I would suggest you to do the 48 min binaural/hypnosis as well, although it seems new age-y with the title, it probably has some scientific basis. I'm quite sure it's very good for emotions. But I am just speculating. It's very nice and relaxing and I think you will like it. It's important that we use every tool available to us to recondition our minds to be more in line with reality, logic, rationality and so on.
I'm unsure to what extent you used System 2 emotionally (visualization and so on), rather than System 1 and System 2 sub-vocalization. Sub-vocalization and thinking does not resonate as well as visualizing images, touch, smell, taste and other more primitive things.
Yeah, you probably have quite a strong emotional connection to it, as well as many others here. Remember also how it's defined in this context: The consistent patterns which bring about reality. Also includes probabilities.
Yeah.
I'm unsure why you would think, based on what was said on that step, that you're submitting yourself to a higher power and it's "personal Lord and Savior" stuff. Well I do understand why, it seems like a religion, and that's exactly key, but maybe you exaggerate it a little bit. It's funny though. By submitting yourself to inductive reasoning, probabilistic nature of things, and of course, the consistent patterns that bring you about and realizing experience is a tool rather then a goal, you have mastered the Way. There is nothing more, nothing less, it's just how it is.
That's not a part of the steps.
I'm glad it's making sense, based on the comments here, I was becoming worried that a lot of people were not able to let aside their preconditioned beliefs.
That's what we have seen so far. People really notice something have changed. Of course those with physiological/neurochemical imbalances or whatever won't be cured but they will probably have an easier time to work out how to solve their problems with our species current literature.
None of the things mentioned is exclusively rooted in biology. Regarding periods I remember one woman who reported having an easier time dealing with the emotional swings that come with it by for example studying hormonal effects on emotion/cognition. The knowledge becomes applicable naturally.
Of course you will think for yourself, and logic will simply be a guide through life. It does sound too good to be true, there is no understatement to the paradigm shift of a religious experience.
That's the word for the paradigm shift. There's not enough statistics and science to conclude if it is the case, however anecdotal reports have offered a perspective.
Because our understanding of QM and neuroscience gives us the same conclusion, while still being right and in line.
It's not as if these things were made up beforehand, people were helped and it is worthwhile to mention. 23 hits of "social anxiety" 29 of "depress" and 12 of "drug" https://logicnation.org/Testimonies although it might be not representative since some might use the words in different contexts or multiple times.
If you said may instead of will it wouldn't set off the alarm bells. "Will" is a promise. If what you mean is "other people have reported experiencing these effects", I'd recommend saying that instead. The list of "you will" points looks like advertising at best and culty at worst.
Honestly ingive, there's not a massive amount wrong with what you're saying that I can see, except that it's all dressed up to the nines in se... (read more)
