      Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for commenting. As you can see for some reason this channel doesn't get much attention, so if you could somehow share it with someone, that would be really cool!

    If you do not meditate every day, then you do not have the right to complain about your mind. You must reset. I like to meditate first thing when I wake up. I set the alarm for 4:30 and then I go into my meditation. Sometimes I fall asleep, but it is at least after I have had a few minutes of solid connection to source so that my day happens for me and not to me. Mind over matter 100% of the time. Meditating before bed is good, but you’re not raising your vibrations, you are simply getting the Mc out, but not raising anything.

    First of all, intrusive thoughts are like narcissistic abuse - we are not aware we have it. It is like fish swimming in the water without being aware that there is air ambient. Being in the water all the time - there is no cognition that some matter other than water exists.
    Seconds, intrusive thoughts are indicator we are in toxic ambient - there is narcissistic abuse - and we have no idea that there are toxic people around us.
    Third, intrusive thoughts are also indicator of ADHD and neurodivergent mind. Most people have neurotypical brain - where information in brain travels in linear straightforward way- it is similar to tunnel vision, it is egocentric and dumb - but it is fast. It is like 2D and it is without anxiety issues.
    Neurodivergent mind goes in multiple ways, it is like 3D or even 4D - so there are emotions during this information travel in the brain. Neurotypical majority will label this emotions and way of thinking as sickness and disorder - because we will not be focused on our single job or point of view. For neurotypicals - this ability to have Rashomon Effect felt from all direction will feel uncomfortable.
    When we know more information - this carries a sense of vagueness and neurotypical brains unaccustomed to unknown territories will bale this as anxiety and sickness and abnormality.
    When we realize what is really happening (I'd suggest watching Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions is a satirical novella by the English schoolmaster Edwin Abbott Abbott, first published in 1884 - available at You tube - we will stop neurotypical approach of destroying and stifling and stigmatizing and self pathologizing anything different inside our brain - and actually listen and watch and try to understand the messages it carries.
    Instead of being egocentric and narcissistic and being obsessed by our thoughts - we could interpret intrusive worry as signal that there is someone toxic around us whom we need to cut contact or lower standards and impose boundaries or lower contact if cutting is impossible.

      Hey! Thank you for your insightful comment on intrusive thoughts. Your analogy of fish in water and the connection to toxic environments or neurodivergent thinking is fascinating. Your exploration of neurotypical vs. neurodivergent minds offers valuable insights into diverse cognitive patterns. Your suggestion to watch 'Flatland' sounds intriguing. Your concluding quotes on fear and self-diagnosis tie into understanding. Your engagement and unique perspective are appreciated. Feel free to share more. 😊

      @@astralhq_com Actually, it feels more like the other way ‘round (your channel found me via the Suggestions feed), and most of your uploads are like confirmation of what I already know, usually at the exact point that the video topic is needed most.
      This also happens in other ways, often based on thoughts and emotions in a given moment; I’ve noticed lately how often I could be pondering something or processing my feelings, only for the lyrics and melody of the next song I hear to sync with what’s on my mind.
      It’s like I’m given the solutions I need while still in mid-thought; one moment I’m wondering where to find a certain item, directions to a building, or even the nearest toilet, and *_boom,_* it’s right there in the direction I’m facing.
      Reality is like a procedurally-generated open-world video game, and the increasing moments of “coincidence” only reinforce this perspective of quantum elasticity.
