all wound up again???
stop winding up!
just go into the moment without being critical of your failures and repeat each time you are distracted.

And again I disagree. But there's only so much that can be said about it. You will have to quit playing these games with yourself.

I spent 15 years as a drunk manic depressive. I credit meditation more than anything for working my way out of it... along with working on a healthy diet and exercise which had a positive effect on my sleeping habits, and cessation of drugs, one by one, to bring it back on topic.

This "if you could get in my brain" thing reminds me of a conversation I had with starpig. She felt alone. If I couldn't say to her that life wasn't real and that I felt a constant crushing weight of solipsism then I didn't know what I was talking about.

When LSD was beginning to get to psychologists and the like it was known as Psychotomimetic, mimicking states of psychosis, "be your patient for six hours.".  That said, to be in your mind ain't that far out of idea. You have yourself in state of mental psychosis.

And this God trip, man, that a egotistical philosophical debate to use and reign as superior to others. You crying out over and over, 'i don't want to be God,' and such is really not saying anything other than some mantra of yours now it seems.

What is your idea to what this God is?  One who created all this of earth and life we see?  Then, don't worry, you don't need be God. Jon already done. Relax.

You don't have to be God.

Let's say you were to start playing the role of God, what do you need do to begin?

this uh, "predicament", reminds me of a silly thingamajig...uhh...possibly helpful to OP (hopefully).

It goes...

Question:

Imagine a duck in a glass bottle.
The neck of the bottle is too small to allow the duck through.
The bottle is perfectly formed and has no trick bottoms or other openings.

How do you get the duck out of the bottle without damaging either the duck or the bottle?

Answer: You imagined the duck in the bottle, so just imagine the duck out of the bottle. :cookiemonster:

It's so simple. 
But hey there you go. :lol: :shrug:

In other words, if Pinky is stressing partly due to imagining himself to being stuck in the role of an imaginary super character of sorts, aka, a god of sorts (whatever that is), then he can also simply imagine himself...free.

@the blind ass
you are proscribing magical obsession.
stop it!
resistance and attraction are the same with associative linkage.

what does one consider drugs?

caffeine is a drug, do you consume caffeine?

sorry if this is a bit "nit picky" but I am just curious because I have seen people say they don't do drugs while vaping or smoking a cigarette which seems strange.

...possibly 'drugs' that cause the consciousness expansion...??

I feel it too.  Anything that is psychedelic in its effects just causes an expansion into chaos!

I do not want to be God man. Release me. :sad: I cannot be bothered to suffer for an unknown period.

Unless of course I get some perks/power up's or become happy or the intrusive/running toughts stop. I have been slaving for the last 10 years and see no real progress.

no deals available, no warranty
you are what you are
just do the thing of getting in the moment relaxing and not shaming/damning/deriding or being critical of your self.

breathe

I get intrusive thoughts from meditation. :shrug:

begin again
I do not do counting,
I use beginning middle end,
I don't think counting is working for you,
say mentally to yourself "beginning" at the beginning of the in-breath, then "middle" at the middle, and "end" at the end, approximately is good enough (there is no exact middle to speak of).
then  "beginning" at the beginning of the out-breath, then "middle" at the middle, and "end" at the end of the out breath, and repeat for each breath following
pay attention to that primarily and note any other mental contents but keep up the breath following for the duration of the practice.
if you are distracted by intrusive thoughts begin again, without complaint.

Which means I have to take deep breaths, right?

Else I have no chance of making it.

normal relaxed breathing
sitting comfortably
if not half lotus, then crosslegged, if not crosslegged then in a chair, if not in a chair then lying down flat, if not flat then on your side.

This is so frustrating. I do not even want to do the meditation-stuff. I would rather stay in my bed all day consuming drugs and listening to music.
