That’s alright and understandable. I should not expect anything to be the same. I think I am going to stop trying to drag people onto the path to ultimate reality who are not perpetually befuddled by existence. Still, I must recommend mindfulness and meditation. You can do the other practices without fully understanding it, but honestly just note sensations and watch them pass.

Currently being mindful of my RSD at this sensical event and y’know? It’s not too bad.
As a youth I somehow randomly found out about it in the last month in the midst of a Buddhism rabbit hole.
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.

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.
Not doomer, I’m happy for you! :3 Based on your description your feelings are totally understandable and alright, but it sounds like you should indeed reconnect if they meant what they said. Wishing you luck!
