There are three categories of SS: Those who do nothing (Must avoid), those who do too much and can burn themselves (Must avoid) and those who do what is good in accordance to expanding their limits, those in the balance (One must seek to be in this category).
In other posts there is a tendency to discuss those who do not do a much or anything at all. That's because these people need more help to get up and solve certain issues, for their own sake first and foremost.
Now in regard to those who are doing a lot and have taken the path and walk it, there are a few factors to consider. These factors here are how you can know if you are overdoing it, so you can cut back a little bit and not fry yourself.
The path is supposed to keep you at a good shape. If you fry, you are not in good shape.
There is a common misconception that if you do crazy amounts of things you will evolve faster. But if you do too much to the point that if you fry, you will be fried and not evolved. The delicate balance here is to press limits when the time is right, and not constantly be on the verge of collapse.
So here is a list of symptoms to know if you are being extremely pressed. If you have a very demanding life, these can also factor in.
1. A very typical situation when one does too much meditation, is basically that one will start getting twitches and other nervous spams. Eyelids spasming, affected night sleep, sudden rashes of energy coupled by major energy lows. If you overdo excessive empowerment, pain ranging from mild to major could arise (in extreme cases) that is also a bad sign; you are over-feeding yourself with bioelectricity.
2. The above might be coupled with depression, or very sudden changes in mood. Cloud nine one time, then crashing down.
3. If one has depressive tendencies or extreme energy demand in their lives, the above can combine.
4. Meditation should not be pursued like a mad-man chasing things all the time. It should be seen as a form of nutrition to the self. If you are depleted, you must start feeding a hungry person (the soul in this case) bit by bit. Shoving food down the throat of a person who cannot eat, will result in expulsion of said food. But slowly giving the soul food over time (until it restored it's faculty to be fed) is the correct way to go.
5. Doing extremely long hours of meditation, can have opposite effect of frying. Frying will be characterised as staying on top limits all the time, and then a major crash will follow. One must end their meditations on a pleasant note, not feeling like you raised a thousand boulders. This cannot be the constant feeling. This can be done once in a while to push certain limits, or on demanding situations.
Knowing your limits is not always very easy, but if you pay attention to signs like the above, they can be a good compass. If you are doing meditation on the amount you need, it will be like pleasantly drinking water and maybe sometimes being a little too full. But it will not be like you want to puke ten gallons of water. If one feels extreme pressures of this nature, it means the body has not yet adjusted to higher levels of bioelectricity, and that one must cut back.
To take an example of cleansing meditation. One wants to gradually start dealing with certain things let's say revolving around fear, or blockages, or freeing one's soul. Let's say you want to resolve a psychological problem, and you want to start cleaning the soul.
Clearly one wants to do this "Quickly" as the nature of humans is to want instanteneous solutions to want to end certain blockages as early as possible. That is understandable.
If one does too much cleaning, in the same way that one cleans a material and they clean it so much they scrap pieces out of it, one is not going "Faster", they are just destroying this material. Symptoms in the case here would include for example, depression or sadness that is so overwhelming and so bad, that it can reach disabling extents.
Like being a plumber which must un-clog a tunnel, you must pay attention to open the tunnel up gradually so the blocking materials can come out. First one is notified on the pipe that it is blocked in the sense that it does not get water in; then you watch there is hair and other trash inside the tunnel.
If you give a powerful hit on the soul, or in this example, the water tunnel, the water pipe can break and the bathroom will become a mess. A lot more negativity might come out than what one can handle. While one might think the power tool will always solve this issue, that is in many cases NOT the case. I learned this the HARD way, so I am sharing here with everyone else.
Little by little one must take the sludge out. The bigger bucket [your tolerance to energy, and your ability to self control] the more things you can pull out, step by step, until the dross is gone.
Of course warnings like the above due to conspiracy theories that want me to be an asshole that wants to delay anything, is something some will not heed. These people will take the sledgehammer and go break down the hole pipe. But then the result is that you will likely have a lot more work to do after this. Things will become really messy.
This mess might range from making the bathroom disgusting and costing you much more time to fix with sludge all over the bathroom. Even in the case of PTSD and other patients with traumatic experience, care, love and patience is required to take the pains out. No man has improved via the sledgehammer.
Those who use the sledgehammer, are oftentimes very good in construction (means they have prior experience, they can use it). Using a sledgehammer to put something on the wall of your house is also not recommended. That's to give a visual on how one should approach meditation with measure.
Driving all the issues out on one go, will not only not take these issues out, but will rather multiply the issues one already has [lack of control]. In cases like the above, imagine if one starts reliving the PTSD event slowly, bit by bit, and putting in the puzzle together, or instead having the whole torrent of the problem hit them on the head, straight up. That will be far worse than the slower method; one is being very much delayed by this.
While you could have gradually and carefully finished this little by little by the use of a bucket. It's better to go slowly here, than to go fast. Because if one wants to go brutal and fast and the accident I describe above happens, then you will have a lot more work to do - and far nastier work.
The above is actually the fastest way, because the more you avoid the risks which are beyond management, the LESS time you will spend. I speak from experience of having used sledgehammers many times in my progression, and having to go back and repair whole pipes as a result. I wish I knew what I teach today to others, before I used the sledgehammers.
Sledgehammer, in this case, major pressure, should be used only when the need warrants it, not with everything. I learned from my mistakes. It felt cool to use a sledgehammer but it was not supposed to be used to put a delicate bolt on the wall. Then I had to build the collapsed wall all over again. Delays, pain and the feeling of being stupid or fried, did ensue as a result. I learned this and moved on.
Moderate speed and gradual, continuous, is oftentimes the fastest and the best way to solve many issues, succeed in workings, and attain major breakthroughs in your progression.
One does not need to fry themselves to succeed, just be repetitive and consistent in the work. And the work will happen because of this, and very successfully so.
