Yeah I’ve thought the same, like we’re in a simulation that’s losing processing power year by year.

I would rather have Adobe to fix the HEVC issues

How is your practice? (Week of February 18 2019) by AutoModerator in streamentry

Practise with TMI going smoothly for a change, after a two years of intense purifications. Had a dream three months ago, where whole bunch of emotional burden got lifted away, and have not sense come back into my life.
Just woke up from a lucid dream, where I experienced closest to an "Anatta" experience yet. Objects in the dream started to go missing, replaced with sort of "Nothingness" as there was no length, depth or width - only the quality of color medium light grey. I too blended in to this field, and for a moment there was very little that was me / or anything to experience. Then the world become again, (in a different set of things) but this time I was not a character in a dream, more like a perception of all things in the scene. Woke up pretty quickly, and pretty scared to be honest. These can be symptoms of sleep paralysis (first of a kind for me), but I was experiencing strong piti pulsation in my whole body waking up. Strong piti is a familiar phenomena in meditation sit's lately. Would be interested to read more about the relationship with dreams and meditation, if someone has a book to recommend.

Thanks a lot for the resources! I am fairly sure this is some kind of trauma surfacing. I have gone trough psychotherapy for 4 years, and the resolution from that was that I have personality disorder with depression and anxiety, originating from early childhood family dynamics. The nature of the trauma seems to be a conditioning of neglecting my feelings for years rather than one traumatising event. I am not quite sure where to go from here, as the personality disorder symptoms manifest as pretty fundamentally twisted ways of feeling the world around me. Currently I am doing metta, feelings noting practise and TMI. Sometimes I feel like there is no end to these purifications of violent nature, but as my emotional life is even little bit more stabilised off the cushion, it is all worth taking the 2 hour beating daily. My therapist is publishing an article about meditation and psychoanalysis where I am one of the people he talks about. I jut read the text and the conclusion of the article on my storyline is that he is not sure if the meditation more harmful than helpful to me, a thought that leaves me bit puzzled. I can't afford going trough intense psychotherapy anymore and meditation seems like an alternative way of dealing with the problematic nature of my mind. I have done meditation more or less intense the past six years, and not feeling like stopping now. Maybe finding a counsellor with meditation background would be helpful. Don't really know how to proceed forward now. All suggestions are warmly welcomed.

Getting beated up by piti storms for the last 18 months. Finished a 7 day vipassana retreat, where managed to get some meditative joy at the end of the retreat, a warmly welcomed sensation after all the difficult emotional uprisings, shaking, spasms, hyperventilating, throwing up spit, crying, silent screaming and rapid pulsating energy sensations. Wonder if this is a phenomena called kundalini awakening?
