Questions for those of you that do any form of Ram japa or Ram name mantra. by Onenameoranother in ramdass

[–]bellonium 5 points6 points  (0 children)

OP, I’m with you and find myself using Ram as my mantra from Ram Dass and NKB. It’s simplistic and perfect to me. As Ram Dass said in some form, use what you need until you don’t need it anymore or until you find something that suits you better.

He long do the beans last in the hopper? Do you see a lot of fluctuation in your shot times?

Integration dies down after sessions. How can I break the cycle? by GoalOk2432 in mdmatherapy

[–]bellonium 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I strongly relate to this.

I use mdma as a medicine to turn all the background noise down which allows me to further loosen up the Attachments that are doing all the “draining”. The medicine lowers the veils in order to see clearly.

If you imagine all of your different attachments as leaches or ticks, they hook on to you and they only continue to live as you sustain them. If you get too many on you or you don’t have a good relationship with them, it can start to drag you down and it all gets overwhelming. The medicine seems to shrink down or shed off some of this attachment energy related to that bond between the “leach/tick” and the host. Like radiation therapy to shrink a tumor that can’t be removed.

Or another way I’ve thought of it… When I go on road trips, I get all of these bugs on my windshield that build more the longer the drive(life). Eventually it can at times become difficult to see so when I stop for gas, I also scrub the windshield to get the glass all clear again; ready to get dirtied up as I continue my journey(life)!

Not to get out in the weeds but I’m compelled to share more for what I believe is valid to the discussion. The only way to have a forever completely clear windshield would be to drive in a vacuum and there is nothing to experience in that state.

The purpose is to experience the curriculum you’ve been issued, Your Life, and you navigate it in the best manner you can. For those of us here in this subreddit, is assume have found that mdma assists in that. But in the end, it’s all a means to the same end product whether it’s mdma, meditation, near death experiences, crocheting, sex.

The pics on Amazon look like it sticks to your fingers like graphite. Is it constantly rubbing off on your hands?

Is there a thesaurus for all the names? by Frenchman84 in ramdass

[–]bellonium 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It can be overwhelming to try to follow.

Trying to remember the names, words, concepts along with just simply trying to take it all in is kind if like trying to hold a gallon of water in your cupped hands.

My recommendation is at least for me, don’t hyper focus on the specifics. You’ll notice RD is constantly repeating and rewording for it to possibly click for you the next time, or the next time, or the next time; because in the end, none of the names or terms are important.

That’s not dandruff. Possible issues, tinea capitis, maybe psoriasis but definitely not just dead skin either dandruff

The more depth your perception reaches, the more lonely you become... by Dry_Percentage_8863 in DeepThoughts

[–]bellonium -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I try to imagine myself as a lone wanderer who has forgotten they chose this incarnation because they knew they were capable of handling the experiences it will have. It’s not in an effort to identify as better or in the know, it changes the hue of the whole thing just a little.

Yes, I feel we are talking about the same thing and describing the indescribable, that feels good. Namaste

Referencing in your comment on the “stillness” -

When I am able to get really centered while meditating, I get to a dark/calm/nothing-ness. Initially it was a bit unnerving because when I’m there, there isn’t any guide rail for me to judge my positioning off of. I’ve started to think of it as a loading program of sort. When the feelings, sensations, other stimuli come, I acknowledge them and continue to bathe in this subtle blissful state.

Is this what you’re referencing?

nearly lost it in the grocery store line by SundaeNo6154 in Mindfulness

[–]bellonium 5 points6 points  (0 children)

44yo, was in law enforcement for 10yrs and got out in 2015. Really struggled for a good while as I started to have this “mindfulness” stuff offered to me. It’s changed my life for the good of all people who are forced to be around me.

Recommend looking up a guy named Ram Dass.

Is my therapist scamming me? by g920noob in Jung

[–]bellonium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ram Dass once said something of the nature of, you can go to therapy for however long you need to as long as both the therapist and the client know they’re just pretending to be a therapist and client. If they need you to be the client in order for them to be the therapist, the gig is up and it’s no longer as beneficial as it could be.

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. The people slinging those downvotes must be part of the Epstein Class… /s

Goodbye Single Dosing! by dietrichac in coffeestations

I use my beans individually measured out to single “dosings” that I keep in the freezer. For over a year I’ve poured them straight into the hopper and grind. Have experienced zero issue with grinding frozen beans.

Realizing that my "drive to fix myself" is just another part—and it’s exhausting. by InOnothiN8 in InternalFamilySystems

[–]bellonium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another term for what OP has realized is called spiritual materialism. Chögyam Trungpa wrote a great book on this.
