My imaginary brain hurts.

@at_anchor I relate to a lot of what you said. Have you considered therapy? It’s not too late to start that.

None of us are AWAKE, so feel free to respond to as many threads as you’d like!

And you don’t? Make sure you’re applying your criticisms of others to yourself as well. Widen your perspective

I have the opposite problems. I deal with a bunch of “what ifs” in my mind and fear the worst scenarios that could happen. The mind is hella tricky! Solving God won’t happen through positive thinking… negative thinking… hell, maybe not even through neutral thinking. So what is the solution?

I’ve never heard of them before, where did you hear about them?

This reminds me of the importance of expanding your mind and not looking at reality myopically. I only recently been discovering the importance of this. I originally thought that the mind was some nefarious thing that needed to be shut down in order to find peace. So I spent many years wasting my time trying to find that peace. While “quieting the mind” may be important in certain contexts, there’s definitely more to self-discovery than that. A lot more. And the big trap / mistake is convincing yourself that you can become enlightened and all your problems go away like a Disney movie ending. — Let’s also look at it from another lens. Say I was at a food court eating with a friend, and I proudly say, “I killed people.”. A stranger sitting at the table next to us might feel deeply disturbed and might even want to contact mall security. But if I were to simply add a few words, such as, “I killed people while playing Grand Theft Auto.”, it completely changes the context and the emotional response.

That’s why I said basic example. There are an infinite more things you can discover. The whole truth? Perhaps you want to discover that you’re imagining everything. If that’s your goal.

@Jehovah increases precisely

I’ve communicated with aliens a few nights ago. They are definitely more intelligent than humans and have technology more advanced than humans. This encounter only lasted a few minutes.

Nobody is stopping you but you. Only YOU exist.

The work is also about how Infinite Mind imagines ego ? This work ain’t easy. There’s a bunch of deceptions. Also, this is why this even transcends psychotherapy (which is still important for people like me who have mental health conditions). While psychotherapy is done to help people readjust their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, spirituality is about becoming directly conscious of Reality itself -Reality doesn’t need to be fixed because: Fixing and people are imaginary!

The goal isn’t to traumatize the ego, it’s to become directly conscious of how your mind works

Yup, I’ve faced a bunch of dark, intrusive thoughts even before discovering psychedelics. If anything, psychedelics actually helped give me that contrast of heaven and hell like you mentioned, then I was able to get proper help for my mental health conditions and neurodiversity (e.g. OCD). This didn’t come easy at all, and it’s still something I work on a daily basis. Constantly avoiding / running away from difficult emotions isn’t going to be the long-term solution. You have to be willing to face them head on, even the ones that freak you out. Start small first, then work towards more challenging stuff. Also, the problem is when you give additional meaning to the difficult emotions while simultaneously suppressing them. This reassurance seeking is a sneaky way to distract yourself from actually facing uncomfortable aspects of yourself. Leo had a great blog post recently which ties-in well:

Still a good practice to face your fears strategically even while not on psychedelics. That takes being real honest with yourself.

How would you even know that, though? Based on how people act? How does a seriously Awoken Being act? What even is the difference between a person and a being ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@r0ckyreed Haha, “blissipline”! First time I’ve heard that term before What do you mean?

Both, depending on the context. As a very basic example, if a family member finally reveals a secret that they’ve kept to themselves for over a decade. It was a mystery before, but now new information is known. Once the mystery is revealed, your whole life changes pretty dramatically. Have you noticed this?! Also, have you taken psychedelics before?

@Magnanimous Have you ever considered using AI, such as GPT-4, to help with your writing? Doesn’t have to write for you, but it can give you suggestions and expand your ideas. I basically had GPT-4 write this story below. It didn’t get the story the way I wanted it the first time, so I gave GPT-4 more suggestions on how to revise it until it finally sounded good to me. I felt like a director on a movie set, haha.

That would of course depend on your definition of “something” “outside” “infinity”, along with all the other words ?

Not as long as you keep speculating

”Good” people can act like that behind closed doors, though.
