COULD LETTING GO OF OVER-AWARENESS UNLOCK YOUR DREAMS?

I suggest reading this…

Being overly aware or acutely aware of something means constantly paying attention to and analyzing every little detail about a specific area of life. This often leads to stress, anxiety, and difficulty relaxing. It involves being hyper-vigilant about your actions, surroundings, and even what others think of you, which can make it hard to enjoy the moment and focus on what's really important.

For many, this means being acutely aware of other people's success, physical attraction, your own thoughts and feelings, the feelings of others, your own suffering and that of others, your understanding, finances, relationships, the intentions of others, and so on. This can be a heavy burden for those who experience it regularly.

RECOGNIZING THIS MAY BE THE WAY OUT…

Robert A. Monroe was a pioneering researcher and author in the field of human consciousness. He founded the Monroe Institute, dedicated to exploring and expanding human awareness through various techniques and studies. After using his material to expand my own understanding of consciousness, life, universal laws, etc., I've figured something out that I think is worth sharing.

Monroe suggested that being acutely aware of something would suggest an automatic perception of its opposite, thus thinking it into existence. Let me clear things up… For example, if you are aware of the success of others (external), you might automatically think yourself as a failure (internal). This belief shapes your reality, making you see others succeed and achieve their dreams while you feel left behind. Your perception confirms your belief: you think it, so it shall be.

I needed to explore this further to understand why I experience things the way I do. I decided to test other examples in my life to validate this method for myself. Maybe these things apply to you too… Here’s what I found:

If I am acutely aware of pain within me, I perceive pleasure around me. I think people are having fun, not in pain, enjoying themselves, and getting their desires. Because I think it, it will confirm that in my external environment. Conversely, if I’m acutely aware of pain in my external environment (people suffering, getting hurt), I automatically think I am not in pain, which is correct. I think it, so it comes to reality.
If I am acutely aware of another person's intentions, inversely I think I have no intention. Which is correct. I wait for others to show their intentions first, then respond based on my perception of their behavior. If they are nice to me first, I will be nice to them second.
If I am acutely aware of the absence of food in my stomach, I inversely think there is food everywhere. I think it, so it comes into my life. When I am fasting, I become extremely aware of not having food, so all I see around me is food.
I could list many examples, but I think you get the idea.

Here is a possible way to remove this burden:

Be able to recognize the differences between thinking about something and being aware of something. Know when you are doing one or the other.
Recognize what your attention is focused on: is it the suffering of others, the behavior of others, relationships, an individual, your own thoughts, the thoughts of others, the intention of others, how others perceive you, your own emotions, the emotions of others, future events, past events, physical appearance, etc.?
Recognize the opposing forces. If you’re aware of something internal (thoughts, feelings, physical appearance, desires, beliefs, etc.), you are inversely thinking about the external, and vice versa.
Test this theory on small concepts. For example, if you are aware of not having food in your stomach, you might think food is everywhere. The more you test the theory and it works, the more value it will hold in your mind, and you will believe it further.
Once you’ve established how to recognize your individual burden, you’ll be able to shift your focus so the world can interact with you how you actually prefer.
You input is always welcomed

HOW TO MEDITATE (2024 UPDATED)

I’ll get straight to the point. I've tried many ways to meditate, and this new approach is the one that finally clicked for me. Out of all the methods, this one works the best.

If you are aiming to

reduce stress
improve self awareness
improve focus and concentration
better emotional well being
Try this….

Getting Started:Find a quiet and comfortable place to sit. Close your eyes if you're comfortable doing so. As you progress through each layer, you will become calmer, and more relaxed. The longer you can hold your attention in the deeper layers, the more effective the meditation.

Outer Layer - Awareness of Surroundings (Vehicles Passing):Begin by focusing on your external environment. Notice any sounds, sensations, or nature around you, as if you're watching passing vehicles. Stay as long as you need until you are ready to proceed further inwards.

Next Layer - Body Awareness (Physical Layout of Vehicles):Shift your attention inward to your body. Pay attention to sensations like your breath, the feeling of sitting, or any bodily sensations. Think of it as observing the physical layout of the 'vehicles.'

