It's everything, not nothing.

Yes

Lol. Nice. in the end though, oddly, it just leaves me more uncertain. ? "Total Zeroness"?

@jse It's just my understanding, but I think the "classical argument for the unknowable" was resolved with the uncertainty principle. It shows that the error was in our thinking that the particle was in a specific place to begin with, which it was not. It was in superposition.

Honesty is the foundation

Itches are a good sign. It's your brain sending an 'itch' to your body to see if the body is still awake, since the brain can't tell between 'real' and 'in the mind'. Don't scratch em, and you'll soon be conscious without being able to feel the spacial location of your body, which is a nice break. Try doing 30 - 60 minutes of cardio before meditation. It should solve your falling asleep issue. Do both in the morning too.

I don't know man, this dog looks smart af. That's contemplation in those eyes.

Ya. Einstein was no Einstein I guess. If we can't imagine something we have not experienced, how did we go to the moon, or invent tablets, or discover cells, or write new stories, invent new characters, or write sci-fi movies, or find America, or create vibrators? You solve that vibrator mystery PureExp, and I think you're really on to somethin.

Supply and demand is a misnomer. There is no shortage of anything. Demand and value is perception. There is no shortage of diamonds, art, money, food, water, etc. Art sells for tens of millions of dollars because someone has billions of dollars. It is relative to the psych issues of the potential buyers. So if you want to make money as an artist, learn some psychology and marketing. You can create & market a demand, or if you want the big money, you had better accomplish some serious transcendence and don't be shy about people hearing your story. It's your story they pay for. A billionaire thinks they can buy someone's story and now it's their story. This Jackson Pollock painting sold for around $150,000,000. He accomplished the perfect recipe: Known to be a recluse. Struggled with alcoholism / addiction He was an asshole to people and was kicked out of multiple schools He transcended the art produced before his life So definitely don't do what anyone else has done (lot's PD time likely here) and it doesn't hurt one bit to tell some newspaper art critics that you'll give them a percentage what you make those big bucks. Good luck! Post some of your work here? Please

Yes. Nonthinking is the way. But, I guess I only say that now, after so many years of thinking, just to see nonthinking.

"If you really want to be free of your problems, tell them to an owl"

@Venus Sounds like there is a lot of stand still from seeing both sides of things. Do you really meditate every morning? If so, what kind of meditation? With regards to the beliefs, do you see any corilations between how your parents were / are, what beliefs you created with regard to them? Is this processes helping at all to see that much of your suffering is just from these beliefs? Is letting go of them because they're just beliefs within sight yet? The relief that will come?

I feel bad now, I thought Vincent Price died already.

That's so great to hear! Thank you.

@SLICKHAWK ?? Just throwing some thoughts down, hope one helps- I have kids that age. I have to remind myself all the time just how simple I have to communicate to reach them. It is a gift because I have to really let go and surrender to the moment to get to simple. Also, kids actually believe it when grownups say "you are _______" And..I think the language of kids is, Fun. Here's a game we made. simple fun. When we play it, their state of mind is such that they openly talk about whatever and they associate the fun state of mind with the thing that was a problem to them before. Like how we're all trying to maintain an increase in state of mind / being, the game does it for them. It's ridiculous. That kind of fun.

@Akeberg Your body and emotions are trying to tell you something that you aren't understanding. You have inaccurately made a correlation between people pleasing and your mood dropping. You're just sinking to their lower mood. That's all. Make your mood / how you feel, the most important thing, period. Some examples from my life / psyche: When I put how I feel first, above all else, I start feeling great. When I feel great I am a much better; dad, husband, boss, friend, peer, forum bullshitter, etc. ?

You are the chooser. That special week, something triggered you to choose your own path towards happiness. You didn't keep on that path, so the momentum of your old path / ways came back. Appreciate that power of your own mind. See that you felt terrible from the momentum or days or what you put in front of yourself. See that you can eventually be very happy, all you have to do it point yourself in that direction. The easiest way would be to listen to positive stuff while you're playing your video games. Be easy on yourself. If it takes a month until you start feeling better, let that be ok. At the worst, it's a month of chilling and playing video games. I promise you though, if you have such videos on, even while playing games, you are soaking it up. When you get feeling good again (another special week so to speak) be sure to keep it going. I recommend Abraham Hicks on YouTube. It may seem silly or 'full of shit' but you have to realize what you're putting in front of you is what you're thinking about, and your emotions and perspective are coming from what you're thinking about.

@blacksapp What is your underlying negative future view?

@carlos flores I have been around many panic attacks, and people who beat them. For good. My 2 cents- panic attacks come from an underlying very pessimistic future outlook, combined with a daily grind of work or school. When we ignore our deeper shitty outlook, (ego), we have that underlying shitty feeling that gets triggered by things that sometimes, we are not even aware of. It takes time, but IMO, to be rid of panic attacks, one has to put some time in focusing on positive outlooks / future. Abraham Hicks and Tony RObins come to mind. Seen "I am not your Guru" yet? Try it. If it's good and on point, recommend it to your friend.

@100rockets Ya. What did you do? Great to hear you're finding hope. I assume you're young, like 16-23. Don't write your life off. When I was 20, I was where you are. Total fucking hopelessness and suicidal tendencies. (I never thought about doing it, but I did feel that it would have been better) The thing is, you DON"T KNOW what your life is going to pan out to be. I found this tiny little crack of hope way back then, and it led to a wonderful life. Actual fulfillment and satisfaction. Hang in there. It WILL get better. There are equal opposites at play. To the extent you have dove down deep into the abyss, if you just hang on for a while, you will equally rise to the bliss. All is relative to your experiencing, it can be no other way.

Just curious, if we're all the offspring of Cain, who is the female involved in that?

@Extreme Z7 "Try"? Who says that? Do. Now. This is anonymous right? You have NOTHING to lose and EVERYTHING to gain right? So type a few things right now that feel good to think about. NOTICE how you feel good thinking about them. Build that habit. Let it be simple. I'll go first.... sex playing guitar protein shakes beauty laughing epiphanies

@0ne You can want to exist. Quantum Erasure has proven you could have "died" a million times already and not even know it. Pick good. Start small.

Check out Bruce Lipton too. Epigenetics is powerful. A paradigm for sure, but a much better one than "I was born this way". (Mentally speaking)

@Mondsee Thinking a physical location will calm your mind is procrastining. Build the habit of being aware of the background that is the superposition pure intelligence oneness. It is calm, silent, still and unseeable, but it is not unobservable. Feel it's presence when your parents start their bullshit. Connect to it. Be in it's peaceful embrace. It is everything and it is everywhere. Take comfort in knowing that everything is made of it, so no matter where you go, you are always surrounded by God. God is literally all things. Build the habit of connection, and you will be powerful. You will influence people and situations, eventually, without saying a word.
