Weird Thoughts
    #18821093 - 09/09/13 10:08 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

Do any any of you experience practically constant unease from pervasive thinking related to thoughts about what we are? Do you frequently experience unease at thoughts like the fact that you are a sack of organs that is full of fecal matter? Do you find it hard to romanticize the human figure of whatever sex attracks you for more than short bursts of a hyperactive libido?

Sometimes. Sometimes, I really get into the "being alive" thing, though.

I have trouble thinking of living creatures (myself included) as anything but beautiful. I appreciate the beauty of the female body even after I finish but sometimes I like to imagine how gross we would look to extra-terrestrials who would watch us mate. I guess it would be like us watching gorillas fuck.

I have had some utterly beautiful experiences, but the absurdity i feel dominates.

When life seems particularly organic it's one form of depression in my experience.

Take this metaphorically: It sounds like your shields are down psychologically to some extent.

We don't know what we are, but why is it important? Sack of organs, fecal something, and that means what? It's just another thing that doesn't mean anything specific, just general fear working through the thoughts and imagery of the mind. As far as romance I have no advice except to say why worry about it? Seems fairly normal to me. Things can always change. Enjoy the lack of romance while it lasts right?

I think of the long chain of cause and affect that brought me to this world.  Its quite a miracle to be the offspring of survival.

No to everything except the last one, I find the mating ritual to be very bizarre a lot of times. One of the reasons I'd rather sleep around, easier for me to get into sex with someone new - after like 2 weeks it just goes downhill fast.

any expectations otherwise are fallacious,
the alternatives to being such a body are not enticing - true it is challenging... carry on!

The question is if i should continue to familiarize myself with such unsettling truths in hopes of assimilating over time or if i should shift my focus from anxiety-inducing associations in favor of being willfully optimistic by default for no reason other than placating myself.

yes, shift and get oriented and relaxed, then return with perspective and some calm. some concerns are nothing at all, others are worth making efforts, adjustments.

Distractions can definitely provide temporary relief. This approach seems along the lines of the "shifting my focus" option. The problem with this is how pervasive such unsettling thinking is for me. It is my biggest obsession hands down.

Perhaps deciding that the truth value of an idea must be discerned no matter how painful the implications was a self-defeating endeavor. I actively sabatoged myself by idolizing a life where you refuse to ignore unpleasant thoughts in chase of the most realistic representation possible.

This pursuit of greater knowledge acted as my version of the heroic i fantasized about achieving, but instead of finding the meaning i craved i found the tragic truth there is no lasting meaning, just fleeting feelings.

Have you struggled with similar feelings? Did such thoughts ever stop weirding you out?

Nope.  Never.  Sounds weird.  I agree.

oh yes, that and of course the limit of the universe, and is it like a membrane or a huge frozen ice cave, and if so what is on the other side of that? etc.

I personally think meaning arises from the fleeting feelings, much in the same way that you can't have a story without an ever changing plot. I don't believe that our lives have any one single meaning, but I find my personal experience, and I'm assuming other's personal experiences, also have meaning within them. For example I don't believe we could have a conversation about meaning if there wasn't some way our minds could comprehend meaning.
