Btw this is mindfulness but whole-er. I extrapolate from my experience and what I’ve heard that other autists would see through the absurd contradiction in the mainstream suggestion that some thoughts belong to the self and others do not.

I will interest trade you reading Nevada for practicing insight.

Insight practiceshttps://www.mctb.org/ https://youtu.be/GYAremovedgbbM (I pirated this guy’s book on Anna’s archive) I also listened to a lot of Revolutionary Left Radio on Buddhism. I have read way to much about Buddhism but honestly it’s not necessary. I took “thoughts aren’t you” seriously first when Breht explained his OCD. I turned it into an OCD thing crushing every thought that implied it was me due to black and white thinking. Now I can see through that mechanism as also not me and my relationship to thoughts is better.

Essentially pay attention in daily life to the three characteristics of all things: impermanence, non-self, and suffering. Pay attention to bare sensations stripped of ideas imposed upon them (though those can also be analyzed with the senses). Pay attention to that which appears to be “you” conscious that it can’t be you because it is temporary and you cannot see yourself temporarily.

Also gotta recommend daily vipassana and nothing/open awareness meditation.

There are some risks which are mentioned in the sources but if you’re like me you have more to gain than lose. There is a “safer” slower route going concentration first, but with ADHD insight first is probably better (sense/attention sensitivity is a bonus tbh). If you awaken the after glow can help you actually learn the concentration stuff, which is cool.

Why the fuck even call it communist at this point?

‘The Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions.’

Disidentifying from my thoughts has helped. It leaves me wanting something to identify with and finding nothing, but I’ll be fine. There is a mechanism that keeps catching RSD in the act and disengaging.

All feelings are temporary, it is silly to have a goal to always feel a specific way. Happiness is a construct that includes a variety of feelings anyway that are still unsatisfactory. That said you can structure your life and mind to make feelings you like happen more often.

Real. While I could see one accidentally adopting gender rules rigidly, I imagine to most autists would think transmedicalism sounds absurd.

All things are impermanent. Personally I have given up contemplating gender and sexuality for now but I may resume again at any time.

I read in a book on autism that some explicitly call this correlation “autism gender.” I have a few explanations. We socially present and are perceived as different no matter what and therefore often do not fit neatly into at least consciously into the default. If we take the time to investigate our feelings surrounding the subject we see quickly that the ideas imposed by neurotypical society about “gender” are inaccurate (bottom up vs top down thinking). Of course it could also be the case that are brains are extra “weird” and the sensory information we take to be the basis of our ideas are actually notably different than cis people (“inherent gender” or whatever).

My state is of investigation of general sensations with emphasis on the “internal” ones. Once clarity is increased with those in addition to the development of other things I will be better prepared to return to this investigation. Honestly I only get more in awe of this absurd existence being of and among gross hairless apes in an absurd society and gender seems like a secondary question.

What’s up guys! Returned I have from a moon logged off. It was pretty nice. I read a lot about Buddhism and completed my first insight cycled. Going to try to not let this place re-embolden my executive dysfunction, but it’s nice to be back. How are y’all doing? Currently kind of contented and tired. I miss being able to cry.

thonk I always feel like Thai is a scam for its excessive rice and noodles (flavor and nutritional valueless). Refrying it with a bunch of vegetables is pretty awesome tho.
