  1. It's the selfing that points to/implies that there is a sense of self. The identification as a self comes after the selfing.
  2. @Blessed2 "We see the activity of what we're not, from what we are." ~Paul Hedderman
  3. Yes, they are free. I've been listening to him for years. I never did a zoom, but I know he takes donations only, if one wants to donate to him, as it's not required.
  4. Just remember while meditating that you aren't the meditator. πŸ˜‰ It's the one that's meditating that thinks it will get something from it, then judge that something as good or bad. Just notice this...
  5. That's one part of the mind judging the other part of the mind, good thing you're neither. You're the seeing of the thoughts, but taking yourself to be the policeman when you feel bad and judge the action figures behavior. It's a losing battle, because it's 2 aspects of the same mind at war. Make a change or don't, but stay the observing, don't become the observed. If that makes sense.
  6. It's actually true the way its seen here also. You don't need Jim Newman telling you anything.
  7. @Orb Sometimes you need to be willing to do what scares you to get better.
  8. @Orb Suicidal ideation can be the fever for depression signaling you need help, now. I'd heed the warning. πŸ’™ I tried, but too late and from the wrong doctor (pcp) when I needed psychiatric help. I had one last stressor and got pushed over the edge. Seek help now and stop thinking you can do this yourself. That's my advice.
  9. @Orb Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. * From a suicide attempt survivor 09'
  10. Yes, prayer can be good for the mind. Faith has a very destructive mental process, it is cunning and can torture me/her, but what calms it down to barely anything is knowing Im not that. I'm not the thinker. I'm awareness of thinking. There is no thinker. Negate the "I" that's currently making you miserable and see it for what it is. When you negate Orb what's left. That's the real you.
  11. That's probably because it was the mind that had the insight after the epiphany or whatever and anything the mind holds will come and go. The mental process claims any insights it can and proclaims "it" had an insight. When this happens the true insight is lost and mind takes over.
  12. If you mean you hate all the business classes and you are in a business degree that does seem like a problem. If you are just having trouble with some individual classes, then that's different. You can hate individual classes and get through it to the main goal, but if the main goal no longer makes sense then you have some soul searching to do. I certainly don't know what's best for you. You'll have to feel your way through this one. I had to take 2 chemistry classes for my degree, so I took double, excelerated chemistry during a summer to get it over with. The class was beyond hard and I cried a lot (17 yrs ago now) about it. I had to do tutoring after every class. I hated it, but to reach my goal it was necessary and all the tutoring paid off.
  13. I've done a ton of studying in my years and it's not the studying (or any action) that can make you miserable, but your thoughts "about" the studying that can. If you believe that studying is hard and terrible, then this is your starting point when studying and it probably gets worse from there. Which will lead you to feel bad while studying and cause more thoughts that you hate it. See the problem? It is possible to see this and decide to go into feeling/thinking neutral about it and just sit down and study. Loving it may never happen, but accepting it as necessary can, therefore ending the misery surrounding it.
