[QUOTE="JayJay, post: 33134, member: 147"] [MEDIA=reddit]Pessimism/comments/wfcam6/destroy_your_mind_and_kill_your_self[/MEDIA] Argument 1 [LIST] [*]Nonexistence is bliss. [*]Without a mind, there is no existence. [*]The mind or "self" does not exist already; therefore, truly realizing that fact is bliss. [/LIST] Argument 2 [LIST] [*]Nonexistence is bliss. [*]Destroying one's concept of a "self" or "mind" is effectively destroying oneself. [*]Therefore, destroying one's concept of a self or mind is bliss. [*]The joke is that the self and mind do not exist already, so simply realizing that fact is bliss. [/LIST] How to realize self does not exist already? How to destroy the mind? How to realize the self does not exist already: [LIST] [*]Recognize the neuroscientific fact that there is no center of consciousness and therefore no self. [*]Perform self-inquiry. Examine the body and look your "self." You will not find it, because it does not exist. [/LIST] How to destroy the mind? [LIST] [*]Stop thinking/label, dismiss, refocus. [/LIST] [LIST=1] [*]Label: Identify when the brain is engaging in thought. [*]Dismiss: Say "it's just the brain." [*]Refocus: Engage in a healthy activity. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]Like learning to play an instrument, doing this repeatedly will build new neural pathways and rewire the brain to do it automatically. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
