Thanks a lot for your comment!
I like to see that you are really engaging :)

I also used this method (if you want to call it a method) in the last years.

Ignorance is no bliss, that's for sure!
But why do you want to Control something? In this uncontrollable everchanging world, we often lead to try to control things, or hold things stable to get more feeling of security.

On the one hand, embracing your shadows will brighten them up and make them smaller, Fighting them, will make them stronger.

Or on the other hand, If you ask yourself questions like "where do this earthly pleasures come from?" "what is the source of this?" "who is wanting this?" you could find an answer, wich is totally laughable and your desire as such vanishes. :)

And thanks for your tips, I check everything and try to expand here on steemit :D
