A life worth living and dying for - MechaShaman

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/dUC-hKNzpvY

Wow. This short showed me whats keeping me in there it shows me the hook. The external Validation by my mother and father. I can go without that. I not longer need this external validation by them. I learned to give myself unconditional love and validation.

Even during the retreat, the validation I got felt nice, but it wasnt needed. It is only a shadow of what I can give to myself.

As I write this, I am seeing how external validation is a huge trap. It build upon projection and it is dangerous, If I rely on external validation, I will never be authentic, I will never be myself and I will allways have hooks for people to attach to me.

Do I feel ready to live a life without going for external validation?
YES, I want this live. I dont want any external validation anymore.
External validation is a dangerous addiction.

I see how as a child I needed that external validation, to still be fed and be somewhat in peace. But now I am an adult man, and I no longer need that. I can feed myself and I can provide and ressource myself.

AS I reresearch narcissim after now 2 years not looking at it, I am getting a way deeper understanding of it. ANd how the shared fantasy and introjection of the narcissist has impacted me.

How those unspoken rules were laid upon my life:

  • You cant bring something new to this life
  • You arent allowed to do anything without asking me first
  • You need to have my allowance to make changes
  • If you make my adjust anything in my life, you are to blame
  • I mean it good with you and the outside world wants to hurt you and abuse you

This goes much further than I thought. I am thanking the universe big time though for revealing all of this.

During this ayahuasca retreat I somehow found a swith inside of my brain that is labeled with I SAY YES TO LIVE. UNCONDITIONALLY
I saw how fear, pain and everything that I struggled to feel in the past is part of life. And I can either choose to live live…then those are included or not…but anything inbetween just hurts.

Today again throwing things away. I am making myself ready to move places. My mind is coming again and again and is placing doubts in me.
I am realizing in how much control my mind has been of my life.

I had an extra round of Ayahuasca yesterday alone. It was super interesting to now experience 3 different kinds of medicine in 3 days. They all work a bit differently,…mine is kinda the favourite ^^

Regarding a new flat, I want to look for a different approach…I want to manifest it. I am not looking for a new flat, I am finding a new place to live. I dont want to call it home anymore. My home is withhin me. I dont want to give my power away to a thing again.

Yesterdays round of ayahuasca has shown me a lot again.
For one there was another rule:
I mean it good with you and the outside world wants to hurt you and abuse you
While in reality the it the complete opposite.

Other than that I saw aswell how my situation is actually really good. I can learn how to stand up for myself and be an adult man who takes responsibility for his own world and his own reality.

Back to my escaping Narcissism Course…

I took on those rules…and in change I gave away my lifeforce, my own integrity, my own power. What I got was the promise of unconditional love…as long as I stay withhin those rules.

This goes so deep. I start to be able to see where I am in my psyche and where my parents are in my psyche.

So after now 5 days of ayahuasca back to back its time for a small pause…also because I want to listen to subs again and I have become quite careful about the combination of the two.
1:30 of WB (embedded) and 1:00 of GLM. Proud that I dont add any third title, dont switch and just increase loop length. But I start to see how a part of me wants to switch or add again and again. But now is not the time for this.

During listening to GLM, I felt a deep strength coming into me. I felt powerful. And I realized that in this conflict with my parents…its not just me against them…I realized…I have the LAW on my side. What I want to to is completley by the law. I have all the tools and things that my country offers in that regard.
In the last days I am realizing more and more how I was raised in this family where we each felt more about member of the family than citizen of the state. And a lot of unlawful things are going on in the family. A view that the state and law is bad.

Nevertheless…I am procrastinating having that escalation talk with my parents…but I realized…I can just have it on the phone. And Ill just tell my dad. With him its easier.

I am proud of myself how many things I am giving away. I am getting better and better. There are so many things that I havent touched in a year still left.

So I threw away a piece of clothing that I just bought this year…but never wore…because it is something the old me would have woren…but I dont like it anymore. I felt shame. For wasting money…And I was standing there with the tshirt, looking at it, feeling the shame…I thought I had to feel the shame till the end, till it doesnt trigger me anymore…but then I realized: If I just throw it away…I will never see it again…I will never think of it again…and this 20-25€…well, i can afford it. I start to see how I am used to attaching to emotions, used to making myself feel bad. Used to internalize the punisher…but there is no punisher anymore. There is no punishment anymore for making slight mistakes. There is no perfection asked anymore. There are no rules anymore. There is only freedom.

