I watched 2 much spiritual stuff and now its worse
Im just getting agrier cause i worry more then i used too. Spiritual things should help but im made me feel worse. Even my therapist said to me to try "non-duality" and spirituality. I watched alot of videos about "youre not your mind" and non duality that "everything is fake" and all that cr*p, tell me how could you live your life if you dont have an identity, cause thats the ego, and the ego is "bad" so we shouldnt identify ourself to anything,cause we are the "watcher". In some videos they even say "youre not the doer" so if you do bad things its not you, its the body and the mind, which is not you... If you want to decide what you want to do, you need the ego,you decide this is what i value, this is my belief(which they say its just thoughts too), you need to identify as a good person, maybe we arent cause we are humans but atleast we try. Then theres the non duality which says nothing is good or bad, everything in the world is fake, then try to live your life like that, youre fake, nothing is real, its an illusion, i bet you will not enjoy anything, you will even become mentally ill... Even when i hear "youre not your mind" it makes me more anxious cause i feel like theres a big "machine" in me that just works by itself and you cant do anything about it, it even effects how you feel and you cant do anything about it, you just have to watch it... its like you have to watch someone beating your best friend, you just sit there and watch... this is a very bad point of veiw. I do believe we arent the mind, we are souls, but we have to use our brain, thats why God made it for us, and the ego too. We have to see ourself as something. I read somewhere that trying to "kill" the ego is just trying to hide from something, its not possible. Or when i hear that you can think more "deeply than the mind, with your awarness" thats not real... i think thats still your mind but its a more inteligent part of your mind, not that part which deals with survival. God made the mind and the ego for us to use it for good.
