is there a way to unlock your unconscious mind?

[Poh SIti Dawn]

Buddhist philosophy is beautiful for this reason. Not to get too in depth, but the 2nd of the three vehicles, the Mahayana, with its practice of giving&taking is a saving grace of sorts for a practitioner. I feel so many zen types have become/are so militant because they practice only sitting meditation. It helps develop a sense of humor of the entire thing

Can you pust example's/links?

And why do you think sitting meditation causes militancy?

I felt lost and life felt meaningless , I was depressed all the time , I'm not some happy-go-lucky person by any means but I feel like a different person now , kinda hard to explain tbh

What do you think caused your change? Could it be that you faced the demons in meditation and that was what you needed most importantly?

When I started smoking I became really self-aware of a lot of things , i watched Keeping up with the Kardashians one day and started to realize how evil everything is

And understand Satan and demons arnt scary monsters , they disguise themselves as the Angel of light , I believe Chakars and "energy" are very real but shouldn't be tapped into

i don't think it causes it, but it can be a result.

I'm not going to do any justice to the practice, but the premise is you take other people's pain, aggression, whatever else on the in breath, and give the antidote on the out breath. Start with people who are closest to you and eventually when the practice is strong you do it with enemies. The basic idea is that most people spend their time trying to protect and avoid pain and this flips it on its head. It's absurd, yet sincere and has helped me not to take things so seriously.

From a westerners POV I think Chogyam Trungpa did a wonderful job of explaining Buddhism if you find yourself drawn to its philosophy. He was a drunk and gave up his monastic vows after the Chinese takeover in Tibet, but was realized and adept at explaining the dharma to someone who didn't grow up where it's widely practiced. A video of his on YouTube titled 'surrendering your aggression' is one I come back to every once in a while. On mobile or I would embed it

They don't, they allow it to run its course, the only difference are the times and the ways to spread it.

oh they do

Acid

I haven't done acid but Im told its more visual. I would recommend mushrooms if you want to explore parts of your brain that you haven't before. Its more of a mental trip and I feel you access parts of your brain that you normally couldn't.

You don't think part of it is paranoia from smoking too much weed?

I wouldn't safe its evil just self indulgent garbage that people fuel themselves on

Why shouldn't they be tapped into? Should you not be aware?

That's the same thing Satan told Eve in the garden

It must go hand in hand with timing then and being able to recycle bad vibes with knowledge of self in which consists of love and not hate. The only issue is not reacting like they want you to so quickly.

I'll check him out, I've read a lot of the bhagavad gita and liked it and books on koans and Buddhism and such so I am somewhat educated on our topic. I even had a man who studied the art of zen coach me on some things from Japan. I am wanting to ask him although we haven't spoke in a while so I am nervous.

You can't make such a generalization that's just paranoia.

that's the Bible, meditation and chakras aren't a Christian concept that could be your conflict amongst weed

 

[GSR]

you only wanna do that if you have your conscious mind in order. if you got personal insecurities and fears about anything in life its recomended that you quell those first before you explore your syb conscious like that.
