Thank you for sharing your knowledge on this subject. 1) Though doing this for a bit time, it may result in a rise of desire to control and invincibility and thus lead to ego boost, ever encountered this ? How to maintain balance ? And can we help/support people using such tool? 2) Also, this makes me question, that when you shift reality, it means you are leaving a reality to another one, then what happens to your body in the other reality? Some described this as your body will be left on autopilot mode as your awareness shifts into different reality. Because it is perceived that you jump realities rather than you change what is. More like many possibilities are running together and you just jump from one to another. And then opens up the question to what happens to the people you know...

Hi! , Lately been feeling that goals, targets makes me feel tied, and more stressed and affects all my decisions and life just to reach those goals. Once I achieve those goals or so, I feel free, relaxed and boost in my life, it feels like freedom from a specific direction. Can we just live for the sake of living and without any objective, target and direction in life and is it possible? I feel it is difficult for me, since having a target or a direction provide a sense of safety since you know where you are going and maybe have something to strive for? though i know these stuff aren't much healthy to have. The question is where would I end up if I have no goals, targets or direction in life ?

Still people think i m crazy or not thinking right to not have something to live for or something to chase in life. Not love, not personal goals or anything... Can't we just live just for the sake of living or existing ? is there always has to be a reason or a cause?
-
the why and the how questions remain.... Why it might be due escapism or fun. The how... still not very clear how people shift and jump dimensions
-
interesting, but who believes in dimension jumping or shifting, they believe that all choices are running simultaneously, an infinite combination of possibilities are running at the same time, and all you will be doing is moving across them. I guess they also assume that awareness is what shifts, you become awake in the new possibilities that you shift to.

yes basically not a personal goal
-
it is not a desire or a need or want for him. it wouldn't make him more happier or less happier. it is not a goal, it is a compassion toward all sentient beings to be like him.
-
I m not sure it is possible to have a goal and just not worry about achieving it or not, because you should work yourself out in order to achieve a goal... setting a goal it expresses a need, a want, a desire... which means something you wish to achieve, and thus not achieving it means you were not able to satisfy this need or desire and so it means a dissatisfaction. Also, since it is a need or desire you wish to achieve, it is hard not to worry in your journey regarding whether u will achieve it or not. and it is will consume part of your energy and thoughts.

Hello, As I have been practicing and working on attachments and identity. I have reached a state where i have dis-identified myself with my inner self, thoughts, past and such inner stories of me. but now i m stuck with deriving a sense of self and identity from other people, as how people perceive me. I used to be more of an introverted person, but now i m more of an extroverted person, as the need to have an identity is itching and needed from outside Because i need a kind of purpose or a reason to move and live life. I m not taking the choice to release the identity yet, because in process of doing that, i started being sad, and feeling purposeless. Less motivate to live and no passion to life. I have nothing to live for or something to exist for which makes me feel useless and why i exist? Any help or suggestion is appreciated.

Thank you ! when i get ready to start new teaching, i ll tell you , I just don't want to keep running from a teaching to another. I need to stick to one, and fix things accordingly. I ll try this, and see how it goes. Thank you !
-
hmm well i ll try to be careful, i don't have much knowledge in other type of meditation. yes i try to keep focus on breath and move through the body and scanning from top down and bottom up, if a thought arises i try to go back to the breath, and so on.

I have attended 10 days retreat vipassana, and 10 days from 4 am till 9 pm all day vipassana and such not something new to me, that is why i m still practicing it, didn't know it causes such troubles.
-
being in the now and meditating, causes the top of the head and throat to tighten a lot and i guess it is the throat and neck that tightens and causes all the pressure on face and head.
-
Thank you for your amazing post!! And yes, Pilgrim is right, i m doing fine now. it is phases that happens once in a while, of those questions that are hard to answer, and these questions' answers are experiences and cannot be answered through words or logic. I m back and practicing mindfulness and more of vipassana and such. I m having a tightness on throat and top of the head that is frequent lately, but will continue on practicing. My questions in my main post were more of life contemplation and it may sound suicidal, but it is of self questioning and such. Thank you people for caring <3

Thank you for your very helpful post !!

So, I guess so far, it is a kind of development in spirituality but seeking harmony in that development, so i m in a phase and gotta be patient, more in the now and practice mindfulness in order to reach a more stable state of mind.
-
No, i always try not to, when i help them i ll be like talking to myself and it feels like i m helping my own self. Actually when i help people, i reach a mind state of peace and stillness and speak out of it. Words start to come out from awareness without prior thinking, so it feels nice.
-
Thank you, and yes i m trying, but some of the info if i share it would cause me troubles, since i live in a a very traditional environment and i m the therapist of most of the "physical people" around me, I support older and younger people and listen and help them with their life issues. I m trying to say they are not wise, and might judge me badly for some aspects/stuff about me and also about my beliefs. I asked here because I expect to find people who would understand spirituality/energy and depth of such subject on someone who meditate or practice energy and have such similar beliefs. and i know there are some wise people here

can you explain more ?

Oh don't worry i m enjoying the discussion. Thank you. at first, the loss of attachment feels good, and empowering. but later on with time, it feels like what is next? I have been living for something and chasing it everyday and some i was basing my life on them. but then now what should i do in this universe? I used to obtain my happiness from these "objects" or "people" they were source of joy, motivation and such for my life. After all these stuff have stopped being my source of happiness or joy, then where/what is the source of happiness ? Or shall i live an indifferent/neutral life, not happy not sad ? my sleep is fine, and my eating is good.
-
Why considering it a depression. I mean it is that i m not having an answer regarding a purpose or motivation in life. I do many things and some are fun and such but not necessarily to be something to live for or coming from desire. I have chased back every desire i had and some that still arises, and they all come out of deep rooted problems and worked on some, and working on the others. But the more i try to solve those issues, the more i become desireless and the less desires u have, the less you are motivated.

Hello, i was wondering what came first, a belief or an experience. some people say that we experience first and according to what we experience we form a belief. and other people say, that the belief creates our reality and thus our experience. Some may argue as kids we experience and then we start building beliefs according to what we feel. but other do argue that we come to the world with beliefs, that can be considered Karma inherited from our past life. What do you think, what came first? Can we experience something that we have opposite belief of ? What are the determinants of our reality ? what determines what we experience or situations that arises in our reality?
-
but our experience is based upon our perspective. because the same thing can be experienced differently by different people. so what determines how we experience the situation or stuff ? isn't it beliefs ?
-
inherited as beliefs in the new life. can you elaborate more ? can't we inherit a collective belief about something or a perspective from society or parents without having an experience about it ?

Hey, i was wondering if other people went through similar experience especially those who practice vipassana, scan the body and such. Sometimes i feel a deeply annoying sensation on 3rd eye, heart and stomach, that arises and feels like deep thing, not pain but makes feel like wanting to hit that part of the body or thought of trying to push something in just feel to exist or whatever. And sometimes almost makes me go crazy when it happens at different parts simultaneously. Any idea what is that related, energy or what ? Thanks
