Mind Going Crazy

[Amir]

Hey everyone! 

 

I was wondering if somebody else gets this as well. After watching some of the video's of Leo, my mind goes crazy (I keep contradicting myself in my mind).

A few minutes ago I watched "How you lie". I think I did notice some lies I was telling myself, but it is hard to notice the moment it is actually happening (self-deception).

 

Am I the only one that has this?  (probably not)

No you are not the only one here. I've been having a lot of paradox and contradictions in myself ever since I got into spirituality and self development. Watch Leo's video on Paradox and you will see. Lol. Yeah everything's crazy and I don't know which is right anymore. For instance, there is no self, but you have to work on improving yourself!! Nothing exists yet everything exists. It will take 1000+ hours to contemplate on them. So don't worry about it much. There is no "you" to worry about anything in the first place! Just enjoy this crazy mind, crazy thoughts and ride it out till you get back to normal.

I  tend to think too much too,  and I want to find the logic and reasoning. But It's not possible,  just relax and observe your thoughts. Those are reactions of your ego,  you are scaring the shit out of him.  Lol.  The mindful meditation helped me a lot to stop the monkey mind and worry less.

Yes. The best recommendation is to do mindfulness meditation, self-observation. Stop and take a good look at what you are thinking and feeling every moments and you will see that the thoughts don't stay the same. One moment you will be thinking about being crazy and later in a short while, you will be thinking about feeling depressed. You will not even notice the transition of thoughts (if you are not fully aware). You may also notice that your emotions change very fast from moment to moment. (maybe not for deep depression)  Watch Leo's video on mindfulness meditation, doing nothing meditation if you still haven't. Mindfulness /Self-awareness is a Must! I see that you are doing 10 minutes meditation everyday. Please keep building that habit. Don't skip a single day. And try increasing the time. Practice mindfulness throughout the day. After you reach a good level of emotional and mental stability through practicing mindfulness, you can come back and contemplate on these paradoxes. There's a better chance your mind will not go crazy.
