Here’s a nice lentil soup recipe I make In 30 mins that lasts about a week. Carrots, celery, onion, potatoes, kale, veg broth, Etc... https://minimalistbaker.com/1-pot-everyday-lentil-soup/ I spice it up with some cumin as well

Is this cowardly? I know its just my ego but still.. the scariest thing I could ever imagine is that “I” and all “others” are illusions inside God or the big “I”. Of which I’ve had small glimpses of and have fallen back into distracting myself from the total annihilation

@Fink Ployd same! Message me

Let whatever happens happen. But carefully observe yourself - silently, without judgement. Awareness itself is curative. Leo made a video about this.

other than meditation which is the most obvious and profound, I'd say healthy eating. Im experimenting with whole food plant based right now and feel fucking amazing. My body feels transparent and like its just gently floating here. It's seriously changing my life! Im already more confident, compassionate, and energized and I'm only about a month in.

Im afraid of losing the world, but its like I'm being pulled and theres no stopping it. Truly tumbling down the rabbit hole

@Shin ha, ahh. yeah..:)

I keep having really dark feeling dreams about the nature of reality. The one I had last night consisted of me knowing i've lived millions and millions of lives and the point was trying to understand that nothing is real. Im actually very scared of nothing being real. I love the world so much, my friends and family. I want them to be real I want it all to be real, to mean something. Im scared of it all being just me. So I get that thats what they're trying to tell me, showing me my fear. They're basically like someone who i consider to be "asleep" or just would never sit down and meditate looking at me and telling me "I'm you, this isn't real" and then I wake up into another dream and it happens again. Thoughts?

@Prabhaker seriously thank you. This is great

well looks like leo's new video is just right for you:) and me

To build a nice solid foundation I suggest starting with a basic 5 by 5 routine. So do your compound lifts (bench, squat,deadlifts) and do 5 sets for 5 reps for a couple months at least. Maybe 3 to 4 times per week, upper, lower, core. Upper, lower, upper, lower.

@LifeLife I've dealt with social anxiety too. Best thing thats helped me is probably meditation, healthy eating, and exercise. Start with meditation if you don't already and if you do, do more. Anyways, don't try and not to be socially anxious. Instead be ok with it as who you are and just let it happen. When it does just watch it. Keep watching and watching and over time it will start to dissipate. Also maybe try picking up Alan Watts' book The Wisdom of Insecurity, helped me so much. Social Anxiety is a bitch but a blessing for serious growth :-)

Yeah, I've dealt with depersonalization as well. its tough and can get very fucking strange. basically I had an experience where I was playing basketball with my buddies and all of a sudden it felt as if i were on an alien planet. And i remember just looking at "their" bodies and they looked like straight up organisms is as best as i can explain it. I couldn't really interpret language and it was basically just sound coming out of their mouths. their arms looked like tentacles and hands and fingers don't even get me started. I couldn't look at my own hands without getting intense anxiety for a while so i went home and just tried to close my eyes and nap it off. Couldn't look at my own mother btw. Id say it was a mystical type experience though, i had no clue one could see the world this way. But yes, it does go away. keep meditating. I think its just when you see the truth of reality and your conditionings slip away for a second your ego freaks out and since you feel like you're a separate self the world then feels alien.
