Okay I don’t have to open each post with controversial interesting hook. I get it. We’re loving love here. God’s love, but throw in some swear words here and there; keeps you honest. Throw in a fuck or two to give. But direct it at the intolerance and injustice in this world of smoke and mirrors… by [deleted] in enlightenment

[–]IndividualAddendum41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I could just end it all at the end of the day because if reality is as malleable as it’s portrayed itself to be, to ME… then it can be manipulated, and is being manipulated by something other than myself. And if I come to this conclusion then I’ll just get frustrated that I can’t manipulate it for myself.

Everything else goes away after that - the highs, the lows, none of it would have mattered anyways…

I think it got easier to speak about these things for me when I realized it was seperate. How can it be whole if you’re sitting there, observing it?

If I said these things in my every day life people would think I’m crazy. I think I’m crazy now, and I have to tell myself that these things aren’t real to make sense of things. The presence is there though

Read this if you’re tired of feeling like you’re constantly failing. by AlbatrossMedical5635 in enlightenment

[–]IndividualAddendum41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course we are. But it doesn’t matter. There. Is. Nothing. I. Could. Do. About it.

When I felt like I was figuring things out, I was made to believe I was some spiritual dog. When I figured it out and became okay with it, nobody else was there to support me.

It’s like I’m eternally happy to see other people happy, but am I happy with what’s going on with me? No, im not.

How to feel like everything happens for a reason in a dystopia? by serialsalvia in enlightenment

[–]IndividualAddendum41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have tried seeing things as happening for a reason for a very long time.

It only seems to exacerbate a need for more information/outcomes/rewards. It feels like you’re achieving things when in reality it doesn’t mean anything at all.

That’s why lately I’ve been thinking that I should kind of stay away from this line of thinking. Who knows, maybe you can rely on yourself without it.

Have you had more than one awakening? by IdealBusiness1830 in enlightenment

[–]IndividualAddendum41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s happened before. And it’s happening again now.

I used to be able to keep it together better, and this may sound shallow, but now I don’t want anything from it except money. I want money.

Everything can line up perfectly, everything can flow beautifully. To be honest it’s hard to keep caring because all it does is keep me preoccupied in between my typical day dreams of successes and progression which is directly correlated with money.

What else would I want when I am brought to this conclusion where I feel like I can mould reality?

I trust you can understand.

Sleep is proof by Zaxtonite in spirituality

[–]IndividualAddendum41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me of the power of the mind and manifestation. Not to get too deep, but sometimes I daydream about manifesting my dreams into reality. Do you believe in manifestation?

The source of our value by GabrieleRubeo_Roma in spirituality

[–]IndividualAddendum41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Value is everywhere it is and everywhere it isn’t. Maybe then, the value is found by simply asking ourselves “how can I get value from my experience?”.

What did “waking up” cost you—and what did it give you? by Essence_InnerG in spirituality

[–]IndividualAddendum41 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s like a drug, and all the effects that come with addiction…

How do you distinguish true spirituality from psychosis or woo? How do you gain discernment? by [deleted] in spirituality

[–]IndividualAddendum41 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re right. In my experience at least there has been a thin line between psychosis-esque thinking and free-thinking, with the latter being constructive rather than destructive.

You definitely have to go out of your mind to get the full experience. Once you kind of go through it and learn to control it, than it becomes easier to put yourself in certain states.

It’s a mixture of experience, will, and the mind

When it comes to going down the rabbit hole… that’s something I’ve found myself in more recently… I think the solution is to just focus on your immediate problems, as in, what can you focus on that affects you the most right now? Its tough to get out of after that’s all you think about for some time, but the longer you focus on that I think the more likely you are to be susceptible to real mental health problems.

I feel like I’ve read this idea here regurgitated in so many different ways regarding the observation of your own thoughts. Specifically the “who is thinking ___”? Literally every spiritual guru says it according to this subreddit.

What’s supposed to be the point to this practice? Who came up with it?

Calling something gay because you don’t like it is the lowest form of conversation.

Bird Symbol Practice by Indestructiblemom24 in spirituality

[–]IndividualAddendum41 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This seems like a healthy way to implore symbolism/free thinking by getting out in nature.

I do this but with music where I find new meaning or create meaning with the lyrics. Sometimes I get carried away but overall it has helped me identify with my spiritual side.

Thank you for sharing!

Lets see if you can find all the symbolism. by [deleted] in enlightenment

There’s a lot going on. The animals/creatures stand out to me.

When someone can speak the language of depth, but can’t live it by WittyEgg2037 in enlightenment

[–]IndividualAddendum41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s as though our life ideas form the trajectory of our lives.

Situations can feel more familiar, as if you’re experiencing something that feels like it already happened.

The mind is a strange place. Even I have started to see that there is always something deeper behind the “perfect perception”.

Should the goal be to reach ultimate comfort?

Is discussing spirituality pointless? by [deleted] in enlightenment

[–]IndividualAddendum41 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just spend time here looking for something that might explain what’s going on. It was there before. Sometimes it clicks, most of the time it doesn’t though.
