Hey Vicente, That sounds really unpleasant. First of all, I want to say that I'm not a psychologist—I'm just someone who grew up with a pretty intense thought carousel myself. 😄 I also have no idea how intense these thoughts are for you or how much control you currently have over them. I can only share a few techniques that I personally keep practicing. - I try to redirect my thoughts toward the spiritual as early as possible. As soon as I notice a thought arising, I look at what it's trying to tell me. On the spiritual path, what other people think about me is ultimately irrelevant, so I don't want to give those thoughts my attention. Whether they're true or not doesn't really matter. - You could try talking to the people involved and simply ask them whether they actually thought or said what you're hearing. It might help you get a better feeling for what is real and what is being imposed on your mind. - I use the Lotus Flower meditation, where I try to feel my soul in the area of the solar plexus. As a side effect, focusing on that area helps calm my mind and makes it much easier not to get carried away by intrusive thoughts. - in general, I try to observe and guide my thoughts every single moment. I no longer let thoughts quietly slip in and take over my awareness for long periods without noticing. I've learned how these loops work, how they flood the mind and create confusion, so I do my best to catch them as early as possible. 😄😄 I wish you all the best, and if you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

@Wolfia Angusta Hey Wolfia, My first thought was that, at this point, the logo almost doesn't matter that much to me anymore. 😊 Personally, I don't really resonate with the bee, just as I didn't with the monkey or the old SR logo. I guess I keep wondering whether there might be a symbol that points more directly toward God or our spiritual path. That said, out of the ones we've had so far, I also think the bee is probably the best choice. 😅

@Rian X Hey Rian, Thank you for your response and for your questions. I'll do my best to explain what I mean. In this world, everything is temporary. Everything we perceive with our eyes will one day turn to dust and disappear. That is why I don't believe our greatest priority should be things that are destined to pass away. The more our attention becomes attached to what is temporary, the more our life revolves around things that cannot stay with us. Instead, we can gradually direct our attention toward what is eternal. For me, that means everything that brings us closer to God. It begins with learning to observe and discipline our thoughts, training our attention, cultivating inner awareness, praying, and practicing spiritual exercises. These are things that transform us from within. In a way, it all comes down to one simple question: What do you believe is the purpose of your life? For me, the answer to that question naturally determines where I place my attention.

@Rian X Hey Rian, I think there's one small thing I'd see a little differently. When you talk about "sleeping", it sounds like you mean people who don't see what's happening in the world. But for me, that's not what being asleep really means. A person isn't asleep because they don't understand the world's problems. A person is asleep as long as they haven't found their living connection with God. I don't think the purpose of life is to know every hidden corruption or every dark thing happening in the world. The purpose of life is to come closer to God. Of course, we can't avoid negative information completely. It will always reach us from time to time. But the information itself isn't the real problem. The important part is what happens inside us afterwards. If we stay connected to God, that information simply passes through. It doesn't reach our deepest being, because we immediately recognize what it is, what it feeds, and what happens if we accept it and keep giving it our attention. That's why I think the real practice isn't learning how to avoid all negativity. It's learning how to remain inwardly connected, even when negativity appears. Then we can see it, understand it if necessary, learn from it—and let it go again without carrying it within us. I wish you all the best with your training. 😊 And if you ever have more questions or just want to exchange thoughts, I'm always happy to chat.

@Wolfia Angusta Hey Wolfia, For me, it simply emerged through self-observation. When I began observing consciousness itself, I realized that consciousness is something foreign — not who I truly am. It was something that kept pushing certain patterns of thinking onto me, almost like templates. Those thought patterns generated particular states of consciousness, which in turn created emotions. The beautiful realization was that this whole process can be observed... and therefore consciously directed. 😊🙏

I only had a quick look at one of his videos using the automatic translation, so take this with a grain of salt. My personal impression was that he speaks a lot about deep spiritual concepts, but I found myself staying mostly in the realm of the intellect. For me, a true spiritual teaching doesn't only make me think — it also awakens something deeper within me. So I couldn't really judge the teacher, but I didn't personally resonate with what I heard. 🙏
