There is always desire to be something more within human. Usually it manifest itself trough materialistic ways, sexual ways, trough drugs or parenthood example. It is endless chasing, rat-race that leads nowhere but keeps you busy trough own creation that people calls as life.
We can't remember our time as toddlers because we didn't exist in that time. We had no identity. Only when years has gone while we gathered data from our environment we created identity. When we have our identity, we decide what matters to us. Then we experience impulsive feelings when things didn't go as we wanted.
We are piece of life that creates own image and plays it (Genesis 1:27 So God created man in His own image). We get so tangled to our own creation that it can kill us and bring us into hell. We think that something or someone causes our misery even when we alone create everything within.
We have all this mysterious desire to do something, be something more. It usually manifest itself trough sexual ways, materialistic ways, trough parenthood, dating, drugs, games, food, alcohol.. you name it. Trough that it leads nowhere, it keeps us happy for a moment and then we need more. So where we are now? We are piece of life that want to experience bigger part of it. Trough physical ways it finds not that part and when that need to expand finds no expression we create this pain within. So what to do? This is what meditation is all about. We wan't to think nothing, be nothing because that is just the data we gathered from the physical and created self from it. When we learn to be still, just be as piece of life, something start to happen that seems to expand you into everywhere. It seems to that consciousness, awareness is the basic that exist and everything else it is manifest of it.
What ((they)) wan't is to bind us more and more into physical, sins, into that rat-race i wrote about above, so that we wouldn't learn or even think about this.
i already peaked by meditating on nothingness when i was a kid tried to imagine what nothingness was like after a while it felt like something exploded in my head ive been picking up the pieces from that experience ever since

after that void you start to experience stuff that is terrifying, mind boggling, amazing and liberating
after you have tasted that and you can't get there for some reason anymore, it will fuck you up
Hudson Roberts
when that need to expand finds no expression we create this pain within.

>after that void you start to experience stuff that is terrifying
That's an understatement. Sometimes the sensations I feel make me want to disappear. The simple act of existing can be so intensely horrifying.

Reminds me of Schopenhauer "On the Sufferings of the World" and his idea of the will. It is boundless and inescapable.
But post this on /lit/ not here.

You might actually like /lit/ more than Jow Forums because it encourages you to do more than tell different flags what you think of their various nations.

yes, all fear are about losing something. Fear is just the body part of you trying to take control

Wants and desires are just parts of greed, and greed is a part of human nature that got us where we are as a species.
Christopher Cox
It's one thing to be aware of such sentiments and another to see them fail in the face of the actual experience. You still have to let the fear wash over you before it can dissipate.

Intelligence is a scale of dimensional thinking. Most think in 2d we call them small minded. Some thing in 3d in that their mental imagery considers much more as volume is added by the extra coordinate when building a mental image. The intelligent can think in 4d and that's another coordinate and even more complexity and so on. There is a reason why for many abstract ideas are incomprehensible like a 2d being coming into contact with a 3d being that it simply can not comprehend it's entire nature but see only what it can from its 2d perspective. The same applies to the 3d and the 4d being. It is another level of thought.
The expanding mind meme is real.It's really just an extra dimension of thought that brings about a new perspective. It's the reason why math seems incomprehensible to others spacial reasoning is everything.

i dont know, i dont think you understand what we are talking about, it's not mind as an inteligence, it is awareness that seem to expand. I am same person in that state, but awareness is growing endlessly. Or then i understood you wrong, yes i think there is also these "leves" of inteligence too, but these two are not same thing
Alexander Johnson
It is the same thing self awareness is taking the self into greater account when thinking about the world and your place in it. To be ever more self ware you must be ever more intelligent and to imagine every more abstract and complex thoughts.
