Re: Why do they do this to you ?
Altamash
I've been enjoying this thread because it's so alive somehow,
altho your first few posts had me worried.
You are depressed~ I was also~ for a looooong time (with the help of weed also)
because the weed sedates and relaxes (good painkiller)
yet deepens the depression as it becomes a psychological need/dependancy
BTW Your websites and graphics are totally dope. Loved 'em.
Would love to do some shit together with music and your graphics
what you do w graphics and animation i do with electronic sounds/music
You are obviously very intelligent and have some post-new-age reading under your belt.
Dont believe you know how all this is now or how it will go down
Key #1 = Not Knowing = Wisdom = suspension of belief systems
these can be pretty subtle yet devastating... to friendships and communication=your support network
Don't believe in your interpretations of this world or this work too much
It's a world of mirrors
You gotta get IN to get out etc etc
I really hope you don't find this condescending~ cause i feel you
i am older but it's not the number, it's the experience and the suffering i have willingly faced
a friend of mine has called it "conscious suffering"... it's the same as "healing" really
healing the disconnect from the world/society/parents/conditioning
when we realize it's unavoidable... we go towards instead of turning away... Self is all/everything/the great nothing
you are obviously suffering
partly from "knowing so much" as you say
but also from "knowing" so little of the actual inner truth that is revealed in silence
who or what you really are (or are not)... Self knowledge
It comes in time and also in an instant when you are open yet balanced
what you see here is a reflection only
you must invest to reap the reason-less joy that comes when the mind is quieter
Unbelievably simple~ it's all here when you are
thoughts are automatic now ~out of control~ (not that they should/can be "controlled")
but you are identified with them to some extent and that causes suffering
It's a little trick that determines your experience
and why the spiritual master, Gurgeiff asked someone to build a house
and when they were done... made them tear it down and rebuild it elsewhere several times...
He knew that over time, by concentrating on something concrete, the mind would become calm
the house didn't matter at all.
just sit still~spine erect, and look inwardly, watching/breathing, eyes half closed...
time it every day (morning is best) and increase the time each week until 30 mins minimum
will teach you meditation for free... and leads to actual direct seeing and freedom
Freedon is right here, right now
life is a great gift... love attracts love and everything else
not because of some belief system but just because we are ALIVE and mind is silently observing all this
and seeing is changing... is movement/freshness
new feeling in which depression falls away
I know you don't want to hear this but you gotta find a way to experience without so much weed
It's a powerful depressant i finally quit (mostly) after 20 years of spliffs
maybe find a "sitting" group meditation
you could use some community
I know a people up there...
Good luck with the website building
you have a lot of talent
i would def be a client if i could afford it
Peace, J.
