Do you prefer to focus on being or non being?

2019-12-06 04:42:58 UTC  

Also do u think ssris are inherently bad for spiritual growth?

2019-12-06 04:50:43 UTC  

Depends on the intent of the focus. Buddhist tradition even has uses for meditating on that which neither "is" nor "isn't". As for SSRI's, I can't really give an educated opinion.

2019-12-06 05:00:07 UTC  

I would like someone other than Lucia to read me.

2019-12-06 05:00:19 UTC  

Wait shit

2019-12-06 05:00:21 UTC  

wrong channel

2019-12-06 05:00:22 UTC  

my bad.

2019-12-06 05:02:47 UTC  

@Doragon What @J.T. said is correct. To be quite honest with you it doesn't necessarily matter (in terms of focusing on all being or non being), unless you happen to be Buddhist. Committing to either path to it's mystical fulfillment is difficult, but to commit to the understanding of the Monad through non being would require almost immediately some serious detachment from material affairs.

2019-12-06 05:04:05 UTC  

Also, if you want my personal advice, from a brief experience, do not take SSRIs

2019-12-06 05:04:15 UTC  

At all.

2019-12-06 05:05:39 UTC  

In fact, it's generally imperative that meditations are performed in sobriety, so as to ascertain the 'temperature' within various states of consciousness.

2019-12-06 05:06:04 UTC  

And, so that the mind is not turbulent, and can be adequately centered.

2019-12-06 05:06:53 UTC  

The effects of meditations are not purely psychological; they cause very noticeable physiological changes as well.

2019-12-06 05:08:01 UTC  

The operations can raise body temperature and cause various impactful chemical reactions within the brain.

2019-12-06 05:08:43 UTC  

Yeah I'm aware of the effects. I used to be really into Paramahansa Yogananda

2019-12-06 05:09:01 UTC  

One such instance, I recall reading, a Jewish man is now on treatment after his practice of TDM for some reason removed his ability to properly digest food.

2019-12-06 05:10:13 UTC  

Just wondering if there's a known problem for people trying to get in touch with spiritual or esoteric layers while they might be on ssris or other medications for whatever reason

2019-12-06 05:11:09 UTC  

Generally yes. SSRIs and antipsychotics

2019-12-06 05:11:25 UTC  

From what I've seen and experienced.

2019-12-06 05:11:46 UTC  

So how can u tell a psychotic episode from a religious experience?

2019-12-06 05:11:50 UTC  

If you're taking an SSRI for depression, I'd recommend you stop and try to solve these issues by yourself.

2019-12-06 05:12:00 UTC  

I'm not

2019-12-06 05:12:30 UTC  

*u tell a psychotic episode from a religious experience?*

2019-12-06 05:12:45 UTC  

Well, you could start by asking yourself if you're in control.

2019-12-06 05:12:51 UTC  

Lol

2019-12-06 05:12:54 UTC  

They gave me some when I asked for a fast acting benzodiazepan for random anxiety attacks

2019-12-06 05:13:04 UTC  

But I'm not a fan of stuff u need to take long term

2019-12-06 05:13:10 UTC  

You need to face those anxiety attacks head on.

2019-12-06 05:13:14 UTC  

And they will go away.

2019-12-06 05:13:23 UTC  

I face my darkest fears in lucid dreams

2019-12-06 05:13:34 UTC  

When I'm in class I just wanna focus on the math

2019-12-06 05:13:37 UTC  

I had recurring panic attacks, even during the time when I practiced Kundalini.

2019-12-06 05:13:47 UTC  

Have you tried any meditation or technique to control your panic attacks?

2019-12-06 05:13:47 UTC

2019-12-06 05:13:54 UTC  

This is going to sound quackish, but eat more meat and face the attacks head on.

2019-12-06 05:14:09 UTC  

They will go away, and generally speaking they're growing pains.

2019-12-06 05:14:21 UTC  

Literally in every nightmare I have I force myself to face whatever monster or thing is causing the nightmare
