When I know nothing is real? When I realized I am a pawn in this fricked up game of life, existing just to produce loosh? I realized all of that, but I cannot move on from there on. I am tired. Exhausted and fricked up. Been chewed on and spit out. I dont feel like I can just keep moving forward. But everyone keeps telling me suicide is not the right solution for the spiritual problems. That I will shock my body and just reincarnate and go through all of this again. Yet, everything hurts right here and right now. How do I take the next step in my enlightment journey? Everything is dark, and things are the same as they have ever been, only with the knowing which makes it all so much worse.

Do you know nothing is real?
Yes, I undestand. But what am I supposed to do about it? Can I kill myself to escape? Or do I just keep living trying to change things here? Whats the point?
You just said loosh is currency so make good loosh and dont give any to baddies dumb frick then yer life will improve if you doing it right qnd not a idiot liar
If you know you don't know then how do you know the way you're feeling is genuine and not manufactured? would you feel as compelled to MAKE yourself feel that way if it were the latter? find a place of neutrality in your mind where you can reassess what you have learned up until this point that has made you feel this way.
I may have been in the same predicament you are in now. If I understand you right then my advice is the following:
The key word is ~~*perspective*~~. The outside world is not the problem but your attitude towards it is what's causing you grief. If you can change the outside go for it but I would say it's not yours to fix, so shift your focus inside and change your perspective on the things that distress you and these things won't affect you in the same manner. Things affect you in the way or as much as you allow them to (sounds corny but it's true).
As an example I heard it said that "life doesn't happen to you it happens for you". In that statement I learned to shift my perspective into being thankful for the obstacles I face for they are an opportunity to grow spiritually and develop some qualities such as patience, compassion, empathy etc. (these are spiritually uplifting traits you want to develop).
If you change your point of view inwardly and see the world's faults in yourself, and work towards chipping away at these faults and start developing virtues, then your are one big step towards enlightenment.
From one seeker to another: In the darkest of places is where the light can be seen the clearest, you just have to shift your attention inwardly to see it. good luck on your journey and know that you are loved.
Not OP but this is best advice I've read all week. Thank you kind anon
I feel the same way op. I feel like I should give up on trying to be happy or enjoy life, because I never will, and even if I do for a while that's when something bad will happen and make everything even worse than before.
Why are we still here? Just to suffer? Every night, I can feel my leg... And my arm... even my fingers... The body I've lost... the comrades I've lost... won't stop hurting... It's like they're all still there. You feel it, too, don't you? I'm gonna make them give back our past! *cries*
Do you even understand HOW or WHY nothing is real?

Samsara is nirvana. Do good deeds and you will be rewarded with good karma which will eventually lead to enlightenment. Also remember nothing is permanent, even wheel of reincarnations are not permanent.

Positive attitude is more than you think it is. This Earth is a club. You walked into it. You are now at the mercy of the club’s management. Is the club safe? Dirty? Vibing? Not vibing? So you would think. Well, I’m fricked aren’t I?
Perhaps. Ember that all is mind and through visualization and keeping a positive attitude towards this place you find yourself in you can set yourself on a path of manifesting a better club or a better self. I would side with the focus on your self side of this debate if I am being truthful. The club is shit. You don’t own the club. The club’s rules can’t be changed by you or me. The club is shit for a reason, changing its nature would be a fool’s errand and done fundamentally in bad faith as you and the club are separate entities and by changing another entity for your own benefit will keep you from leaving the shitty club and reaching better places. It’s best to focus on self-improvement and searching for way to transcend the club and its bullshit. As I said before, the club is here almost to test us. See if we are ready to grow up and leave. By adopting a positive attitude in spite of how shitty this “club” (i.e. Earth) is you will start to notice an improvement in your own life. You are now exercising, reading new books, discovering the secrets of ages past, creating art and beauty or perhaps new life. You don’t have to do that but those are just what you can do here to improve yourself. One path of many. By making yourself better you will inevitably make the world a little better by making yourself divine you have made this world a little better through the grace of divinity. Eventually you will transcend this world and not leave it in total death and rebirth but go on to a better place and start anew there. Good luck OP.
Begin your path into buddhism in order to learn the roots of suffering in humans, and how to escape suffering permanently. You will begin meditating longer and longer and each time you do, you will begin reaching a true state of non-existance. Nothing will ever be able to disturb you again
Yeah I feel the same way. This is a shitshow. I want to leave and never return.
