Hello rebels , I just took this lesson of live to dance and dance to live . He teaches that , this journey does not end in meditation , after it , dance to the rhythm of the cosmos . My thoughts on this is that what I do in life , I mean even the simple things like cleaning my room I have to do it in a way that I have my mind in it . I have heard the story of monks who did this in their activities of carrying buckets of water or chopping wood . To me this sounds like meditation is just continuing but am just not sitting down or lying. Let me know what you people think, I would love your opinions on that lesson .

As I continue my spiritual journey, it feels like my monster mind is trying to hinder my progress and prevent me from achieving freedom. It almost seemed easier at the beginning when I first started, but persistence is crucial. I hope that we all find spiritual awakening, growth, and freedom, especially freedom.

Like I just want the universe to wait for me, while I - Doomscroll - Lose focus - Give in to comfort - Masturbate way too much - Waste time - Don't change my ideologies that have lead to narcissism Why am I so hypocritical? That's because I can, and I don't like it. I don't like wasting my parents' precious money. I don't like making them walking on a rope mentally. But my job is being honest. So I am putting it out here. I'm too self aware and unwilling to change. That's the problem. But I want to add value to this community. I postpone replying to y'all just to feed my social media addiction. I'm sorry I keep betraying the world. Thank you!

Why do I read so many times things about "killing the ego" or that "it's your enemy"? I mean the guy lives inside me right? He would benefit as much as me to feel happy feelings, no? Instead of figting him, can't we just explain to him how he'll benefit by coming along in love instead of wasting time and energy in confrontation?

I just watched the Path of Shadow's videos and it rose some questions in me. It is sometimes said to slay the dragon(monstermind), while at other times to love it and follow it. It is said to not allow our negative thoughts and at the same time to accept any negative thoughts. I sometimes have these thoughts that I know come from fear of rejection/abandonment. I know that ruminating on them will disrupt my energy and make me down, so I try to stay present and chase them away(slay the dragon), but at the same times their presence indicate unresolved trauma, which I want to face and heal. I go stretches of time without any fear of rejection/abandonment and it sometimes randomly pop-up reminding me I am not healed. Should I just hold space for that vulnerable part of myself without being entangled in the drama of speculations??? Anybody have experience healing anxious part of their shadows?
