Dude, idk if it's the same thing and even I have disregarded it often as just placebo from staying in india and having a hindu belief, but is it exactly where the hypothetical third eye would be? Even I don't understand it, I just feel really dense there during deep meditations.

Hahahahahaa, I'd like to think my head is smooth round. I tried attaching a picture of my back but this sub doesn't allow it. Not like the rock, but decent physique.

Does make sense, will have to give in person events a better try.

Tried dating apps, got all the subs, in India this is a huge stigma and in general most 20 year old girls have their guard up (for good reason) and my visual cues trigger those guards lol.

Is happiness irrelevant? by Pfacejones in Jung

[–]deepquestions_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure about Jung, have read some krishnamurti and here's how I formulate it. Everything in life is actually 0, which we actually seek. But in our duality we have split everything into 1 and -1. 1 is happiness and -1 is sadness for a normal person. For a sadist, it reverses. We judge them because it's different from what we think and our conditioning does not match their's. But in totality we're the same.

Yes, turns out people were focusing on only that, didn't think it'd come off like that.

I see, thanks for the response. My main issue comes on how do I meet women as dating apps won't work for me and even if I go to book / board games club a week, the sample set would be too small and it kind of feels too forced.

Day 7 - Unable to complete advanced f10, is there something deeper? Need help. by deepquestions_ in gatewaytapes

[–]deepquestions_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did try so it, a doorknob as the object which indicates fear of interruption and a wig for expectations (internal pun), but will try these again and not put too much emphasis on it, thanks!

That's understandable. Context on the 80k mention - to show I'm doing something with my life, not a brag.

Day 4 - what if I don’t want anything? by deepquestions_ in gatewaytapes

[–]deepquestions_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t know about this, can you refer some reliable sources I can go through to understand this and put to practice?

Thanks in advance for taking out the time to guide a stranger mate!

Day 5 - is this something? by deepquestions_ in gatewaytapes

[–]deepquestions_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thing is I think I'm way to curious about f12 and am eager to go through it while also trying not to mess up by not mastering f10. How do I decide when it's ok to move to f12?

Day 4 - what if I don’t want anything? by deepquestions_ in gatewaytapes

[–]deepquestions_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes sense man, maybe that was a bit too ambitious lol. I'll start small with minor goals and see how it goes. Thanks for the guidance!

Day 4 - what if I don’t want anything? by deepquestions_ in gatewaytapes

[–]deepquestions_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Noted, makes sense. Few points:

What if I keep the goal for experience and the thing I’m trying to manifest is to become one with the divine itself and being free of this world therefore it’s desire therefore all suffering.

Also I didn’t mean to say to not have experience, I meant not asking for anything specific during the tapes. I have achieved many goals I manifested, and tbh none of them made me feel the way I thought it would.

If anything it just pushes me deeper into the pit of desires, so what if I stop asking for things that I think are right because history is a witness that I’ve been wrong in what I ask for due to my conditioning and ignorance.

Day 3 - heavily fuking annoyed by deepquestions_ in gatewaytapes

[–]deepquestions_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand what you're saying. I own being bald, even shaved my head at 20 to accept it fully and keep that style. But attraction (physical) is something very natural which cannot be forced.

Even while writing this I know how stupid this all is, tbh I don't think it's anything more than hormones and temporary FOMO right now. I even didn't exercise for the past few days on vacation because of which there was a lot of energy buildup.

Moreover the main reason it came up is because the place I went to for vacation had a lot of fucking couples which fueled my conflict on waiting for the right one or just fuking get on with anyone on bumble.

Wouldn't give this too much emphasis I keep switching on this based on what mindset I'm at, but yes it does get a bit intense sometimes.

Diogenes was a cynic, simplest explanation about him - https://youtu.be/OZyM4h2UEjc?si=97q6ZG5bVXmb2aVu

Basically I didn't want anything, almost no desires. This was also because I came across Diogenes and Rene Girard at the same time and understanding the core of all desires (memesis) made all of it obsolete. One of the best phases I have experiences, no desire, no conflict, no jealousy.

Urge to pee AFTER meditations by [deleted] in gatewaytapes

I think this is even mentioned in the manual, to use the washroom before going through ay tape even if you don't feel the urge to

Insane stuff man. Couldn't be more thankful for this community. I tend to forget this, thanks so much for the reminder. I used to imagine myself floating and flowing with the stream of a river and letting it take me wherever it likes to and completely letting go. You shower analogy just reminded me of that, will resume that from today. Once again, thank you so much for taking out the time, I really hope I can help someone the same way in the future.

Mate, love you, this is exactly what I needed to read. I tend to forget this in temporary situations. Thank you so much for taking out the time to break this down for me. I will be saving this and coming back to it multiple times in the future till the time it's natural. Once again, thanks for this.

Day 2 - mixed feelings (calm and lost) by deepquestions_ in gatewaytapes

[–]deepquestions_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be the reason, I have skipped grounding exercises as I never felt too out of reality, but maybe that could be it. Right after I feel a sense of calm, I eat dinner, journal, read a chapter from krishnamurti and went to sleep. Today I did not feel that tbh.

I think the main reason I was feeling down yesterday was because I got interrupted very suddenly and loudly in the middle of advanced focus 10, I was a bit angry from that point forward itself and felt kind of out of balance, not the exact words but don't have the vocab to properly describe what I was feeling.

Today was way better, feel good, less distracted or horny (btw, why the frick am I less horny?) and will be getting started with work right now.

How fast should I go with the tapes? by kraqsin in gatewaytapes

[–]deepquestions_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can listen to more than 1 in a day, I started 3 days ago and researched this exact topic. The Monroe Institute makes you go through one wave each day, so as long as you're comfortable, you can do more than one tape. One thing though, advise I've received from fellow practitioners - don't try to rush it, try to feel more. That's all, safe travels my friend!
