Emotional or Metaphysical Barrier 11/04/20 (Wed) 07:58:10 No.137897

Whether this is fringe material or not I don't know. I haven't been on this board or this site since before the rehost. Forgive the blog post.

What could possibly "hold someone back"? is there an actual, knowable amount of power someone can hold? Or is it just a feeling one can have, like a yearning for or belonging to some other form of yourself?

I feel like I've been stunted by something since adolescence. It seems as though wherever or whoever I feel I am in life never seems to be what it should be, like I need to make changes in my style of living to feel harmonized.

6 years ago I had a "psychotic break" so to speak, but I've had this daemon prior to that period. During that time I found this board, and I believe the solace I found here gave be the stability I needed to recover.

Is this something you would be willing to advise me on?

For me it's a lack of meaningful socialization holding me back and also a lot of issues that just take a lot of time to heal. Every year looking back I make ridiculous amounts of progress in everything but still there's some things I can't even get my foot in the door so to speak.

sunyata of buddhism and eugine gendlin's focusing have me helped me with this. also less time on the net. it seems the dopaminergic loop created by constantly checking the net creates some kind of cognitive wall whereby if i dont get my feed i cant function - but when in this loop im not functioning properly either - its only by getting out of this loop was i able to put the prior practices in to action as all of a sudden i could think in a straight line in some sense.

I feel the same about how I see myself progressing. There's intangible parts of my understanding I can feel becoming stronger, I feel more perceptive but it seems I've plateaued in the things the average person might strive for.

I'll be sure to read Focusing, and read into Sunyata. The internet has definitely been designed, unintentionally or intentionally (in the case of social media), to induce a dopamine response in the brain, and create a feedback loop in the user's mind. I see this in a childhood friend I've had for a long time. He thinks only in what he parrots from the Jewtube videos he watches, his entire cognition is through Fecebook memes and top 10 videos.

Porn especially is a perpetrator of this phenomenon, my worst habit.
