@JayG84 My guess is your friends and family do ‘understand’, or resonate at a more intuitive less cognitive level but are scared to death what would happen if their routines of distraction were interrupted. The real fear is of what could’ve been, what life had been like had you not went. The ‘path less travel’ indeed is all the difference. You are a true hero my friend. Godspeed.

That’s a good description of what I’m doing these days. Experience wise I’ve created multimillion dollar companies, which I manage via delegation, and awakened. Untangling mental blocks is my favorite hobby.

Are there...individuals? If they would “put you in your place”.....are there “they’s” & “you’s”? What’s the distinction behind that they could, but you can’t? There are enlightened individuals (?)...and you are not “one of them”? It’s hard to keep up with all the separate selves sometimes. I think I’m going full reversion; solipsist materialist from here on out.

@Twega I’d suggest it’s a matter of inspection rather than trust. As an example, have you noticed ‘book’ is a thought, not perception?

Same ‘reason’ one would hold closed a door to a tsunami, because you’d drown.

@Aaron p Yfmep.

@Kiko Simple common honesty & inspection can change everything. Is a belief different than what is true? If so, what is the belief... and what is the truth?

@Zak How do I fix a belief?

@Winny “ I “ is a thought. Same for thoughts about an “ I “, like “days”, “awareness”, etc, etc, etc. Let thoughts come & go without reacting.

What definition (connotation) are you working with for ‘enlightened people’?

@Gone Focus on presence. Consciously breathe from your stomach and feel it. Tune into seeing & hearing. Let thoughts of ‘you’ ‘feeling’ go, and feeling is.

The “way out” is actually, “in”. The “way in” is letting the narratives go. When we see the believing of thoughts “is the problem”, and no longer do, the body naturally releases, and it is readily seen there is only ever a problem as created and defined by oneself. The key is the fundamentals, diet, exercise, daily morning & afternoon meditation, expressive writing, etc. Trying to decipher this or that self etc, is one of the narratives. “It’s” not tricky...”I am tricky”. When thoughts are no longer believed, it is revealed there never were “parts”. It is none other than infinite love & perfect peace, which arises as the thoughts, stories, narratives, etc. ‘Presence’. Always present, here & now. Never in a thought story of past or future, or “my selves”, always abundantly readily available now. Only seems to not be the case via believing the arising narrative.

@rav Great to hear. It’s your world. You should be relaxed and creating what you want in it, imo.

That’s what you believe truth feels like? That’s how it feels to be genuine?

@Inliytened1 Much appreciated, but that question was more for our solipsist friend.

It feels not true?

@rav Would it make sense that it feels that way simply because it’s not true?

If you’re alone, creating this, as you said in your op...why not just will the money into existence, like the table? Anything preventing this?

@Javfly33 A contemplation that might be very eye-opening for you… In a relative sense, in terms of money - how much people pay, what is the most valuable thing on earth?

@mandyjw This fun-er-real?

How’s that thought feel?

Good mourning. Good morning. Just a matter of you.

Were it not for the belief you awoke this morning you would be awake.

@rav Why are you anxious after work? Consciously breathing from the stomach. Let everything go. That’s what isn’t clicking with feeling. If meditation & letting go gets hairy, writing about how you feel. Yes, you can. Even the story about the ego.
