What she’s sharing is worthy of your consideration.

@SQAAD Awesome insights. ??

By inspecting that belief.

‘Them’ is appearance, ‘how’ is what is. Nothing, or, no thing. ‘How’ is formless, view, appearance. Seeing, seen & unseen, is illusory. If you and a blind person are looking at a ferris wheel, it could be said you are seeing and he is not. If there is no ferris wheel, and he is well aware and you are not, it could be said he is seeing and you are not.

All distinctions are (‘made of’) what is without causation or duality. A distinction can appear and be believed, yet never actually made.

First create a dreamboard. Express outwardly and see what you want in front of you (vs swirling around in your head). Start to viscerally connect with feeling, and your ‘why’s’, or, what inspires you (rather than what you’re motivated to avoid). Start to shift what you’re focusing on from yourself, ‘your’ fear, avoidance & substances as solutions... to what you desire to experience in your life, and consciously co-creating it. A clean diet, fitness, twice daily meditation, first earliest in the morning prior to thought activity, screens, people, etc. If you’re new to meditation I’d start with this one. Let the catch all of ‘my fear’ go, and instead choose to inspect & understand the emotions you’re creating. Begin to do so consciously. Takes time for things to ‘click’ and fall into place. Meditation helps with clarity, patience, appreciation and expression, which are the underlying key to everything you want. Then when you take psychedelics you’re not tripping and trying to simultaneously address monkey mind and emotional discord, as it will already have been addressed. Your trips will begin to be smoother and far more productive so to speak in terms of well being and sifting through to deeper and deeper alignment in truth. Overall, you are like a flashlight... anything you put your attention on is illuminated, clarified, demystified and de-fear-afied for you. Perpetuating fear strictly requires avoidance. Without avoidance, there is no experience of fear. The dreamboard is a life changing experience in this regard, as you shift from focusing on avoiding what you don’t want, to inspiration and alignment of thought, feeling and source, in regard to what you do want, and reality becomes what you do want. This is not thinkable or believable, you must directly experience it, however, none of this requires any effort whatsoever. This will culminate into dispelling the question of “how do I know when I’m there?”.

? Love it. Well done.

Lay a solid foundation first.

Less conditional experiencing / joy. Yes. Try everything. Only direct experience counts, so to speak. Absolutely. Take Leo’s life purpose course. Don’t hesitate or think about it. A strong sense of purpose Is fundamentally deeply connective and inspiring.

Have you tried daily practices like meditation, yoga, breathing, seeing - hearing - feeling, expressing, etc? If interested in reading some short descriptions, here are some which are focused less on thinking (about what other people think) and more on feeling, emotional understanding & mental and social equanimity. You also might find this article on the ten ox pics interesting and insightful, if you’ve not seen it yet. You might be experiencing similarly to the description of the first picture. I’d also get stuff out of the head and into the room. Write down a few things you’d to like to change in your experience. This will help you not only connect more in feeling, but focus much less on what others might or might not think or feel. I’d also google and read a few sources on projection. If you notice you don’t like how you’re feeling... switch from thinking about yourself, to what you want to create and experience. Take note of that shift in better feeling. I do not mean to imply you are vein or anything like that. It is a very “real” felt energetic shift and realization, which is very aligned with direct experience. Tuning & calibrating how you feel will very much jive with direct experience. I would go so far as to say the universe has been waiting your entire life for you to begin this. I’d be as open minded as is possible, to consider you might be completely misunderstanding the feelings you’re experiencing. It is possible it all actually makes perfect sense and is whole and harmonious, and those feelings are inviting you to inspect, and play, and co-create.

