Re: Forever alone on Valentine's day
You remind me a little of myself. I get the feeling (I could be wrong) you're a little rigid when it comes to dealing with the opposite sex and dating because of some past sexual experiences you had when you were a child. I can relate, I also read that you cover yourself up and hide some of your loo...

Re: It's Simpler Than You Think
@kiki Cool thanks. I did the 2nd meditation you mentioned yesterday I saw you mention it in a post and I liked it. I have so many thoughts swirling through my head though that I think focusing on something might be best for me right now. Do you think it's okay to switch between the two because I did...

Re: Has anyone here ever experienced an OBE while asleep?
I wasn't trying to scare anyone. Those were my honest accounts of those experiences. If I caused them I have no idea how and if there was anything to learn from them it missed me. I didn't find anything useful or beneficial about those experiences, personally and still haven't been able to shake off...

Re: It's Simpler Than You Think
Don't give up. My advice is to continue to meditate which will begin to create some space between thoughts. Those gaps aren't noticed at first because we are so used to being bombarded by thought stream, but eventually the gap begins to widen. In that space, in that gap between thoughts, awareness ...

Re: Romance and the Ego
To me serious relationships are like a drug. I learned a lot from my last relationship. I saw how dependent I was on the other person to make me feel good and how their attention literally numbed the pain in all other areas of my life, for the most part. I also saw how when they would withdraw that ...

Re: Adiction
I smoke and like you outside of that I live a very healthy lifestyle...mostly raw vegan food when able, love to work out etc... but can't stop smoking. I've noticed I get the urge to smoke when I feel anxiety like if someone or something upsets me, in the morning when I know I have to go out and fac...

Re: Has anyone here ever experienced an OBE while asleep?
I've had a few, but not recently. I would be sleep and wake up and I would be near the ceiling, kind of spinning around but my body was in the bed. I didn't like it I don't want to detach from my body like that. I also used to have the sensation I was rocking back and forth partially in and out of m...

Re: Mobile phones
Yes, I've noticed it and I'm guilty of it lol. I use my phone as a distraction when out in public because I'm not particularly comfortable around people. If I can bury myself in my phone I don't have to feel so uncomfortable in my surroundings. I also check my phone when I'm interacting with people ...

Re: Not doing good today
You are right Oak, it's true that things could change for the better in the future. My mind tells me it'll be like this forever, but I also know my mind often lies.

Re: What does 'awakening'/'enlightenment' mean to you?
They mean the same thing to me and what I believe is truly meant by being born again in Christianity. To me it means dis-identifying from the mind or ego in a permanent sense.

Re: Being deceived and feeling awful/uncomfortable
I understand your frustration it's unfortunate people can't just be upfront. I recently dealt with something similar. I had a temp to perm job and asked my boss multiple time how I was doing and if he felt this was a good fit, he assured me multiple times I was doing great and they would be hiring m...

Re: Not doing good today
@clouded I do see to a degree my head makes my situation feel worse and when I am in a relationship it does come with it's own set of challenges that are sometimes even harder then feeling lonely. I just seem to forget about all of that when I feel like this. @david I am very very sensitive and take...
