Thanks WW. I'm trying to ignore without force more and more. They're still there but progress is being made. If course they won't disappear overnight since I have so much attention to them.

Hey everyone! Hope all is well. My question involves constant intrusive thoughts. They consist of images that gross me out to a high degree such as gore. A huge feeling of contraction and tension follows. I realize that it is me who is reacting to the thoughts. But it feels like an automatic, knee j...

Thank you. It really is a miracle and I never saw a way out due to being so identified with my pain body and ego as a whole.

Hey guys I just wanted to briefly share my miraculous (in my eyes) experience with my spiritual journey freeing me from the shackles of drug and alcohol addiction. I had a deeply painful childhood and was strongly identified with my extremely negative story. At age 15, I dove straight in and had use...

I have many years of experience smoking weed. I do think it is possible to have a very conscious and even eye opening experience (iv'e had them) BUT only when used in moderation. Smoking everyday starts to produce a dullness in most people. If I smoke it heavily, even for only a few days, I feel tha...

It seems that you are still stuck in the mind. Watching your thoughts is a definitely a great thing but you must not further inquire into a thought(s). When thoughts come, there isin't always a need to analyze them further because that will just lead to more thoughts, and then before you know it, yo...

Hey- this is actually my first post & im pretty new to tolle, but not the ideas/experiences behind it. Anyhow i am curious- op- hows it going for you? I very much relate to that feedback loop you were describing. I recently started going to r.i meetings (recovery international) and they utilize wha...

You have no idea just how happy I am to read this post, Placebo! I just finished typing up a post, and then deleted it all and "ran away" because I was afraid it would sound too weird and I'd come across like a freak or something (one of my constant fears, among others.) With me, it's music... ther...

Thanks WW that was very helpful. It just so happens that I just watched a short video saying exactly what you just said before I read this. :) https://youtu.be/-M1-TxRY-Ec It's the fear of it not leaving that keeps it there just like with any other thought form or physical sensation. It's kind of fu...

Great responses, WW and eputkonen! :D fallingIntoNow, Here is a video that has helped me. Maybe it will be of some help to you too: Mooji - No Blockage for Being https://youtu.be/-M1-TxRY-Ec Thank you so much for this link. This was so incredibly helpful for me. I have been struggling with these ty...

Hey thanks for the warm welcome. I'm going to look into all of your recommendations and yes I definitely know resistance is futile :) This practice has really been changing my life. I can go through the day without getting irritated, I don't get bored (even when the present situation would bore almo...

Hey everyone. I must say that this forum is a goldmine. I'll probably end up reading every past thread on here. So many of you guys explain things with such clarity that I'm often left in awe. :) I suffer with Pure O which is a form of ocd where one has constant obsessive thoughts rather than compul...
