Mandy Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Meditation Exercise Eating clean, staying hydrated Asking yourself what you want and writing it down Journaling Going for walks Spending time in nature Taking respites from environments where you are taking in a lot of different opinions, information and attempting to assimilate Being willing to let go of beliefs and thoughts that don't resonate Confusion is the assertion that it is KNOWN that one does not know, which is a nonesensical impossibility. A lot of advice or knowledge is a reaction to something. Keto diet popularity follows years of low fat diets being popular. Clarity is not getting caught in that back and forth swing, but honing into intuition, not striving for the objective best but instead creating wellbeing by putting feeling first.

Phil Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 1 hour ago, Someone here said: Clarity is just a thought ? Then what's the whole point behind this website? Isn't it Clarity? Clarity is appearing as thoughts. Like water appearing as steam. Website too. 1 hour ago, Someone here said: Via meditation right? Yep. 1 hour ago, Someone here said: I will start a daily meditation practice and a journal about it soon here as @Mandy suggested. Any other suggestions? Happiness. Diet & exercise and a dreamboard. If an emotion lower than contentment is experienced, don’t try to go from that emotion to happiness. Use the scale and go one emotion at a time. Keep it simple.

Blessed2 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Yeah. Clarity is what's appearing as confusion. Like both knowing and not knowing appear in awareness. Decide to be confused, and see what happens. Quote Mention There must be an effortless way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blessed2 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 14 minutes ago, Someone here said: What does this mean? Clarity is appearing as confusion, just like awareness is appearing as both knowing and not knowing. You have experienced both knowing something and not knowing something.

Yes with the example of awareness being aware of knowing and not knowing it is valid ..but it doesn't follow to say analogously that clarity appears as confusing. These two are opposites. Unless you are speaking about an absolute Clarity or some bs like that . Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These two are opposites. Unless you are speaking about an absolute Clarity or some bs like that . Clarity as the opposite of confusion is a thought. In this way it's like how Phil said, thought claims it as an object a separate self could have more or less. Clarity is what's being aware of those thoughts. Clarity is literally aware of the thoughts you're experiencing about clarity and confusion right now. It's the screen on which the movie plays. 4 hours ago, Someone here said: there are literally thousands of different religious sects ..philosophical schools ..opinions ..teachers..spiritual traditions..books to read which claim to offer guidance etc Books, teachers etc. come second.

Joseph Maynor Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 (edited) Probably not going to be a popular answer but there's a little bit of confusion in clarity and a little bit of clarity in confusion. You can be aware of yourself confused with clarity. You can be aware of yourself with clarity and be confused. The bottom line is all of it is ok to be here and from a position of awareness you can observe all of it and still be here. Find that which doesn't give a shite whether clarity or confusion exists and is still ok to be here. Notice these paradoxes too in Spirituality, the more clarity you seek the more confused you become, and the more you're ok with confusion the more clarity you have. Awareness is there whether clarity or confusion are states of mind or not. Edited February 19 by Joseph Maynor Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything that includes thought is confusion. However, empty mind is clarity in life. Completely empty, therefore completely surrendering.

Jonas Long Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Probably not going to.be a popular post. I got a little bit of shit in my cheerios, and a little bit of cheerios in my shit.

Blessed2 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 There's also a little bit of duality in non-duality. Wobble between duality vs. non-duality duality. The neo-advaitans don't understand this.
