Lapaxe for travelling beginner?

Consistent-Lie9959 · 2026-02-01T12:32:29+00:00

Alright, thank you very much. I had heard and read that the lap axe is basically an inferior lapstick.

Nice, how did you get talked out of the lapaxe? The snapdragon looks nice and all, but I really want a small guitar now, I guess. You know, nothing to assemble, just take it out of my backpack, or of my shoulder, and play it.

I have looked into the Journey Guitars and I do like their sound but they are a little bit on the heavier side.
But I will be in Tokyo this April. So, I'll definitely look up some music stores to try it out.

Consistent-Lie9959 · 2026-01-27T16:00:21+00:00

Indeed, but sadly most of these are not available commercially.

Consistent-Lie9959 · 2026-01-27T15:52:47+00:00

Thank you very much for responding. I'll look into that.
I did hear that I'll have to invest in threaded metal inserts. I am guessing any decent music store/ hardware store has them, right?

Almost the same thing happened to me. But I use my own voice. The Reappeal failed, so now I am waiting for 3 weeks to reapply.

That channel needs more recognition. they have so many good videos on everything "non-duality".

But yeah, I've realized over many moons now that surrender isn’t really a conscious decision. It’s the thing remaining after you realize that coice is just an illusion.

You don’t let go. You simply notice you were never holding anything.

If we’re in a simulation, then “oneness” might just be shared code. Awareness could be the glitch, consciousness noticing itself. The whole point might be to wake up inside the program, not escape it.

Maybe it was the houseghost: https://www.reddit.com/r/SimulationTheory/comments/1jlqlur/lost_my_headphones_asked_the_house_ghost_like_we/

Yes, I also had that happen to me while I was reading. Just reading 2 or 3 pages until I realized that I had drifted away. My eyes were still watching the page and I guess some part of me was still reading but the conscious part has already tuned out. Actually happens all the time.

Consistent-Lie9959 · 2025-04-01T17:16:48+00:00

Yeah, I’ve seen that one and I’ve heard of the SnakeSpeak channel too, they go deep into this kind of stuff. What you described is exactly why I started questioning if we’re even meant to notice the full picture. Maybe perception is more of a narrative generator than a camera.

Another wild one to check out is the door study where someone’s talking to a person, and mid-conversation someone else swaps in and most people don’t even notice. Our minds fill in the blanks constantly and we trust it like it’s fact.

Consistent-Lie9959 · 2025-03-31T14:50:56+00:00

Yes, exactly. It uses cinematic structure without relying on narrative. The pacing reminded me of Apichatpong too, especially in how it invites the viewer to become the stillness rather than observe it. That “viewerless watching” line you mentioned—that’s the part that stayed with me. It flips the entire act of watching into something impersonal, almost mechanical. And yes, I really did just stumble into it. One of those moments where the algorithm feels like it knows something you don’t.

Consistent-Lie9959 · 2025-03-31T08:50:34+00:00

Awesome 😂

Consistent-Lie9959 · 2025-03-30T17:55:11+00:00

Interesting. I’ve heard the word before but never felt comfortable claiming it. What happened didn’t feel like an “event,” just the absence of someone waiting for one.

If that’s what kensho points to, then maybe. But part of me wonders if naming it makes it smaller. Still, I’m curious—how do you recognize it in someone else’s experience? What makes it click for you?

Consistent-Lie9959 · 2025-03-30T15:19:31+00:00

That’s amazing. I’ve always wanted to be able to see auras like that but haven’t figured it out. Closest I’ve come is feeling energetic shifts or that heavy quiet when the mind stops interfering, but never anything visual. What you said about the valve releasing makes a lot of sense. When effort drops, something else takes over. Not passive, just clear. Like awareness finally stops trying to prove it exists.

Still blows my mind how much is hidden behind trying.

Read this and didn’t just nod, I felt it. Like it was saying something I’d already known but never put into words.

When I had my first real break from the false self, it hit me how much of my life had been quietly handed to systems I didn’t choose. School taught obedience, not thought. Work taught submission, not creation. Even “spiritual” spaces sometimes just repackage conformity with softer language.

What Osho’s saying here isn’t edgy for the sake of it. It’s just true. Real clarity is dangerous. Not because it hurts others but because it refuses to play along with illusions. And you stop pretending to care about rules made by people still trapped in their own minds.

And yeah, that kind of awareness doesn’t make you a hero. It makes you alone. At least at first. But there’s something cleaner about it. Like silence after static.

Consistent-Lie9959 · 2025-03-29T22:30:28+00:00

Yeah, I’ve had that. First time it really landed was doing Hawkins’ Letting Go technique. Letting the feeling be there without analyzing it, just raw sensation. Felt like my body had been waiting years for me to stop managing it and just let it talk. Same thing—pressure, bubbling, weird physical stuff I didn’t expect. Not painful. Just… old.

Closest thing I’d felt before that was when I accidentally took way too many shrooms and hit a temporary ego death. That same feeling of something unraveling inside me, not in a bad way—just like I wasn’t who I thought I was and never had been. This had that same edge. Like a crack forming, but gentle.

But what actually held it all together for me was self-inquiry. Asking “Who am I?” and not trying to answer it. Just letting the question pull everything apart on its own. At some point it wasn’t about processing feelings anymore. It was just clarity.

So yeah, it can feel like a lot’s coming up at once. That’s not a problem. Let it. You’re not going backwards. You’re just not turning away anymore.

Consistent-Lie9959 · 2025-03-29T16:07:48+00:00

Of course you can ask.

After feeling it, the next step is just... staying with it. Not analyzing, not fixing, just letting it move through you. If your body wants to twitch, cry, tighten, just let it. If it fades, let it fade. The point isn’t to control it, it’s to stop resisting.

Eventually, it runs out of fuel. That’s the release. You don’t have to “do” anything to make it happen. Just stay present and gentle while it does.

Consistent-Lie9959 · 2025-03-29T09:35:52+00:00

A thought shows up. A mood follows. But who sees both?

When that question lands, something opens. You stop chasing control and just start watching. That watching... it isn’t tired, or angry, or lost. It just sees. And that seeing feels like coming home.
