I find myself getting caught up in the thinking mind, the stories and whatever else often but then watching videos like this one makes me remember. And I can relax. Like this morning I couldn't stop going over scenarios in my mind that were making me anxious. I said, okay let's lay down for a bit because I'm starting to drive myself mad. I put on this video and have remembered who I am. Until I forget again. And then remember.
Unfortunately, that is the very definition of Samsara (identified with, and so bound, by thought). Awareness in which thought appears is Nirvana. Example: Where are the thoughts one *knew* 1 year ago? The awareness that knew those thoughts one year ago, is the same awareness that knows this moment (and all moments EVER).
I don’t know how to start meditating and when I sit there, I just feel stupid and have the same dumb thoughts over and over. I have depression from drug abuse because I could never be happy no matter if things are going good or not.
That letter could also be from me. If I were to write those very words right now, everyone of them would be truth. As always, thank you, David. But maybe the 2nd time i ever tried meditation,I felt an energy come down over me and I felt like a god for a while.. I understood every word in the Bible,I was answering questions that I would never known.. I think I was a little scared after a few days and it slowly “went away”. I SWARE to every word I’m saying here so I’m asking “what happened” and “why did it stop?”
I’m just adding to my comment without editing again.. I have never lived a clean life,I’ve always been an addict (not a junkie type but dependent on a medicine/1 a day type thing) I smoke,I eat unhealthy but for about 3 days,I tried to live cleaner.. then I meditated for about 10 mins and then the next day,I went for about 45 mins when this all happened. Could anyone give me some insight on what happened? Please?
This is a great talk!

Love your teachings. 😊❤
You can take everything away from a man but his thoughts

What is that stuff in the background ? A peaceful backdrop would be nice eh?

It gets easier over time. Feel your body going numb and focus in relaxing
Just keep doing it. Eventually you will get it.
