Losing interest in things I used to love

Actually, I'm quite the opposite.

I started getting interested in everything, everything seems meaningful and beautiful.

Chatting with low consciousness people is awesome! Even bad and boring jokes have now become interesting and funny!

Perspective is everything.

Intresting. I now connect with people more, talk to everyone. But have quit sports, video games and social media. That time are used for reading and exploring my own silence.

@Harikrishnan ❤️

This is so great to hear 

[Commodent]

@Truth Addict  Yes, I simply said that I have no desire of being interested in everything. And then you ask me why I think I should learn. I do not think I should, and I could very well stop. I do it because I enjoy it. Meanwhile, you have been preaching your "shoulds" this entire thread.

Your resistance to disinterest and boredom is quite evident, btw

@Commodent 

Do whatever you want my friend, I have no interest in controlling your life.

The "shoulds" that I was pointing out to you are only means to joy and happiness from my experiences.

It's up to you whether you want to consider my advice or not.

No need for reacting and getting personal.

@Michael569 when it happened to me, i embraced it. i quit everything and got closer to nature. i started practicing yoga and learned a lot about permaculture. my circle of friends changed entirely.

it was a glorious journey, just as glorious as my current journey "back to society".

was it easy? nope... it required a huge amount of courage to do the first move. but i can't put in words how valuable it was.

I skip the stage of hippism almost instantly for chaotism and I truly don't give a fuck.

But in society I still play my role and identity, even if in the end this doesn't hold, everything is a scam, identity, belief, saving the earth, all metaphysics, even not caring cannot truly hold.

For me Donald Trump is and could be totaly enlightened ( who is egoic enough to scan properly the mind of someone who had his own experience ? ) maybe you can look like the most orange of the earth and still be "coral/teal" whatever.

he probably got now to the ultimate stage that is the trolling stage and not giving a fuck stage.

You still hold to the role, but your only goal is getting the more fun wherever you can, and in all ways you can.

When you could litteraly let one billion die for a good laugh.

but yes you could be serious for years only to maximize the laugh

 

Why so serious

 

[Commodent]

@Truth Addict  Then perhaps you should stop phrasing your "advice" as absolute truth. I'm not interested in spiritual dogmatism. I never even asked for your advice, and I explicitly stated there was no problem.

"Do whatever you want my friend, I have no interest in controlling your life."

"No need for reacting and getting personal."

???

@Commodent

Even if someone tells you explicitly that they have the absolute truth, it's up to you whether you make it a dogma or not.

The problem is in the interpretation, not in the phrasing. Although, I'll work on that.

It's all you, only you can delude you, I can't, and nobody can, only you.

It's true that you have never asked for my advice, but I wanted to give you my advice anyway, because I don't want you to suffer, I hope by rejecting my advice you won't.

There's no problem for you right now, but I thought so, and suffered a lot for it. Again, it's up to you, I tried my best to help/guide/advice.

Trying to prove I'm lying is reaction and getting personal.

What's the point of growing?

Life is always in a constant state of growth. You should always be growing, or else you wither.

At what point do you think that you'd have enough growth?

There should never be a point where you think you had enough growth. To think that you know or achieved it all, will be the start of your downfall.

When does growth end and living life begin?

Growth and living life are not mutually exclusive. In fact, living life incorporates growth. That's like being at a restaurant with friends and asking 'when does eating end and socialising begin?'

It seems so, but is it really so?

You are always growing.

What I was trying to say is that people usually lock themselves up in the self-development paradigm, without realising that they don't need it almost at all. They seek wisdom from the outside, while forgetting their inner wisdom. "You are your best teacher!".

The point when someone thinks they've had enough growth, is the point they become arrogant, which leads to ignorance, which leads to the downfall.

Again, I was trying to point out that growth is always happening, naturally, with and without our intention or knowing. So, there's no point in chasing growth, because it's inevitable unless, of course, you think you have it already.

Exactly! That's what I was trying to say.

@Truth Addict Okay, boredom, disinterest and growth was a source of suffering to you, doesn't mean it's the same thing to me. Stop projecting.

Believing I am suffering even though I have told you otherwise is incredibly condescending and arrogant. You are trying to pull me into the very same inner conflict that you have, i.e. resisting certain emotional states. I can see your bullshit, but someone else might not. That's why I'm calling you out on it.

I didn't say that.

I didn't say it must be the same, but it can be.

Anyway, I'm not here to hurt you, I simply can't, I'm just some words on your screen, but you're taking them seriously, and that's why you're reacting and trying to protect yourself, and that's exactly what you need to stop doing if you want to be happy, that's exactly what I consider egoic suffering.

I don't need to say that it's my opinion and my advice everytime I say something, right? You don't take anything you read for granted, right?

Will you just relax?

@Truth Addict  I'm not suffering, and you're projecting again. You're also taking zero accountability for what you're saying, by telling me to not take it seriously.

Why would I not want to protect myself? Should I just roll on my back and listen on people's idiotic projections on me, without calling them out on their bullshit? Would that favor anyone?

I don't want to be happy. Right now the only thing I want to feel is what I currently feel. Happiness can wait for later.

You don't have to do anything, just know that your arrogant projections and the unsolicited advice that follows are annoying as hell.

@Commodent

It's all fine as long as you say so
