Does anything really matter at all?

[Pixar]

The opposing reaction of basically the same function, or the same expression just placed in a different direction, is anxiety. Anxiety is the desire, or conscious energy moving into the future... so in the cases of guys running a cycle of orals, while dreaming about future cycles and not paying attention to the cycle they are in, will create a sense of anxiety. The anxiety is created out of this tension of the present moment, and the desire to do something different in the future which you are not doing in the present; or basically put the desire to be what you are not in the present; the tension between that what you are (whatever it is you are doing and the state that you are in, in this present moment) and the desire to become something different than what you already are (so, the desire to run a different oral cycle for example, somewhere in the future, that you are not currently running) creates a split; this split is between being, and becoming. What you are, and what you want to be... this split creates anxiety.

As someone who has had a lot of anxiety in their life, I can vouch for this. The knowledge that anxiety is created from not accepting the present has been very liberating for me. But I still have a lot to learn.

Don't we all?

I second that, brokenchild you give very good advice ones again.

I appreciate it brother, but you should always keep in mind that I too am capable of making mistakes just like the rest of us, so you should always take the information into proper consideration and filter it through your own best judgement and understanding, regardless of who said it. We are people, every now and then we all make mistakes, nature of life :!:

Human beings have a habit of compulsive thinking that is so pervasive that we lose sight of the fact that we are nearly always thinking.

Man it's really hard to know what to say. The first thing that sprang to mind was only you can figure this out and no leads from others will really help you. But then I feel like a ....
Right first off man who says you should be happy ?
You are society , you are not seperate from society , without you society does not exist. Of course you are only a part of society but non the less all that you are is 50,000 years of society , all it's learnings , language , violence , greed , hostility , endlesslessly searching for immediate pleasure to escape a feeling of loneliness and lack of true purpose.

So if you can agree you are society ? Start being ok that your unhappy with yourself . Since society is fkd up then there is no
Problem with you also bein fkd up.

Ask yourself also do you enjoy your anxiety ? We all do , it gives us a sense of being something when we really don't feel connected to anything with "deeper" purpose , love etc. the anxiety is a feeding zone for oneself , you can wake in the morning and it can occupy you all day.

I suggest listening to jiddu krishnamurti , I learnt tons from him , and what I said above is a take on what he got me thinking.

The suggested action from his teachings are to observe yourself fully , without an observer as thought trying to influence things , it's only then you can see clearly the whole process. When your stuck trying to change things , become the controller of your thoughts you will be acting aggressively and cause conflict . We are all in the same place bro. Some people have a happy life cause they just constantly search for immediate pleasure till the day they die. And they live there whole life's (including me) with one purpose , the constant search for pleasure and the reverse side of fear if that pleasure is not found. It is a constant pattern that is taught from a young age , and we have racing minds , even in our sleep the mind cannot stop racing , it dreams , an extension of confusion chasing pleasure and trying to solve fear.

I'm not going to suggest you "love yourself" as that's kind of feeble. You don't even understand what you are so how can you possibly find love for something you don't know and are afraid of yourself.

You are society and society is messed up , you've been hurt along the way just as all of us have , and carry that with you as a fear of things that may possibly happen to you again .

Of course you can sort this all out . But NOT if you approach this as another dumb pleasure thing. You've been hit by a crappy entertainment system and your thought process follows this as a search engine now for right and wrong. Be serious , with yourself and what you are thinking. Observe it not wanting to change , get close to it all. If your trying to change it , you are not trying to get close to it all . It's not a game.
