@Nos7algiK Also perfectly clear. Nice. ??

Does lego guy trust legos?

@Godishere TItle’s missing the all telling apostrophe.

@Someone here Look for the punchline.

@machiavelli Take attention off the thought story about you / what you want / what’s happening “to you”, or ‘you’ as ‘the meditator’… and return attention to feeling breathing from the stomach. Allow the body mind to relax more & more deeply. Repeat each time it is noticed attention is again on thoughts. Don’t add a secondary story about you, like ‘I suck at meditation’, ‘x, y or z is happening to me’, etc. Keep. It. Simple. Just gently, effortlessly, return attention to feeling breathing in the stomach. Even thoughts that arise about “I’m” breathing or “I’m” not breathing etc… just return attention to breathing of the stomach. If meditation is too uncomfortable, don’t try to force anything, and don’t make any assumptions anything is ‘wrong’, or that you’re ‘doing it wrong’. Just take a few minutes to write on paper about how you feel. Allow whatever arises to arise, and be expressed. I agree with @Vignan. If a certain experience is what’s desired, don’t expect it to come from meditation. Experience has nothing to do with meditation… just put it on the calendar, and go have that experience. Enjoy.

Mother: ‘honey that’s utter nonsense, you doesn’t exist’.

Meditation.

The celebration. ?

Excellent. ???

In America you have to divorce just to get half your income.

@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.
