. Structure. You may simply be in the wrong structure. Don’t continue convincing any content of that, though. Don’t judge yourself harshly, though. What was once the right structure for us no longer is valid, like clothing you outgrow after adolescence. The clothing isn’t the problem, so no need to yell at your socks for not fitting.

You’re ineffably Consciousness.

Did you know back in the day you had to wait THREE whole years for a new Star Wars Movie? We’re so spoiled nowadays with an endless waterfall of content. Slow down!!!

OCD can manifest in any way. OCD don’t have rules, but sure creates a crap ton of them to ruin your life. Look up the OCD subtypes if you want to categorize your OCD more broadly. There are other antidepressants you can try. They don’t all work the same way despite being all antidepressants. When all else fails, look into ketamine treatments.

Invest into ERP with a therapist who is actually trained in understanding OCD deeply and Exposure Response Prevention (ERP). This is the gold standard treatment for OCD. Doing it saved my life. Took me over a year of challenging work, so don’t expect long-term results overnight. You need to practice ERP daily.

Does that camera have footage of Bigfoot or aliens? Maybe a lot of pictures of big feet and sexy aliens

Wtf, I just realized I made this topic on my birthday

Man, that’s like having Michael Jordan on your basketball team and having him benched the entire game.

Hello y’all. Here’s a deep insight into attachment I’ve held in my secret journal since last August. I felt it was too vulnerable for me to share at the time, but now I’m ready to share! Slight edits have been made for clarity’s sake. Maybe you can relate to this experience, or maybe not. Either way, thank you for reading! ————- I was meditating this morning, and halfway through the session I observed my heart gradually beating faster and more intensely. Within a few seconds it became pretty intense. This is what I imagine people go through during their final moments before death. I’ve had this sensation many times before, with my usual response to avoid or distract myself. But this time was different. I made a commitment to explore deeper and to trust in whatever experience was to arise. Soon after, I had a vague, but deeply intimate image of my father. I realized in that moment how much love I have for him. I was filled with regret, sadness, and complete loneliness at how disconnected I’ve been to him. Yet, what was also very clear in that moment is how I am creating him. I had an urge to deepen and protect this relationship / creation, but I quickly realized that the mistake was to do exactly that. Something in me intuitively understood that I was attempting to reconnect with him from a place of fear and selfishness. So I let that image and idea of him go. My state of consciousness also went back to baseline. What I learned from that meditation session is that I’m still clinging onto relationships in this unstable way. I also realize how out of touch we are when we’re deeply engaged in the day-to-day life (i.e. our survival strategies). We keep chasing a final/complete/perfect destination that’s supposedly waiting for us; that we need to strive for and maintain it. Wisdom is teaching me that there’s not much time left; that the need for security and comfort can only go so far. And far it never goes. I’d rather open up to Truth in what I call Inclusive Unification. That is, the state of Being which incorporates the entire field of experience while simultaneously expanding beyond what we cling onto. Unifying all pieces of the same puzzle, while simultaneously not being attached to any particular puzzle piece. I still have much work on healing myself, but this was a powerful glimpse into the nature of attachment. The possibilities are miraculous if I stay committed and honest on this journey!

Focus less on the how to do something and more on how it feels to be deeply engaged in such activities. Your internal compass guides you.

You cannot force anything with consciousness - anything goes. Even limitations and close-mindedness. Seriously, what would have authority over Consciousness, which is NOW?
