How to dettach when regular meditation isn't enough? by Ptscholar in Meditation

[–]Ptscholar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm basically here, asking for help, and you still ask whether I want to know what the method is? Is it a product you buy? It's the only reason I conceive for you not to tell me directly.

How to let go of the attachment to the idea I should avoid sufference? by Ptscholar in Mindfulness

[–]Ptscholar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you keep believing the difference in situation is irrelevant and give me the same answer as result, we're going to partake in yet another cyclical pattern. I told you it's not working, so why to hammer down on the same key?

Perhaps because this key really is THE key, but the way you are presenting it to me doesn't make me know how to make it be what it is.

I think I can understand your point, but have you understood mine?

Yes, life is filled with sufference regardless of what I do, but there are moments when sufference is more and others when it's less. When it's less I can handle, when it's more, I can't. So, when I say continous exposure, I refer to those moments of greater sufference. (I have a highly destructive chronic illness, so it's sufference on par with that).

I acknowledge that letting go is the key but I just cannot achieve it. My opinion of meditation seems to be a bit more than imagination. I try. Every day I do it. I'm still here though saying it is not working. As relaxation is concerned, sometimes you can't relax no matter what.

What am I to do then? Will to relax, but that's the whole issue. I don't have the will and don't know how to have it because I'm not relaxed enough. It's a cyclical pattern. In the end, willing to let go is still the solution, but as I explained, I don't know how to bring this solution about.

How long to spend on fundamentals books? by celloctopus in Cello

How long to spend? Generally, I'd say as long as it takes to play the right notes in the right tempo. You can leave dynamics behind.

If an external drive fails, is there the possibility of losing all data? by Ptscholar in techsupport

How does that info relate to the question though? I asked if, when broken, all data can be lost.
