Getting rid of "good things".

My laptop that is on its way out, struggles with the 'g' button, so that was a difficult title!

It's remarkable how much stress is released when I write an article like this. The human design says that the whole of the body graph is trying to get to the throat. That makes a lot of sense to me!

I may have written before, I have definitely talked before somewhere, about the idea that sometimes there is something that is almost universally positive. But that it can be discerned for someone individually. It is not good for that person right now. 

It has been a few days. I will say one of the things I have recently stopped. The potential good things about this. A reflection on the general idea of letting go of such positive things.

Stefan Molyneux. I have followed his teachings WAY too much I now realise. Or that it seems to me that is likely the case at the moment. 

What could the possible drawback be of listening to him? The guy is a genius, and his online therapy types of shows, what possible reason could someone have in not listening to them? He shows a lot of wisdom, kindness, compassion. Are those things not worth supporting in our own lives? We are tribal creatures after all. Designed to be with other people. Hearing someone honestly solve their struggles. Sounds good doesn't it?

I don't know the justification for it. But I have felt a massive improvement from not listening to him any longer. For context. I would often save his podcasts for dog walks that I often do. Almost daily for some weeks of my life. The past few weeks I have watched EVERY show.

Now, with several days effect of not listening to him though. I can reflect on this. Much of the virtue and solutions Stefan has towards life. Do not seem to be that useful for me. I do not need to challenge family. Almost all of what he says boils down to the same things. That is his message. He is a "moral philosopher", and he says all these things come down to morals. But for me, without thinking about things in a moral lense. Allowing myself to acknowledge the complexities involved in other parts of life. Seems to be very constructive. 

Stefan is also deeply, deeply atheistic. It is right down to the bone level it feels. Even if he were to, I think, consider potential validity to the concept of "God", he has even more distaste for the concept of "mysticism". Still a conversation I hope to bring up again on my youtube channel. 

Without Stefan I have been exploring the concept and practice of seeing auras in the past few days. 

It's weird, it took me a very long time to come to this conclusion even though, looking back, I can see it was brewing for a while. It is a big life change and I wonder, I think it probably will, reflect into my life and philosophies moving forward in a big way!
