Detaching From Life And Unclingness From The World And Survival Instinct. by fredwill1357(m): 7:06pm On Aug 03 |
Since I was a kid, I have always wondered what life was all about, at the age of 8 I was already contemplating suicide, I would go to the kitchen pick up a knife and at the end of the day, the potential pain was what stopped me. I am from more of a middle class family The world to me is more like a vast train or object of transportation moving a large number of people to an unknown, forgotten or guessed location, and then suddenly it stops, perhaps for a break, repair, nobody knows for sure. People start trooping down from the vast vehicle, and then soon enough majority of them start building castles, palaces, mansions, wealth vaults, e.t.c. They are so engrossed and desperately serious with this that they are willing to harm each other, harm themselves, harm other beings and environment they found themselves in. One would begin to wonder if this people have forgotten they are on transit, in a temporal location. Those who do not join the trend are called stupid, lazy, immatured, depressed, mad. The big question is to what end? Even if I become the most powerful and richest person in the world, ruler of nations. What is the point to all this, get worshipped and feared by people, have as much sex mates as you want, eat any food you want, travel the world. This things aren't necessarily bad, but are they worth it? Compared to the potential horrors and sufferings in the world, the pain of terrible accidents, being ravaged by terrible diseases, the struggles and problems of everyday life, boredom, ailments of old age, e.t.c. The saddest part for me is that people keep on propagating this madness, the pains babies and humans go through during their birth, their lifetime and death. When we propagate life, we propagate sufferings, wars, human diseases, problems and death. This things go hand in hand with life, and the only way to end all sufferings is to end life itself. DETACHING PROCESS NEXT. |

DETACHING I noticed we find it hard to un cling from life, even when we see the pointlessness. Many people have gone through this phase including me, as I became an adult, I found out that pain is no longer the only thing keeping me from death. Desires and attachments, pleasures of the world are also big factors. Halt all sexual activities and keep sexual thoughts out of your mind for six months to one year, abstain from all sensual pleasures and intoxication of all kinds, be sober. Stop cooking with Maggi and other unnatural seasonings, cook only with salt because of iodine, vegetable oils, olive oil preferably, herbs and leafy vegetables, tomato fruits, cucumber, garden egg. Packaged dried natural herbs and spices is okay, avoid pepper, except in very low amounts. Strictly stay away from consumption of animals, including shrimps and other sea foods. Fast once in a week or twice in a month if you can, drinking only water or with leafy vegetables is also okay. Eat only grains, whole grains preferably, legumes and beans. No fried foods, not even fried oil, stew or soup. Do not spend most of your free time playing action or arcade games. Spend it meditating, acquiring knowledge and wisdom, solitude, growing mentally and spiritually. If you want to play games, play mind enhancing games like sudoku, chess, investigations, puzzles, e.t.c. You need to detach even from family members, partners, friends and all emotions and desires. Even love is an attachment, love no one, hate no one either. This doesn't stop you from doing good or helping people. Transcend all emotions and desires, even saving the world is an attachment, the world does not need saving, as people live their lives and reincarnate, those who want salvation will eventually gain enough wisdom, knowledge and power to save themselves, if you try to save a people that are not ready or does not want to be saved, they will spit on you like they did to those before you. This doesn't mean you shouldn't try to make the world a better place, but don't get overly attached to it or your headache. Do this for six months to 1 year and see the result for yourself, you can then decide to live like this through out your days in this world. You would find the emptiness of life glaring, your survival instinct will reduce, dying or exiting this world will become easier and less scary. You will find it easier to live uprightly, you will gain more clarity and strength, mentally, physically and spiritually. Thank you for reading, hope you transcend our severely flawed prison existence. If you cannot do this for at least six months to one year and you wish to un cling from life, do not blame your clinginess on survival instinct or being used to life. You simply haven't yet conquered yourself and the pleasures of the world. 1 Like |

TheSourcerer:Thank you, read it some days ago on your profile before now, and also on Wikipedia when I looked up Lao Tzu. I think it is not over trying or not using force. We try everyday and we should, but we should keep balance not to over do or over try. |
