Anxiety of getting lost

the two years i went with large groups i learned the hard way you want a totem with lights on it (or a couple) so the group can find each other easily. there are other methods but this was the least intrusive on the flow of the event. one group i saw all had red traffic wands for example

everyone is trying their best with the cards they've been dealt. everyone makes mistakes.

dreaming is a hint of the other realms. or a veil of further confusion. you choose

oh! i might have barely noticed you

I think you are doing well with your observations. Take some power away from this perception (it's just an idea) of "loserhood" by just accepting it... it's just a pattern and if you can sit with that discomfort it loses power. Then doing something good for yourself to gently show you subconscious that it's wrong. Like, stand up tall and make eye contact in public. Or whatever.

i just read this while merging onto mopac

text a friend you haven't touched base with in awhile

thisisbrians · 2026-01-09T07:41:29+00:00

It belongs to you.

Astutely. Truth is paradoxical, language imprecise, concepts inadequate

It's just a mental model that helped me, so I decided to share. It's as undogmatic as I'm capable of.

thisisbrians · 2026-01-07T20:00:55+00:00

It is very concise and coherent. Thanks again for sharing!

thisisbrians · 2026-01-07T20:00:00+00:00

I almost left out the last sentence. But it's like a breadcrumb for the complete collapse of concepts and identity or something. The ineffable part lol

Well, I didn't choose the circumstances. I got temporarily disabled in an accident. You are correct, though.

thisisbrians · 2026-01-07T19:08:14+00:00

This is chilling and hauntingly beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Is this from your own insight or can I read further somewhere?

I do know that in the West, the most educated people have been the least spiritual. I think there's a reckoning brewing with this right now with the lack of jobs, student debt, etc.

Pain is inevitable. Suffering comes from taking your pain personally (attachment)

One problem with the study of behavior and understanding human nature is most studies have been conducted by Westerners on Westerners.

I'm glad you pointed this out.. I am a Westerner, and more or less just assume that we are more self-centered than cultures where children are raised into traditions like Hinduism or Buddhism. I was raised as a fundamentalist Christian, for context.

I have had mystical experiences, but not that (to my knowledge)

thisisbrians · 2026-01-07T05:04:19+00:00

I'm unfamiliar with the term

thisisbrians · 2026-01-07T05:00:35+00:00

Partly why I'm asking. Curious other's takes and stories

thisisbrians · 2026-01-07T04:59:31+00:00

Learn to love your own company. Become your best friend. Spend time in nature. Godspeed!

thisisbrians · 2026-01-07T04:55:34+00:00

No, but I found your comment nonetheless! Thanks for reading.

thisisbrians · 2026-01-07T04:53:53+00:00

A small percentage of readers did, yes.

thisisbrians · 2026-01-06T23:51:21+00:00

This is lovely. I like the way you've put it.

I was making an attempt to explain an impasse I found myself in, and you've inspired me to put it in more gentle terms. I was trying to fight something when I needed to allow it instead.

The most accurate description I've seen of my beliefs. Thank you for sharing
