Why is the nervous system cited as a blockage when RS is a transcending act? (PLEASE READ!)

It occurred to me again whilst thinking about why I haven’t shifted yet (6 years) and a lot of people said it was because of a fried nervous system. But the nervous system is something in the body, not something in your awareness. The act of shifting is shifting your awareness from one reality to another, so how comes the awareness is unable to do something because of bodily blockage? You’re not shifting your body, only your awareness. So does that mean all this talk about the nervous system (and by extension self concept) is rubbish? And if so, what should people like me (severely traumatised - pretty sure I have c-ptsd) should do? (Do not say therapy).

Cried the first time after nearly 2 years, I feel horrible.

I don’t even know which subreddit to post these sort of posts. I just hope it doesn’t get taken down and that someone in the comments replies. For 2 years I didn’t cry because I knew that crying would never change anything, it wouldn’t mend my relationships, it wouldn’t help me out in anyway, it wouldn’t solve anything. I was searching up university applications and going through my old photos about once going to one of the most prestigious universities in the world. I liked it a lot not only for the prestige but the architecture since it was literally dark academic. But I’m an unemployed failure who managed to mess up my grades twice for a plethora of reasons (bullying, sullied reputation, being banned from school for half a year etc.), and I remembered that I wish to go to this university. I was scrolling, and saw someone getting accepted into that university and I was utterly incapable of expressing whatever murky unpleasant feeling that was in my heart. I was so depressed. It was night time so I was laying next to my mother, and for some reason, I told her how a part of my motivation to get better grades was diffused because she and my father didn’t let me become a lawyer. Long story short, it turned into a full melt down. I was having such a bad break down that I kept telling her about all of my problems and certain aspects of my trauma (my parents already know vaguely what I’ve went through, but not the specific details) and I was crying and sobbing and blabbering, I genuinely couldn’t form coherent sentences I was stuttering extremely bad, I don’t even know why I was stuttering, I’ve never stuttered before but it was extremely bad where several points whilst I stuttered I just groaned in frustration at my incapability of telling my mother what happened to me. I told her some deep secrets and I extremely regret it and now she has to live with this knowledge, she knows I’m suicidal and begged me to not do anything stupid again. This went on for 2-3 hours. Just me blabbering in between tears, telling her how everything is stupid because I’m powerless and that I can’t change anything, telling her that THAT’S the reason why I’m so suicidal. That “I have no interests, I have no likes or dislikes. I don’t care because none of this matters anymore”. Obviously I can’t say it all in the reddit post because it’s already so long, but it was the first time talking about my experiences like that to my mother and I woke up and still feel so much regret and grief for a life that I am not living. But the biggest regret I had was that I was crying. Because of course, crying never changes anything. It doesn’t ease my suffering. Nor does it explain anything. It does nothing. And whilst I’m crying, sobbing that I don’t care anymore about anything that I have left, like my family, like my pet quails, all the people who have hurt me live a life where there isn’t a shred of guilt of remembrance of who I even am. I told her about a lot of the injustice against my life, how I was hurt by my self, family, friends, relationship, teachers, at work, by anyone who I’ve ever met. Because any one who I have ever met, has to hurt me one away or another. I can’t stand this, she was begging me not to do anything dumb like killing myself, because her, my father and my brother would be sad without me. But I really don’t care. I really can’t see how their love can outweigh the suffering that I’ve went through. Goddamnit I feel like I’m 6 years old again, crying and sobbing knowing damn well it will never get better. And 13 years later, after so many suicide attempts and a bunch of messing up, I’m so depressed. Mental illness, or if my justification for the hurt is valid, if I’m delusional or consumed by illusions, whatever it is, just kill me already. Crying never helped me. It didn’t help me back then, and it didn’t help me after abstaining from the stupid act for 2 years.

Me watching my younger self discover shifting knowing damn well he’s going to amplify his suffering for the next 6 years because of the discovery.

If I had the power to shift I would’ve shifted by now.

