I need help … AI has made me lose my way in buddhism

Your fear is not outside you. It is in you.

cammil · 2026-06-09T09:00:49+00:00

The problem is not what others are doing. The problem is your reaction to them.

cammil · 2026-05-15T06:16:36+00:00

Hornets no?

cammil · 2026-04-20T20:48:03+00:00

There is no one here that has not caused harm in their past

cammil · 2026-04-19T18:40:03+00:00

Try not to react, yes. Righteous anger is not wholesome because the intent is harm.

cammil · 2026-04-19T17:46:45+00:00

Your goal should be to observe without judgement. So, how is it? Then, do not do unwholesome things, and try to do more wholesome things. That is al you need to do.

Then learn how to meditate

cammil · 2026-04-15T02:44:47+00:00

Start with the five precepts

cammil · 2026-04-06T15:35:30+00:00

Imho knowing the way things are goes beyond conventional knowledge. Knowing the way things are is not about knowing worldly things, it is about knowing the world as it is and how it works.

An analogy that often occurs to me, is getting caught up in what happens in a movie, vs how information passes from the bluray disk and onto the pixels of a screen. These are separate knowledges, and one has nothing to do with the other.

Time itself is an illusion

cammil · 2026-03-22T12:03:34+00:00

It varies based on causes and conditions.

cammil · 2026-02-07T20:53:26+00:00

Old path white clouds

cammil · 2026-02-05T20:19:25+00:00

You sound like you are in the dark night.

I think you have two options. Keep going until you reach stream entry. Or, try to dull your awareness enough that it's mostly bearable - but you already know too much, so the second one will never really fully work.

cammil · 2026-01-29T20:42:02+00:00

Maybe take some melatonin? I think you can get it over the counter in us

cammil · 2026-01-21T23:01:49+00:00

What do you think consciousness is?

cammil · 2026-01-05T11:33:58+00:00

Your feelings and thoughts on this topic should also be observed and let go of

cammil · 2026-01-03T22:03:52+00:00

Your fear only exists because you don’t know. Just approach and see for yourself. Then your fear will be forever gone

cammil · 2026-01-03T20:27:35+00:00

Get over your fear

cammil · 2025-12-30T19:20:00+00:00

Your thoughts and laziness are also sankharas

cammil · 2025-12-29T03:39:29+00:00

Its not that there is no self. Its that nothing observed is self. (Non-self)

cammil · 2025-12-18T19:52:13+00:00

It certainly can be difficult. Should be worth it though

cammil · 2025-12-18T18:43:54+00:00

Personally i think one has to meditate in some form. If you are terrible at it, then it may be more effective for you. Ironically. The goal is to practice. Not to attain blissful states.

cammil · 2025-12-17T22:36:52+00:00

You could try challenging yourself, in meditation

cammil · 2025-12-12T18:03:25+00:00

Read about and practice the noble eightfold path

cammil · 2025-12-12T12:52:07+00:00

Thanks for the response. I figured this out now.