Deeper Layer - Mind Observation (Thoughts as Passing Vehicles):Dive deeper into your experience by observing your thoughts and emotions. Imagine the vehicles that are passing by represent your emotions and thoughts - they are just passing through, they are not your thoughts or emotions, it is general traffic.

Deeper Still - Watching the Watcher (Observer Beyond the Road):Take a step back in your mind and observe the one who is observing—the "watcher." Recognize that you are not your thoughts; you are the one witnessing them, much like you sitting on a park bench watching the vehicle go by, a place beyond the road.

Innermost Layer - Formless Awareness (Beyond the Layers):Continue going deeper within. This is where your attention may be tested. As you observe the watcher, aim for a state of formless awareness. This is a place beyond thoughts, where you just "be," similar to being in a space beyond all the layers. Imagine you are watching the person sitting on the park bench whos watching the vehicles go by.
Stay Present and Acknowledge (Mindful Observation):If distractions arise, gently bring your focus back to the formless awareness. Acknowledge each layer but remember that you are not any single layer; you are the observer.

Practice Regularly:Make meditation a consistent practice. Start with shorter sessions and gradually extend the time as you become more comfortable with the process. You can even use this technique through the day whilst at work, with eyes open. Just change your focus internally.

Reflect on the Experience (Post-Session Reflection):After each session, reflect on how you feel. Notice any subtle shifts in your awareness or sense of well-being, similar to reflecting on the traffic and its impact.

Be Patient (Journey of Exploration):Meditation is a skill that develops over time. Be patient with yourself, enjoy the journey, and appreciate the peace that comes with exploring your inner self, much like a peaceful journey beyond the road's traffic.
One thing I must emphasise is to be patient with yourself. If you get distracted, just get back to focusing on what you were focusing on . The whole point is to reduce the amount of time you get distracted to a point where you can easily enter a state of complete awareness. Nothingness. This is where all the magic happens. You are not resisting against negative thoughts or attaching to positive thoughts. It is simply a thought or emotion running through you. You are allowing things to naturally flow.

Congrats

How do we control our thoughts?

Here's a no-nonsense approach to tackling those mental messages and reshaping how you respond to them. Think of it as managing your inbox—simple and effective.

Changing the Response, Not Controlling Thoughts:

Instead of wrestling with your thoughts, change how you react when you notice them. This personal approach has worked for me, and I'm sharing it not as a solution but as a guide. Don't follow blindly; lead yourself to your solution. It's like crafting your unique way of speaking—keep what resonates, discard what doesn't.

The Gmail Inbox Analogy:

Many believe we create our thoughts, but it's more like receiving signals on a radio tuned into a frequency. The catch? We try tuning into everything simultaneously, causing mental static. People often numb or distract themselves, but I chose to face it head-on.

Silencing the Chatter:

Here's how I silenced the mental chatter, focusing on what matters and improving my response to unhelpful thoughts:

1. Mind as a Gmail Inbox:

Subscription Analogy: Imagine your mind as a Gmail inbox constantly receiving thoughts—some useful, others less so. These thoughts represent the beliefs you've subscribed to over the years, often ingrained during your upbringing.
Non-Judgmental View: Instead of harshly judging these thoughts, adopt a neutral stance. Recognize that you didn't choose these beliefs; they were part of your mental inbox's subscription package as you grew up.
Empowered Choice: The pivotal shift lies in acknowledging that, while you couldn't choose your initial subscriptions, you do have control over which thoughts to explore further. This conscious choice transforms how you engage with your thoughts.
2. Get Clear:

Internal Focus: Amidst the chaos of external stimuli, redirect your attention inward. Pay close attention to recurring thought patterns, anxieties, and worries. This internal awareness is akin to conducting an audit, sorting through the mental clutter.
Journaling: Documenting your thoughts provides a tangible record. It's like creating a manual for understanding your mental inbox. Frequent reflection allows you to discern which thoughts dominate your mental space.
3. Devise a Plan:

