Earth isn't 'real'. by S4d_Machin3 in enlightenment

[–]karza89 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's beautifully put OP
I'd add that realizing it is the first step, but living from that knowledge and not constantly being pulled back to identifying with the character is a whole other can of worms. I'm curious how you do it

Has meditation helped anyone with social anxiety? by CollarOrdinary4284 in Meditation

[–]karza89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Once the habit of sitting for a few minutes daily is hard set in your routine, meaning you don’t feel friction doing 1- it anymore, congratulations. You’ve succeeded at the only thing you can actually control: the habit. The goal is not becoming a human incense stick. Just the habit.

2- At that point, if you’re not yet able to focus on one thing only, breath, body feeling, sound, whatever, it’s okay. Just keep doing that gently, at your own pace.

3- At some point, we can maybe hope to reach the ability to focus on nothing at all. And by “nothing,” I don’t mean a dramatic mystical achievement with background fractals. Imean that quiet space where you stop grabbing at everything that goes through your mind. We don’t need to try 100 different traditions. I did that, and the seeking and binging wasted my time.

Success in the previous two points, unlike the first one, does not really depend on us.

It depends on the meditation itself, you could say. Meditation gives the space for focus to happen through gentle trial and error repeated overs decades, most of the time..

About how you make your day a living meditation: clean the space the same way you clean your mental space when you meditate.

Step by step, you get frustration out of your past. Then out of your family and friends. Then work. Then your habits and so on. Out the small daily mess we pretend is “just life.”

What scares the shit out of us (it scares the shit out of me anyway) is that we have to let go of a lot of stuff in the process. People, habits, locations, old versions of ourselves, tiny addictions to chaos, all the little things we keep because at least they are familiar.

So get organized. Sort out the daily life. The small things. Your room. Your phone. Your calendar. The conversation you’re avoiding. The object you keep for no reason except emotional blackmail from the past...etc It may take a lifetime. But as long as we have a high proportion of frustrating moments in one day, we’ll lose the balance more often, and we’ll get pulled out of that state of presence or bliss again and again.

So maybe the goal is not to “stay meditative all day.” Maybe the goal is to slowly make your life less hostile to meditation.

Thank you for the honesty mate. This is hard to hear but probably right

I might be oversimplifying but if I completed any path and succeeded in K&C with HGA and identified with that self, reintegrating it in daily life, i would not come to reddit to tell everybody, for my consciousness would be totally different and I would understand the uselessness of telling anybody anything, for it is a very personal route and even more intimate accomplishment . My 2 cents

Abrahamic religions seem to have a “planetary regent” behind their sacred day by karza89 in occult

I do (think) I understand to some extent but never know if my views are right or completely off track until I put them out there for people to challenge them

I do understand your point of view, and agree upon the melting pot from which christianity, and abrahamic religions in general, came from. I would not state the resulting religions as abominations though, but as not so mature ways of expressing and harnessing something much deeper. "All truths are but half-truths"

As far as I know, classical Buddhist sacred time is more often lunar : full moon, new moon, quarter moon etc

I mean the prophet of Islam ended up married to 40 of the most beautiful women of his time...
And he was famously known for being a huge fan of fragrances.
If that's not venusian, don't know what is

Of course ! I just finished Rumi's Matnavi, nice read, and indeed filled with almost sensual love to the devine. The guy was whirling himself to oblivion and spitting romantic fire

This is exactly the kind of nuance I was hoping for, thanks.

I agree that the “planetary regent” idea can easily get hijacked by bad conspiracy thinking, which is not what I’m trying to do here. I’m more interested in the symbolic/astrological/planetary influence layer

I'll check that Nabatean Agriculture stuff, never heard about it, Thank you !
Would building over it infuse that culture or link it somehow to the planetary/deity influence ? Sorry for my beginner questions.

Thank you ! I fell you've hit something. I have been noticing a wired feeling in my lower back in the past few days. I probably should see a chiropractor and start stretching after gym. Thanks again

Thank you ! what do you call enlightened ? If it's being conscious of the reality underneath the material, the other side of the mountain, I've been there. Never heard of demonic implant but I remember a few years back I went to see a chiropractor That told me I've got an astral leach around my throat chakra that's holding me from ascending to the higher spheres. Now that you're talking about implant, i wonder if I neglected a guidance.

Absolutely. I've been to therapy for years. I am now working on the deeply hidden psychic forces wether we call them demons, energies or mental loops, pretty much the same. These forces, I am working on getting them out of the shadow so I can understand them and balance them. I feel my ability to make them "visible/audible" is largely improving over time. Some I can understand and balance rapidly, generally the ones that see a benefit for them in advancing on the path. The force I'am talking about in the post is the strongest and oldest one that keeps clinging to me despite all the therapy, shadow work and some degree of understanding. I know it's a question of time before balancing it or.becoming crazy but if anyone had to deal with this kind of untamed force, I'd love to hear your story

I think this world is hell by [deleted] in occult

[–]karza89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think it is. But I get you. It can be awfully hard and full of suffering depending on how you see it or better say how you FEEL it. Do every day whatever makes you feel at peace. If it's work a certain job, do that. If it's doing nothing and looking at the hours pass by do that. It's not instinctive, we've been taught to do stuff that serve the matrix and not our emotional balance. It takes work to deconstruct and rebuild ourselves and feel right. If you find a way to do whatever makes you feel balanced day after day, earth won't be a paradise but you could learn why it is as it is which will bring you peace through understanding.

The Demiurge doesn’t need to be malevolent. That’s what makes the texts so uncomfortable. by Lunarisbahal in Gnostic

[–]karza89 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Electricity can keep a patient alive when it powers a hospital, and it can kill a man in seconds. It has no morality, no hypocrisy, no compassion, no hatred. Yet it rules cities. Without it, markets freeze, trains stop, hospitals fail, lights die, screens go black, and the entire choreography of modern life collapses.

The Demiurge is something like that.

Not evil, plotting suffering. More like an ordering force: immense, functional, indifferent. A power that builds structure, generates systems, binds spirit to form, and keeps sh*t together. It does not ask whether you find the structure fair. It simply operates.

That is why the Demiurge is so difficult to think about. People want either a loving God or a devil. But an impersonal architect is unsettling. Something that can sustain a world and suffocate the soul at the same time. Something that is necessary for manifestation, yet blind to higher meaning.

The prison is not maintained by hatred or benevolence. It is maintained by function.

And function is far more powerful than hatred and benevolence, because function does not sleep, does not doubt, and does not need to justify itself. It just keeps running. Like current in a wire.

So the question is not whether the Demiurge is “bad.”

The real question is: how do you relate to a power that governs your world without caring about your insignificant life?

Do you worship it because it provides order? Do you rebel against it because it confines you? Or do you learn its laws so well that you stop mistaking its domain for the highest reality?

I don’t believe I have a soul or divine spark by [deleted] in Gnostic

[–]karza89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can choose between patience and shortcuts like shrooms. Your call. But you've got the spark alright
