a reply to: Itisnowagain

Real, within the construct of what we've been entertaining.

a reply to: Neith

Well - no thing is real.

a reply to: Itisnowagain

I was testing you.

a reply to: Neith

Who (a thing) wants to know what (a thing)?
There are no things. - nothing individual.
This is wholeness - this is complete.

Thing One and Thing two rock - Dr.Suess

The real world? doesn't exist.

So what should we do about it? Help me out here.

I have terrible anxiety have had numerous courses of antidepressants and have finally found the answer
I am taking CBD oil and i,ve got my life back and its a natural product so no side effects
Wouldnt be without it now, I,m in the UK so dont know what the laws are in other country,s but its
ok to get here This helps the anxiety and so in turn helps greatly with my sleep as well

This is the dilemma!!!!

'Me' doesn't exist to do anything about anything!
'You' cannot do anything - and 'you' don't need to - it is all happening by itself.

a reply to: Itisnowagain

Wow, I think you just blew my f'ing mind!

a reply to: Neith
The belief in some 'thing' which does not exist is the cause of all anxiety. There is a belief that there is a 'you' that can do - when really there is only ever what is happening.
'You' can never do anything wrong (or right) - now you are free.

Um ok, now you're over my head.

My head is in the clouds right now with mary jane.

a reply to: Neith
What is happening is what is happening - but there maybe a belief that 'you' are doing something. There is no 'you' doing anything.
There maybe a character appearing to be smoking - whatever is appearing is just what is showing up.
No one is doing anything - there is just what is showing up - it's just a movie.
The seer of the movie never appears in the movie - ever!

If there is a 'you' then you are choicelessly aware of what is appearing. What is appearing is sound and vision and in this there are stories appearing about 'someone' - there isn't 'someone' - there is just what is appearing within the choiceless awareness.

a reply to: Itisnowagain

Tell me, where are you getting your information?

a reply to: Neith

Why? Does it make sense or not?

You should talk to my 5 yr old daughter, Im not saying this to be mean. She talks about how everything is not real and we are being watched like in a movie. This thought seems to frighten her. She's never seen Truman Show. She is very intellectual for a 5 yr old. I know I could learn something from her. I dont want her to lose this creepy edge so I tell her its ok to have these thoughts and she isnt the only one.

Edit to say we have only talked about this twice, its not an issue.

You say this thought seems to frighten her - has she said that she is frightened by it?

a reply to: Itisnowagain


Her voice trembles when talking about it and then...she doesnt want to talk about it anymore, like she wants to forget about it.

She is a very happy go lucky little girl, always singing and playing. When she talks about it the atmosphere seems to change and its like im talking to an adult...so strange. Then she wants to go back to be happy go lucky.

She also has said something about the walls caving in one time when we were discussing.

a reply to: Neith

Lol
people talk like this, like Nisargadatta Maharaj in India for many many centuries. It has to be the plant in their diet.
I read one book of his non-dualism and my mind was not able to stop running this script for months. At the end of the day
you are still a human and you don't really know how and why. ...but who needs to know how and why right? Lol!
So many responses possibly made OP anxious. Of course mine were okay and constructive

"It does run in families" again. Let's follow this trail to find the cause.
I've got 3 hypotheses:
1. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine it's always related to some organ like kidneys with fear, lungs-depression etc.
So once you find a hereditary disease of some organ, like diabetes, you'll know everything you need. It could be gluten intolerance messing with pancreas and spleen. It's a bit more complicated than that but still pretty good method.
2.Family is haunted by demon feeding on fear because of dabbling in the occult by an ancestor
3.related to upbringing. Weakness is learned behaviour as anything else. We learn by mirroring parents and others.

We aren't health care professionals, sorry. However I have a likely cure. Electronics detox. Who wouldn't be anxious with the terrible world we live in? Maybe buy or build a small cabin in the woods and decompress there when life seems like too much. I find it work for me

I've read kava kava to be almost illegal in most states cause of it's intoxicating effects on liver. Just find good friends. There's plenty of us here on ATS.
