self inquiry..
    #19406933 - 01/12/14 05:05 AM (10 years, 19 days ago)

how important do you think it is? do you find it useful?

it seems clear to me that most of us have blind spots.. also people can get themselves into a rut that only the help of someone else can get them out of..

agree? thoughts?

What do you mean by self inquiry?
A questioning nature should be cultivated, without blind spots for sure.

my definition of self inquiry in the op is reflecting back on yourself and thinking about your intentions, subconscious motivations, influences of your surroundings on your behavior etc

it gives me a headache too tbh

what could work in this vein is as follows:

review tableaux of situations and consider if things should have played out differently based upon personal action having been different.

then devise a routine that you could practice, in order to change the personal behavior.

then consider if that effort is worth the trouble.

if it is worth the trouble begin devised program (practice) that alters the reflex pattern or habit.

that's good advice, much better than my technique of reviewing why they couldnt have played out otherwise and hating yourself

Its actually the way to true transcendence/ego death/awakening or what have you if you actually make the changes to your emotion/thought/mind system.

Then you don't come down.  Its as if you have permanently transcended the boundary of who you once were, FOREVER.  And you enter a new world of experience.  And I would argue that things like ESP and telepathy are enhanced after this progress.

the question is absurd .. self is infinite existence because it cant be but free so able to exist and do other things without stepping on else freedom things or present.. it can be funny what you are saying, as it is the opposed concept to  self fact ..

self is the you being because constant conscious so it is called self as you every instant the present no matter what you might be doing
so self is what is never something it is the reality of freedom that you alone are in being conscious

there is no inquiry of that because that value is the fact that it cant be any.. like if you want to stop and question you, then other you would be more false ... but also how can I say it .. you cannot question you ! it is you .. the absolute present .. like anything you would say is more you then the you you mean to talk about
you is the free self always the complete end one that moves consciously

if you want to correct something about you it must be indirectly through what you are doing with else so objectively in true existence realms or with others so relatively what you identify being alike to mean something about you objectively .. but not the self.. never
self is the free identity conscious

and no, when you are in a negative situation only else can help

existence is true, positive is the exclusive sense in truth, so if you are in negative state then you are possessed, away of being free then it is a fact of being inferior forever ... unless else intervene objectively positively

like for me the only positive intervention is to kill gods starting by the god that all humans know

the issue is what you don't admit that existence is true, and insist to mean existence as a will or creation simulations of beings... that is why you sound poor in meaning anything really

when to you, existence is a will or fake.. then it can be infinite different things ... so you cant conceive an objective thing ... then you will point something that you as a subject could mean seeing ... which would be not even something since relative .. that is why it cant be but through means of first degree intellectual platform.. so not even abstract value of means .. so nothing constant could be meant of you... no existence

useful yeep but like you said if I was left to self inquiry without any help from outside then id prob still be left creating my own delusional/destructive perspectives... not that those aren't still there but they are much friendlier to my self and others.... one glace from another person before could send me in a whirlwind of conclusions and perceptions that I was so sure were true... like I could read minds flawlessly or something. Glad to be out of that stage, thanks to self inquiry... many many thanks to self inquiry... but the thanks all goes to the collective... because left to my self id prob still be living in a shed or in some alley way somewhere... thinking and concluding so many destructive patterns of thought... spouting delusion but Teflon blood so... let it flow :smile:

Introspection can be very depressing and energy depleting (seemingly)...
