@Joseph Maynor ego trancendence is a result of enlightenment. Or one could say that there the same as both require freedom from ego.

You feel how you think. Mental mastrubation is part of life. Might aswell enjoy it.

@hinawashi realize that this is nothing more then you not wanting to accept what is. Our egos say everything needs to be conform with our opinions and beliefs. This is a obviuse illusion that is easy to forget about.

Nothing. Besause he doesnt exist nore does it lead to anything. Instead i talk to my future self (who again doesnt exist) who is awsome. Which motivates me. Or in other words: focus on the future instead of the past. Where do you want to be in 10 years?

@spicy_pickles get back your vision of the future. Im going to this ... and that.... and its going to be fucking amazing

@Angelique everything is a illusion. Even more so, you giving a certain value to something based on your ideas. We live in a illusion. And illusions are all we have. So they might aswell be absolute truths. Theres no diference.

@onacloudynight motivation is not something magical that you get for no reason. Before you got it and didnt understand why. Motivation and desire is ego. And in order to experiance it you need to allow it. Enlightenment is freedom from ego and not no-ego. On the other side. The suffering due to a lack of motivation and desire is also ego. Its your choice what you pay attention to. And if you want to live and enjoy life, you need to pay mind to something.

Yes it will. Like with all. You must find the cause of the problem to find a solution

You and your own way are but a concept in the mind, that change constantly. New knowlage and imformation, regardless of source will be added to it. The less neurosis you have the more positive your own way becomes.

A concept in your mind that you mentaly mastrubate about couse your bord?

Lower your sugar intake so you dont have ups and downs. And motivation.

Be present in your body and not in you head. You cant truly feel the wind on your skin and mentaly mastrubate at the same time. Guess why they say focus on your breathing to relax Try some things out where you dont think. Like walking the dogs and simply feeling your feet, the wind, etc. All is nothing. When you believe it is something you are mentaly mastrubating again.

By realizing and accepting there is nothing to understand and that you are just mentaly mastrubating

A very harsh almost unaceptable truth is that your depression is self inflicted and you enjoy the suffering. Are you willing to meditate on that We all enjoy suffering. Thats why we do it. This probably goes way to deep but true none the less. In short its part of the experiance we create for ourselfs. However the important thing is that its optional. We can stop suffering simply by being aware of the truth.

Try not thinking by focusing on your body. Give joga nidra (sleep joga) a try.

You find nothing and the lose nothing. Then you panic yourself about losing nothing. Doesnt make sense right ? You want something and cant grasp it, have fear it will never stick (ego screwing you) and get anxiety. Makes more sense ? Self honesty will help you

There are no cons. You can however make up cons, but they will be a ilusion, like so much more

@faithful if there inteligent they stay far away from this planet

Truth is nothing. The rest is mental mastrubation. Long distance could work but i guess one eventualy needs to move. Go for it. Life is taking risks.

That you will mentaly mastrubate about it for weeks and that its all mental mastrubation about nothing

@Memeito stop thinking . Realy, and no thinking about stopping to think.

@Seraph one is freedom from ego, the other is ego development

The ego loves saying, hey im enlightend as fuck. To the observer saying this for egos sake doesnt make sense unless authority is required for practical reasons, which often isnt the case. On the other hand interaction is ego based

The simplest things in life are often the hardest things to grasp .

By stopping to mentaly mastrubate about this all the time and realizing it has no practical relevance in your life.
