Negative thought pattern

[Surfboard]

It seems I acquired a negative thought pattern last night.

Has anyone dealt with one of these before?

My first thought is to send it love but I’m not sure if that’s harmful to myself.

Accept it with open arms. Don't judge, or resist it. Shine your light of awareness on the thoughts, and see if you can find any value in it

I'm sure many (if not, most) on here have dealt with a negative thought pattern before. It's perfectly natural and nothing to be ashamed of

Let us know if you find anything

I was wondering if we were speaking of thought "form" or a "pattern" a little bit of a difference although the pattern concentrated upon creates the form, but never mind that back to the question, form or pattern?

I’m not quite sure so let me try to explain.
I become aware in my thoughts of the all seeing eye.
If I follow the thoughts it takes me to a place where I have no choice but to forget everything I know or else I'm in danger.

Hmmmm I am stumped. Never heard of that before. Sorry.

Actually I think it’s the fact I’m opening up my crown chakra when my low chakras are heavily imbalanced. It is quite possibly to flip time space and seems to make sense as I can open the eye.

I would recommend working on the chakras from the bottom up. It's like building a house. You have to start from the 1st floor, not the 6th or 7th.

Yeah, definitely not smoking any weed anytime soon. And I have been trying to work on them but it seems that I just don’t want to hear the truth due to fear.

For some reason I have to leave everything behind and go beg people. Leave my material world and seek a love that gives and doesn’t take. It’s just hard because I have crohns and am on a really strict diet.

hi again surfboard

I have been at a place in my life where I smoke a lot of weed and mediate on my crown chakra. this is a very very unwise thing to do. I had to learn not to meditate on the crown chakra when you're not balanced the hard way.it is not fun.

self-pacing is key.

i often compare one's spiritual practice (particularly meditation of any kind) to physical exercise. if you go too hard, or do something improperly, there is a risk that you will hurt yourself. and obviously when you hurt yourself, you are forced to take a break to recover. not to mention the pain associated with it. some things are more high risk than others. meditating on the crown charka (especially on marijuana) is a disaster waiting to happen.

good luck with everything

How is sending love harmful?

One needs no protection. One is in no real danger. The danger is an illusion, which one may also let go of when one appreciates the truth of selfhood reflected within the illusion. One is not one's illusions, narratives, experiences, concepts, or self-identity. One is merely the witness, and one has no need for attachment to what one witnesses. Although it is acceptable. Ultimately, one lets go of the attachment and makes room to appreciate all of creation.

Fear has a lot to do with the lower chakras. Having your energy too high in the body, without the lower chakras balanced can cause a very flighty and paranoid sense of perception. Spiritual development is the work of a lifetime, it is best to start slow and low.


I suggest paying particular attention to the way you breathe, make sure that as you breath the awareness of breath is seated in the lower area of your torso.


Also I would reccomend chanting a mantra such as OM and as you chant focus the vibrations of the chant on your lower chakras.


I would also reccomend that you excercise caution in what material you read or watch on the internet, there are a lot of sources out there that are not of a pure loving vibration and full of dellusion and attachment. I have found it best to listen to guidence from established eastern meditation traditions.

I respect your precaution on sending love, not because such action is harmful, but because non of us posess real knowledge of absolute love. We have only approximations of it imbued with our own distortions. Those distortions are the real reason to be cautious. Since they are invisible for conscious mind, you may want to move accurately, step by step, asessing every catalyst in your way. I would highly advice you to feel your ground in any instance of perceived danger. It is ok to step back if you don't feel safe. Just don't let this trait to grow into cowardness.

I must add, that there are many types of negative thought patterns. And if yours is severe and has gained massive impetus and you are forced into action and descision, sending love is the best choice known to me.
