After meditation talking to myself.

Denkatsu

So after meditating today for about 45 min. Feeling calm and relaxed this talking to myself comes up. It says, this suffering is not yours. you have to die one day. Why hold on. Not sure what to feel about it honestly.

It sounds like a useful insight to me.

I feel ive had this previous in my thoughts before. Like in the understanding we all have to die why can't we love and understand all beinings. we all have to die.

I thought you said you were not a practictioner? Maybe you do have some things to review in that brain of yours.

@Denkatsu -- It's just one way to elude the usefulness of meditation.

I do this sometimes when I'm not writing in my journal. It does help, you are not insane...good job.

I talk to myself (in my head) to help me better understand things. I do my best to argue both sides of an issue. Not that it always come out right but it generally leads to a better understanding of myself or some concept.

My take on this phenomena is that in meditation our mind shifts a little bit. These thoughts are a natural arising of this fresher mind, they are outside our old minds experience and bubble up as different from the background of our old minds. Over time with repeated meditation these new ideas become more ingrained in our everyday mind and become a natural part of our conditioning.

I will say it was a very refreshing voice. Amongst the rest.

This suffering is not yours - what does that mean to you?

Did you not know you would die one day? or did you feel this now?

why hold on to what? life or suffering?

How do you feel about it (even if youre not sure how to feel about it?)

Denkatsu

Holding on in a sense that i don't have to connect to it. Its not mine

Of course I knew. I'm not sure about always knowing.

I feel ok with it. It feels right.

sounds like a very positive resolution

I think of this saying alot. Whats more important this one leaf or the vast of the entire forest. But the leafs important how will it ever change the forest.

another way of looking at it is to consider a long and very complex equation - every part of that equation no matter how small or insignificant contributes to the whole - each part by playing its part makes the whole exactly as it is and as it always was and will be.

Intresting.I will surely think about this.
