Wich is fine and all that, but it causes me to feel like shit for the moment. Everything, even death, seems hollow and boring to me. I feel this intens feeling of unhappynes, sadness, melancholy if you will. If you want a complete description of what exactly it is, google has good results. Could anyone provide me with some guidance, so that i may awake from this night a well rested man? Or perhaps some real life experiences, its always more interesting than regurgitated googleisms.

Then one can open the heart chakra to universal love/compassion. I can't even love myself right now, cannot overcome my fears that the ego manifests into attachments. The work goes on. That part always sucks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I think everyone is there, or at least there a good part of their life (I have worked with a lot of people and been there done that myself). Meditating on opening up and love for months helped a lot for me, but it was damn hard. And it's not like suddenly we wake up changed on day, it is all in stages, darn! Best of luck with this Mediocracy. I recommend the book God is a Verb if you are into the Kabbalistic stuff at all.
