The subtle art of...
...not giving a f**k is the name of the book I got this quote from. It really changed my outlook on life, so I wanna share it with you today. "Pursuing a more positive experience in itself is a negative experience. And, as paradoxical as it sounds, accepting (embracing) the negative experience is a positive experience." It was called the law of reverse effort by Alan Watts. Thoughts?

Paradoxes of that kind are at the heart of that work, so yes, this quote applies here. Both the 4 Principles workshop and the Being Complete workshop (our main online trainings) contain notions about this idea :)

Thought
Had an insight in the last workshop. I create and then believe in the thought of an "outside world". To this thought I attach emotions, commitments, goals, strategies etc. When I believe in that thought unconsciously. I'm in a mode of constant battle, suffering, managing and chasing. Instead of being truly in contact with the world as it is in the here and now. Thanks

I wouldn't beat myself up too much about "creating the thought of an outside world". It's pretty hard not to, honestly. Probably every somewhat complex creature does it too. But yeah, as you point out, in our case (humans), a lot of additional crap comes with the package. It's not just a blank "outside world". It's an outside world with charge, meaning, interpretations, values, judgements, โฌ15.9 movie tickets (holy shit), and more. And that's pretty anti-being, I agree.

Any advice?
Hello, beautiful people! I've been on the path to awakening or something like that for quite some, not really sure what is it that I'm after. And I am bit stuck at the moment - not really sure what move to make next. I had a VERY strong spiritual experience after a day of nothing but silent meditation, but that's been it. It's proven to me a 100% that there exists something amazing that is beyond our usual perception. I can't really afford to recreate it right now, because life is busy, though I probably will some day. So I come here to ask for advice. What shoud I do? Do I relax myself more in my day to day? Do I do concentration exercises? Do I try to think less and stop my thoughts? I'm not really what works and what is the way, so any advice (preferably from personal experience) would be highly appreciated. Much love

I would "not touch it". The experience you had was whatever it was. Let it sink in for now. Trying to immediately "make sense" of any kind of breakthrough can only solidify it into concepts. That's OK if concepts is what you're aiming for. But else, just sit with it, and accept the not-knowing that comes with the package. It's part of the breakthrough (in a weird way), so don't pollute it with all sorts of mind stuff while you can. And don't worry: mind will grab it eventually. That's what mind always does anyway, whether you want it or not.

@Tanto Ashina regarding your breakthrough, yes. If your question is "what to do next", others have pointed out many possibilities in this thread, so I won't elaborate more :)
