I am relatively new to it (few months) but have found what I was looking for simply by understanding that I am not my thoughts, that without them I still exist. I began to understand that thoughts are a lot like weather, or like throwing a rock in a pond. For me, I was able to move from that realization to being able to not get swept up in thoughts.
Is there a personal e-mail I could contact you through? I've been in a rut for a number of years now (had a company that succeeded, was unhappy, now I don't really know what to do) and recently my thoughts about the future have been driving me a bit insane.
I tried to find a way to DM you on Hacker News, but that doesn't seem to be a feature.

I have my email on my account page.
