Thankyou very, very much Alex. That was very helpful.
"Nacho I've read many of your post with interest and wonder if you could allow yourself to be less critical of your experiences? You seem to be judging many of your experiences as bad when it's only thinking so that makes it so and it throws you into a loop of getting more of the same. We need to bring more of the emptiness with us into our outer world and one of the things that the emptiness is, is non-judgemental accepting of what is."
I don't think I've ever called any of my experiences "bad" as you put it. I've definitely got stressed out from time to time, but if you think that automatically means I'm looking at things from a negative angle then you've completely misunderstood me. However, that doesn't mean I look at all things from a positive angle either, and I don't. I try to be objective as possible for each event I come across, drawing my own rational conclusions that don't involve the whole world being against me. Of course, when I can't come up with a good reason or explanation I come to you guys. And frankly, I'm a little insulted at the amount of people who have tried giving me advice on my emotional state instead of just answering my question straight-up. There not helpful, and at times strike me as very arrogant.
Seriously, just because I don't post the same cookie-cutter response or topic involving how positively great things are going that shouldn't mean I'm harming myself with bad feelings. Hasn't anyone ever heard of being neutral? Master Lin teaches it in his book.
Well, anyway, that ends my little rant.. for now. I do mean for now because there is a lot of **** on this board that has been bugging me for a while now.
