>when I think too hard about finding the answers they don't appear>when I stop caring and surrender control the answers reveal themselvesWhy the fuck is it like this? "Surrender Steven" ahh universeThe same thing happens when I try to force a lucid dream or something too. If I think really hard about lucid dreaming I don't even end up dreaming at all, the moment I don't give a shit though I have one. Why do I get more control the less I have?
Just let google think for youThat’s the future anyway

>>42262520The future? It's been like this for almost 2 decades already. The future is everyone replacing Google searches, which have been shit for a little more than decade, with their flavour of chatbot that looks at Google results faster than them
>>42262212>>42262526such is the way of the TaoAction through inaction OP. Honestly, treasure this ability you have, it doesn't come easy to many people. We shape clay into a pot, but it is the emptiness inside that holds whatever we want. We work with being, but non-being is what we use.
Who cares? You figured it out.
>>42263497this anons right, but to put it in another perspectiveBoth are part of the same self-similar movement towards self mastery. Tension and struggle are the body and mind changing form, the lessening of tension is the point at which a new state is reached. You did not "surrender", you reached the natural conclusion of that movement. Many who study Tao recommend men to let go, be at ease, find peace, and sit in quiet contemplation. That is not because the Tao is exclusively found in silent contemplation, it is because the human race is disbalanced in the direction of too much activity and hasty movement. If the human race was sleepy and still, then wise men would recommend humans to move and haste.tl;dr dont think about the process and just do whatever feels right in the moment faggot.
What are the answers you've found?>The same thing happens when I try to force a lucid dream or something too.I used to be envious that my friend was a natural lucid dreamer but I didn't even know lucid dreams were possible until I read about them. After I stopped being salty about it, I started having them with just a gentle bit of intention.
Eversince i had an OBE more than a decade ago, I have dreamt but a handful of times. 4 or 5 times but i would realise i am in there and the dream would stop. Before that I was an avid dreamer. Would naturally sleep over 10 hours, having several dreams a night in between awaking and falling again.Yesturday I decided that I wanted to dream again, so I went to bed setting my mind for it. I pretty early had a hypnic jump that didn't stop directly into lucid dream state, like a 30meters control fall into it. Unfortunately i could stay in there for just a few seconds. Maybe 10 or 15 unable to have dream sex with my girlfriend sleeping in another room that night. By the time it started to get fun I would wake up. Then hypnagogic fall again into the same state for up to 10-15 seconds. 5 or 6 times until I just fell into deep sleep and didn't dream again.Any tips?
>>42262212The pie.