And with this freedom I want to get a new place to live. A place where my parents will never set foot into. I feel shame writing this. There is something withhin me that says that it is shamefulto abandon my parents. That its my duty to take care of them. But this is simply some unspoken contract. Something I may or may not have agreed as a soul when I came to this plane of existance…but as a person now, I never agreed. And because of that I am breaking that contract that I never agreed to as a consentable (18+) adult human being. I will no longer take care of my parents. It feels good to write that. As I write that I feel a lot of energy getting freed up and moving.

AS I wrote this…I am realizing how toxic that spiritual mindset can be of “As a soul, I consented to all of this”…this believe keep me stuck. I didnt take action in many areas, as I believed that I would run away from some lessons or so. What a bullshit.

Had a rapé, I feel connected to my anger again. Anger about my powerlessness. But I am not powerless. This is just a lie I tell myself. Yes I am speaking to you Alex, you are a liar and you lie to yourself. Stop it. fucking stop making yourself small. Man the fuck up. Dont be such a pushover.

I admit it. I bought into the stories others told me about myself. When I was a child. I take responsibility now for my believes. I gave my power away. I made myself a victim. Told myself that I am powerless and the others pushed there believes onto me and that I couldnt do anything about it…in the past as a child this may have been true. But now I am a 34 year old MAN. Now its time to take radical responsibility for my situation, inner world and live.

Did my mantra chanting today. Had a pause while the retreat, but getting again into it. Proud that I now have a month of constant, discilplined sadhana.
During chanting i asked for the universe to teach me how to use my anger in a way where i dont hurt myself anymore. How to use it healty.
And I realized: In the past, after such a realization that in the past I was in the wrong…I used that anger agaisnt myself. To PUNISH myself. But this is wrong. So wrong!

I am not like that. I dont want to look back in pity and self loathing. I had this very bad, hurtful attitude about anger. But it is not what anger is…

ANGER IS THE DRIVE TO CHANGE

This feels like a very very deep realization.

Something again I realized:
The last days when being with myself, my attention was mostly in my inside world. My focus was on my inside world. But what I am learning more and more is that I not longer necisserily need other people to have my focus on the outside world. I can be like that alone aswelll…subs help a ton though!

And I dont want to be a yogi anylonger…permanently connected to my inside world. thats to much!

Met a friend and we had a nice walk and lunch together. Feeling very tired now. Also had a lot of brainfog and the feeling of an energetic fog in front of my face…but this is gone now after sleeping.

I just realized what is going on…i forgot to push the button inside of me that says YES TO LIVE, WHATEVER IS that I found during the Ayahuasca retreat.

There is a feeling that I should go to the gym. I want to go but I am a bit cautious because I dont want to crash again. Maybe it is time for rest…I did a lot in the last days. Much inner work.

I feel there is a lot to integrate. I am kind cut off with my anger that game me energy again. I feel very calm again…but when I ask myself how do I feel…I feel angry. Angry for manouvering myself into that situation. Angry for not making these steps that I am about to take earlier. But as I write this I see it: I havent made actual steps so far. All I am doing is tyding up and talking about it. I havent found the courage to talk with my parents yet.
So…there is one thing to do…Get your Phone and take action.
Father cant talk right now.

There are again two parts inside of me…the calm me…and a super forious me. One that I am afraid to let loose onto the world. But as I write this…I know…Titrate all that out…
What do you want to tell me?
I hate my parents. All that they did to me. How they didnt teach me how to live a proper life. A happy life. They didnt teach me to be an adult. They didnt teach me how to be happy. Now I feel energized again…this other calm part calms me down. They didnt know it themselves. They cant teach me something they dont know.
I am proud that this inner comminication starts to work.
So what do I want to do now?
I WANT TO LEARN MYSELF HOW TO BE HAPPY

Off to the gym now. I no longer feel blocked so much. My feet are still a bit numb…do what you learned in somatic experiencing. Spread the energy to your legs. And get going.

