  1. "If you feel alone when you're by yourself, surely you're in bad company" Sadhguru Yes or no ?
  2. Doesn't excuse the insensitive part of the Strategist thinking he is above everyone though Don't worry he is acutely aware of this, it's literally untenable in his mind
  3. From what I feel nowadays, I feel that I'm not feeling love because I fear to either be overwhelmed and/or die. There is a very vivid fear that happens if I open up too much, which translate in a total blockage of all the love that is possible to feel. This is very rare, cause most of the time I just feel peaceful, and I rarely experience positive emotions (and negative emotions). I can literally feel a infinite amount of energy that could be unleashed, but is unconsciously repressed and locked in some dark cell. This is paradoxical, cause I don't feel it as I said (but I can't express it otherwise so bear with me ), except in rare cases, but even then, it's an infinite small portion of what I intuitively feel I could feel. It's like the only thing that I care about as of now, and I'm distracting myself A LOT not to just sit and see where it goes. I'm obviously willing to go on again, and is my reason of asking you for help. I kinda know what to do, but I also want all the possible help So asides the advice and questions you will write, do you know any good books/techniques that could help ? I have those books in mind: The Art Of Loving from Erich Fromm and The Power from Rhonda Byrne. Thank you
  4. That's actually one of the way to do it. The mind has to break to be able to see through itself. Either through gentle or fierce love. Ideally a mix of both ☺
  5. Thank you ? I usually listen to some beautiful music everyday, and in certain day it really makes me cry a lot. Not because I feel sad, but because I feel an orgasmic high coming from nowhere and then think of that is just the tip of the iceberg. Those moments happens more and more and I feel so blessed to even feel how I feel now, let alone whatever else is in front of me. It just feels too good to be true, and this is very funny considering I'm scared of that ?
  6. Before I realized you were posting one of your video I thought this was legit questions and was like: «Oh boy, you're on for a mighty ride» ?
  7. How can you prove anything that is subjective ?
  8. Love is just being ? The nouns/verb does not compute sorry ?
  9. Dodo, are you sure you've not constructed a spiritual ego so vast and grandiose that you can't admit yourself that you have no idea what you're talking about ? As in just parroting knowledge about enlightenment that rings true because you've read so much about it that you can't distinguish the concept of enlightenment to actually really experientially right now being conscious of what you truly are ? Are you sure you're not deceiving yourself ?
  10. It will be both. Easier cause you will be able to handle your emotions more easily. Harder cause the amount of emotional trauma will increase in degree.
  11. On the path to reach Strategist ? I won't be able to say «filthy hippie» anymore ? ?
  12. The reason you love your wife is because you see yourself in her. Love is fundamentally total acceptance, and when you totally accept something, You realize it is you.
  13. The catch 22 is that what leads to awakening ist to be fully conscious, happy and peaceful in this very moment. Then you'll truly want to awaken, not as a need to supress your suffering (basically a magic pill), but as a way to share how amazing you already feel.
  14. Is it the life you dream to live ? Or the life you think you need to be happy ?
  15. The thing to understand is that the very thing that want to not feel lost is what you are trying to get rid of currently. In other words you're trying to escape yourself by fighting yourself. "No I don't want to be unconscious, I hate those unconscious thoughts" It's like the dogs you see chasing their tail thinking that at some point they will be able to catch this weird prey What you want to do, is to be conscious of what is happening right now, whatever it is. I like the metaphor Sadhguru uses sometimes "If you are in the traffic, it is very annoying, very stressing (you being lost in your mind), but if you are in a balloon in the sky watching the traffic, the traffic is very peaceful, even beautiful (the real you being conscious of what's happening)" Practically speaking, you just keep observing your thoughts and emotions, as the "watcher" (not just when you sit to meditate though). At some point it will be effortless. How much time that can take is different for each person, you gotta just persist
  16. I don't expect to Leo, but I still want to see what there is to see that I fear of so much, and I definitely will That's something I often pondered. When I think back of how I (naturally) act towards people and talk to them, I often realize that I must appear loving, even though I don't feel anything myself. As in love was working through me, but the little self Shin can't feel the energy/love itself. It is there doing its thing, but is not consciously perceived psychologically and emotionally speaking.
  17. I think the best thing you could do is to ask why you feel guilt. You ask this question and just wait to get and answer. The answer you are waiting for is not a sentence in your head (not a thought), which is logical, but an insight. What is an insight is very difficult to express with words, but it's something close to a gut feeling (intuition), except it feels so true and is so direct that there is no ambiguity, it will feel 100% trustable, even beyond that actually. To know if you're bullshitting yourself about having an insight, one thing to keep in mind is that if you really have one, you won't feel either happy or sad, it will just be the truth. After you had it you can definitely feel happy or sad (mostly the later ) though.
  18. There is not a God and you, there is just God. It's when you forget that that you suffer, because you believe you are mortal and can be hurt. Becoming more conscious means being infinite in all possible ways. Which includes infinite happiness, love and joy. You won't experience those if you believe you're a finite and limited human. There is nothing wrong experiencing what you experience now though, and don't HAVE TO do anything that you don't want to do. Just keep in a corner ofyour head thenext time you suffer greatly that you could feel infinite love, peace, whatever you want instead ☺
  19. I don't care about «Nofap». Just do what I'm saying. This isn't an ideology from my pov, it is 100% experiential.
  20. If you ejaculate, you shorten your life expectancy, your health as a whole, and your energetic level. By energetic level I mean how much you can do in a day, and how amazing you feel both physically and mentally. That's explicit enough, and now if you keep doing it, and not try seriously to restrain from it, then you're just burrying your head in the sand. I don' care what you guys do, if you believe me, or if you agree with me though, I'm just telling you that you're wasting a big chunk of your health and energy for 5 seconds of pleasure per day (assuming you only fap once a day). That must be how Leo feels sometimes, trying to tell things that are so good for you, but you insist on being a donkey and telling yourself "NOOOOOOOOOOOO I can't do it, this isn't even true, I'm a donkey !!! I SWEAR !!!"
  21. Stop having fancies ideas and just empirically experience what I'm saying. ???
