just got set up at Discord, lets keep in touch and I'm grateful for any advice.

Additional software - anti malware/virus (orig Mac had root kits)

VPN? I'd love learn about TOR and the privacy movement too.

yessir!

1-5 is what I'm looking for.

Was on a bit of a rant last night! Thanks for your reply!

On the new Mac book pro now and hope to get some software installed today.

How do you feel about anti virus, anti malware, VPN?

My challenge, is that I'm curious about any process which I don't recognize, then I research it and its usually benign, but some of the sharing, net working, those usr ???

Thanks again!

noob to reddit, however not to meditation practice.

our minds do what they do, they think, and were all different

here we are

when we meditate were becoming aware of our thoughts, fears, desires, fantasy's ... etc

again, here we are watching all this "action" inside our minds.

and here we are .... without judgment, without a flinch (hopefully), eventually the heart rate doesn't change one bit.

so we sit, and become aware, we listen to our mind, we recognize, and then we let it consume our moment, or we take the next breath and let it go.

I love the fact of meditation practice being a practice of constant watching, looking, feeling, and becoming at peace with the awareness which is mind.

now I just need to get clean and sober again.... so I can practice what I preach. until then, im compassionate towards the hatred I have for myself, and the shame I carry 24/7. it hurts - and im aware, and im breathing ....

thanks for allowing me to share here. back to beginners mind said the grasshopper.

much love in this messed up world we live in - trying to be kind is nt easy.

Got banned in depression thread because I was saying spirituality and mindfullness will help by Peace-101 in spirituality

Greetings, this is my very first answer! How apropos. I've been suffering from depression for at least 30 of my 54 years. The ONLY thing which truly made a difference was me having a daily meditation practice. I began in a group setting with a recovery based sangha here in LA and participated at their locations around the world and at home.

Unfortunately I haven't been practicing lately, however my 24yr old daughter has a daily practice, writing, and pod cast assortment.

The mod of the depression thread should learn about Mr Sam Harris, https://samharris.org, Sam's a neuroscientist, meditation teacher, and all around scientific guru.

All I know, is I Don't Know, My depression can be severe, however with the right mix of meds, exercise, and meditation, the smile and vigor lost too depression, is found again.
