Speech 7: The Art of Self-Questioning and Choosing What Truly Matters

Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed guests,

As we continue our journey of self-discovery and the pursuit of authenticity, let us embark on a new exploration—one that involves questioning ourselves deeply and consciously choosing what truly matters in our lives. In this age of information overload and constant distraction, it is essential that we learn to discern what is worth our time and energy. To guide us in this endeavor, I offer you five fundamental questions to ponder:

Can I control the outcome? In a world filled with uncertainties, it's vital to distinguish between the things we can influence and those beyond our control. Focusing our energy on what we can change empowers us to make a real difference in our lives and the lives of others.

Does it add good problems to my life? Often, we are tempted by immediate gratification without considering the long-term consequences. Instead of seeking only comfort, we should embrace challenges that lead to personal growth and fulfillment. The pursuit of good problems can enrich our lives in ways we may not have imagined.

Does it help myself and/or others? Our actions and choices should contribute positively to our own well-being and the well-being of those around us. Consider the impact of your decisions on your own life and the broader community. Strive for a balance that uplifts both yourself and others.

Why do these emotions exist? Emotions are a window into our inner world. Rather than suppressing or being controlled by them, we should explore their origins and meanings. Understanding our emotions allows us to navigate life with greater wisdom and empathy.

Where does this incessant need for attention come from? In our interconnected world, the pursuit of attention has become a prevalent drive. It is crucial to examine the root of this need and question whether it aligns with our true values and desires. True fulfillment often arises from genuine connection rather than superficial attention.

Now, let us contemplate the paradox of seeking more positive experiences. The desire for constant positivity can itself become a negative experience, leading to dissatisfaction and anxiety. However, accepting our negative experiences, acknowledging them without judgment, can be a profoundly positive experience. By facing our challenges head-on, we gain resilience and insight, freeing ourselves from the grip of fleeting emotions. Moreover, we must recognize our natural tendency to project our beliefs and values onto others unconsciously. We often assume that others think and feel as we do, which can lead to misunderstandings and conflicts. To break free from this pattern, we must learn to empathize with diverse perspectives and engage in open-minded dialogue.In conclusion, my esteemed audience, the art of self-questioning and consciously choosing what truly matters is a lifelong journey. By contemplating these five questions and embracing the paradox of positive and negative experiences, we can liberate ourselves from the chains of mindless distraction and lead a life guided by intention and authenticity.May each of you find the courage to explore your inner landscape, make deliberate choices, and cultivate meaningful connections with others. Thank you for your attention. 🌟🤔🌱🌟🤔🌱🌟🤔🌱🌟🤔🌱

Don’t let how you feel, make you forget, what you deserve.

[shmegged]

Feel like shit and nothing seems to comfort me.

Feeling incredibly alone in life and the intrusive thoughts just need to cool it. The flashback need to just take a break. I’m living in constant fear that is controlling my life.

I know it’ll pass. I know I’m capable, strong and resilient but fuck your mind is a powerful thing.

I feel myself being someone I’m not. Pushing people away, because I get overwhelmed by a simple task. My whole body tells me to hide and be alone bc then no one can see my pain. No one can comment on being negative or that what I’m feeling isn’t real. I don’t want someone to disorient my reality.

I don’t want to worry my family. I have to be strong for everyone when I’m constantly for the last three weeks forcing my interactions, personality and facial expressions, essentially masking, so that I appear “normal”. I’m exhausted and I can tell my parents see the shift and every time they give me a hung and tell me they love me I just want to breakdown in their arms.

I didn’t sign up for the emotionally abuse this once close person did to me. I couldn’t see it when it was all happening but I keep realizing the abuse, the tactics used, and though I’m happy to realize them now periodically; it just breaks my heart because I never deserved that, no one does. I feel like he took all the sparkle I had and left me with his self hatred, anger issues and conditioned me to gaslight myself.

My parts are so polarized and this all happened because I saw you in my pre-visual vision three weeks ago at target. I’m not broken, but I feel so fucked up. I’m moved on and want nothing to do with you but yet your demons and narcissistic personality still control me. I don’t know how to get rid of them though I know healing is a process I just can’t cope. I just want to feel safe, and confident in myself again. Fuck you for taking my compassion and empathy for you personal twisted sick game.

Whatever I observe

Are reflections within me (my consciousness substance beingness)

This aware substance that I am is both receptive & responsive

It is deformable/transformable within itself and knows- is aware of its deformation/transformations*

*(I did not say the Absolute/beyond/unsayable is substantial/transformable - I said the reflected consciousness- being/existence - is subtly substance-like - it is knowing/knowledge/knowableness - the ability to Know)

Sometimes knowings are ripple-like waves flowing through being

Sometimes the knowings are tidal-wave & tsunami-like in intensity

You cannot steer a boat within such turbulence

Tossed & turned & capsized you will be

All that remains is to be as the knower

Of the storms that pass through

Without drowning within the intensity

You don't have to be sorry for leaving and growing up" //"One morning this sadness will fossilize and I will forget how to cry. I'll keep going to work and you won't see a change, save perhaps a slight gray in my eye"//"Emotional loneliness is so distressing that a child who experiences it will do whatever is necessary to make some kind of connection with the parent."

Emotional blind spots.

Emotional blind spots refer to areas in our emotional landscape where we may lack self-awareness or understanding. These blind spots can prevent us from recognizing, processing, or effectively dealing with certain emotions or aspects of our emotional lives. They can manifest in various ways:

Repression: Certain emotions or experiences may be repressed or pushed into the subconscious due to discomfort or fear.

Denial: People might deny certain emotions exist within them, especially if those emotions are perceived as negative or conflicting with their self-image.

Projection: Sometimes, we project our own unresolved emotions onto others, attributing those feelings to them instead of recognizing them within ourselves.

Rationalization: We may rationalize or intellectualize our emotions, dismissing or explaining them away rather than truly acknowledging and addressing them.

Overcompensation: In an attempt to avoid confronting uncomfortable emotions, some individuals may overcompensate by adopting certain behaviours or attitudes to mask or distract from their true feelings.

Cognitive biases: Our cognitive biases can create blind spots, influencing how we perceive and interpret emotional stimuli.

Addressing emotional blind spots typically involves developing self-awareness through introspection, therapy, or feedback from trusted individuals. It requires a willingness to explore uncomfortable emotions and experiences and a commitment to honesty and vulnerability with oneself. By shining a light on these blind spots, individuals can better understand themselves and improve their emotional well-being and relationships. I have high alexithymic traits. So don't be so hard on yourself.

Emotional Expression

Emotional expression is a powerful tool when used correctly. However, it is also easy to let it get out of control and make your decisions for you, to blind you from reason and logic. When I speak of control, I mean that you must learn to control your emotions and your attachment. Allow them, do not let yourself become controlled by them. Allow yourself to be passionate, be creative, and express yourself for the galaxy to see, but do not let it control your actions or cloud your vision.

The Iceberg Within: Unmasking our deeper emotions

The sinking of the Titanic in 1912 remains one of the most infamous maritime disasters in history. Interestingly, the tragedy also offers an apt analogy for understanding certain aspects of human emotions and feelings, particularly when it comes to the concept of an iceberg. The iceberg analogy provides a thought-provoking framework for understanding human emotions and the masks we often wear…
