Using Discipline to end suffering
I had an insight regarding discipline today. Normally I think of discipline as something I use to accomplish something new. But today I realized discipline isn't limited to "something I can't do yet". Discipline can also be used to STOP doing something I am already doing that's just causing mischief and suffering. A habit of mind that comes from a bottom line belief, backed by an assumption, usually about me. I can hold a vigil. Notice the habit whenever it comes up. I can learn to be a grown-up and just stop doing it. And I can contemplate the bottom line if it's super strong and just won't go away. All of this takes discipline. In case you're all wondering, the habit I have that I'm now working on is social (of course!). It's where I try to be "helpful" to others by offering advice, then I feel hurt or disappointed when my advice is rejected or dismissed in some way. Then I fester and obsess over it for days afterwards. It always passes, but then something else always takes its place. Maybe some of you have something like this going on as well. Somehow knowing I can bring discipline to this problem has already changed my relationship to the matter. I am committed to ending this type of suffering.
I've had a breakthrough!
Just wanted to share an exciting breakthrough. It started with me checking in with Brendan on my progress on Another last Saturday. I’ve been working on what is Another for about 15 months. Thank you Brendan! Clarifying my subject seems to have gotten the ball rolling. The next night I was brushing my teeth, humming a song to myself, not doing anything in particular, and I suddenly became conscious. I guess you could say I got deeper on my true nature. Last year I got that my true nature is the “source of everything” which was a legit breakthrough, but now I got more, that this "source" is actually nothing at all. There was a feeling of hitting the bottom. I said to myself, “well it turns out I’m nothing after all!”, and then I realized it’s true. I also noticed it’s much more accessible than I first thought. The next morning, I was contemplating Another again and suddenly and quite easily became conscious of their true nature. I’ll try to say what I got: There’s only one source and it’s the source of “me” and “you” and everyone else too. And this source is absolutely nothing. I’m glad I stayed on this question for as long as I did. Earlier I got multiple times that we’re all the same, but didn’t get anything more, I’m glad I kept going. So I guess you could say I "hit a double"! I've heard this can happen, and yah it did. I gave myself 2 PEZ haha. On to the next question - what is Life?

Thank you Brendan for your help today! It helped me clarify my subject (what is another). I was just out contemplating while jogging. I now am getting that I can just hold any other as another. This helps. I passed by a guy walking the other way and got something quite suddenly. I "saw through" his outward appearance. It was as if he was just showing me his costume. I became conscious another is something more fundamental and it isn't anything perceived.