Any story you tell about yourself comes true. Psychedelics will show you this by clearing away the falsity of the currently repeating story. It’s hard to see it’s not true about you when it’s repeating. Psychedelics really shine here. To lessen the lesson psychedelics will one day show, begin telling a good feeling story, and only a good feeling story, about yourself. The simple practice of improv writing is super effective for this. What would be BY FAR more lasting and effective, is understanding conditioning and emotions, and not believing thoughts about yourself. Takes time, but when you reorient in this way, time is a mute point because you’re literally feeling better and better everyday, just for the alignment with the choice and intention, of your own well being. Don’t underestimate alignment with well being, feeling better is the only ‘thing’ you actually want. Magically, when you do this and do feel great, it is as if you have ten times the focus, patience, and clarity. Beliefs and the repetition of the stories about yourself (vs understanding the emotions you’re experiencing) cloud the lens, making it seem like there is a lack of clarity. When you inspect those beliefs, it’s very much popping bubbles of goodness, the very goodness of feeling that it desired, and clearing the lens of focus. Alignment with well being (including diet and choosing good feeling thoughts about yourself, if any) is the power of you as love and a creator of your reality, to tell the story of your dream, your heart. Tell the story of what is going to be, not what is. That will be, what is.

Totally forgot about the slavery angle.

@Kalo The video is for the kids. Remember? (Kind of a trick question)

Wouldn’t be much without ya. ??

?? Even the razor can go.

@Megan Alecia He got it in there pretty deep. The nature of belief, is it is presently, believed.

Quite mysterious.

Indeed.

@Tim R ?? Uni-verse. Not uni-word, uni-thought, uni-concept, etc. Uni-verse. The instant the verse universe itself is said, there seems to be a me and a universe. The cosmic joke. ??

@wavydude Oh for sure. Will likely take several lifetimes.

@Tim R One appears as two. Ego’s just a word a sleeping psychologist coined.

@soos_mite_ah Is there any other way really.

@Truth-Seeker Remarkable share and great read, thank you.

@soos_mite_ah When you express the frustration, irritation and or impatience, usually some pretty pessimistic outlooks are expressed and released as well. You might often feel like you have ample energy but are stuck waiting, and that would be an example of a pessimistic outlook yet expressed. While it may sound too overly simple to be effective, focusing on seeing, hearing feeling and breathing will bring said expression to a rest, and without that mental & emotional activity, in a more emptied, clear and relaxed manor, you can feel at peace with everything just the way it is. In this peace, hopeful thoughts and perspectives arise. This is a key shift, away from directing how you’re feeling at the thoughts or topic of your parents and unwanted circumstances, and towards positive outlooks for the future you are creating. The more you choose this shift of focus, the more you feel the momentum of alignment, and the more enthusiastic & passionate you become about what you want to create and experience. I suggest considering what is chiefly desired is feeling empowered with purpose, passion and joy, and that the easiest and most effective resolution to a lasting shift in that orientation, is to make a dreamboard and fill it with everything that you truly want. If that proves to be challenging...I believe you have experienced plenty of what you don’t want. It is sometimes easier to make that list, and write the opposites on your dreamboard. You will not feel stuck for long, but the dreamboard is only of direct experience. Thoughts about the experience are like thoughts about eating a chocolate ice cream cone dipped in that rare and coveted cherry shell coating, with rainbow (or chocolate) sprinkles ‘baked in’ to the candy shell just as it hardened enough to maintain the integrity of the cone, yet of course remains creamy enough that the cherry candy flavor mixes in perfectly with the chocolate ice cream with each bite, so perfectly in fact that only the lips and tongue were required. The thought of this stuff is not at all the experience of this stuff. With your dream in your heart everyday, you will not feel so ‘forced’ or drained when interacting with others, and therefore will no longer need to recharge. It is really the calling, the natural drive for freedom, and focusing on it and aligning with it will make it effortless to appreciate relationships, especially with your parents. It is easy to see the shortcomings through angst and miss what there is to appreciate, but that flips the other way the more we become truly independent. That angst is desire, it is the dream within you, it is the power to do what you desire to do, and you are ever so slightly spotting the ox as well. It’s natural for this desire to bud and for the power of it to sometimes be misdirected. Every generation experiences this. The previous gen is always the morons who wrecked the place, until you are that previous generation, then it is seen everyone is doing the best they can, we’re all in this together, and nobody knows what this is in the first place. But if you allow those feelings to be about what you desire, and not about your folks... nothing can stop you. Not them, not a pandemic, nothing. Using a dreamboard is effortless focus, and aligning thought with feeling ignites. But not words, and not thoughts. That’s just a mirage, a means to the experience, of the life you get to create, and the thrill and adventure of creating it, which is already underway.

When that is found, label that.
