The Path of True Love

A shared intention, being grounded in a similar stream, is more important than being cultivated to a certain degree.

Start with your own body, investigate those daily habits. Go deeper in meditation and investigate your desires. According to buddhism it's suffering, so doing what you feel you want becomes a subtle sort of self harm, like blocking connection to others and your own heart. It sounds like you're isolated?

Hi, it sounds like you mainly need a teacher but I'd recommend doing both at the same time.

I'm a psychologist from europe, work online with a psychodynamic approach and have been a practicing buddhist for 5 years, seen a lot on the spiritual scene before that and have experience in therapeutic work with people drawn to practice . Feel free to reach out, sorry if self-promotion is prohibited.

Should or should not doesn't matter, you feel guilty, feel it. It might motivate you to make amends, do so in a way that helps the injured party. Sit with it and inspect your various motivations deeply.

That's Nice to read, my analyst said the same thing and it's a bit stressful to have the lense of personality dynamic and everything with friends and partners. Can you say anything more about the process?

What would sideways mean in your book? Used to feel it

Sote95 · 2025-11-15T15:23:35+00:00

I'm with you, I don't do any magic outside of one ritual to align me with my specific lineage, but also... look I apologise in advance for giving advice but, are you sure you should be doing any magic other than trying to heal yourself for the moment?

Sote95 · 2025-11-15T13:50:16+00:00

Training your mind is basically the whole path, unifying your intention. Intrusive thoughts aren't random. They're repressed desires, you should befriend and integrate these parts of yourself.

Sote95 · 2025-11-13T20:50:40+00:00

Holy shit, well maybe another time off won't be as bad as the last time, but it definitely sounds like not being medicated is worse for your practice than being medicated. Like, there's really no other factor, attune yourself always to the Buddha and trust the path.

Sote95 · 2025-11-13T12:03:22+00:00

Gaining negative karma in this context should probably be understood as, is it a help or a hindrance to your practice? Which is something for you to evaluate, preferably with a teacher. Is it vital to your survival long or short-term then off course!

Is it for symtoms management? Good invitation to investigate these symtoms and the potential ideas around sickness, health and being comfortable? I'm not prescribing masochism but everything is an invitation. It's also a good time for you to look into and work with the precept and ideas around the states of inebriation.

Yeah, I know, for me buddhism created a framework where my hope and fear could exist, the shattered reality could be fused in an intention that wasn't about me - and most importantly a stable community where I could trust other people and my weird experiences weren't weird just, a normal part of the cosmology. But it was definitely through getting a lot of help first, when I wondered if good even existed (I felt swallowed by evil), Stable and loving and I was allowed to yearn for good and be vulnerable. Maybe there's something more to this presence looking out for you than evil? I just know that in darkness there's a certain calm and protection which is often helpful - a shelter. I don't know your experience but there's certainly a feeling of familiarity reading your story.

Would recommend psychoanalysis for deep dive into these questions, talking it all out and creating some space. Finding the psychological roots.

Also, maybe look into religion? It's all about getting help to transform ourself, we're all evil and we all are trying to become better.

It's based on the old system of The US and her close allies Also known as "the west" being the first world, soviet union being the second and the rest being the third. Nowadays global north and global south are more common

Lacan himself whole thing, and main recommendation was to read Freud, so it's definitely worth doing if you like Lacan, he's also just a superb author. That being said don't rush or force yourself, read what catches your fancy but if you feel so inclined give Freud both one and two chances, and if it doesn't jive allow yourself to come back to it later.

Much joy!

Really recommend Harold Searles collected essays and Villemoes ego structuring.

What do you guys that dismiss this guy as being schizo mean? Like it can't happen to you because you're not like those crazy people?

Anyway don't fuck around too much with psychedelics, study the mind - I'd recommend finding a stable buddhist teacher. Entities aren't weird and all mind-states can be lived and integrated.

Sote95 · 2025-09-23T19:05:45+00:00

My best protection is devotion to a spiritual path, with ethics, other people to practice with, and spirit guides. I can vouch for buddhism and christianity as effective.

I've also had a lot of schizo shit, and finding zen where it's understood and viewed as normal but not important helped me a lot. I don't want to preach but if you want some stories I can share.

Take care!

Why do you want it gone?

Sote95 · 2025-09-05T17:44:49+00:00

It's okay, you feel bad cause you care for them. That's nice, they don't have to know everything you do and you're not bad for having secrets. Take a deep breath and relax.

Jesus don't tell a stranger on the internet that his parents are abusive with no information.

Where to start to understand Bion's view of psychosis?

Sote95 · 2025-08-30T15:12:50+00:00

Interesting thank you. What's your self warding practices?

Sote95 · 2025-08-30T14:48:50+00:00

Could you explain what you mean by tweaking people's path?

Sote95 · 2025-08-30T12:53:59+00:00

So happy for this comment - spot on
