'Anxiety' Articles
Reward anticipate anxious, or suffering impending anxious? They are both the same, and ultimately negative.
Notice how anxious and stressed everyone is? About everything it seems. They will make it up if nothing is immediately brought to mind. I was working on my purposing habit earlier. The mind to be properly engaged needs problems, but purposing is neural inhibition from being over focused on a goal. Research show that being over focused on any activity actually inhibits performance, even in very natural things like eating or sex. Male impotence is most often caused by performance anxiety. It causes the heart to race and nervous defence behaviour to kick in. None of which have anything to do with the act.
This is what people are doing when they worry chronically. There have been studies of the problem solving abilities of worriers versus non worriers. They were selected to have comparable IQs all roughly on the same level. The worriers were notably less capable.
Truth is a fun exercise, and you know the degree to which you are seeing truth. Life is self fulfilling as they say. Truth sets you free. To the degree that you feel you cannot live, you have deviated from truth.
“Worry is a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind. If encouraged, it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained.” Arthur Somers Roche
Anxious Faith
You never solve a problem with the awareness that it is a problem. As a matter of fact, it’s often that awareness that helps create that problem in the first place. It’s a pretty common state of mind and therefore people don’t take it seriously as a problem. This is why people with clinical anxiety disorders are typically very embarrassed about their issues. Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is actually an outgrowth of anxiety. As I was saying, we can’t solve a problem with the same awareness that brought us to it. So for those who are overly anxious they tend… Seek More
Heresy of Acting
Alan watts said society tells us what we ‘must’ be, and we ‘must’ be it voluntarily. That compulsory volunteer. They define tyranny as anything not forbidden being mandatory. Our freedom is just tyranny with the weight of moralism behind it. Japan has a very low crime rate, but a very high instance of self destructive behaviour. They are free like us, just more honest about it. Here we have this wonderful delusion that makes us turn our anxieties outward. Are we having fun yet? Are we supposed to be having fun? Oh yes, it’s mandatory. For some accountability was obscure… Seek More
Jump into the Abyss
Suppression for the common good. Abstinence makes the heart grow colder. Makes it grow downright dead. I often speak of how I feel alone, and people usually just dismiss it as more drama, as my anxiety. No, it’s just my experience. I can see this pattern of communication and reaction. The initial action even comes from a dead source and institution that has no purpose but to enrich its head, be that government or business. There isn’t actually any thought. Dollar bills don’t think, nor do people whose sole purpose in life is to gain dollar bills. So everywhere I… Seek More
Language of Fear
Life is communication. I don’t speak the language, so I have had to pantomime. People aren’t very observant, or they choose not to see or hear. Poor choice. I’m often pointing out a self destruct. If there isn’t any danger then I let them move about as they have not chosen to do. I let people believe what they choose or didn’t choose really. They defend that non choice quite viciously, and I’m only semi masochistic. Getting lost in debates is very human, and they are usually internal. So let’s be animals. I like that. No debate, no controversy, just… Seek More
Don’t Worry, Imagine
Anxiety is a very real force, and it destroys things in our lives. You cannot solve a problem in the same state of mind that you become aware of it in. It’s that state of mind that gave rise to it. Has anyone had anxiousness ever help them deal with anything? Did it help, or did it just not stop you? Focus isn’t anxiety. If you want a clean house, you don’t get anxious about your cleaning do you? I suspect you just experience a need to clean. Do you debate whether or not you should clean, or feel like… Seek More
Questions from Questing
Questions come from quest, from seeking, not identifying what we disengage from and don’t believe in. We question based on what we believe might be true. Perhaps we know nothing at all, and all our knowing is just self expression. Does that invalidate it? I would put forth that there is no reality in an absolute sense, but there is a virtual reality. It is our imaginations. When we imagine a negative, we create it. When we imagine enemies, we become one. These are very real. When you break something down without a sense of its center, you wind up… Seek More
See Yourself
There is no them, and since there is no them why not get a better image of us? Why even think over long on the idea of there being no them? There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who think there are two kinds of people, and those who don’t. There is a third. Ones who don’t think on that question at all. I prefer to see myself. I am quite narcissistic that way. It makes my life better, and I’m quite hooked on self knowledge. I always see myself. If arguing with another, I see myself. If… Seek More
