I made $32 after 16 months of coding. Was it all a waste of time? — Over the last 16 months, I’ve done something that sounds cooler than it really is: I built a SaaS. In my free time, at night, on weekends, while everyone else was at the beach or watching Netflix, I …

Have your parents ever given you an illusion of choice? — My mom gave me a choice today, but in reality it felt more of an illusion. We were stuck inside a diner as we had no umbrella for around 45 minutes. By the time the rain had stopped, I was already ha…

Sounds like you just haven’t found it yet, but you’ll know when you do! As for being of top importance to someone else, that’s just an illusion. We’re only really number one to one person—ourself! And…
When I walked away from my FA, I sent her an email, a pretty lengthy one, that fully held her accountable for her actions and her behavior. I pointed out all of her gaslighting, her manipulation, the …
The idea of being “ready” is an illusion. It’s a way perfectionism can sneak in and steal our joy. It skews our perception on what we can handle. Address the fears. What is the root of the fears? Wh…
I always have called Pluto the dirty little iceball with delusions of grandeur. It can be transformational but control has to be let go of. So control is an illusion.
Rahu is definitely an illusion.. fame is an illusion , celebrity culture is illusion too..all are rahu Hence all these achievers who got insane fame will have strong rahu And other than that rahu i…
well, when I see these words above, it is all obvious and clear that its illusion. Its consciousness. One day I saw this and it is clear. So now when im watching the river flow, I know its an appeara…
The way I think about it is this: retrogrades are real in the sense that the distance between the earth and the planet really is increasing. The *illusion* is that the other planet is *moving backward…
This guy is 31. I'm sry having to tell you that you're not his first nor his last victim. He'll unblock and re-add you when he needs to weaponize you against the next girl, like he did to you. What yo…
“We were holding onto ideas of who we hoped the other person was rather than who we actually were.” Honestly this felt worse than anything else. As though he’s saying we didn’t even know each other. …
I wish I would’ve cut my NA father off years ago, I felt sorry for him though. But once his crazy shit got projected onto me I went completely fucking nuts and thermonuclear. The shock/realization of …
I have literally had this happen so many times in my life, where things turned out to be different than they appeared to he. Almost like it had been an illusion. Sometimes this happened to my advantag…
This is such a great question. I've been meditating for too many decades to admit and have often wondered who if anyone is really enlightened, and if we aren't chasing down yet another illusion. Thank…
I've done this yes for quite a long time. I've concluded though that ketamine's depth is largely a cognitive hallucination, ie, an illusion. I can quite easily accept that very, very rarely, like once…
As someone who went thru counseling and is in a successful relationship for 7 years. It sounds like you need therapy and accountability not validation my guy. I do not come from a place of judgment, …
Both our minds went to “vampire.” Though honestly, after years of podcasts and high strangeness reddits, I can honestly say I have no idea what it was. I only ever found that one other account on the …
Sneak peek: the destination of enlightenment is disillusionment. Conscious, willful blissful disillusionment. Then in this state you eventually seek change and you long for enlightenment again. Yin ya…
You're welcome. It's weird (to say the least) out there. We should bring each other up, not try to demoralize those who achieve something. I say this because I saw comments in this and across other po…
Essentially yes! But choosing to see good is only a step towards a greater goal as the philosophy of Advaitha extends beyond recognizing good over evil. It is about realizing the highest truth, that i…
You can fly through walls, getting stuck on them is an illusion. You should get away from your body because the closer you are the easier it will pull you back in
This is also adding that I did try reconciliation but it went nowhere. Not only did I stay stuck in flight/freeze responses since my own mind and body started viewing her through the lens of neglect a…
The point is to **see** (observe with insight) the mechanics of the mental processes and contents that we commonly (or at least often) take very seriously from a more objective perspective. **Seeing*…
To add to OP's explanation, and to reflect on your question - your "reality" is where you pay or spend your attention. Attention is like the currency of the imagination. Imagination is the reality and…
Right!? I’ve been bamboozled by clients when I was new. I assumed they weren’t lying because what would be the point? Talking to relatives they asked me to talk to shattered that illusion. I started t…
If your message is coming from the heart, then yes, it can be connected to source in some way. But if this is coming from your logic thinking it may be another ego illusion. Nonetheless very interesti…
The thing is you have let the 3D convince you that you do not have it. Something I do when the 3D triggers me is I let myself feel the emotions and then I remind myself that I am simply getting caught…
I feel this too! It's changed lately due to everything coming into the Light and being exposed! It's so fascinating to go from conspiracy theorist, to watching others wake up and notice this world is…
"It's the only thing that listens to me or reads my stories I write." It may be helpful, if painful, to remember that ai is an illusion. It's not listening, and it's only really reading the way a calc…
I've seen crafts shoot out what looks like shooting stars, but not once did it come to my mind that it was an illusion. To me it looked like they shot out an object at high speed into the horizon. Or …
Long-term TM is meant to change sense-of-self as descxribed in the study linked to below: . [As part of the studies on enlightenment and samadhi via TM,](https://www.reddit.com/r/transcendental/com…
That's what I love about zen. The label is already an illusion. Just take everything in. And do nothing.
