Be at peace, we are all in this nonsense together ALL over the world.....

@@nise5281 Thank you. 🥰

@@TerriblePerfection you are so right, there is only ever what is, absolutely everything else is just our imagination creating possible scenarios,, and anything we worry about will always be a frequent topic for our imagination. Other people like to make us afraid, to feed our worries it gives them a sense of power to scare other people, and I am totally convinced that more than a few anti vacs people are themselves fully vaccinated.

@@johngreen4683 What do you mean? That some vaccinated people regret that they did it? I can believe that. My own sister spent 3 weeks in hospital after her second shot.

@@TerriblePerfection I am so sorry that your sister had such a bad reaction to the vaccine, I totally understand that may well have put you off being vaccinated yourself, lets face it I think most of us think twice in your position. Each person must make their own choice but all I would ever ask people to do is think who is telling you what and why. Are all these people who have devoted their lives to saving others suddenly become bad people all at the same time ? And if someone who is anti vax is also a climate change denier and claims the moon landings were fake and the earth is flat please question how reliable their advice is.

Reality is a much greater truth.

Hello, how are you doing? ☺

Bless you, and light and love on your road to recovery💕💕☀️☀️ I feel you. Rumination is my big pitfall🙈 All the best❤️🙏🏻

instead of living in the present moment "Be" in and as the present moment .. (::)

I don't know if I'd agree that intoxicants bring the individual into the present. I think alcohol emboldens the false self (the narrative, makes it more real). I think cannabis makes the false self/narrative more apparent. It can contribute to awakening (the self without a false, comforting narrative). I think people who say "i tried cannabis but didn't like it" actually experienced being disarmed (their inner confabulation seen for what it is; self-defense mechanisms rendered transparent). I think those people should use more of it. But, there comes a point where being "medicated" isn't being in the moment. It's being in the moment "medicated." That's not much different than being in the moment preoccupied with thoughts (past/future).

He has talked about this in his books. Alcohol and meditation both seemingly produce the same effect, namely a temporary freedom from thoughts. You are grounded in the present moment. So you could say the desired effect is the same. But with alcohol there is freedom from overthinking but you have fallen below thought whereas through meditation and mindfulness you have risen above thought. There is no awareness with alcohol, you are unconscious. There is only awareness in spiritual practice. You are alert,aware and fully conscious of everything that is happening.

@@andybrown3016 I think that definition sounds right. IMO, this stuff is all related to Lebet's discovery some years ago that our choices/decisions occur 3/10ths of a second before our conscious mind believes it made the choice/decision. That doesn't sound like much time. But, it's enough to show that we're not really a product of our conscious mind. It emerges from the subconscious and our conscious mind _rationalizes_ what emerges. I think mindfulness brings us as close to that point of emergence that we can get to. I think alcohol gets us closer to that but more in a way of believing our rationalizations (without reality contradicting us as much). More "up" about who we think we are. Cannabis brings us closer to the source of the rationalizations (the subconscious) and the rationalizations are less believable (we see it more plainly, which can be an uncomfortable experience because the rationalizations exist for a reason, to put distance from that source & reality). Like you described, it's almost the same thing in the sense of being temporary. One can make their problems go away temporarily (and feel worse when it's over, with a hangover). Or, they can feel worse temporarily (visiting their inner truth with cannabis), and then feel better later. In either case, the person ends up with more honesty/insight. Alcohol seems to be more of a "I'll trade the hangover and physical toxicity for a moment of how I wish things could be." Cannabis is more of a visit with what's unpleasant knowing it won't last long. There's rarely a hangover involved, or a price to pay for that. The outcome is more awareness of one's own mind (not escaping it). That's just my way of looking at it. (But, firmly believe that those who say "I tried cannabis and didn't like how I felt" should spend more time. I think that experience means there's something there to be more familiar with, reconciled to.). Alcohol is more "I didn't like how I felt afterward." That's the price of having a temporary reprieve from reality/self.

As a recovering alcoholic/drug addict, I can assure you that the day will come when all your questions about alcohol and drugs will be answered, and you won't need anyone else but yourself to find the answers . And even with the answers, that doesn't guarantee you'll stop using.

I think sometimes, but not always. Healing can require bringing the pain into the light and that is going to not be comfortable and will require your mental input. But once done, your awareness is automatically better. The minds eye becomes that much more clear. It doesn't have to work around the debris left in place. It requires thinking to get that out. Our lives flow in accordance with what we have become. We can, 'unbecome' that.

@@danielpaulson8838 of course you can think and use your mind as long as you are conscious of every thought and you don’t let your mind drag you into indulging in negativity

@@sandrasaba8229 Well said. Thank you

@@sandrasaba8229 yes identify as the silent witness, the observer and not the thoughts. Become conscious of that empty space of awareness in which your thoughts manifest

@@andybrown3016 Thank you Andy , I appreciate this . Where are you living in the world ?

What origin story? :D Share please, I'd be happy to get to know him better.

@@kontrast3460 Read ‘The Power of Now’ or you can hear the free audio content version with Eckhart reciting the narrative on Utube Eckhart tells his story I think you will enjoy and get a lot out of it.

Still I'm curious about his origin previous to his Awakening? I know he spent many years in the grips of suicidal depression , I just curious if it was drug related or what ....doesn't really matter .... I know my calling has always been to be spiritual teacher as well. Had my first spiritual experience at 21 years old. I then again and again etc etc stumbled fought worked, gave everything I had at getting through the grips of substance abuse -and overworking- and trying to save the world- all the while I couldn't save myself. ... I dearly hope I have truly just awoken. So beautifully ironic* is the fact that this time I got clean on May 10th ...and not until months and months later I found out that's when the Buddha was enlightened!!!!!??? Not saying I have anything to do with the Buddha but... ... I guess NOW I kind of do... Good wishes and enlightening travels to all my fellow beings. €{~;()
