Lack of sleep result in low energy and a general more primitive view of life and negative emotions, like depression, anxiety etc. Awakening to Reality starts with self inquiry and a doubtless sense of being as the first stage. Getting there requires lots of work.

Depressing news from the Buddhists lately: There is no self Global nuclear war in the future Etc etc.

Not only therapy, but many other methods, eg Energy healing Kiloby inquiries Methods like Core Transformation, Sedona Method, Release Technique Etc etc. Just sitting is not enough to release unconscious stuff. Scott Kiloby mentioned in one of his talks that the reason people fail to recognize the nature of mind is due to trauma which fires automatic reactions that cloud the system.

I like this one better, more accurate description of what is happening. The reason no one can predict what is happening, is because what is taking place is a dance of probabilities.

If what you are saying is true, we could predict the future with 100% accuracy. Since we cannot do that, what you are saying must be false. Everything hasn't already happened. It just happens one event after another. https://sravastiabbey.org/karma-predestination/

My experience is there is good and and bad in the world, and it is foolish to abandon those ideas. Some non-dualists go too far. From "Approaching the Great Perfection" by Sam van Schaik. Likely some non-dualists read such texts, misunderstand them and then spread misinformation on the internet.

From 'Eye of the storm' by Keith Dowman

My experience is you can get it from youtube recordings (eg Garchen Buddhist Institute) but maybe better live from a lama.

The light gets attacked by the dark all the time. There is no choice involved. If one has the awareness one can stop the attack and progress to a higher level of peace.

Why not just wait? There is no rush getting to where you already are. The impatience is part of the self that wants results right now but that actually has to go to see what is already the case.

Eliminate desire is a bad strategy, without desire you are dead and have no energy due to shutting down your own system, suppression and repression. Eliminate grasping instead. Desire is natural, just look at life changing all the time. Edit: See what Buddhism says about desire https://www.buddhanet.net/4noble13.htm

Energy healing can do it. One of energies I have access to is a energy / consciousness that make it feel safe / more open to feel emotions, as if you are much bigger than the emotion, so no matter the intensity of the emotion you are always capable of containing it. Thus you can release it so easily compared to all the various meditation techniques I have tried. Basically you are accessing a higher state of consciousness than the state your current system can handle, so basically you are upgrading yourself that way.

Level two and three are in the first Kunlun book.

Could be, let's say suppressed sexuality, healing that makes you like a wild animal. My experience.

Shadow self is just an energetic block, heal it and it becomes integrated. We don't need a philosophy on top of it IMHO.

Buddhism for some seems like a cult 'don't criticize the leader, don't think for yourself' The endless spamming of non Buddhist threads on how wonderful buddhism is is like watching Christians advocate Christianity? For me there is more to life. Relationships, male identity, passions like interests, hobbies some of which can help overcome suffering not just what Buddhism thinks of suffering. Eg say having no career that fullfills you can generate lots of suffering and steering you towards a more fulfilling life where you use your skills will decrease suffering and increase life satisfaction. The philosophy tends to attract people who think like kids, that life is just about Buddhism, like kids thinking life is just about playing games. Very shallow? Too much pop psychology and too little using your own intelligence and internal compass.

Something for me and most likely others here https://www.shinzen.org/how-to-be-comfortable-with-everyone/

In terms of efficiency and cost psychotherapy is pretty bad. 150 eur per hour and how many hours do you need? 10-20? Compared to cheap energetic transmissions for healing methods I have already provided a few times, approx 10 eur for a lifetime of healing.

Bak Fu Sunn Yee Gong level 1 can replenish jing and is authentic and very easy compared to neidan methods in my humble opinion.

I did approx a year of standing an hour a day. I farted a lot 😊

There's also the fact that other systems use breathing sequences also, eg Bak fu Sunn yee gong. A breathing sequence can look like a fp breathing sequence but the energy will be something different. Very mysterious 😊