Proud that I am learning to titrate…and to balance rest and action.

There is a second thing I procrastinate: Asking if I can cancel the retreat in bali and use the money I paid for the 6 week long retreat thats with the same team.
Did it…I started the process

I had the talk with my parents. Over the phone…it was really intense. I went a bit overboard…but it was kinda required, as I wasnt listened to when I was calm and quiet.
I feel like an asshole. Maybe I am. But what I learned in the last years is that sometimes you need to be an asshole to make your point. especially when someone doesnt listen to me.

My mind plays tricks on me…tells me that I am the bad guy in this whole story. But I talked about this with so many people. Loving kind people. And all of them said that I am doing the right thing.

It was hard to see my fathers world crumble…in the way he talked…to see how he has his believe system that he cannot or does not want to confront.

Could sleep quite well…had an interesting dream…where I was infiltrating something as a navy seal or something like that…but I was only the second guy, I was not in command and was led by a squad leader…I didnt really know what I am up to do there. We were killing some guys…

There is some guilt and shame running through me…I feel torn between different realities and views of reality. My own and my parents. They are very far appart. We have grown appart quite a lot in the last years. Really a lot…I guess now its time where those differences lead to some sort of “divorce”…but its kinda crazy that I am in such a relationship with my parents…there is also this thing about: I am just becoming an adult man. Nothing more nothing less. I am ámking my own decisions now. For what I feel and think is good for me. For when I follow my heart. Its not about wanting to hurt my parents., Its just abount me wanting to fly. Instead of leading a life lived on railroad tracks. This metaphors actually came up dunring talking with my father yesterday. He said yes…but when you fly you can crash. Or fly into world trade center…well…I am willing to take that risk in my life. Id rather risk flying than being a bird who never uses its wings and only walks the known paths. I want to live in the mystery of live.

Met a woman again, now its the 4th time we meet. Spent 5 hours together. I feel a friendship starting.
Looking back at my life a year ago…I was whiny that I have no woman in my life other than my exgf and also when I broke up with her…there were non…

now I have 5 woman I regularly meet. All on a friendship level…but thats a great start…lets see if wanted black will at one point unfold its magic.

Listening day again. 2:00 of WB and 1:30 of GLM
I am currently on the journey of escaping my narcisistic family. And in that process I try to get rid of all unnecessary obligations…maybe even all obligations…but just after listening, I realized: I have an obligation to myself that I cant run away from…An obligation to myself that I have been running away from for to long. I didnt take my inner impulses and wishes, desires and needs serious. This needs to stop. And in that regards there are still things to grow. There are moments when I dont take good care of myself, when I dont do the things that are good for me…like yesterday when I came home at 22:00…I was tired, but I kinda still wanted to chill out in front of the TV, have some rapé…I mean I went to sleep at 23:30…and I am kinda rested today. But still this is something where I dont have peace. I would like to get to that point where I dont have to watch some dumb youtube videos before going to bed…

Nevertheless, I am proud of myself. I am taking the steps in the right direction. The last days I have been busy meeting people…soon start again to get rid of neccesarry stuff in my house.

That’s wonderful progress.

What an intense day…
Today I experimented with ritalin again…I start to like it…in the beginning it was a bit new for me to not have all this energy and in my body…and that my need to move and workout diminished…but I tested it today…I can still go to the gym…but not because I need to and need to get the energy out of my body…because I want it. I can generate that bodily energy by my will.

My last day of human design learning today. I have finished the first level of education. And now comes the point of where I feel confident asking for money for readings.
There is a bit of sadness that this ends…since december I did those with my teacher…I will miss it. This american teacher I learn with…I dont knwo what to think of him…he is totally in human design. I watched a video of him today during working out…and it felt of…I think he is in that state where his super ego has been highjacked by human design and where he only lives in human design reality and not in normal reality anmore. Will investigate further.

