Consuming Spiritual Content Won't Save You

...unless?

Reminder for the "meditation curious" or "spiritual but not religious" folks:

You can read all the spiritual books and shitposts in the world and stay completely stuck spiritually.

I’ll explain with cuck chairs:

In reality there are two realms: the material (~external) and the nonmaterial (~internal)

Things in the material: tables, cuck chairs, pants

Things in the nonmaterial: thoughts, emotions, experiences

Both equally "real"

BUT:

I can show you material things. I show you my favorite cuck chair, and you see it:

this is my favorite cuck chair at the moment

I cannot show you nonmaterial things.

I cannot convey the internal experience I have while sitting in my favorite cuck chair (ecstasy).

Best I can do is use a word (ecstasy) to try and convey the feeling. But the word is a map and the map is not the territory.

No matter how many words I sling at you, you will never ever know my experience of my favorite cuck chair. This is a great sorrow.

Even worse:

I will never know your experience of my favorite cuck chair, should you choose to sit in it (you’re more than welcome to).

These experiences are internal and nonmaterial.

Of course, we could say that when I sit in my favorite cuck chair my brain lights up like a Christmas tree being lit on fire.

Electrical signals in the brain are material. However, electrical signals in the brain =/= an experience. They might point to an experience, but if we’re talkin’ electricity we’re still talkin’ material, external; we’re still talkin’ maps. Which ain’t the territory.

The experience itself remains nonmaterial. Can’t directly see it, can’t measure it.

There is a lot going on in the material plane. More cuck chairs than cucks! And ants, and atoms and pairs of pants. An Earth, a Milky Way, a whole universe.

There is as much going on in the nonmaterial plane. A whole universe of things exist on that side. The side of internal experience.

The broke news: I cannot show these things to you in a real way. Just like I can't port my experience of my favorite cuck chair into your conscious awareness.

The woke news: You already have everything you need to explore the nonmaterial. You can sit in the cuck chair yourself. You can mine the depths; they are available right here and right now and at all moments.

The bespoke news: You don’t have to explore the nonmaterial. Truly. It’s just there. There are certain gifts it has to offer, just as the material has certain gifts and opportunities. If you feel compelled to move in that direction, then by all means. But there’s no need to stress about it.

If you find it interesting, keep consuming media about spirituality. It can help inspire action.

But remember:

No one on this earth can give you spiritual development.

You can’t receive it from the external. You can only access it internally.

You could read posts like this for a lifetime and get nowhere if they don’t inspire you to practice and explore for yourself.

There's no need to rush. I hope this resonates with you. If you've been wondering for a long time wtf all these sages were writing about, what they saw, you should know that you can see it too. But you have to do it. Nobody can do it for you. But you can do it.

Idk I wish someone had spelled it out for me like this sooner. If you find this stuff interesting to read about that's great. But you won't See anything by just reading.

The obvious question: if reading doesn't work, what does?

The answer is boring and wack. The same ol shit you heard time and time again.

But the money ain’t in knowing an answer. Knowing is .00001% of the picture. It’s in applying the answer. Can't go wrong with choosing any flavor of the following categories:

1. Breathwork/Pranayam

2. Yoga/Taichi

3. Meditation

The first two are for calming your body/mind/energy.

Then, when you go sit down in the cuck chair to… meditate.., the body/mind/energy will be quieter and not send a bunch of signals about your legs hurting and whatnot. Meditation is the vehicle for exploring the immaterial in greater depth.

Meditation is the vehicle, Taichi and Breathwork are the mechanic. They get the wheels, gas, oil, etc all in order. Can’t drive too far if you’re low on gas or missing a wheel. Can’t explore much if you can’t drive too far.

This all snapped into place for me recently during the big media fast and I'm currently experimenting with some things that I’ll report back on in the next few months.

In the next post I’ll contradict everything I said here and write about the missing piece of information I needed to start actually practicing more seriously every day. One single concept made a lot of things clear for me. Since then it’s been something like ~150 days of practicing every day, increasing over time. If you’d like to receive an email when I publish that, there’s a box below to join the mailing list.

Thanks for reading, hope this helped, and gentle reminder to put your phone down and get back to your life~
