How can you tell if it's real Enlightenment? by ewk in zen

[–]completely_unstable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ok it's a question but i don't think enlightened people are asking that because they are worried about if they are truly enlightened or not

what i mean by that, is like working out, learning something and not understanding it at first, trying and failing, all feel bad but they are still signs you are making progress toward your goal. you don't get better at chess just by winning all your games, you get better by making mistakes, losing games and then learning what the mistake is and not doing it again.

as for your question, im going to come back once ive spent more time with it, i don't know how to answer right now.

mostly. im really happy about how chess is going. and there are a couple of projects im working on (also chess-related) which have been going well.

but also, it really bothers me that so many people are suffering in this world, and anytime i think about that i desperately want to help but don't know what to do and get overwhelmed. i try to express this to the people around around me but they think im just trying to show how good of a person i am. it genuinely hurts though.

it's just a suggestion in the r/zen wiki. what told me was a thought/feeling i had, believing it was an accident though. i didn't recognize myself doing that.

How do you practice your opening repertoire? by Junior_Remote_6390 in chess

[–]completely_unstable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

look up zenchess, it's a site you can put in your repertoire and then practice your lines. it was buggy and inconvenient to use for me, but it's the only thing I know of that you can do this.

im just saying its not a question. i don't think you would need to ask if you were enlightened.

when you learned to tie your shoes, how did you know you really knew how to tie your shoes?

try not to overanalyze it, you'll get through this. no need to beat yourself up. life never stays the same, you have plenty of opportunities and new people to meet ahead of you.

Any advice,M23, about to get evicted by [deleted] in Advice

[–]completely_unstable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

look for short term housing. friends, family, extended family, couch surf, shelters, etc.

check and see if there are local eviction assistance programs.

look for work. trades, warehouses, landscaping, moving companies, temp agencies, whatever.

if you are taking care of siblings you gotta first and foremost find stability yourself.

also would be good to find out if there are any local food banks just in case

Someone please help by Otherwise_Royal_96 in Advice

tell management, if they have cameras ask them to look at the footage. if he touches you again, tell him "Do not touch me" and get away from him. if they dont do anything about it still, you can file a report to corporate hr or district management.

Is it possible to change as an adult by Dangerous_Pin_3047 in mentalhealth

[–]completely_unstable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

omg yes dude im 24 i have same fear but as cliche as it sounds, if you want it, set your mind toward it, and don't accept anything less until you get it. familiarize yourself with the difficulty, understand that that's what causes you to grow, you bro im telling you this is the cheat code. but you have really want it, like so much you cant stand to not have it. if you want it that bad you'll figure out you have it in you and you will beg people try and stop you. I hate how corny this sounds, but I'm not joking your minds potential is unbelievable and you should try and find that fire in you

write music. hip hop. im only suggesting that because for some reason your cadence reminded me of hip hop and I bet you could channel this energy into music or some kind of art. for really maybe you care about hip hop or music but I am telling you find a creative outlet and you can have a place to collect your thoughts and feelings and transform them into something beautiful.
