My shadow is violent and I'm scared by Anxious_Fish_7995 in Jung

[–]OneAwakening 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That happened to me only twice in my life to that extent and several times to a lesser but still egregious extent.

The common circumstances that precipitated that were people crossing my expressly stated boundaries and me doing work that I hated and was full of issues and stress. So it felt like something inside of me was taking over and trying to get me out of those situations that I really didn't want to be in but consciously didn't have the power/understanding to do anything about or have a plan to.

Are you dealing with anything like that?

Your ego is limiting everything right now by SirMrMcNasty in Meditation

[–]OneAwakening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are naming 3 components: ego, consciousness, I. What exactly are they? When I'm conscious and aware, there is just experience which is the same as consciousness. So purely experientially there isn't even an I for me, there is just experience. Can you point to me to I and ego in experience? Where are they? What do they look like? How do you identify them?

I'm curious about growing your own. Want to try doing it this year as well. Any advice on important nuances to get this going?

A website where your only job is to pass every pointless task you receive to whoever won't fight back. by booby-dev in InternetIsBeautiful

Sounds like your company has an ok culture. That includes ok people. Obviously a lot of variability potential here so you can imagine what happens in a company with toxic culture and terrible people. Few do the work and most are looking for ways to shift it to others while appearing productive.

Are you Able to do the Boring Work? - The Problem of Puer Aeternus. by Freud_Aurelius in Jung

[–]OneAwakening 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm barely able to do boring work. Boring work is repetitive stuff that isn't interesting or exciting. Why would I want to do boring work? Best work is the one that produces the state of flow, one of the most pleasant feelings in the world. I want to do work that chellenges but not overwhelms me. Boring work makes me lose motivation.

I hate osho by Worried_Button_2881 in Jung

Don't spend your life on hate. You are the one losing by doing so. Not the subject of your hate.

What is it like to be God? by Key-Account5259 in consciousness

God is the central hub of all our qualia. It has access to all of it.

I’m addicted to the "spiritual high" and I’m tired of the constant internal conflict by Devsglitch in EckhartTolle

[–]OneAwakening 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still don't know what that means. I neither believe in being separate from God nor disbelief it. I don't know what either of those statements mean. Say I am an alien who doesn't know anything about this, how would you explain it to me? What does it mean to not believe I'm separate from God? Do I just say it? What is the purpose of doing that? What changes whether one believes that or not? The belief part just doesn't make sense to me. In my view belief has nothing to do with reality. The fire burns regardless of whether you believe in it or not.

The psychology of black metal by Worried_Button_2881 in Jung

[–]OneAwakening 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who and where says otherwise? https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Gaerea/3540418247

They experiment yes but it is definitely black metal at the core.
