@Zeroguy You gotta not like it. Why aren’t making your life purpose slinging life purpose over there? Seems like a synergistic no brainer. Or maybe it’s a two birds one stone.

Dreambored or dreamboard. Your life can be the ideal of your imagination. It already is. What’s next? What are you looking forward to? That, you are creating, now.

The point of a retreat at large is non-doing, non-chasing; the realization you’re tripping balls right now on a hallucination of “reality”. ‘Water into wine’ .

@Twega From a different perspective… have you considered spiral dynamics in regard to countries further up the spiral, as maps showing you what’s coming, what’s next, for the country you are in? Another way to say that… what’s going to happen is going to happen, and much money is going to be made. The variable is if you’re ‘seeing’ this & inspired to be a part of it. Someone, many someone’s, will. When you are talking about turquoise ceos, is all focus on a concept, or is there room to see them when they are ‘in your midst’? They might not be as indicative of your idea or concept of them.

@sara373 How to overcome sadness and overly sensitive? One sensitive, or ‘overly’ sensitive, is not sad. One sensitive is too sensitive to entertain discordant thoughts. To heal them, you must first find them. If you can not find them, maybe you are creating the emotional experience ‘as you go’, or ‘on the fly’, and that is the key insight. What is the ‘message’ of feeling in these cases? What is the ‘lesson’, in regard to sifting through perspectives? Maybe the answer is you’ve identified as overly sensitive in relation to others - and something just isn’t quite ‘fitting’ there. If “I am overly sensitive”, then how I feel can’t possibly be only related to the perspective I hold & the thoughts I focus on… to how and what I think… because it is already defined & believed as related to other people. What if it’s not, at all? What if actual liberation sounds cold at first, but isn’t, at all? See if it can be realized ‘things and people can emotionally bruise me’ is a thought in your direct experience, and that thought is felt. Try to feel other people thoughts on purpose. Like, in the literal sense… be telepathic, know what someone else is thinking, write it down, and see how other people’s thought feel to you. Also consider they are feeling their thoughts, and you yours, so to speak. What if you are literally creating reality, ‘in the now’? If that is actual, to discover this would be the greatest possible joy.

@Twega How is the country you live in the most beneficial factor? The very key & insight to ease in terms of financial success? Likewise, what if turquoise CEO’s of major companies are ‘hidden in plain sight’?

Might be the perspective, the framing. Never thought of excitement as something an I needed to deal with. Interesting take on excitement.

@TheRealVibe Thanks. ‘Me’ll’ be glad when ‘it’ clicks. ??

‘I have suffered a lot post myself’ has an odder, but more clarifying ring to it, no? (What is a self referential thought) I gotta imagine that’s helpful. ?? @sara373 No, greater suffering definitely does not make a you ‘higher’. Life isn’t grueling, life is undefinable. The suffering is in the knowing life is grueling, or in the inherent response to that thought / perspective. The ‘being the knower’ that ‘life is suffering’, the one separate from ‘life’ who knows this is ‘true’. Self Inquiry… exactly who or what is this one who knows suffering?

@Emmad Awesomely hilarious for nobody.

@iboughtleosbooklist Yes! ??

If you’re not focused on thoughts… how does it seem the feeling is do to thoughts…? I’d write bout how you feel each day, and or talk with someone about how you feel. Lot of expression to do so the mind can more naturally rest.

Immutable as in unsusceptible to change, regardless of perspective, belief, etc.

Self-actualization as in consciousness, is undefinable and incommunicable. ‘It’ is consciousness doesn’t help much, as there is only consciousness. Like a thought about a drink of water isn’t a drink of water. Self actualization as in psychology is a term coined by Maslow https://www.simplypsychology.org/maslow.html. It’s a model. A way of explaining. For a clear mind. The want is ample in & of itself, and change is easier without adding thoughts about consciousness, etc, etc. Not meant sarcastically, but the only answer is your own (so to speak) self realization.

@Javfly33 This could be very timely & helpful.

Yes and no.

@TheRealVibe ?…? Posted a 3 minute video today, ‘what is a self referential thought’, might like it. You’re quite the reality bending Attractor! The Real Vibe indeed!

What he’s saying is perfectly clear. All is projection, indeed. He’s saying the same thing @James123 said, the same thing the Buddha said, and the same thing Jesus said, or were attributed as having said. The inferior egoic bs however, is the reframing of what he shared, as if said visions are ‘inferior egoic bs’.

Does ‘zoning out’ equal no experience of ‘excessive theorizing/thinking’? Or are you sort of just sitting there focused on thoughts, rather than feeling breathing front the stomach? https://www.actualityofbeing.com/basic-meditation-posture-balance-relaxation-body-scan

There might not be an actuality to the implied simultaneity of understanding and coping. Some overlap over in way, but, maybe a worthwhile point. (The yawn emoji was hysterical btw)

What’ ‘everything’? Rhetorical, doesn’t matter. The non-repetition of thoughts which veil matters, as in, is relevant. The freeing of the mind. Doesn’t matter really. The suggestion wasn’t to think & understand, but to imagine & feel. Worthwhile inquiry imo. “My thoughts are thinking” is one thought. Maybe something else to notice that might ‘click’ / be helpful… The dogmatic love to take pokes at the seekers, and the seekers love to take pokes at the dogmatic, while both are believing it’s somewhere else, another time, this other thing, this other no thing, someone else.

Non-conceptual. Literally Ineffable. Unthinkable. Unbelievable. It’s a ‘look what’s goin on’, not an analogy. There’s not I and an it. You’re being. Thoughts about yourself are not about yourself, but seem to be about yourself. Yourself is the awareness of the thoughts.

Thanks. ? That ‘you’ that would have to be more grounded… ? that’s a self ref thought. You’re the ground. The awareness of the thought… about a you. Try directing attention outwardly… as if you’re unthinkable, creating what’s literally ‘in front of you’. ??

Cause you’re dispelling your own illusions. self inquiry. You’re moving the nonsense needle a bit there. If we become conscious of the duality between self and other? Imagine just one household with parents that are innocently caught up in their own shenanigans. Not much mindfulness of their kids spiritual well being, creativity, or direction in life. Little to no awareness they are creating their reality. Imagine the things the kids might go to as attempts to ‘fill that hole’. Then google “Leo Gura’s Life Purpose Course”, and imagine those kids experiencing the arising of their own creative visions for themselves and their lives. Literally feel the connectivity & inspiration on their behalf as you imagine this. Imagine them as they discover a real sense of worth, and create a life worthwhile to them. They fit in. They have a place here. Their talents & passions are valued, and the culmination of it is needed here. They feel connection, they contribute to betterment, they are part of the bigger whole, they feel the truth in reciprocity, they are conscious creators. This easily leads to a better, happier life. That leads to a better, happier world, and that is on the cusp of the realization happiness is reality. This is your creation already.
