@ExploringReality my sister in law teaches primary school. She has made a few comments about how literacy levels have dropped in each grade from 10 years ago.

If you read in particular what I am questioning - it is not their existence. It is HOW that is known. The OP said 'vibes'. That's a huge step from seeing, touching and feeling a being for yourself directly. I am pointing at the fact that you cannot listen to someone profess and then make a claim reptilians are real. That is hearsay. If OP claimed they had seen, been in a reptilians presence and experienced them? That's something else entirely. OP claims reptilians are a thing based on vibes. I am saying that's not enough to make the claim they exist. Not that they do not exist

You misunderstand. I don't deny that. My claim is the response can be controlled, not the reaction. There's a big distinction there. If you haven't realised it my posts won't make sense.

No. Not always will you experience a negative emotion. You are projecting your experience and erasing the varied and myriad expressions of human reaction. Not everyone reacts the same. You know this. Bolded by me is the limiting false belief that needs to be investigated. Will you get shat on? Question this. Used to? Question this. You asked for help. If you want to carry on ignoring answers and insisting you already have them, then I have nothing to pass on because your questions is rhetorical. Why ask if you insist on your own conclusions and answers?

It's a translation thing. Not perspective.

You might react, have an emotion. But you choose to respond and choose what you let govern your response. It's a choice. Someone yelled at me in the manner you describe today, I did not have any such reaction. I chose not to respond. I did not immediately experience the sensations you describe. Or at all. Again. How you respond is within your control.

I was going to point this out in my own twisted words but yours are far more succint. I would have said 'Okay, but you will end up jabbering to only yourself locked in a room'

Fresh prince of bell air. The office. Parks and recreation. Friends. Seinfeld. 30 Rock. Gilmore girls. Arrested development. CSI. Greys anatomy. Curb your enthusiasm. Malcom in the middle. How I met your mother.

This is like the pot calling the kettle black. Again - COME ON. I am being the voice of reason here. Everything presented so far has been hearsay! You look at remote viewing, past lives, non-local awareness. There is significant and provoking findings there. Reptilians? Theres a huge jump there and some irresponsible epistemology. Zero evidence. If evidence did come out? Cool okay, we have reptilians n shit. But you have NOTHING.

- inability to sit with, and endure discomfort - low resilince But these could be simple functions of a lack of experience. The gen Z employees I have trained show way different responses to older folks. They tend to get rattled by frustration really easily. It's so hard to work out of it is maturity or a generational change....

This is a judgement. It misses the point. Trauma can change where you derive meaning. People who have overcome trauma aren't necessarily glorifying it, but reclaiming sovereignty and authorship from something that once stripped them of control. It doesn't have to have any attachment to a story involved for it to change trajectory. In the end much of this work is about dissolving conditioning - which can be trauma.

This is a great share and reflects a lot of my own journey. Just in a different domain. I feel a great motivation and compulsion to prevent physical, sexual and emotional abuse in my workplace and in interpersonal relationships. Healing also taught me how important boundaries are to wellbeing and our ability to serve ourselves first, so we can always be there for, and give back to, others. Be our best for others. And this means never abandoning ourselves. We put on our own oxygen mask in a flight emergency first. I often step in to prevent abuse and issues. But not at my own expense and always best outcome mutually. I myself, previously, took a lot of pride in my ability to withstand negative pressure and environments. Pride in my resilience. But this pride was something I had to learn to discard as often people make themselves martyrs. And it has the propensity to enable abuse that can cause trauma 'I can handle his violence'. Many people fall prey to taking pride in their ability to withstand abuse. I tend to reach out and assist those who display those previous traits I had, to prevent unconscious trauma. Sometimes I cannot stop myself. Healing from trauma can give one a saviour complex that can also be detrimental in other ways. It is a good warning not to make ones healing from trauma (and attachment to story) a huge focus. It can hold us back in other ways we do not foresee.

@integral Thats fair - I just note that is not typically what most people refer to as their definition of trauma. Samskara is a good word for it - an emotional echo that leaves a malfunctioning pattern in our thinking and behaviour after the event. Like a broken program running on a loop, inhibiting the sufferer from functioning. I think it physical and emotional trauma should be a distinction. For example - I have a TBI. Physical trauma. I also had CPTSD.

I am not sure about that. I was terribly damaged and non-functional as a result of what I endured. It was diagnosed as CPTSD by medical professionals. I have since healed recovered from CPTSD. Does this mean I did not suffer a traumatic event? Trauma is not an official, formal diagnosis. Trauma is a deeply distressing event that overwhelms an individual’s ability to cope. @Lila9 100%