Honestly it is disheartening to read that you’ve practice ten years and stayed in an ashram for 5 years to barely make progress on meditation. I know proponents of meditation will claim this is real p…
Anything you attract is there for a reason, the fun is in finding out why. Fear, anger, lust, obsession, etc. are all just like signs pointing to a clue. Ultimately they are all temporary, just varyin…
Neville, with all his often endless bible quoting, was actually a non-duality master. Your post is a little long but I'm with you. Neville was not a materialist, not by a long shot. Things are fine, h…
I think this is a kind of reckless concept salad that you've encountered. People are glibly throwing together Eastern and Western ideas in a sort of New Age "scientism". Western science and neuroscie…
The first time she turned her head from a kiss your relationship was over. She’s not invested in your future. It’s been less than a year and for almost half of that you knew something was wrong. Pack …
Bad things can happen that are outside of our control. My husband was diagnosed stage 4 cancer at 32. He died after 6 years. I was a widow at 37. Before then I always felt like that was something that…
No but I must have. May be my higher self did choose to be ill. We are supposed to break through the illusion. In the end in my worldview, this plane is not even our main playground. FYI - There are …
What I've learned from a marriage that ended without any clear reason why (I did find out months later though), and a relationship that failed where my ex-partner made it ABUNDANTLY clear why he was e…
It's a proprioceptive illusion. A mild hallucination essentially. Pretty common and come in many different forms besides this. It's essentially brain noise and has no intrinsic meaning. Some people …
I love this analogy one therapist gives. She says affair partners are like cotton candy and spouses are like steak. Cotton candy is fun and sweet and easy to eat. Steak is tough and chewy and harder t…
You don't go deeper. It's an illusion. Every single teacher will tell you not to do it.
Not a doctor. States exist. If illusion is a fear, remember that by the same theories everything is illusion. Including being stone cold sober for your whole waking and sleeping life. Including livi…
This is what they let us know but we don't know if in recent years they have created alien characters capable of acting out this alien illusion. You and I, we don't know everything that governments do…
I agree we don’t know everything the government does in secret, but I’m still not understanding the “alien illusion.” Just doesn’t add up or make sense in any practical way especially to the scale of…
The coherence argument is the one that gets underplayed. If NDEs were just brain noise, oxygen deprivation, neurochemical cascade, you'd expect the content to be fragmented and random. Instead it tend…
The way you’re looking at it implies still a doer. There is still an assumption that “you” have to shift your psychological state in order to manifest something. But even that state just appears, em…
LOA places emphasis on empowering the self. You are the creator, you are the awareness shaping your experience. Nonduality points in a different direction. It says there is no separate “you” to begin…
His mother obviously does not know about your past 'activities.' This is fine, she doesn't need to. But he is so committed to maintaining the illusion that he now insists on altering your behavior…
I have meditated for 4 years, a 4 hours a day. Perhaps I can help a little. Watch the breath. Watch the thought. Same thing, different object. Different brain regions, different benefits. It is goo…
