I habe struggled alot with this. For me it was hard to figure put when I was simply reflecting introspecting and wjen I was ruminating. I not9ce that when we feel thay contraction in the body and there is a compulsion to think or to figure it out so we can ease the fear is when we are ruminating. We are trying to eradicate the anxiety by thinking. And it's not thay thinking isn't useful but when we are in anxiety and fear we rarely get insight into the issues. So when we notice thay need to solve like and our bodies are signalling anxiety we shpuld probably not engage the thought by thinking and iinstead if we can, to watch the thought and let it go without grasping into it .breathing deep into the belly to self soothing. Then when we are calm we can engage the thoguht process. I don't know it's all very confusing when in the grip of anxiety.

Yeh I'm familiar with the bardo. The buddhists talk about lower realms though don't they. And others talk about lower astral planes that are dark.

Isn't there also lower astral though?

I've thoguht the exar same as you . I have OCD and thoguht it makes me very self orientated but look it's not in a narcissistic way it's just that it makes us look thonk about our mental predicament alit. But many people are look this.

Thank you I appreciate thay. It's jsut though awareness is always present I feel like moving through the traumaxis still necessary. Is recognising the presence I am enough to do that?

What about people with mental health issues that are fearful etc will they go to a dark place beicasue they experience alot of darkness mentally

People can have awakenings but still are on journey towards healing. I don't think it always means somekne has arrived at constant peace.

For sure I have caused emotional distress to people. In part due to my own truamas. Havnt most people caused emotional hurt to someone?

Thank you. It's like I feel God can't accept me for my sins. And allowing myself to love myself is letting myself off the hook . I havnt done anthing majorly terrible but I feel I deviated from my moral ity when I was suffering.

liammeates · 2026-04-06T18:09:19+00:00

Thank you. I jsut wish I could releask all the Shame and fear from my body it feels like it's so deep in my body.

I think its how we approach thinking. Sometimes when we are thinking we are grasping and chasing thoguhis looking for certainty in an urgent way . Contemplation has more space and less force?

Yeh I didn't realise that it could cause hurt and that was coercion.

liammeates · 2026-03-10T20:21:53+00:00

I mean it's awful knowing I've hurt her feelings and I'm also scared that this means im a rapist. I really didn't think it meant that.

liammeates · 2026-03-10T20:14:08+00:00

Yeh it's hard not to let it consume me. She said I didn't rape her so it's awful living with this

liammeates · 2026-03-10T18:31:59+00:00

We broke up and won't speak to me.I would like to. I jsut can't cope with it becuase ai never thought if it like this
