There is this idea well what ought I do about my new found belief but you know this is false. There is no I to do anything. Not really.

I guess that this whole existential crisis happens when you become self conscious. You know wait I'm here. What should I do? What am I?

Like the movie the matrix reality as it seems to be is completely false. We are a dream of a sort. An illusion.

My notes for dealing with my OCD aren't ever going to change because as long as I'm alive the experience of beauty and choice and righteousness will remain.

So naturally what's useful to me is to accept these as part of my experience though logically I understand they aren't real.
I could say well I choose not to solve but then I make that decision because I want to be healthy and that wanting to be healthy is an innate desire. It's natural.
So I see ultimately we do what we must do. We are as a human being a collection of experiences rather than this being we imagine ourselves to be.

NEVER. Illusion survives only in a state of confusion, and in confusion understanding is not.
If I don't see clearly, naturally I see more than one course of action.so then I choose.
But in the crystal-clear direct perception, there is nothing to choose from.
Drinking alcohol is not an illusion, but Tom doesn't 'watch' that. His watching is selective, avoiding to look at uncomfortable things.
Nobody can help anybody. This myth was sustained by the major religions for millennia.
Huh?
Bump or not , this thread is well worth a read.The OP launched a thread which with hindsight pushes the majority of current threads in "off topic" rightly into the realms of total obscurity (hopefully!).
The various views and discussion of the contributors on various topics coupled with subjective analyses is quite refreshing.
Tom hopefully we will be welcoming you back soon.In the meantime stay safe bro👍
Sure
