The #1 Reason Why You're Not Making Any (real) Progress

[Shin]

Instead of letting the discomfort of contradictions to exists and see what is really true (or accepting the fact that you don't know),
You run from it, creating a new belief (or strenghten the old in a sneaky way) to make your point of view is valid in your own mind.
Don't lie to yourself, stop this bullshit and face the fact that you may be wrong/ignorant on many subjects.

It is about your mental and physical well being.

You can't experience true peace/love if you disagree and judge everyone (even yourself) for what they know, or don't know, if their opinions are the same as yours or not, if their actions contradicts your morality.
Most importantly, you will never love yourself if you don't accept the fact that you are wrong and not aligned to your inner wisdom.
You have to see and accepts your own imperfections to actually make progress, there is no other way.

True story, i like it

you could also re-name the thread positivly and call it "how to make real progress" Step1: Love & accept yourself.

Which -i know- is easier said than done , don´t get fooled into this idea of a pathless path, in which you already are enlightened and have to do nothing (which might be true on a really deep level for people who already done a lot of inner work ) but for almost 100% of the people this idea of "there is nothing to do just love everything and there will be peace" doesnt lead to a better life, if what remains is still a toxic surrounding, ill food, negative/unproductive mental input + limiting beliefs that can´t be undone by just thinking "i accept everything" ...which is why the dirty work of actualizing (with all its manifold ways) is actually a really good method to go towards loving & accepting yourself consistently and in the long run... This mofokn shit is WORK after all! do the meditation, clean up the diet, do journaling, possibly do a therapie, hit the gym, read books, work on your own business, intergrate your life purpose ...and so on. btw ...life is amazing  no joke...

According to the commonly accepted spiritual paradigm the reason is there's no "you" to make any progress....

I'm not gonna write in a non dual writting when I don't even understand fully what all this means.
Maybe "you" can understand that, but we don't, hence the duality terms.

@Shin I was merely applying the reasoning commonly espoused in spiritual circles for ironic effect. Don't take it personally, heh.