Self-Definition: Consider who you want to be and what attributes you value. Write down the characteristics, traits, and qualities you wish to emphasize. This process is comparable to subscribing to new and empowering beliefs, shaping the narrative of your mental inbox.
Conscious Choice: By deliberately defining your ideal self, you're making a conscious choice about the subscriptions you want to add to your mental inbox. This proactive approach empowers you to lead your narrative rather than being a passive recipient.
4. Unsubscribe from Old Beliefs:

Identifying Patterns: Recognize recurring patterns in your thoughts. Emotional triggers, moments of anger, sadness, or joy can serve as signposts. These patterns often point to deeply ingrained beliefs that influence your reactions.
Self-Reflection: Engage in self-reflection to dig deeper into the origins of these beliefs. Ask yourself why you hold a particular belief and challenge it. This process is akin to locating and identifying outdated subscriptions in your mental inbox.
5. Contradicting Beliefs:

Questioning Assumptions: Challenge assumptions tied to old beliefs. If a belief triggers a negative emotion, ask yourself why you define it as bad. Probe into the underlying assumptions and question their validity.
Research and Exploration: Actively seek information that contradicts these assumptions. This is like exploring alternative subscriptions to counterbalance the outdated ones. As you accumulate contradictory evidence, the old beliefs lose their grip.
Conclusion:

Response Control: The overarching theme is about controlling your response to thoughts rather than attempting to control the thoughts themselves. This approach allows for a more flexible and empowering mindset.
Personalized Plan: Craft a plan that aligns with your unique preferences and needs. There's no one-size-fits-all solution, and the journey involves practice and self-care.
Embracing Change: Recognize that transforming your mental space isn't about suppressing thoughts but about leading yourself to a healthier and more positive mindset. Embrace the ongoing process of change and growth.

When searching for answers, is it better to ASK WHY? OR ASK HOW?

This is a multifaceted question and a very interesting one because there is no single correct answer. There are simply different approaches all with the potential of revealing the answer you seek.

First let’s establish the why and the how.

Why (Purpose) The "why" aspect often delves into the deeper meaning or purpose behind actions, beliefs, or existence. It seeks to understand the motivations, intentions, and underlying significance. It's a quest for the fundamental reasons that drive our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

How (Mechanism) On the opposite end, the "how" focuses on the practical, procedural, or mechanistic aspects of things. It looks at the processes, methods, and steps involved in achieving a particular outcome. It's concerned with the nuts and bolts, the functional aspects of a system or phenomenon.

Many of us think reality is linear and straight forward. Where we believe there is a cause to the effect. E.g How do you overcome fears?. By understanding the cause we believe that we can understand the effect( e.g fear). But reality is far from linear. A cause can lead to an effect, but the effect can also lead to the cause.

There are multiple perspectives to approach questions.

Perspective 1 -Today I personally prefer to understand the WHY to figure out the HOW. My beliefs are influencing my thoughts/emotion, which influence my behaviour/action. So my internal world is influencing my external reality.

Perspective 2 - Today I personally prefer to figure out how to face my fear, so it can influence how I can see the problem differently, thus altering my beliefs. So my external world is influencing my internal reality.

It’s like asking which came first, the internal world or the external? The cause or the effect. The chicken or the egg? The question or the answer?.

Either one will work, but the variables that come into play are endless, and sometimes a different question might actually reveal the answer you seek , or acting now thinking later might be the best approach.

Let’s use the example of How do you overcome fear?

The reality of the question is simple, you want the truth for this problem you are facing. But your individual circumstances are unique, your beliefs are different, you have a unique perspective on certain concepts, different values, how you identify yourself, how you view the world , what environment you grew up in, if you faced hardship early in life, if you lost a loved one etc. Here are some potential approaches that could that could lead you to solve your problem.

