No You are already present the whole day. Its just that your attention is somewhere else. What you are doing is controlling where your attention goes to. I must stay present thinking is mental masturbation between egos. Which is fine, as this is progress in a sense. True presence in a sense is awareness without thinking. But don't worry to much about that cause you can easily mindfuck yourself into thinking that you are not thinking. Focus on how the air feels on your hand when you are outside, feel how the water goes over your hands when you wash them, feel your big toe in your shoes, etc. This is effortless. When you do this, your attention is on your body and out of your head. The attention will go from your body to your head all the time. That is fine, don't try to resist this. This practice is about you becoming aware of your attention on a other level.

Dont we do if for the feeling we get when we do?

Feeling lonely is part of the ego

Every word someone says is interpreted different by the one who hears it. Sometimes a little and sometimes a lot. We all have diferent minds. Could the time that you spend watching tv be used somewhere else that is more productive for your life? Probably. Guess that is the general message of the video.

You could also take it further. Like staying present when walking the dog for 20 min. Or other activity that doesn require much thinking.

@Venus you need to think to function. Its more about the credit and importance you are giving to your thoughts. You can repace a negative thought with a thought of a tomato. But fact is both are a thought and in that sense equal. Just stop attaching to it. Make a daily routine where you do not think. So that becomes a natural state. From that state all will become clear. Get out of your head. A simple trick is to bring your attention to body sensations.

My ego He says: sorry cant come up with more

@Saba you never know for sure. But i call it BS untill my ego gets proven otherwise

By nature somone proportional, healthy, semetrical. Or in other words that what is likely to produce good offspring.

@Nahm about a year. After a few awakenings, where i realized that even the awakenings where ego. Then i let go off all and accepted nothing as the default. (a lot of suffering and death of my dad and pets speed up the process exponentialy) I guess theres also the not wanting to be responsible thing. Its easyer to blame stuff for your suffering. Instead of being honest with yourself. When you want to change something you must always start with yourself. The rest will follow. Everyone knows this, but forgets. Like why did you go to school and learn stuff . P.s. pain could also be experianced as pleasure, its called bdsm

@100rockets you have a awnser but instead want me to tel you to run around your house 100 times per day . Sometimes you just need to do one million rounds in order to realize its pointless. Have fun

Bad advice First awnser the quesion to who wants this.

One could even go as far as saying its self inflicted. (Regardless of noone wanting to hear this truth)

@Venus every ego has different beliefs. Religion in a sense is a group that agrees on a set of beliefs (regardless on then disagreeing all the time ). Beliefs should always be subject to change (openmindedness). The one constant in this reality is that all changes except for change itself.

You are what you believe yourself to be (as far as the ego is consernd).

Yes you are. And so is everyone else . We all have egos .

Nothing. Instead you stop giving the illusion so much attention and power. (Ignoring or avoiding = it so super important that i have to avoid it). You ego is experiancing the illusion. And thats fine. No need to change anything there. Same with positive things. Love without ego doesnt exist. But realize. You are in control. How much you think about it, how you feel in response to it, etc. A thought you have about a tomato is the same as a thought about your partner. They come and go, and only exist for a short time in your head.

Im in the Maslow camp

When there not to screwed up and looking for PD

Those are all things you have been told you need to think. People expect you to suffer and feel sorry (there egos demand that you share there view) and your ego has convinced you that you are a bad person when you dont. This is all delusion in our delusional world. You can still have preferences do. But they should be yours and not programming P.s. note that people do not understand this. I dont care about a lot of things but people expect me to so i pretend because they cant understand and will react delusional. Ex when someone loses family.

Hi The best way to change something on the outside is to work on the inside

@gleb in a sense you know what you need. Go with the flow and start with the things that attract you the most. It takes time to change ones ego.

I'm to lazy to read all posts

One is mental masturbation and the other is not
