then why did you create this thread? are you running away from your social phobia when deep deep inside you may not be so sure about your lonely satisfaction? do you strive to maintain the mask of the satisfied lonely guy but you secretly watch porn, masturbate and waste the shit out of your sexual energy more or less everyday? how hard is it to feed the politically correct self-image when you are actually carrying a crapload of guilt and fear within you?

@Weltschmerz it's just your imagination. if you're going to open your mind, be responsible for what you let in. these beliefs are clearly decreasing your life quality. you used to run late at night in the dark forest. that was fucking awesome. throw them away again.

@Vladimir we're already working together. i don't see your point. what else would you want? if you want to contribute to humanity in a richer way, try starting a meditation group where you live. invest in permaculture. start an organic food business. become an yoga teacher by reaching self-mastery. work on your channel and inspire people around you. do things in real life. this online environment can't go further than this, really.

becoming THAT is already doing enough. desiring power or starting any kind of group fantasy simply feeds the cycle of ignorance. do it for compassion. we're not more special than anyone. face it straight.

@Vladimir don't go that way. it won't work. instead, simply stop consuming red meat and chicken stop consuming milk stop consuming white sugar stop buying useless clothes turn off your tv and global news on the internet find a way out of oil dependence. use electrical cars, bicycles and your legs don't consume and don't share trash culture don't consume pornography develop deep respect for women cultivate a healthy and pure body so you don't depend too much on the government to pay for your health you just need to transform yourself. we just need to stop playing the hypocrite role.

this is a horrible advice for beginners. as beginners, we do need to perform a shift on the things we value in our lives. we need the willpower to go from unhealthy to healthy. when we play the role of those who provide guidance, it's also a chance for us to expand our own consciousness due to the fact that we need to be truly humble and compassionate, since it's not about our correctness.

@WaterfallMachine here you go

@harisankartj i'll give you some examples gross experiences: going to heavy parties to get drunk and stunned; being addicted to sexual satisfaction; clinging to massive social/media acknowledgment; craving for material ostentation. subtle experiences drinking tea mindfully; talking to other person while making full eye contact; listening deeply to the environment and contemplating your breath; walking slowly without any achievements in mind, not even a place to get to.

@Mondsee he's extremely attached to you and suffers a lot. it's that simple. the solution, in other hand, is not, because it involves pain, frustration. if you live trying to postpone/avoid that pain, you'll be feeding his attachment and your prison, which causes more suffering to both of you. if you face it for once and start living for the sake of your freedom, there will be liberating pain (not suffering) for both of you. talk to him about his attachment to control and how it affects your life.

@Black Flag you're experiencing spiritual poverty. your sources of happiness are doomed to give you frustration. you still depend on external approval. you depend on the acceptance of your parents and you depend on your intimate relationship. you want to fulfill external expectations that you accepted as being yours. you may find true happiness on the attainment of a peaceful of mind, which does not depend on those external factors. it takes a lot of practice and patience. try improving your eating habits. try yoga classes. try joining a zen sangha. do something different because the outcome won't change if you keep living day after day being ruled by the same destructive patterns. change completely. let the old you die.

@Miguel Oliveira in order to understand this, you have to experience what you are right now and what the fundamental nature of reality is. don't simply accept/deny traditions because they're just another system of beliefs. they'll never heal your thirst. you need to investigate it by going deep in yourself. whatever Truth is, it happens to you, in you, through you. you don't need to go anywhere else. you don't need to ask anybody else. and if you do, the answer will never be really satisfying, will it? how do you come to be right now? let this question sink deeply in you.

@Mario you have to find your way out of this mental masturbation. you're trying to solve thoughts with thoughts and it's an endless battle. get out of the mud! go back to your breathing! do it while you sit, stand and lie down. do it 100 times in a day. do it 100000 times in a day. do it as many times as you can recall the attitude of Practice.

@Mario unconditional love includes yourself, so stop redirecting your judgments towards you. instead, just throw them away. if you want to do something to help her, just stop by and listen to her passively. human beings live in endless struggles.

hi. there's no ultimate authority other than intuition and direct experience. these words on the screen are made out of nothingness and there's nobody actually reading them. they're just floating in the field of awareness. what is the fundamental truth behind words? be eternally free.

every moment feels intense and unique as i walk around and contemplate the mystery of reality simply happening.

when i really got it, it felt like i was practicing self-inquiry with my entire body. the feeling is amazingly terrifying.

@Henrik_Sahlen deep deep inside you're like "oh i'm such an egoless person. i'm so special!" quit this bullshit. everyone is responsible for his own peace and happiness. you can do nothing to provide true peace and happiness to your girlfriend. that's HER job. you think you're being altruist but you're just polishing your self-image, trying to look like a good person to others. i know thy bones inside out. you spend so much time and energy trying to hide your insecurities! give the fuck up. humble yourself down and just sit quietly.

i see. these symptoms are certainly correlated.

buddha's 4 noble truths to free myself from the attachment to the relative the teachings of a brazilian enlightened being called mestre gabriel to free myself from the attachment to the absolute

it means attachment to a mentally cultivated self-image that's subjected to arbitrary plots, which are also created by the mind. this process is triggered by a type of misuse of the mind in which the person unconsciously starts to group memories in such an order that builds up the perfect victim (or the perfect hero). why do i call it misuse of the mind? because the human access to the mind can be used for much more interesting tasks instead of wasting vital energy in such a petty addiction.

nooo. it doesn't work. you're just facing more words.

@kieranperez an enlightened being finds it very easy to accept others as they are. in my experience i enjoy the presence of healthy and interesting people. the simple act of being in their presence already feels great; i approach toxic people as a passive listener. they always have deep wounds which they struggle to get in touch with. compassion is a great healer and i enjoy watching people being able to heal themselves. an enlightened being finds it easy to date because he does not suffer from neediness/attachment/possession/jealousy. he also has perfect mental balance and does not let his sexual urges guide his life. in fact, his intimate relationship reaches the purpose of expanding human consciousness as an example of moral righteousness and integral health. adyashanti and mukti are great examples to me.

yoga teaches me how to manage my sexual energy and zen teaches me contentment

@Deep beautiful... simply beautiful. how does that insight change your daily life? how do you turn that intellectual comprehension into wisdom? what limits you?