Face the problem head on, have no expectation and see what will happen.
Understand why you want to overcome it? do you want to avoid it, yes/no Why? Why not?
How do you define fear? is it bad or good? Many people see it as good, why do you see it as bad? Do you think bad is simply bad? or do bad things sometimes lead to good outcomes?
Find new contradicting information that invalidates your current belief on that specific fear, once you identify that new contradiction, your current belief system won’t make sense anymore. Once it doesn’t make sense you can’t come to a logical conclusion as to why you are afraid of it.
Introspect, journal and reflect. Are your beliefs actually yours, or were they learnt? If they were learnt, can you learn new information that invalidates the current belief?
So it’s never really as straight forward as most of us think, today you might think the HOW is better, tomorrow you will think the WHY is better. Think now act later, or act now think later. Which is correct? Neither and both.

Some believe that finding the root cause to the problem is the answer to everything, but that again is a one sided approach. Maybe the reason you can’t find the answer is because the cause is something you shouldn’t be seeking, you should be focusing on effecting(action) to reveal the cause.

Some believe that the external world is the cause to their fear, or its another persons fault, its the circumstance that they grew up in, its the environment that lead to the belief etc. While others believe that their internal thoughts are causing them to behave a particular way.

So if its not one it must be the other right?

Well , not exactly, what if we find a middle point, what would the middle point be? Well it would probably be “Meaning”

Meaning serves as a bridge between the why and how. It encompasses the significance and purpose behind actions while also considering the practical implications and mechanisms involved. "Meaning" brings depth to the practical aspects of "how" and provides context to the motivations explored in the "why."Meaning helps contextualize actions or events by connecting them to a broader purpose. Understanding the meaning behind something can shed light on its relevance and importance.

It integrates the emotional and cognitive aspects of an experience or decision. Meaning involves not only understanding the purpose but also connecting that purpose to the practical steps needed to achieve it.

In essence, "meaning" encapsulates the essence of both "why" and "how," providing a holistic perspective that integrates purpose with practicality. It acts as a midpoint that harmonizes the deeper motivations behind our actions with the tangible steps and processes involved in achieving our goals. This balanced approach acknowledges the interconnectedness of intention and ex*****on, providing a more comprehensive understanding of our experiences and endeavours.

People on Quora will show you the door ( answer), however you are the only one that can walk through it.(understand it).

So, you want the simple answer? Which is better? There is none, or is there? Will the question raise more questions? Maybe, maybe not, who knows, you know, I know , no one knows……. Life

ANGER IS FEAR AT ITS CORE, WHY?

As we navigate the intricate landscape of human emotions, it becomes evident that anger, a potent and intense emotion, often conceals profound layers of fear. Each surge of anger carries with it an unspoken narrative of anxieties and apprehensions rooted in our primal instincts and deeply embedded in our psyche. This intricate relationship prompts us to be more attuned to our emotional responses, fostering a heightened sense of self-awareness.

To understand this intricate relationship, we must delve into the complex landscape of human emotions, exploring the fear that simmers beneath the surface and fuels the flames of anger. Anger, at its core, is a primal emotion, and recognizing its connection to fear unveils the intricate dance between these two powerful forces.

At the heart of anger lies the fear of identity being threatened. Our beliefs and values are intricately woven into the fabric of who we are. When opposing beliefs challenge our convictions, it can feel like an attack on our very identity. The fear of being invalidated or undermined can trigger a defensive response, manifesting as anger. This fear is a natural extension of our need for validation and a sense of belonging within our social and cultural frameworks.

Another layer of fear that influences anger is the primal fear of death. When confronted with situations or beliefs that challenge our understanding of life and mortality, a surge of fear can manifest as anger. The confrontation with mortality, whether through a direct threat or an ideological clash, triggers a defensive response. Anger becomes a shield against the existential anxiety that the fear of death provokes.

The fear of the unknown, deeply ingrained in our collective psyche, is another thread woven into the fabric of anger. Uncertainty about the future, unfamiliar situations, or ambiguous outcomes can trigger anxiety, which, when left unaddressed, can morph into anger. The human mind, wired to seek predictability and control, often responds to the unknown with apprehension. In the face of uncertainty, anger may emerge as a defense mechanism, attempting to restore a semblance of control over the uncontrollable.

