Hey Check out this video https://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-not-to-die-an-animated-summary/ I think this is a good site, I've learned a lot last couple of days. Download the daily dozen app and you see there's a lot you can eat. Ask your parents what makes them so sure they're right, lol.

Are you vegan?

"Lose" the "ability" I get what you mean. But if a desire to do something comes up it will probably unfold in that direction. Like things already has. Do you imagine that there is all these desires to do other things than what is being done spontaneously by the body? "Oh no I wan't this to happen, but I'll guess I'll see how it plays out and what the body will do" lol The awareness is watching. The awareness can't be sad. What/who would feel a loss of control?

Betting it all on red.

Thinking of cutting off reading the news. It fills me with negativity. It reinforces "the world is a bad place" mentality for me. But it's like I have to know if something big is going down.

@ThirdEyeSees She also got a youtube channel.

Check out the full playlist, it includes 5 meditations.

LOL! I watched a clip by him right before reading your comment. Haven't watched him in several years. What are the odds

Do you feel the need to fit in with that description?

I hear some say when you truly realize there's no real death, there's relief. I just wonder why it's a relief? Who knows how much suffering awaits...

@The Monk This is truly a masterpiece. Brings me to tears. I can sense there's a deeper meaning and a story behind this incredible work of art. Makes me forget about all of my problems for a moment. I'm blessed living in the same era as you and be able to enjoy this. Thank you!

Good thread. But haven't you done other things in personal development past 2 years so there's a chance you overestimate how much the cold showers have actually done for you? My excuse is that I seem to be a "cold person" (lol). I'm often freezing when I wake up already and when I'm outside I'm often freezing depending on the weather when others don't. When I was younger and was out in cold weather I could get rash on my face and my fingers would swoll up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_urticaria But haven't experienced this for many years now I think.

Doesn't it just mean that the awareness is infinite? Not planets, stars, galaxys etc..?

I mean after the body dies. If this awareness which is aware of suffering in this body will be aware of it again and again in new ones to come... I can also see that it already is. Aware of everything already in other bodies.

Ok

I mean. Yes nothing can harm awareness. But still it is aware of suffering in this body. After this body dies. Who knows what more suffering there will be an awareness of? Do you get what I mean?

@MM1988 Lol. Maybe this is some kind of test by him and we're failing miserably.

Are YOU GUYS ok? Better question (btw Leo is dead)

Right From Noah Elkrief's book: This part I think is suitable to your example also:
