I think I've had 18000 traps so far.... keep it real, being a freshman for the rest of your life is the only way.

The video is one hour old and the comments are ten years old. Mr Innuendo, if you have a club of intelligent people who listen to Satie and travel back in time, speak up now.

waterr the breathe rather than cussing

Happend to me after seeing the ochs, because it was so shocking for me and alot of old stuff came up. So it began with a dissociation. Took 2-3 years to heal. Was depressed and even fantasied about suicide. Everything felt pointless. Maybe you can call it dark night, but even the emptiness felt wrong. So I believe, there is a connection. I remember the darkest moment was december 2022, and suddenly it was all over. No panic attacks, no burnout, no depression anymore. And step by step, the emptiness feels more welcome. Feels like an integration of some kind. Maybe normal part of process, but I don't believe it is like that for many people. Difficult birth here, but I keep going. I know it will get better, because it already got.

So does that mean that the more unconscious things you do or if you do a lot of things without being mindful do you develop more kryas and have to release those unconsious patterns every time?

If these things happen, why meditate? I say keep your mind healthy. Life has enough suffering as it is. No one really knows if there’s an end to samsara or if multiple lives are real. I can’t mess up my mind. I work full-time and need money to provide for myself and my daughter.

People want shit to learn flow, from this guy learn it

I’m not even a serious meditator, but ‘knowing’ the self is an illusion doesn’t seem to effect me at all. It would be more of a problem if I was bought in to the illusion of the self.

I’m having trouble with the hear rest. By defocusing the ears do we open up the ears the same way we defocus the eyes? Or do we listen to the absence of sound, because it is not always possible to get this state of no sound.

Sorry to break it to you but your ego is a crucial part of human existence you need it to make good decisions without it you are lost.

You must ask …who doesn’t know? Is there knowing and not knowing? Which one are you? Always remember don’t know is not two.

" the natural response to intense physical discomfort is actually to drop into equanimity." Umm no, its not at all. It's the opposite. You cant just make a paradoxical statement without clarifying context to be deep.

I believe I found a large degree of enlightenment accidentally. I was searching for the answer to what makes something real, “how is stuff here?” a question that irritated me since I was an infant child. I was primarily searching for this through philosophy and mathematics. I always considered myself to be a completely logical person, and when an answer dawned on me, which I believe is something you are alluding to during my brief look through your videos. It shocked my gigantic ego so hard I couldn’t even function in reality anymore. I couldn’t explain myself to people without reality seeming to directly interfere with me doing so. I became fearful, afraid that the universe was trying to punish me for saying something that should never be said. I still carry that fear with me but have managed to set my own arrogance aside and just continue living normally without questioning things too deeply. I keep such things to myself, I tend to focus heavily on activities that other people respect, my ego never really died a complete death. I decided to become a chess master to prove that I was sane (not a sane decision but I did it) I now peruse a formal degree in mathematics and live a totally normal life obeying these rules. I occasionally test what I can say to people about that haunting idea, and surprise surprise the universe appears to slap me in the face every time. I sometimes wonder if I am just finding the slap because I’m searching for it, but it appears undeniable to me at this point, so I just keep my mouth closed. To sum this up, I hated enlightenment, I think I still do. I ground myself, back in to my ego, as much as I can every single day. I cannot let go of my sense of self. But it did help me become a better person, treat people better, I carry far less anger and bitterness than I used to. I wasn’t searching for a spiritual awakening, but just happened upon it incidentally. If I could turn back time, I would never ask myself such stupid questions. It wasn’t worth it for me.

This is BEAUTIFUL!

Thanks for the vid Shinzen. I'm still not understanding the observer trap and what to do as an antidote. You speak about the act of meditating as going on autopilot - is this the trap? Or is it something else?

From. Nothing comes nothing, HARD TRUTH TO ACCEPT😊

Friendship like love is a lie 🌀💔

Im glad I found this Zen teacher, he is absolutely GREAT and helps me make sense of a lot of teachings together, teachings that involve doing and non doing. MUCH LOVE 🙏💜☯️

I came here via the Sam Harris Waking Up app

I’m thrilled this stuff is on UA-cam!

Equanimity in suffering is why I am doing it now in early 2024.

Great talk

What about will to live? I just don't feel like living. I am wasting my days away. I feel very lonely and sad no matter how much I meditate.

I would like to stop binge eating but during PMS or stress I get intense craving.

Great video. Wanted to share the following as I have experience with this and it might help someone. I have experienced DP/DR for longer periods of time and was eventually diagnosed with a DP/DR disorder. It scared me out of my pants the first time it happened. Everything looked and felt far away, empty, grey and lifeless. It was like I was experiencing life from behind a glass wall. Eventually I got out of it through understanding what it is and applying principles from Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (which derives its practices from Buddhism). 1) Understanding what it is: your brain is trying to protect you DP/DR is a result of the brain somehow perceiving a threat and trying to protect us. It's a way of the brain to detach you from reality and to reduce the mental impact of the dangerous things going on. You can see this in action when someone gets into an accident. People often tell stories of things going in slowmotion, or things going by in a blur, or things being far away and distant, as if they weren't really there when it happened. That is DP/DR. It's a mechanism of the brain to protect it's 'user' from 'mental damage'. And when the brain is in survival mode, it momentarily shuts off all functions that aren't necessary for survival. We don't need happy feelings when we are trying to survive in the moment, so it's nothing but logical you won't feel those. So, thank your brain for trying to be helpful. Have compassion for what it is trying to accomplish for you. Understand that it's just trying to protect you and that it will stop throwing up that DP/DR filter whenever it feels safe gain. 2) Practice acceptance and live your life The more you try to judge and fight with the sensations of dullness and emptiness, the more your brain will think there still is something wrong (keeping you in a DP/DR state). Just let it be. Accept you are going to feel like this for now and that it will move on whenever your brain is ready. Then, focus on doing the things in life that are important to you. Go live your life, however you feel. Show your brain there is nothing to be scared of - while having compassion for it. Connect with the things that matter to you and then slowly, over time, your brain will switch back on all of its normal emotional functions again. All the best! :)

❤❤❤

Very informative. Thank you. I've heard it's also associated with trauma so the more kriyas one has does that mean they have more things to heal?

I love how honest you are. What your thoughts on spontaneous body movements during meditation? Should we allow them or no?

I don't want to be enlightened I just don't want to feel so sad :(

Thanks a lot 💕🙏 Challenging part was the loud adds in between

NOTHING EVER HAPPENS!

Nothing works 🤠

Thank you, dear Shinzen

Are there any more shinzen videos on dreaming and lucid dreaming?

"what's left is more and more doing"? What do you mean?

Thank you for this great explanation! 🙏🙏

Nothing ever happens. 🤗🤣✌️

There are no "clinical" issues except those that society determines to be so. There is a growing awareness that psyche meds do more harm than good in the long run, and can do incredible harm in the short run (PSSD). The brain is neuroplastic and changes in the presence of drugs that change its chemistry. A better emerging understanding can be found within the Power, Threat, Meaning framework rather than the false narrative of the medical model. The STAR*D study on antidepressants was found to be deeply flawed and psychiatry is controlled by big pharma.

What were the imponderables?

I really needed this ❤ Thank you so much ❤

Thank you ❤
