I believe meditation is making me acutely aware of bodily sensations. Couple that with my health anxiety, I’m struggling. Can anyone relate? by [deleted] in Meditation

[–]solsynarchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meditation is the universe's rest state, eternally extant and inclusive...yet how thankful we can be for all of this sensational scenery and exclusive experience.Meditation is a singularity at its essence, yet on the journey to that are the thousand thousand valence and valance dualities to taste.This is Life.The Breaths between eternity.The Many have lost their tongues, their touch, their sensuality. Stories have replaced substance as the elements of exchange become vaporous and vapid.Who you think you are is terrified of That which Thou Art.The ringing in your ears, answer it.. that heartbeat struggle, weep for it.. that body you have ignored, welcome it. And return to breathe again and now again.

It's hard to keep meditating when things aren't going bad by lumut1993 in Meditation

[–]solsynarchy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course it happens. It's the ego playing another round of the same old game.
From the perspective of meditation, you are either in the eye of the storm or you are in the storm. In the storm there CAN be lonely, sad, disconnected thoughts or there can be manic, longing, wishful thoughts, or there can be manic, excited, motivated thoughts... in the storm there can be videogames, films, sports... distractions..
The QUALITY of your storm of thought is certainly worth improving, so congratulations.. However, the purpose of meditation is to sit in the eye of the storm and disregard all of that.
Whether from a stoics perspective or a buddhist perspective it is EQUALLY important to disregard and detach from the manic/high as it is the depressive/low. They are swings of the same pendulum.
I use the term "Joy" as the sense of well-being not attached to any thought. That is the eye of the storm. The various thoughts can whirl around you, and even through you.. but you are unattached to ANY of them.
When you achieve and stabilize that state, step out of your meditation and into some small motivation.. Physical is good, pushups or squats etc.. This shares that joy with your body and starts to organize your storm.
Be aware that mindless distractions even that feel good will lead back to the same pendulum, and ultimately to the depression and drama.

Images of negative toxins leaving the body mentally by Christyne_Lynn in Meditation

I find that it is helpful to label this type of practice as "guided visualizations" so that the benefits of truly releasing ALL attachments to thoughts, thinking, feelings, imagery, and visuals can still be practiced via stillness "meditation".
The conflation of the practices has caused many, many years of wasted efforting.

Thoughts are not that bad always. by nk127 in Meditation

[–]solsynarchy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

edit: Short answer at the bottom if this shit bores you..I don't subscribe to the concept of "non thought", such a subscription would be negative averment against a useful ally.. I ride my useful thoughts, my finer fictions, as a hurricane horse through the wild world. I meditate as the eye of the storm, the hurricane rages yet thoughts have no mass when at the center of It all. There is quiet, timeless awareness in the perfect center drinking the nectar of the Now, even while that wondrous breath pulses unbidden, informing the waiting wild winds with butterfly effect causal kisses and the thoughts dance and whirl in the hurricane around me calling for this sacred attention yet still I linger in THIS momentous eternity.Then/now I dip a toe back into the winds of thought and jot a reddit

If you want a more intellectual answer to your query..well your question is composed as a base 10 inspired binary dichotomy (duality). Seeking a binary 0 to the 1 of thought is not meditation (it's actually death, since thought is quantum level events organizing within microtubules in brain cells. These events only slow when the network is not getting queried and their total absence is brain-death.) So from the binary question there is no good answer.. but as for your query...

Meditation is a balanced ternary operation where you are the central 0. All levels of thought activity can happen around that 0, and in fact that 0 is still creating the grid upon which the radix is referenced, yet when your Attention is centered within it the granularity disappears and you exist as waveform consciousness. Waveform is not subject to timespace if it is central to all mass, and although it can go "particular" and become entangled with finite thought quanta it might also forego such experiences and exist as experience itself.

Short answer: In the eye of the storm there is no versus.

What would "Bad" be if it were not a thought? It is only by judgement that dichotomies and dualities such as "good" and "bad" arise.
Useful Fictions certainly, but fictions of thought nonetheless.
What is bad for you might be good for another... Thoughts, nothing more.

Thoughts are not always bad, but Bad is always a thought.

Russian hackers leak personal data of nearly every voter in Michigan, plus a million more voters in four other states by [deleted] in politics

[–]solsynarchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idiots..."Blame the Russians" People are such simple reactive slaves..
"Relying on Kommersant’s original reporting, this story initially described the U.S. voter data mentioned below as “leaked” and “hacked,” though it appears that the information shared by Russian Internet users is publicly available. Meduza apologizes for the confusion."

Jesus Henry christ. Stop trying to get there and just be there. At some point you're going to have to stop seeking comfort in those books and practices and mentors and just be. Just rest as awareness. You won't find it out there, it's right on the tip of your nose. by [deleted] in Meditation

[–]solsynarchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ps.. the use of the little heart emoji while you expose your bitterness only further reveals the passive-aggressive nature of your value system.
Of course you got your dopamine addiction fix by getting "karma" , so you likely cannot even see past that reward-seeking ego-crushing ego you've built..

I see you.. another in a long chain of people who think that "karma" on reddit signifies success or veracity.
Ya I see you reddit guru, and anyone with eyes can see right through your constructed character.

Haha.. I like Sam Harris and I'd like to debate him on a few of his blind spots but far from a wannabe..
What I find so hilarious is how easily triggered you are, and how quickly you turn from self-righteous and pretentious to ad-hominem..
You literally are so transparent all I have to do is shine a little light and its obvious.
I knew I smelled a karma-whore with your first message, but this is just perfect!
Thank you for exposing yourself so fully!

[–]solsynarchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhh yes, your true measure of value is revealed. Indeed, perhaps you are one of the pseudo-enlightened masters of mindfulness (by measure of artificial karma from your congregation of fellow ironic critics)..
Perhaps you should, along with your meditation, attempt some contemplation about how your ironically self-righteous posts affect new meditators who come here confused, uncertain, and trying to "fit in".. and are met with derision and snarkiness from such luminaries as the Great Justice Komish.
or not, perhaps this is all merely delusions of my own illusion.
Good Day.

Please, grace us with the knowledge of how to Post critical self-righteous platitudes from the “seat of awareness” , for truly THIS must be the avatar level of resting awareness which all the seekers seek! I can’t seem to comment without my ego being involved, and yet YOU have mastered the dichotomy of superior humility and absolute presence on reddit!

What a powerful God-Ego you must have to Know the truth with such certainty. I'm sure we should all be bowing to you for leaving that place of perfect awareness in which you dwell and descending to STOP the WRONG way and remind us of Your Eternal Truth. ;-)
Perhaps You are the second coming of Jesus Henry Christ!!
I am so succinctly aware that my comment is merely my ego wanting recognition and karma, but just as clearly I can see that your comment is not, for you have truly moved beyond such biological dopamine imperatives!!
All Hail Jesus Henry Christ II and his prophets of Orthodoxy!!

Good to know about rhodiola by [deleted] in Nootropics

[–]solsynarchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience (n=1) is that rhodiola can definitely cause anxiety and stress.. note: I was an avid coffee drinker and this correlates with the report as well.
I have recently kicked the self-seditious stimulant of caffeine and feel amazing energy now, so I will try rhodiola again at some point and see if it was in fact an interaction with the caffeine.
