I think a lot of people here have had similar thoughts/feelings as you do now. I know I did. I would say that what you would really like is found into expanding into/coming into/aligning with what you already are. And you can do that by just following what is most attractive to you (in this moment), which could even be as simple as taking a walk, without judging any of these things as meaningless or whatever. Perhaps you think/feel all of these things are meaningless because you don't feel anymore that the answers are found in chasing or pursuing worldly success as so many people do. But perhaps at times we may call things meaningless too when we want to avoid dealing with certain things. But you can always take these things slow

@Space Never seen something of him before, but I feel at ease with his vibe and am curious what he talks about. Might check out something of him later, thanks for the share

Well when these beliefs feel true, then perhaps you can take that as an indication that the thoughts you've written down are in alignment with what you believe. You can examine why it seems logical for you to believe these core beliefs. Perhaps then you see that they are based on nonsense so to speak and then they release. It also can be helpful, that when you've done that, to choose a thought that does feel good to you. If you reach for a new good feeling thought, in my experience you will feel the energy of that new thought immediately

My thoughts on the matter: Well two things come up here for me. One is that people may want all their desires to manifest instantly, where that is not how it goes and may not be what you would actually want. It comes at the appropriate moment. The other point is that if you hold a negative thought about something you would like, you block it or slow it down from appearing/manifesting (to a degree) Well, how I understand it is you are (pretty much) experiencing the reflections of your energies and beliefs, so in that way you are not dealing with things beyond your conscious control. What I've heard from Bashar is that there are themes you set out to explore in this life, but that how you do that, is up to you. I think he explained it like you will walk down a certain hall, but how you do that, is up to you. Something I also remember is that the things you are struggling with now, are things you intended to explore. As I understand it what comes your path is also orchistrated by your soul/higher mind, it guides you by giving you things that are attracting/exciting to follow and attempts to guide you in that way towards the path of least resistance to all you really want.

I play guitar for quite a while, mostly fingerpicking, and have started playing with a synthesizer lately. Perhaps I'll upload something to youtube and share here when I feel like it

I would say that you're not really wanting to live in Harry Potter's world, but you just like the way it makes you feel. You don't need to live in Hogwarts in order to feel that sense of wonder and magic. You can just keep focusing on the things that make you feel good, and you'll end up feeling good

Perhaps it just gets you out of your own bad thought space for the moment. Like @Eph75 said.

@Someone here Ugh, that sounds challenging. I've had a period too not to long ago where anxieties and worries got big enough to result in panic attacks. So I know what that can be like.. not nice, I feel you man. Would you like to talk about it, have suggestions (like what I feel helped me) or you just wanted to express yourself in this thread?

I didn't read everything, but here my 2 cents. If you think about playing video games, check how you feel. Do you feel enthusiasm, excitement, a sense of relaxation, or such? Does it feel good to do? Then I would say go for it. OR is the feeling one of looking to numb yourself, of distracting yourself. Maybe the feeling is one of wanting to induldge in something so that you can not feel certain things and is a way of letting the day go by that way as a way of avoid feeling a sense of drag, unease or emptiness or such. I would expect it is rather the last one, but that's for you to check and decide.

@Gianna

@Gianna Well I found that when I got in a certain state, I suddenly remembered some of my previous experiences at these states, I think maybe because I got in a similar frequency as previously and therefore could remember it. Not sure about that though Bashar says something like 'you can only perceive what you are the vibration off'

@Bazooka Jesus Don't find it sorry sorry, not even the one not finding it is found

@Bazooka Jesus Not even anyone to read or hear the message. Might as well take this whole forum down. Although of course, there wouldn't be anyone taking it down so why the bother

I like the 'method' of letting go of control and going what feels best to do in every moment

Well, if by dissociation you mean dissociation from the identity, then yeah agreed. It's getting out of your mind. But I would think that you might not be able to recall the experiences you talk about because you're not in the right frequency to remember those

In a period I was seeing many numbers, and I got bothered by it after a while lol. A sense that I couldn't shake them off. Stop focusing on it, and you may find yourself not experiencing it so much again. Use that focus, that synchronicity, for tasks that actually make you feel good.

@Surfingthewave Very welcome, thy art @kamwalker 'that is almost felt unfair', lol, I can imagine such a reaction. I think if you like reading and watching video's, then that is great. But if there is a sense of fear (anxiety) behind it, of wanting to grab something, then perhaps take a breath and feel what actually feels best to do.

Letting go means giving up to try to make it happen. Mind wants to get a hold of what it thinks will satisfy it, but the mind can't do it, it can't make it happen. You can't make it happen. Trying to make it happen is an anxious energy, a tension. You can't get to freedom, to relaxation by practicing that energy, that tension. You can only let go, and "let it happen". Letting go doesn't mean giving in to tendencies to numb or distract yourself, such as busying oneself with Facebook, Youtube, eating, etc. Let go of those tendencies and do what feels best in the body instead (instead of what the mind projects will be satisfying and fulfilling), even if that means feeling some of the discomfort, unhappiness, that's been attempted to not feel. Give up to find things like relationships in order to find safety, satisfaction, fulfillment and such. Let go of trying to look for meaning in a philosophies, group, and whatnot. Let go of trying to understand things in order to attempt to get what you want. Let go of trying to become someone. Just let go of seeking, let control go. Let go of trying to steer the ship, you can't do it, and you actually really have no clue what is best for you and how to bring that about. Follow the current of life. Let life guide your boat. Do what feels best to do, which is just going with the flow in a sense. When you're attempting to align with what actually feels good, you'll become a better and better sensor for what actually resonates with you, what feels good to you, and you'll learn to discern that from those energies of 'trying to make it happen', which can be labeled as anxiety, which the mind may try to fool itself into believing is excitement. You'll get better at that discernment between negative based energies such as anxiety, looking for meaning, looking for satisfaction and on the other hand positive energies that are of joy, relaxation, inspiration, etc. When letting go, things will get simpler, when things get simpler you'll start feeling better. More neutrality comes, more soberness comes, more freedom comes. Then joy comes, the joy of being free. And when joy comes, perhaps the law of attraction will now give you all the things that mirror your good feeling state.

Ah, love that

I saw this video bump on my Youtube page, and thought that some people on this forum might be excited by such a talk.

@Nivsch Sure. For me the best thoughts of self love in a moment of turmoil often came down to something like knowing that it doesn't really matters what happens or what others think because I can always love my self- or reach for loving self thoughts- and that thereby I couldn't do different than feeling well

@T K W A N I think that's very good. I'm not listening to either Tony nor Sadhguru, although I might sometimes enjoy some perspective or story by Sadhguru. "a lot of the time they make a whole lot of nothing sound like something", lol, that resonates.

@Bob Seeker Yes, I resonate with what you say. I also follow some guidelines by sources I trust, which are actually about following my own inner guidance, so it's in a way not really something external I'm following, but anyway. There was a time where I wasn't very mentally stable and Jed sometimes gave me some suggestions or told me some things and I'm not so sure that was very helpful at all at those times lol. I don't think you need to question every method that you follow, perhaps just see if it resonates

@Bob Seeker I do, but he passed away recently. In my view he was more gentle than portrayed in the books. I would say he might have suggested to let the attempt to integrate him go.. well if you'd have asked him for a suggestion anyway

@Alysssa Lol, no. that's something elsexD Look for bashar channeled by darryl anka
