Impulse To Do Lower Consciousness Type Things

[Max_V]

I try to work on growing myself everyday, I meditate 2 times a day and try to read everyday too. This is going great and I do not feel attracted to doing stuff like watching Tv series, masturbating, eating unhealthy, etc. But suddenly I have this deep urge to just do just do every single one of them. Is it authentic to give in and just give my self a break or should I discipline myself and abstain from all this.

Thanks for helping out.

I don't know why I even ask these things anymore haha, it seems like awareness is always the answer. When I feel weak though, when I feel 'unconscious' I just post these things because I have trouble bringing awareness to these issues. Thanks for reminding me! @Dingus

@Dingus I watched a couple videos of Rupert Spira, what he said fascinated me deeply. That consciousness is always here. This knowing is in everything we do. Afther that video I went to meditate, I got really deep and at some point I forgot who I was. This really scared me shitless and my heart started beating really fast this made me think I was giving myself a heart attack. How should I deal with this? It scared the absolute shit out of me

* Angry at noise pollution
Good thing the anger now comes and I see it for what it is! So it doesn't really stick so much! Glad to see consciousness work having effects. I got angry today when they blew a whistle near me at the station that almost got me deaf  

Good thing I have earplugs, living in a crazy city is no joke. Noise pollution is everywhere. I think ears are not very great, we need to be able to close them, we need earlids!!!!

Repression is never the solution to low consciousness, it is the cause of low consciousness.

The solution is to meet your repressed stuff WITH consciousness.

 

@Dingus can I abuse drugs with consciousness? I'm sure it's possible. After all if we do not judge what is happening even drug abuse is absolutely fine. Right?

As long as you pick up new healthy habits every 2/3 months, and keep doing your already establish habits, don't fight back.

Unless you have some specific deadline to respect for a job assignment or a college homework, there is no reasons to do that.

What does bringing consciousness to an arising of desires (good or bad), actually look like folks?

Tangibly.

Let me give you something to go off:

I want to watch some porn and masturbate.

Give me the step by step process for bringing awareness, the thought processes etc. as i'm doing (or not doing) this act.

Dingus, do you think repressed emotions can come up and be dealt with, without knowing the root of these emotions? 

I've been seriously angry with such stupid things! Normally I don't bother much even with things that has a direct link to me. 

I thought I was a cool dude! 

Obviously not, last two years I went angry with subjects that don't have anything to do with me. Madly angry.

*Angry with Sweden, and the politicians (And I don't even care for politics, never have)

*Angry with Media

*Angry with Bank elites, central banks such as federal reserve ( irrational directed anger) 

*Angry with feminists 

*Angry with New world order (low conscious conspiracy thinking) 

*Angry with Bilderberg (Also due to low conscious conspiracy thinking) 

*Angry with Jews (Never had problems with jews, rather the opposite is true. And Jesus and Bob Dylan are jews, enough said)

*Angry with mulitculturalism (I have always been positive to multiculturalism, so this one doesn't make sense either)

 

The only things worthy my anger was media and feminists!

Seriously though, could it be that the mind are looking for substitutes to release stored anger? 

Well, the thing to understand about politics and similar topics, is that it's specifically designed by the media to get you into "tribalism" which is basically team against team mindset. It's a divisive tactic to maintain social control through separation... and to get more clicks and sell more newspapers. Basically, money and power, are the motivators. So, on your end of the spectrum, you get manipulated to project your disowned shadow traits onto feminists, social justice people, minority groups, poor people, liberals, etc. On the other end of the political spectrum, they get manipulated into projecting disowned negative traits onto conservatives, religious people, social institutions (positive ones too, if the person is really unconscious), rich people, and anything too normative. 

While I do think that deep thinking social justice oriented people who have a high degree of awareness, can do a lot to enact positive change, it's very clear that the average person who's associated with such movements has no clue how to do the good things they want to do. So, they mistakenly think, "if I want to help women or minorities or gay or trans or (fill in the blank) people I need to get all these regressive, bigoted people to believe what I believe. And the way to do that is to shame them for their absolutely wrong beliefs." So, this is why Feminists are often called Feminazis and people interested in social justice causes are called SJWs. They take their views as dogma and forget that they're dealing with very complex social patterns that run very deep. You can't shame and resist the problem away by force. It must be explored and delicately dismantled.

So, instead of realizing this they think "If only everyone would think the way I do. Then the problems in the world would go away." However, this is the wrong way to do it, if you want to do it effectively. To enact social change effectively, you must be very objective in your observations of the social patterns to see what actually makes them tick. And you must be able to notice the ones that you yourself are effected by. So, if a social justice person goes around pointing fingers at everyone else but themselves, this is a huge issue. And sometimes the most troublesome social patterns come about from very small seemingly innocuous social mores that seem to have very little to do with the issue itself.

But all of the self-righteousness and shame tactics totally backfires, and you get people who have the same values as progressive people repressing those values... simply because they don't want to be perceived or to perceive themselves as having those values as part of the ego identity. So, when you were talking about multi-culturalism, you probably have a repressed value. You might associate that value with something negative now because of how the media has made it look and what you've come to associate it with. So, multi-cultural values have no place in your ego identity anymore. So, it is sent to the Shadow, where it gets projected out as anger and resistance. 

So, my advice is to look at that list of things that you're angry at, and try to let go of resistance to them... including your fear of having those values associated with you as a persona. Learn to love your inner Feminist.  Learn to see the media for what it is and see what each individual is motivated by, and recognize those traits in yourself. Recognize yourself in all those things. This will make the anger go away. Seek to understand and love will come as a result. With that love, anger will naturally dissipate.

Hey bud, keeping with Rupert for awhile won't hurt. Soak it all in.