Control, a powerful motivator for human behavior, is intimately connected to the fear of losing control. When circumstances or individuals defy our expectations or resist our influence, a fear response can manifest as anger. Anger, in this context, becomes an attempt to regain a sense of control, an instinctive reaction to restore order in a world that seems to be slipping beyond our grasp.

Understanding this complex interplay of anger and fear invites us to be more aware of our emotional landscape. The next time anger courses through your veins, consider it a signal—an invitation to delve beneath the surface. It's a call to explore the uncharted territories of your fears, the shadows that dance in the background of your consciousness. Be aware that anger, with its fiery presence, is often the messenger of an underlying fear that seeks acknowledgment.

Emotional literacy is the key to navigating this complex interplay. It involves deciphering the language of our emotions, acknowledging the nuances of our fears, and unraveling the stories woven into the fabric of our anger. Embrace the language of your emotions, and you'll find a pathway to self-discovery.

Awareness transforms anger from a chaotic force to a catalyst for personal growth. By understanding the fears that underlie our anger, we gain the power to address and navigate them constructively. It's a transformative journey, an invitation to confront the shadows within and emerge with newfound resilience and emotional intelligence.

The dance between fear and anger is intricate, but awareness allows us to lead this dance with intention. It enables us to respond consciously rather than react impulsively. As you become more aware of the fears lingering behind your anger, you gain the ability to navigate this intricate dance with grace and understanding.

Approach your own emotions with compassion. Just as you would extend understanding to a friend in distress, offer the same kindness to yourself. The acknowledgment of fear within anger is not a condemnation but an opportunity for growth. It is a gentle reminder that, like all human beings, you are navigating the complex landscape of emotions.

These stories from Africa and beyond paint a different picture, one where women are rewriting the rules. It's a reminder that Africa isn't a single story but a tapestry of diverse cultures challenging stereotypes. In these places, women aren't just playing by the rules; they're rewriting them, proving that the real story is far more complex and colorful than we might think.

So, be aware next time anger knocks on your emotional door, for it is not merely anger—it is an invitation to explore the uncharted territories of your fears and, in doing so, to embrace the transformative potential of your own emotional landscape.

Is there a Universal Morality?

The concept of a universal morality sparks conversations that delve deep into the heart of ethics, philosophy, and the way we understand what is right and wrong. It's a bit like asking if there's a rulebook for being a good person that everyone in the world can agree on.

Let's start by looking at two big ideas that philosophers and thinkers have been tossing around: moral relativism and moral absolutism.

Moral Relativism: Picture moral relativism as the idea that what's considered right or wrong isn't set in stone. It's more like a variable, changing from place to place and person to person. In one corner of the world, something might be seen as totally fine, but in another, it could be a big no-no. So, according to this view, there isn't one universal set of rules for morality – it's a bit like a buffet, with different options depending on where you are.

Moral Absolutism: Now, moral absolutism is the other side of the coin. This idea suggests that there are some moral rules that are true for everyone, everywhere, all the time. It's like saying there's a universal checklist for what's right and wrong, and it doesn't matter where you are or who you ask – the rules stay the same.

When it comes to figuring out if there's a universal morality, we've got to consider the wide range of beliefs and practices across cultures and throughout history. Different societies have had different ideas about what's morally okay and what's not. For example, what might have been totally cool in ancient times could be totally unacceptable today, and vice versa.

But here's where things get interesting – even with all these differences, there are some values that seem to pop up in many cultures. Things like honesty, kindness, and fairness are often seen as good traits, no matter where you are. It's like there's a bit of a moral common ground that many people around the world share.

Now, let's throw another twist into the mix – the idea of moral evolution. Some researchers suggest that certain moral tendencies might be hardwired into us as humans. It's like over time, we've developed a sense of what's right and wrong to help us live together in groups. Think of it as an evolutionary guidebook to being a good member of the tribe.

So, when we ask if there's a universal morality, we're really exploring the tension between these different perspectives. Are there some moral rules that everyone can agree on, or is morality more like a flexible set of guidelines that vary depending on where and when you are?

