In esoteric teachings, the statement "In silence and self-confidence, you will find salvation" holds deep significance and can be explored from a spiritual perspective. Let's delve into an esoteric expansion of this statement: Silence as Inner Stillness: Silence is not merely the absence of external noise but also a state of inner stillness. It represents the quieting of the mind, the cessation of incessant mental chatter, and the cultivation of a serene and receptive inner space. Through silence, one can connect with the deeper aspects of oneself and attune to the subtle realms of consciousness. Self-Confidence as Spiritual Trust: Self-confidence in this context refers to a profound trust in one's own inherent divinity and spiritual nature. It is a recognition of the infinite potential and wisdom that resides within. This self-confidence arises from a deep knowing that one is connected to a greater spiritual reality and possesses the inner resources to navigate life's challenges and seek spiritual growth. Salvation as Liberation and Wholeness: In esoteric philosophy, salvation encompasses the liberation of the soul from the limitations of the egoic self and the realization of its true nature. It is the journey towards wholeness, inner harmony, and alignment with higher spiritual truths. Salvation is not external deliverance but an internal process of awakening and self-realization. The Power of Silence: Silence has the ability to quiet the noise of the external world and the distractions of the egoic mind. In the stillness of silence, one can access deeper levels of consciousness, intuition, and spiritual insight. It is within this sacred space that profound wisdom, guidance, and inner transformation can unfold. Self-Confidence as Inner Knowing: Self-confidence, rooted in spiritual trust, allows one to tap into their intuition and inner knowing. It enables the recognition of one's unique path and purpose, empowering them to make aligned choices and take courageous steps towards spiritual growth and self-realization. In summary, the esoteric expansion of the statement suggests that through the cultivation of inner silence and self-confidence, one can find salvation-a deep spiritual liberation and wholeness. By embracing silence, stillness, and self-trust, individuals can access their inner wisdom, connect with higher spiritual truths, and embark on a transformative journey towards self-realization and spiritual awakening.🤔🤔

So, what to do when you’re in a limbo state then? Where’s the courage to choose, knowing that you might end up regretting your choice?

Suppose I’m just rambling on here, but while videos like these used to calm me, sometimes give me a sense of clarity, now it’s just one big word salad to my ears.

[@twinalphathree9147]

I take Alan with a grain of salt. He had some amazing insights on some things, others, not so much. He himself said he was an entertainer. Albeit an educated entertainer with some profound insights, but an entertainer nonetheless. It sounds like your anxious mind is trying to protect you from making a bad decision, as well as catastrophizing about any decision you may make. Any decision can be potentially "regrettable." If all you are doing is playing scenarios over and over in your mind, you may well become paralyzed. Perhaps you might write down the pros and the cons or talk to someone about it. Staying calm in the middle of a panic attack? I've had my share and even had someone drive me to the ER. Other times I rode them out. I use the past tense because I haven't had one in a while. Meditation, journaling, exercise, (for some people yoga) and other therapies have helped them to diminish over time. Seeing a therapist has been helpful as well. Most of our confusion is of our own making. Talking to someone about our confusion (and the reasons behind it) might give us a helpful perspective. Practicing meditation, which is where Alan Watts had some wonderful insights, may bring clarity. It also helps us to come into touch with reality (the world as it is and not as we think about it). The philosopher, Seneca, said, "We suffer more in imagination than in reality." Not that we don't suffer in reality, but we suffer more in our minds. It appears that is what you are dealing with. Cheers!

[@TheLobstersoup]

What I wonder is why neither the Western, nor the Eastern societies were build around such principles like the Tao. Why did we choose to turn to egoism and straining for goals that might not even truly be our own? I feel like these philosophies were thousands of years ahead of their time and perhaps in some future century humanity will strive for simplicity, rather than complicating things further. That doesn't mean we'll become lazy, we'll just stop working towards goals that didn't solve our issues in the past.

In a way many of the things he said are true, and in a way, many of the things said are not. If there is too much to handle, it is very likely that being in the moment when nothing bad is happening to you can help. But if bad things are currently happening to you, perhaps it is better to cast your mind somewhere else. Or yet, another ideology which believes in strength may say that is when you should most be in the moment to withstand the suffering, but I am not strong.

You are stronger than you know. The coal has the innate ability to become the diamond but a coal does not become a diamond without tremendous pressure and time, in this process, it has no support.
