I don't think there can be an answer to the "why" question, but you can't just be an object because objects are inert and depend upon awareness for there existence. Fear of being alone comes from the "apparent" person, not what you are, awareness.

My weight is down 21 pounds now and I have 12 to go for goal weight. I had another lipid panel done and my cholesterol is now 179. It was 302, so that is a significant drop. The diet, weight loss and medication is certainly doing the trick!
I took yesterday off work for a mental health day. Started off with a 60 min massage, then out to lunch, then 2 nature walks. It certainly did the trick. It shut down the blah-blah thoughts.

@Mandy No worries. Half the time I don't know what you're talking about and this is just another example.

Just have to be dumb enough to actually practice it now and only now.
What do you mean by this? Dumb enough to practice it. Do you even know what it is?

I was just listening to Sarvapriyanananda today. His audios on the Drg Drsha Viveka.
I think traditional Advaita Vedanta can help seekers even after they've had an awakening if nothing else it helps put the experience in words well. Also after an experience usually comes putting it into a some conceptual framework.
That's what I did. I started with E. Tolle, Adya and Mooji, then learned A. Vedanta from James Swartz stuff, it really fills in the gaps in the teachings.

Vibration, One song (Om).
In listening to This
I dont know if you're being literal, but I literally hear a high pitched musical type vibration noise. Not always, but often when mindful/peaceful. It goes up and down in volume. If I'm having troubles or over thinking it disappears completely. I've had it on/off for years and no, it's not tinnitus.

fine
Ok, you agreed, so no more bullshit. I'm going to ban this account until I make the change.

@ohmygawditsfuckinglesterLester, I will give you back your account with 16 points on it, BUT if you blow it. Then you don't come back...no more accounts, agree?

@Mandyaint nobody gonna live long on an island with 20 dorittos...they'd probably be better off with none
So then getting your 4 points doesn't actually interest you and your just crying about it to make a fuss and be dramatic. Got it.
-
You want your precious 4 points?? Do you think you can survive here on only 4 points? You will be held to high standards. You sure you want it?

what of it? they were my points.
Lololol. A moderator can dish out more points, obviously. As you saw. Your behavior wasn't going to and hasn't changed, AT ALL.

mostly, because i HATE being told i can't do something/be somewhere. @Faithyeah, whatever, and then you gave me all the rest at once because YOU deemed what i was doing as "trolling". again, others did not. you (maybe?) abused your power over something personal.
It was discussed...your being banned "when you did" and I had the forum owners approval. You just keep proving me right over and over again. Thank you.
-
Lester, you were warned "16" times for forum guideline offenses prior to your banning....16 times. It was not 1 offense, in 1 thread. Gimme a break!

This is just unfortunate. How many times have you been banned from this community?Add one more time to whatever it is ...

Today has given me a stress headache 😩 4 hours worth of meetings at work today, then wondering if I said everything perfect in each meeting so I don't look like an ass?!? Oh well, it's just a job.
But, then while eating dinner our deer 🦌 friends came to get a snack which cheered me up.

Letting go of "I, me, mine": Gary Weber
in The Path
Posted
Gary Weber has had no self-referencial thoughts for over 15 years. Those are the thoughts that are all about "I, me, mine" and filled with past/future thinking.
Essentially the thoughts that can drive you crazy, depressed or anxious. This is an interview of Gary, but youtube as many other videos of him also. He considers his teacher to be the writings of Ramana Maharshi.
