sorry i just went on a rant of Chinese blueness. I feel better now and will look at other stage blue countries from here on out

Do you think this video also portrays their unconscious shadow, "we are not diseased and dirty its those Africans" projecting the corona virus onto them.

quite a few good examples of Chinese stage blue thinking against black people here https://twitter.com/search?q=%23ChinaMustExplain&src=typed_query

The idea of spiritual bypassing is ignoring your problems by doing spiritual practices which make you feel better but are just a distraction from your problems like a person doing drugs to distract from the misery of their life. Isn't the idea of spiritual practices that anyway? You do a practice to take you out of your thoughts and feelings and realise they are an illusion. I suppose spiritual bypassing is more in a material sense. If i gave up a job because of stress to pursue more spirituality which relieved stress would this be a spiritual bypass?

I'm currently going through Adyashanti's I am that course and would highly recommend it. I would go as far as to say he is one of the least dogmatic teachers I have ever come accross.

Is sighing a sign of running unconsciously?

Don't you think it's strange that we are "born" into this world and here the majority of us are right now living on the planet in maya/illusion? Why would it be that we have to do certain practices in order to awaken from the illusion? I understand that the default setting of ego is necessary for survival but it is awfully strange that it is illusion.

1. What is the nature of meditation and memories? I seem to be able to access memories I've completely forgotten about and they are often pleasant ones so they cant be suppressed as suppressed ones are traumas. How can this be? 2. I had 2 grandads who died in different ways. One was very mindful, he did lots of paintings and had calming hobbies which put him into a meditative state, his death was very fast. My other grandpa had quite a big ego and suffered a lot in the hospital before passing away. Is their a link between being able to let go of the ego and surrendering and death? People who can let go could just decide they want to end their suffering and leave their physical body?

The updates keep me motivated people. Keep 'em comin'

Day 12 - x3 breathing, 8 minutes in the river. I stilled my mind to the point of completely letting go of the pain and actually felt warm. There were seconds that passed when I was so present I didn't know if i was dead or alive in the river it was complete bliss. I'm really getting into this now!

I was having a debate with my dad about how we need to take into account more democratic socialism ideas. He said what would happen to business and the fact that lots of business start ups wouldn't be supported with entrepreneurs not being able to innovate. This stumped me as I didn't know their stance on this. How could i have responded?

Here's the message in full. -
The King When the King asks himself who am I? He looks at his thoughts, feelings and sensations. He comes to realise these are always temporary and have changed his whole life. “I am still here when my thoughts have gone, I haven’t always been a King so what have I always been?” The King is just an imaginary temporary limitation of a self there is - John Smith. John Smith dresses up as the king and seems to become the king but never seizes to be John Smith underneath his costume. The King isn’t separate to John Smith. There is no self called the King, There is just John Smith - He sometimes plays the King and sometimes rests at home in himself. John Smith = Awareness The King = ego

Day 9 felt harder because i had a day of yesterday - x 3 breathing 1 minute hot 3 mins cold 1 min hot 3 mins cold 1 min hot 3 mins cold. I feel like im getting massive brain freeze when i keep my head under the water too long, I noticed its easier to not move rather than dance around as it can stop the shivering. When i do the breathing exercises while taking the cold shower I have this strange familiar feeling - like its a state i've been in alot in the past even though i just started doing it. Could it be the present state i get into when i meditate? @remember I feel going hot cold is easier as your body temperature raises alot in that 1 minute and actually helps massively.

As being we are all one but the part that Im struggling to get is the individual ego. All egos must be separate from the relative point of view as we all have our own individual thoughts. Are my parents happening within my thoughts right now (solipsism) or are they separate with their own reality but as they connect to being become one? Here is a drawing to try and explain what I mean Basically is it A or B?
