Questioning and Considering Everything

[Caoimhin]

So I've gotten to a point where I'm questioning everything. I'm also considering everything. I'm not sure what is true and I guess I'm waiting for the dust to settle...  How do you guys ground yourselves when reality seems groundless? I've subscribed to many things, but most signification influences have been LOA, New Thought, and certain aspects of Christianity, but everything is being considered and questioned and some things are terrifying me with the implications. All that said, I'm mentally stable and functional, I've just been having moments of intense not knowing and questioning reality...

Consider what it is like to be mentally unstable and dysfunctional. 

Are you willing to experience that? Why would that not also be an aspect of Truth?

@Caoimhin impermanence Is a core concept to understand reality . This is obvious enough. Nothing at all stays the same even for a nanosecond. From the planets and stars to the atoms and electrons . Everything is constantly fluctuating without stop.

You are asking  how do we ground ourselves? How is it that we can ground ourselves in a reality that is constantly changing?..How are we able to do it?..

The answer is we aren't.  As you just described your life is a mess and a cocktail of chaos .thats not a mistake .thats how its supposed to be.

The problem is that this all becomes a function of the Mind and Concepts and Intellectual Understanding, and the Ego needs concrete stability to feel safe.. Intellectually You will not Understand everything and anything, As Yimpa says, there is Mental Instability and Dysfunction, I wouldn't label this as "Truth" more of a Potential, does that mean I have to experience it to live a total and complete life? No I don't, so all of this sort of thing is calculation and survival level of Living and Awareness..

Just try not to think about stuff so much, take care of Your Basic needs, be Happy and Healthy naturally as possible, Accept things as they are, Live Now, this alone will cease the Stress response from happening generally, then Peace becomes Your natural state of Being, establish BEINGNESS above all first and foremost, then go out and DO or HAVE,.,then see how life is for You!

[Caoimhin]

@Someone here like a groundless ground

[Caoimhin]

@Ishanga yeah, i need to move more into being rather than be thinking, let that be my guide

@LoseYourvelf I think what he is pointing to is acceptance

Yes, BEING is when Your Intouch with Who You Are, Intellect is when You using outside sources for information, how to believe it? You can completely know if Your BEINGNESS is established, all that there is too know You can know this way. With Intellect You will never know because whatever someone tells You something, it may be Truth for them, but its a story for You or anyone listening, until something becomes a personal experience for You, its all stories or theories, or philosophies, they may be good in the beginning but are not the complete way to really know Life totally!
