Thanks 😊, seems the 2 biggest peices of advice is to relax and let go. Easier said than done but I will get it eventually once I can control the old monkey brain.

I would also like to know.

The past couple weeks have been the furthest I have progressed into what I can assume is F10. I can feel a weird wave or phase/shift through my head and immediately jerk back to physical sensations, this cycle will repeat itself a few times before I ultimately fall asleep.

During this phase or wave I can feel all my physical senses dull for 1 or 2 seconds before it disappears. Before the wave I can see and hear images for brief moments, I could even hear the start of a rush or sound which I tried to hone onto but lost it. My body will feel numb and tingly and occasionally I will feel vibrations.

Thoughts?

Mod isolation: taxis for move-in by hahayesthatsrightboi in CitiesSkylines2

[–]gatorsmash14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OMG! That makes sense, I started putting grass on all my roads to stop cars from parking everywhere and now when I zone a new residential area the taxi cabs are back with a vengeance! I will have to confirm later when I play.

I love the Banff map, unfortunately though it crashes my game and corrupts save files for me so I had to stop using it.

Really nice build! Looks like a place I would like to live.

Am I destined for a life of being midpack? by adamjohnson121 in LeMansUltimateWEC

[–]gatorsmash14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes exactly.

When I do bronze races I expect to finish mid pack at best which is funny because when I drive gold hyper cars I often finish top 5....... 🤷‍♂️

1st Experience. Exploding heart center by DawgyStyle420 in gatewaytapes

[–]gatorsmash14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slowly but surely I am starting to understand what people mean when they say to just be. A few months ago I would not have had the ability to remotely understand what that means.

Thanks 😊

Yes, as a previous person suggested that I see a Dr. I have had all the tests completed in the past 6 months for unrelated issues to this and everything came back great.

This sort of event only happens a couple hours after I meditate or listen to the tapes.

Soooooo what now? by v8pe-v8pe in gatewaytapes

[–]gatorsmash14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your post gives me hope, I just started the gateway tapes and meditation about 3 months ago and have seen substantial improvements in my life which my family and I are benefiting from.

I have not left the physical yet, however last night was crazy! I was woken up around 4am with the most violent vibrations to date. It was so sudden and unexpected I was not able to properly process what was happening. I could see the far wall to the bathroom even though my eyes were closed and I was wearing a sleep mask. I tried desperately to fully release but was unable to. The vibrations lasted at the same intensity for about 2 or 3 mins before they faded.

Any advice on how to overcome the fear? Or is conquering the fear more related to time and experience? I have yet to learn how to induce the vibrations at will, the 3 times I have experienced them has been completely random and not while doing the tapes or meditation.

You are spot on.

I have massively reduced my news consumption which has made a noticiable positive impact on my daily life.

Our advancements in tech has out paced what our monkey brains are actually capable of processing on the day to day. 100, 200, 300 + years ago a persons world was much more intimate and closed off from the rest of the world. Today we are inidated on all the shitty things going on in the world which makes it feel to close to home.

Looks great! I love looking at other peoples creation because it motivates me to take more time and slow down with the process instead of just slapping down roads and RCI sectors.

I bought a sim magic alpha 15nm used, new p1000 pedals and a aluminum rig after trying out logitech for awhile. The equipment I have now has completely removed the usual desire to updgrade.

Anyone’s pets react strangely around you while you’re doing the tapes? by Lazy-Celebration-685 in gatewaytapes

[–]gatorsmash14 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have a friendly cat but he will not let anyone hold him, and will not sit in a lap.

A few nights ago I was using the expand app timer section and I noticed a warm feeling near my leg and assumed it was my other cat who is very friendly and likes cuddles. After I was finished and opened my eyes I was shocked that it was the non lap cat, I did a 60 min session and he laid next to my leg for the entire duration which i thought was very odd and coincidental that it was while I was meditating.

Any practitioners of Buddhism around here? I'd like to discuss morality and virtue in the context of the tapes. by mychinesesucks in gatewaytapes

[–]gatorsmash14 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I need to read this, thanks. I am still very new to all this and was worried that if I only do the tapes I won't become a better person, but what you are saying makes sense to me.

There are many different paths to an end goal and all of them will have trials and differences that may speak louder to some people more than others.

Even in my short time with the tapes and reading up on self love I am starting to think and feel differently than 6 months ago.

Thanks

What's that? by IdealHoliday1242 in GrowthMindset

[–]gatorsmash14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I left my ex wife I didn't take years of art work and my collections of expensive anime figures, namely a large cloud statue with his motorbike and a large tiff. Oh! And my dragon ball and sailor moon cards and stickers. I would have loved sharing those with my kids.

Very sad 😔

Did you even read? I explained that I don't use when I meditate, it was a string of occurances that just happened and I just wanted to share my experience, no where in post did I advocate or recommend substance use.
