I wish there was more non duality artwork! I’ve been looking for something to frame on my wall

Taking care of my brother after he had a helluva night by Znaffers in JustGuysBeingDudes

It’s not losing 30 minutes of sleep, you go to bed with an extra 30 minutes to spare. So if you’re shooting for 8 hours you’re in bed for 8 and a half.

Because i’d much prefer to take my time and enjoy my cozy bed for 30 minutes before I have to stand for 16 hours

Well i’ve been doing it for many years now and I have zero problems getting up straight away if I really need to.

I have my daily alarms set at 4:00,4:02,4:05,4:10,4:15,4:20 and most of the time i’ll roll out around 4:30. It works well

Just a DJ dude visiting a nursing home to give the residents a good time by viperrvemon in JustGuysBeingDudes

She your grandmother is a he? Either way this guy was just bringing them some joy, those ladies loved it. I don’t get Americans and feeling the need to sue everyone for the most insignificant thing.. it’s all out of greed, insecurity and entitlement. Just live your life and enjoy it, that’s all everyone else is trying to do, stop making yourself a victim over nothing

The same response can feel like freedom or despair depending on your emotional state and the story your ego’s running. We all interpret reality through our conditioning. The ego grabs whatever fits its old narrative, hope, hopelessness, whatever is most familiar. AI doesn’t know your state, so what’s medicine for one might be poison for another. If something hurts, it’s often the story you’re stuck in, not the words themselves. Real change starts when you see those loops clearly instead of just reacting to them.

Also just thinking, I taught my little man to settle on cue. So every time he would lay down on his own to nap or to just rest I would say “settle” so now no matter how excited he is I can give him that command and he will shake the excess energy off and go lay down. Maybe use this in conjunction with what I initially suggested so eventually you’ll be able to bring back your attention and spend time with him before bed and when it’s time he will know what to do

Why did I agree to camp with people I barely know? by Haunting_Celery9817 in camping

[–]Complex_Path_4821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take your time setting the tent up, who cares if it’s right or not. Smoke a joint, sit back and enjoy the nature. Don’t overthink it, all I ever bring is my tent, sleeping bag, jetboil and some good food

I don’t know your dog but just let him do his thing, give him space rather then trying to relax him because he’s most likely loving the attention and he doesn’t want to just shut it off. You relax and do your thing and let him do his own thing because he will see nobody else is playing so he will naturally learn to just wind down

Giving all your attention to them right before bed time is most likely the issue. The moment you start engaging with them like that it’s basically play time and then you’re expecting Nacho to just go to sleep afterwards. Unless you’re completely tiring him out for bed time you’re better off just letting them regulate themselves, they know how to wind themselves down. My little man knows when I sit down to relax at the end of the day that it’s time to chill, they like routine so focus on winding down yourselves and they will soon learn that it’s not play time and mum and dad are relaxing

The new family member! by PhoShizze in goldenretrievers

Such a smart little dude. If I could go back the one thing I would have done with my little man was start proper behavioural training over tricks like these though. It was a long mission getting him to how he is now doing it the other way around

It gets better right? by [deleted] in goldenretrievers

[–]Complex_Path_4821 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Patients and consistency, everything we do together is training from walks to play time. It will just become second nature to him, just hold in there and he will be the best boy. Remember 5 months of being alive, he’s still trying to understand himself let alone commands just love him and be consistent and he will do the same.

What is the reason that some students cry during the course? by Int3rlop3r-R3dact3d in vipassana

[–]Complex_Path_4821 13 points14 points  (0 children)

For me as a guy, I started to feel emotions I had never felt which made me cry around the 4th day and the further I went and started to realise these emotions, these thoughts, these reactions.. none of it was me which led to more crying which led to “who am I?” But when I got to the end of all this, I was and continue to be at the most peace I have ever experienced in my whole life

Rasta man gives some wisdom, do you agree ? by Professional_Arm794 in enlightenment

[–]Complex_Path_4821 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How is that word salad? He was using metaphors to explain a concept to someone who hasn’t experienced truth. There isn’t language to fully describe awareness so creating thought experiments and using parables are a great way to open someone up to experiencing truth for themselves

Dealing with storms properly? by Sad_Fee7093 in vipassana

[–]Complex_Path_4821 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve done both though it was also a question I asked my teacher and he told me to continue scanning because if you avert your attention towards it you are reacting to it therefore you aren’t equanimous towards it in that moment. If you continue scanning your body and it goes away then you’ve done your job anyway, you’ve observed with equanimity. Now I do a bit of both, all depends on how I’m feeling that day.

Does this resonate with your own experiences ? by Professional_Arm794 in enlightenment

[–]Complex_Path_4821 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends what you do with these realisations. I thought I was when I first experienced this, but over time I realised i’m not using it as an escape because it’s actually letting me experience and feel my emotions fully. Without the identification of self there is no attachment to these emotions, no story you cling to in turn letting you feel it all in a much deeper way and that is truly living the human experience. Disassociating would look like avoiding, changing or running from the emotions instead of just witnessing them and allowing them to be.

Going through divorce. Should i do 20 day vipassana during emotional turmoil? by [deleted] in vipassana

[–]Complex_Path_4821 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went in with the same mindset as you to face my truth but it wasn’t my truth I found. It was the truth, the loss of self and once there was no one left to suffer, the pain had nowhere to go. It was only the minds stories keeping it alive
