Hi, I go by Not Important at the DhO. I'll try to update this regularly. I used to go by James so you probably know me at the DhO, I'm not a troll don't worry.
Recently I've been working with the "four right exertions". They are an intense practice dedicated to eliminating unwholesome thoughts and giving rise to wholesome ones. Usually I try to give rise to sincerity and pure exertion, thus far I've been successful in this and have destroyed some of the influxes.
However my momentum is faultering and I find myself unsure of what to do next? I'm pulled toward the DhO to continue to progress, but am not entirely sure of what to do exactly. To be clear though: I'm not considering insight practice or any variation thereof as they just plainly don't work for me. The strivings have always worked for me. I used to feel intense angst/being at the center of my chest, this is now gone, along with remorse, so that's good. Now I'm just interested in being done with this.