Someone just tell me at least something to give me a direction

I don’t even know what to say here since normally I pre-write a post but I’m genuinely so sad and upset and dissatisfied with my life. My life is nothing and I’m extremely severely traumatised and can’t function properly and I made a post about it on the c-ptsd subreddit which got removed and I genuinely don’t know why, I was just venting. I want my desired lifestyle but it’s so far from what I am now, I practice spirituality but at this point I’m sure I’m going fully delusional. The state of my life is so pathetic and when I see the genuinely evil people that have ruined me beyond repair it makes me seethe in misery and hatred and envy because it’s so unfair. I’m trying not to say an expletive but it’s so hard because why do I need to go through so much horrible things (I get jealous of people in the c-ptsd subreddit because their trauma is so much more bearable than whatever ontological, nonsensical and abstract genuine horror that I’ve faced that I still struggle to even comprehend) but they have my life. Even if I somehow get therapy what then? They’re not going to cure my deformity and give me my desired life, I’ll just listen to the same regurgitated garbage that I need to be grateful for my life. Yes! I am grateful for being a loser who’s deformed, ugly, lost all my friends who also got bullied and raped and assaulted and experienced a range of abuse that not even Dostoevsky would think of for a tragic character. Like it’s genuinely appalling tha this actually my life that this is what i have experienced and will continure to experience I cant even kill myself because i’m just forced back into this reality i feel so helpeless and lost and yyterly drained because i’m trapedd in this bleak reality with genuinely no sense of a positive breakthrough whilst i watch the most garbage individuals who ruined my life in the most demonic eays go from success to success. I want advice and direction but i know deep down that these future words of encouragement or support is shallow which no actual impact. I said this in my post that got removed but it’s so crippling dealing with a bleeding heart

Disastrous “results” that I’m fed up with

I’m trying new things and hopefully I come off as somewhat composed and I’ll try my best not to swear. I saw my ex’ on Instagram and I’ve genuinely been losing it the past couple of days. They’re right now in one of my favourite countries with their new lover and it’s killing me because they’re living my life that I listened to, my life that I sacrificed so many days listening to. Whilst I’m here listening to subliminals to live my dream life, they’re there living that life, eating at expensive restaurants, being driven around in nice cars, heck they looked much better now which I didn’t even know was possible, they got another glow up even though they were plenty attractive beforehand! But no, here I am in a country that I didn’t really care for, being driven around in a cramped space, ordering garbage and eating garbage. You know what makes it worse!? I occasionally live a day on the other side, the side of my desires and it actually makes me feel so good. It makes my life feel complete. I don’t care if others think I’m shallow for chasing material things, because there’s another layer of complexity behind it. I feel like I can live on the other side, but those days are so goddamn rare. So goddamn pathetic. Days where people are complimenting me left and right, walking into restaurants with people I actually want to be with, not with my suffocating family, I like them, but I want to go out with people that actually let me have a good time. So no, whilst I’m here “living in the end”, imagining I’m living a life of going into expensive hotels and travelling in luxury whilst surrounded by trash, listening to subliminals religiously with no success, this person manages to steal everything away and live the life I wanted to live. And I goddamn know a lot of people of this post if it even gets some traction at this point, would just pick out on the easy stuff. “It’s instagram, they show-“ shut up! What do you know aside from a couple words on a screen!? How do you know my life from just a snippet of text? I have suffered and went through and still go through events that I don’t even understand! I don’t even process it because it’s so abstractly horrible and even when a semblance of understanding is built around it I’m immediately thrown into another terrible situation that just accumulates! I don’t care if they live my life, that’s good for them, well for them, I genuinely don’t want to drag them down to my level, and I know deep down they’re suffering from their own things. But goddamn am I not allowed to take a break, I goddamn deserve it after all the backstabbing, torture and treachery! These people do nothing to achieve what I want, whilst I listen like a deranged loser to subliminals like “fixes everything instantly!” “your life will change after you listen to this” yeah, for the worse! Goddamn this stupid idea, it’s so pathetic and humiliating and everyone just blames me like I understand okay maybe I need to do some work on my side, I recognise that but when EVERYTHING goes to the WORST PEOPLE, that have completely ANNIHILATED my psyche for 6 YEARS then obviously questions need to be asked! I can’t even hang myself or something because death just forces me back into this reality. Neither here nor there, I’m in an interval of perpetual suffering! It feels like I’m trapped, for the longest time I tried shifting out of here, but I thought maybe I should fix this reality. It can die in a hole! I never want to see this reality again! Nothing works. “Oh because you’re saying nothing works which is affirming-“ SO 6 YEARS OF ME AFFIRMING THAT I’M LIVING MY DREAM LIFE WAS JUST FOR FUN!? Argh I hate this, every time I listen to a subliminal it always backfires gravely or just gives results to someone wicked I can’t handle this crap anymore! Goddamnit i think I’m having a panic attack

Which character is better written, Punpun or Nakoshi?

Literally just finished Homunculus and it was totally not how I expected it to be. I thought it would be much more slower and solemn.

Is EIYPO “Everyone is you pushed out” dangerous and actually overlap with cognitive distortions and biases?

