Since my years long spiritual journey culminated in Trump 2.0, I’m kinda done giving

[thedoorsareopen]

*giving a shit
 

248 years of operating just fine, and I finally got over my childhood trauma, like literally last summer, and then this ridiculous scenario started.

 

So I guess it’s just not possible to chill, work a job, share some laughs, and have a good life? If it’s not decades of unexplainable emotional pain, the outside world just randomly stops functioning? Why is life like this? What was the point of all the nonduality and meditation and shit?

I feel the will to live fading.

World War I and two and everything horrific in between?

lol my man just be lucky you’re not in chronic physical pain, the world is about to change into the era of AI and you will never have to work a day in your life after that. The situation with Trump is pretty bad, but it was unlikely you were gonna be able to go your entire 100 your life without a world changing event.

As long as you get a good skill that pays decently well so you can do that comfortably for a while. You should be fine.

Go into finances.

Your too caught up in Your Mind, and what the Society (and here) is feeding it.. You have a vast intelligence within You, not the sort of Intelligence that figures out how to survive another day or how to do a rubiks cube, but a sort of intelligence that made the Creation Your 5 senses gather in everyday, most of which is not even the real reality, tap into that then what You are feeling will fade away...Don't focus on the WHY, focus on the HOW!

[thedoorsareopen]

So unless I meditate more, my higher self’s gonna destroy my world?

[Breakingthewall]

Imagine if instead of the Trump stage you were in the Ukraine stage, killing people and thinking that a bomb was going to drop on you right now. that's crazier

[Breakingthewall]

Or better yet, imagine that you are on stage: the doctor has told me that I have brain cancer and now years of decline, loss of faculties and death await me. That's a worse scenario than Trump

[Leo Gura]

Are you saying you're blackpilled due to Trump?

Certainly it is a disgusting turn of events, but the world must go on.

You don't need any spiritual positivity. What you need is to appreciate how real life is. Life is real in that politics is brutal and serious, not merely a spiritual New Age "the world is on the brink of awakening" fantasy.

The bitterness of society and politics is what makes life serious and worth living.

I do not want to live in a New Age positive fantasy, and neither should you.

It is good to be bummed out by Trump's victory for a few months. But then you use that grow yourself even higher!

I’ve been straddling suicidal ideation for 22 years, and things were starting to look better. I don’t need to appreciate any more realness.

True, maybe would be nice a world where what was serious was dedication, honor and service, truth and courage, and not that human leaders are strange psychopaths but that is not the case, the fact is that this is how it is and this seems the most effective way to evolve. In fact, human evolution is absolutely brutal, a supernova that explodes, and in 100,000 years, a cosmic sigh, has gone from the animal to the technological self conscious living being and its evolution increases in thrust without knowing what the limit is, if this limit exists.

Okay, so what? Why let such a creature influence you so much? Soon he will die of old age and the world will go on. Mankind has survived much worse. Keep things in historical context.

Sure the world is f*** up, but you need you be optimistic, negativity does not help. Don't get me wrong i am not saying you should ignore how brutal the world is but don't put too much focus on it. 

This is nothing compared to Black Death (1346–1353), WW1, WW2 and Spanish Inquisition. I have faith humanity will get through this.

The world is working in a incredible positive way and level. The human history it has gone from permanent war, slavery and brutality to the age of information, technology, the idea of a just world, where violence is minimal, and is perceived as something negative.

Until very recently, humans perceived violence as something positive. Killing someone in a fight was a source of pride. have slaves and force them to work with whips too.

Beauty is always there, one must know how to look at it. 

Completely let go and surrender, only than you can see and smell what flower is. Attachment with Thoughts and thinking makes you blind, unreleased and leave you with lots of questions/ judgements.

Exactly. Imagine see the beauty when you are sick, or when there is war around you. Seems difficult, but it's possible, beauty is always, in the core of the reality

When you realize the transcendence and that life is a path, you use everything to get deeper, then beauty could be found even in misery, sickness and pain. Probably even in torture.

@thedoorsareopen Hey man, I am in a pretty similar position to you maybe a little bit further along. You've just got to keep pushing along.. don't be afraid to feel into it. That's where the insights are.

This whole thing is so, so, so stupid. I've started to become very detached from it all. I am determined to keep living the good life and finding more mental health/spiritual growth- This isn't going to stop me. I am doing my best to position for the stupidity wave.. and learning to read the news without having such a horrible reaction. Because we cannot stop this but we can get ready. In mind/spirit/plans!

I have a few plans. But if they don't work out and things get really REALLY stupid.. like getting drafted to the army to occupy Canada/Greenland (lmfao). Then I've reached the point where I'll have no problem peacing out from this existence. Unlike America I will not go back if it ultimately comes down to that.

 

This does not have to kill all your progress. This does not have to kill your happiness. You've made it very far and I hope you can keep up the good progress.
