@Consept All OCD is about is Authority. Are you in charge or the OCD? You give the OCD the same authority you give to your mind because it carries the same voice. Learn to treat OCD as a stupid crybaby that you should ignore, and voila, it is gone. But this is easier said than done.

OCD is also intelligent. If anything, it actually amplifies the manifestation of survival. But you have to be really conscious to see that.

Essentially yes you should ignore it and it will go, but i think if you start thinking about how to get in charge of your mind you can get into rumination and a kind of tug of war for your mind.

Yeah i was thinking about this today, essentially OCD is a tactic used by your brain to help with your survival. From the fear reaction you give you are alerting your brain that these thoughts are extremely important and as such it gives you more of these thoughts which then confirm the importance of these thoughts from the fear reaction you give it. On and on it goes in this cycle, but ultimately its the brains strategy for survival. Being aware of this can help and then you have to do the hard work of acceptance and not reacting or doing compulsions. But yes great observation

Thank you, I’ve been hard at work understanding OCD consciously. 

A compulsion seen through for what it actually is can be a powerful conductor for deep Awakening. It takes a magnificent leap of faith to do this.
