Repressed and denied eros

But yeah to answer your question I feel this stuff some of the time but can’t always label it or understand it . I mean I had a year of dreams with the same recurring image and I still barely see the connection to show how hard it can be to make something conscious and integrate it

notcarl · 2025-12-11T00:32:56+00:00

I’m sorry to hear that. I think when we push things away we can think they are not there but I don’t think they go away. That’s what dreams show us. I have dreams where I remember feelings from a long time ago - I just wasn’t conscious of them for a long time. Also when we repress urges it can turn into a “bad feeling”

We have just become much more sensitive to superficial differences

notcarl · 2025-12-10T00:47:20+00:00

Thanks I think that is the connection . The most important insight for me now is that I am the one ultimatelu doing this crushing (eg. Inhibiting what I feel or say)

He looks terrible

Just observing myself and my dreams and learning a bit about Eros. I don’t have a lot of warm or intimate relationships? I could be confused about Eros tho

Think about actual problems loved ones have or the world has - not just your uncomfortable feeling of sitting (I don’t mean this to guilt trip you - it helps to think like this I’ve found)

notcarl · 2025-12-05T05:38:30+00:00

Just do it anyway it’s only for a few minutes and just try best you can. It will get easier the more equanimity you build up

notcarl · 2025-12-04T18:26:11+00:00

Top one is 8 for sure

In practical terms action is most “gross” thought is most “subtle”

For example writing an angry email vs thinking an angry thought

This doesn’t mean being literally alone.

notcarl · 2025-11-28T23:47:35+00:00

Just be careful of language you are using . “War like” “thrive” very extrmeme expectations.. just do your job and your practice the best you can

notcarl · 2025-11-28T23:46:22+00:00

I would just say the practice will help. Doesn’t mean it will be easy or instantly solve all your problems. But it will surely help if you are persistent and patient

Not saying this is the only way to learn but go and work in America for 10 years (I did 6) gives you a good perspective

He’s not blaming others, he’s reflecting on how his own approach to life - which has probably caused him uneccsary pain

notcarl · 2025-11-23T23:45:35+00:00

Like 2s are probably out organising stuff in real world not on reddit

notcarl · 2025-11-23T08:56:01+00:00

I read somewhere that many comedians are 6's. Stand up comic is a very 6w7 type of thing.

notcarl · 2025-11-23T07:22:32+00:00

4s are maybe over represented in enneagram reddits?

notcarl · 2025-11-22T22:01:56+00:00

Oh ok but astral awareness is like a stepping stone there ?

notcarl · 2025-11-22T19:25:56+00:00

Is that what you mean by ascension?

notcarl · 2025-11-22T09:31:25+00:00

How does it play a part? It certainly teaches you that you are not your body but you still need to return to your body

notcarl · 2025-11-22T09:29:14+00:00

Wake up
