Orb Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 It's just relaxation, being cool, calm, collected. This is the key and I'm seeing it play out in my own experience. Whatever you do to be more calm and relaxed throughout the day, I'd recommend going deeper into that. Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone. Mind is clear of limitation. I seek no state of enlightenment. Neither do I remain where no enlightenment exists. Since I linger in neither condition, eyes cannot see me. If hundreds of birds strew my path with flowers, such praise would be meaningless." - A Comment on the 8th Ox Herding Picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Maynor Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 (edited) It's so paradoxical: The key to Success is realizing the success movie (which is a fantasy within the movie itself) doesn't have you in it. It's you trying to obtain success that causes all the trouble. That's like yelling at the movie screen trying to control the plot of a movie. The movie doesn't need you. It does it all on its own. There's no controller, no doer. Sit back and Watch in Bliss and don't forget to bring plenty of popcorn.

Reena Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 @Orb I've always lived in survival mode, that's how my life has been. Calming down feels like I'm losing something or that I'm not being alert enough to scan for the next danger. Quote Mention So basically I'm an autistic INFJ BPD sigma Pisces female with anger and CPTSD issues. Wow wow. My plate looks full. I Couldn't have been weirder than that. Now I get why I'm so idiosyncratic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then things will settle down more and more. Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone. Mind is clear of limitation. I seek no state of enlightenment. Neither do I remain where no enlightenment exists.

Phil Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 @Reena Could you share what metaphysical and spiritual sense are? I’m not being facetious, I don’t know what the connotations are so I don’t know what you mean. Quote Mention YouTube Website Sessions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