It’s just something I always thought about because it felt like if someone embodied this mindset, they would go full on delusional. The thing is, I was looking at some cognitive distortions and biases and came across this image and saw that a couple of them overlap with EIYPO.

The main one being “control fallacy”, which directly covers law of assumption. What do you guys think of this? Every time I try bring up something, for example my theory of the glass looking theory, my post gets removed. I just want a discussion honestly.

Which novel resonated with you the most?

Tess of the D’urbervilles by Thomas Hardy is my favourite novel due to several reasons, including the setting and slight celestial descriptions, the characters conflict and the time period of the book. I personally like Victorian aesthetics more. Anyways, Tess is such a relatable character because of the relentless suffering she goes through for similar reasons that I did. Her depth, especially considering that Thomas Hardy was writing a character that went against the norms, imo was very well fleshed out. To see someone like her being pushed around and abused by an exploitative society, I understood her a lot. Tess would definitely be one of my favourite characters in novels. I know people here rather ‘scale’ anime or manga, so maybe my next post could tailor towards that.

I genuinely hate the powerlessness sometimes

Can’t even use basic features in capcut to create subliminals anymore. Stupid idiotic corporates that drain money from every angle I cannot be bothered because there’s always a predatory company or political party trying to drain some sort of money from me. So helpless and bleak every day it’s exploitation and there’s nothing to do. It’s not like this idiotic subliminal was going to help me anyway I’m genuinely impressed by how I haven’t blasted my head off with a shotgun yet. Seriously though I can’t believe the greed but I can’t even muster up to manifest $5

Digression after listening to subliminals for over 6 years

This was originally for the NG sub yesterday but they removed it, idk where to go to ask sorry if I’m annoying. So I just copied and pasted it here.

I’ll try to summarise as much as possible. Last night I was meditating and just stayed fully awake because it dawned on me how pathetic my life is. 1/3 of my life (over 6 years) I’ve been trying (don’t nitpick this word) and all of my effort has mustered up to a single text that didn’t even matter in the end. That has been my overall life experience, and it’s just self degradation atp, affirming that “I am the observer” but the only thing I observe is the slow decomposition of whatever this is. I’ve been through a lot, and even though I feel hatred, frustration, confusion, it all stems from my exhaustion. Like I get it, people with trauma are generally slower with manifestation because of all the inner work, but it’s been 6 years of effort. And I don’t mean rolling in bed, repeating affirmations and going sleep. I mean SATS, reading Neville’s books twice, writing books filled with affirmations, creating my own subliminals, and even doing aggressive methods like sleep deprivation to get into a meditative state better. I’m more of a shifter, but even then everything that I’ve ever done, sacrificing genuinely my everything, for manifestations that go to other people makes me shut up like a clam. I now live with a sullied reputation, which has significantly made my life worse. Like it’s okay, I’m used to it, I’m used to listening to self concept subliminals and then listening to my family insulting me by calling me slow and “third class”. I’m fine with being bullied and used so everyone else has an outlet for their own frustration. I’m used to listening to random manifestation videos by people who’re selling courses to repeat the same advice. But damn, it get’s to a limit you know? I’m not some tragic character in a Shakespeare drama, I’m a real person. A lot of people will definitely comment get therapy, and that was a mistake I made in a different post. I would’ve gotten therapy if I had the chance. But to be quick, 1. Parents would be suspicious, 2. Way too expensive (I’m very poor and live in a crime ridden area), 3. Didn’t even work when I went before. At the very least, I’ve restarting shadow work but I already know everything about myself so writing it out and resurfacing those feelings and thoughts make me disgusted and pitiful. Like, why do I need to do this even after 6 years, whilst I watch my enemies (I don’t have a better word) literally gain the same manifestations that I bled for. Like the realisations were so bad last night that I spent an hour vomiting and wrenching.

Okay I think that’s it for the summary, I honestly don’t know what I’m really asking for, but just want some sort of recommendation that isn’t gaslighting or blame shifting. Normally, even when I’m backed to a corner I at the very least find some sort of exit strategy or find a next step to pursue, but whenever I’m completely disoriented, I literally just don’t know what to do next. I hope you people can infer the exhaustion in my tone rather than indifference or anger, I just don’t know what to do anymore.

Just finished Saya No Uta and I don’t know what to think of it

I felt really weirded out and uncomfortable for most of the novel which is unusual for me since I’m able to stomach most things (I think). My experience of it may have been inferior since I watched a censored gameplay of it. It’s good, but idk just deeply unsettling. My favourite characters are definitely koji and ryoko tho!