Had a very intense theraphy session today…super intense. Shortly before the session I got a message by a woman asking if I knew where to get some drugs…it triggered me super hard. I really dont like to want to have any digitial footprint about getting this stuff…as this is the only thing that creates actual problems with the law. Owning drugs is relative safe in austria. But selling is different. And this is one of my hard boundaries…I dont do that.
But this trigger brought me to a deep childhood trauma…when I got locked in as punishment. In a dark small room with a drain connection in the ground where rats came out. I am not totally sure if my parents locked me in or if my brother did. But when I think back to it I feel an inner child part feeling total terror. Now that I wrote it down I remember that it was my dad who did it to me…as a fun game. He thought it was funny or so to create fear in me…wanted to make me hard.
I am disgusted by that.

Woke up today quite sore and it was super hard to get out of bed…but now that I am out, its ok. Quite sore from 2 times gymdays back to back. I need to calculate that into my equation of where I use my energy.

This anger aka drive to change ebbs and flows. Its a bit hard to reconnect to hit once I am calm, because it is quite big. But I am able to connect to it. And it will become easier the more I practice that. Proud of myself for getting to that point.

Just had a notch about the difference of surrender vs. acceptance…one is to accept what is happening…but from a point of I have to, I know I cant escape…but the other is coming from a point of welcoming…I say yes to life and say fuck yeah to anything that comes up…I say yes to fear, I say yes to grief, I say yes to shame, I say yes to guilt, I say yes to all the hard things…And I am taking there lesson where they let me grow.

My anger emerges again…I feel powerful and alive again. I start to see how my power is connected to my sexuality…and I gave my power away to my mother…
As this new theraphist said: Your mother has your balls in her nightstand.
I am finally claiming my power back.

Allready super looking forward to my life when all this is done. And how strong I will be after this test of my masculinity…I am becoming a man right now.

Intense day today again…had a meeting with a woman I connected with on tinder. Shes also into shamanism. Was interesting, but I felt that that woman is quite ungrounded and a bit psychotic and has super weak energetic boundaries.

After that I was at my old school…where I was from 10-18…it was around the corner from where we met. It was intense to go there…moved a lot of emotions. After that I was at the paramedic station in the next village…where I did civil service. It was good to go to those places and collect lost parts from me…and to see how good I have integrated those times of my life.

Then Neurofeedback…the sessions get better and better.So much is getting processed in these sessions in my mind.
After the session I feel so good. I feel like my subliminal loops from yesterday have finished processing and have went into execution.
The stack of WB and GLM feels amazing. GLM really gives WB a really nice edge.

Yesterday Ayahuasca Solo again. It was a new way of interacting with the medicine.
She basically told me: You are capable, you dont need my guidance today, do your own healing.
Most of the ceremony was about my anger. About all the bullshit I tell myself. All this stories of weakness I told myself in the past. All the times where I made myself small.
I am over with this. I am an adult man. A capable adult man. And I demand to be treated like that.

Getting that push of trust from ayahuasca was actually quite nice. It was touching my heart and my inner child part.

Today I started throwing stuff away again…why the fuck do I own so much stuff? Why the fuck did I think that I needed 6 cooking knifes? Why do I need 7 pans?
I know it. It is because I took over my parents conditioning. And this post world war hunger for safety. But we no longer live in that times. I live in a life of abundance.

Rapé…The question that comes to my mind: how do I decide what I need in my new life? Which things to keep?
How many of my yoga props I want to keep…how many of my music instruments?
Which things do I let go of?
Do I let go of my snowboard after now not using it 4 years?
How many memorabilia do I need to my past live?

I want to be a man looking into the future. Not being cought by the past. Though I learned in an astrology class, that it is very important for me to look back at my life. To see my progress. So its all about creating a balance. So I want to keep some memorabilia…to look back at the times of my life of achievement. And also to look back on the hardships of my life…to see that I have conquered them. So I can put the mental energy into them.

The rape calmed me down from my anger. I need to reevaluate my relationship with it I think. Really start to see what it does to me…there is a nagging thought in my head that it takes away my drive. That it fills my dopamine easily and by that takes away the want to change things. On the other hand it helps me calm down. Not get lost in the anger and also take some time to reflect and think.

The old patterns of thinking about my parents, how I influence their lives comes back and back. There is still a part inside of me that thinks it is responsible for my parents. That needs to protect them. But this is simply wrong. This is an outdated believe…
The comparison that so oftem comes is when I broke up with my ex…where I was thinking about the consequences for her life when we broke up. But this is no healthy way of thinking.