In everyday terms, it's a bit like asking whether there's a common understanding of what it means to be a good person. Imagine you're in a big global neighborhood, and everyone has their own ideas about what's right and wrong. Some folks might say, "Hey, we all need to be honest and help each other out," while others might have slightly different views.

The answer to whether there's a universal morality isn't a simple "yes" or "no." It's a nuanced exploration of how people all around the world navigate questions of right and wrong, drawing on their cultural backgrounds, personal experiences, and the shared values that seem to connect us all.

In the end, the search for a universal morality is like a journey through the landscape of human beliefs, asking us to reflect on what it means to live a good life and how we can find common ground in the midst of our diverse perspectives. As we continue to explore these philosophical realms, inviting you to join the conversation.

Why do we experience Déjà Vu?

Déjà vu is like that peculiar moment when you step into a new place or experience something, and it feels strangely familiar, almost as if you've lived it before. Now, imagine time isn't this straightforward, one-way street. Picture it as this vast landscape where all moments—past, present, and future—exist at the same time.

In this view, your past self, present self, and future self are all happening concurrently. Déjà vu, then, might be your present self aligning with a moment your future self has already lived through. It's like a temporary overlap of your current reality with a snippet from a potential future.

What triggers this alignment? Well, it could be triggered by something in your current situation that subconsciously reminds you of a future event, or perhaps it's like a momentary glitch in the usual flow of time. Some theories even suggest that our brains might accidentally tap into another timeline, offering us a glimpse of what's to come.

Now, this idea of déjà vu raises some big philosophical questions. If déjà vu is indeed a peek into a future we're destined to live, does that mean our lives are predetermined, like following a pre-written script? On the flip side, could déjà vu be showing us the numerous possible paths our lives could take, hinting at our role in shaping our destiny?

So, it's not just about the brain playing tricks; it's a window into contemplating time, fate, and the nature of choice. While scientists are busy untangling the scientific knots of déjà vu, this phenomenon serves as a captivating invitation to explore the depths of our existence and the intricate dance between time, destiny, and our own decisions.

Is there a scientific explanation for the phenomenon of time seeming to pass faster as we get older?"

As we age, the perception that time passes more quickly is influenced by a combination of psychological, neurological, and mindfulness factors. Several theories attempt to explain this phenomenon:

Routine and Novelty:Explanation: Over time, individuals often settle into more predictable routines. The brain may be less inclined to encode routine experiences into distinct memories, contributing to the sense that time is passing more swiftly.Example: Novel experiences, common in youth, stand out more distinctly in memory, creating the impression that time slows down during periods of greater novelty.

Proportional Theory:Explanation: This theory posits that, as we age, each unit of time (such as a year) becomes a smaller proportion of our overall life. Consequently, time seems to pass more quickly because a year represents a diminishing fraction of our total existence.Example: A year may feel significant to a child but relatively brief to an older individual for whom it represents a smaller percentage of their life.

Neurological Changes:Explanation: Aging is associated with structural and functional changes in the brain. A potential slowdown in processing speed may impact how we perceive and encode temporal information, contributing to the feeling that time is accelerating.Example: Slower processing speed may affect the brain's ability to distinguish and retain the details of events, leading to a more compressed perception of time.

Memory Compression:Explanation: With age, the brain may employ a form of memory compression, consolidating similar experiences into broader categories. This compression can result in less detailed memories and a sense that less time has passed.Example: Rather than retaining specific details of routine days, the brain may compress memories into a more general sense of daily activities.

Mindfulness and Presence:Explanation: As individuals age, there's a potential for a greater inclination toward mindfulness and being present in the moment. When people are more engaged and focused on the present, it can contribute to the perception of time passing quickly because they are not dwelling on the past or worrying about the future.Example: Being fully present and immersed in activities without constant distraction or preoccupation can enhance the feeling that time is passing swiftly.

The perception of time is complex and multifaceted, with these factors interacting in unique ways for each individual. While scientific understanding continues to evolve, the interplay of routine, memory, mindfulness, and neurological changes collectively contributes to the intriguing phenomenon of time seemingly accelerating as we age.
