  1. @Dua I read your post and I am feeling motivated to do Meditation as I think I can help me. Yes you can indeed! I’d look to meditation as not so much a motivation to get somewhere or fix anything, but more a calling to come back home, prior to all of the experiencing, all the phenomena, all the activity & concerns. A completeletting go, without exception. This would be most helpful, paradoxically, because it is a break from the thinking there is something wrong with you which then ‘needs’ to be helped / fixed. What stands to be let go, is what is prior to the rls. Understand this simply as much as you do without assuming anything is being missed, be open to this, but yet at the same time, do not make meditation out to be something that will “fix” this, but rather, a break from it, relief from it, some peace and healing in regard to it, by letting it go. “Let thought go”, indirectly, as just a byproduct of being attentive to hearing, breathing & feeling, like you never have before. Like, you have heard of chocolate bars before, but now you’re going to explore Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory. There is great wonder to be experienced in hearing, breathing, and feeling. WAY more than there is in thinking. By letting go of the thinking of the world, the world reveals it’s wonder. Leave all the “life stuff” behind in meditation. Viscerally explore the other-than-thinking, of hearing, breathing & feeling. Let go of the body, and let go of the body within the body, again and again. Let go to the bone. Then let the bones go. Like an Olympic runner is set on running fastest, you set on letting go and relaxing deepest. Complete opposite. No incentive, no effort, no goal. See how deeply you can let go, how deeply you can relax. Olympic “level” of letting go. Let go more than any one ever has, ever. Not to gain anything - just to relax. It can be helpful initially, to make two precise labels / categories: ALL experience of living, the entirety of it, is: “Everythingness”....but meditation does not go in that label / category....meditation is: “Nothingness”. Meditation is not like Everythingness. There are no matters of concern in meditation, no thing to be fixed or solved. It’s a break from Everythingness, and everythingness includes everything. Meditation will not “fix” anything. But wouldn’t it be great to have total clarity on the rls? In meditation, that is, in letting go...Everythingness is let go, and Nothingness is more pronounced, more present if you will. This Nothingness, this Emptiness, is clarity. Literally. So if clarity is desired, letting go is the way. I tried meditation before as I know it really helps but my problem is whenever I sit for meditation Restless Leg syndrom kicks in.. and I can't sit still, can't keep my sitting posture for long.. RLS becomes worst as my body gets into the state of relaxation.. It happened 90% of times.. I’d see a doctor and get a physical with a full blood work up, specifically checking iron. Let the dr know all medications and substances in your system, so they can deduce any interactions that might be going on. Then I would consider that the rls arises when you meditate because there is a response from the nervous system to ’get up and go’...as not to feel what might be coming. It could be that there is a belief something is going to be ‘faced’ in meditation. Something from the past perhaps, a ‘having learned to run’, or ‘avoid’, to cope. Perhaps someone passed unexpectedly, and there are ideas of and fear of death maybe, hard to say. What is inevitably seen via letting go / meditation, is that the pure nature of this experience, is not a past, nor is any thing scary coming, including “death:...there is only but thoughts about things, arising, now. The experience of the relationship between feeling and the past changes over time in accordance with the seeing that there is no past, and that “it”, is but a thought, arising now. This is to “let go” and “realize the now”, or, to directly experience presence, mindfulness, or “this peace” as Mooji says. Feeling + past is very very different than feeling + a thought (About a past). Again, it takes a while to realize this, but meditation is not about realizing anything, it’s just letting go of everything. Realization is not like training for the Olympics...realization occurs when thought is let go (by focusing on hearing, breathing & feeling). Listen to the body, - it is the teacher. Like it is the infinite intelligence that it is. Stop “not liking how it feels” - and starting humbly listening to what it is “saying” to you. Wiggle your fingers, and then try to explain how “you did” it, and you’ll see what I’m pointing to. See what the body is doing with regard to rls, and ask “what is it telling me here? What is it subtly teaching me? What can I learn here?” Such inquiry as this, will pair with what you read in your dream journal. Lighten up, drop any seriousness. This place is a game. Reality showers you with what you want, and do not resist. Reality is unconditional, you hold, or don’t hold, conditions. If you resist / hold conditions, reality showers you in clues regarding well being & letting go. I am not insightful, nor enlightened, nor awake, nor anything but parallel, we’re in the exact same boat. I am only one such clue, coming & going in your adventure. You can pretend to control this adventure, you can project subjectivity onto ’me’ - or you can experience this gift for you that is this miracle of your life, humbly in the front row seat of living it. Always up to you. Don’t assess me...feel....this message resonates, or it doesn’t. Love the body, and allow it to release emotion. Of habit, thought attempts again and again to weave a story out of the arising emotional release. This is thought “trying to control the body”, acting preventatively to the body releasing. It is an act of innocent defense. For example, a thought could arise about the past, and feeling begins flushing the body of misunderstanding / emotion...but then the feeling of that flushing gets labeled as “bad” or “uncomfortable” - in / by, thought - and is suppressed. When this occurs - simply return to hearing, breathing, & feeling. Thought will kick it up a notch, attempting to convince you “something’s wrong”.... When this occurs - simply return to hearing, breathing, & feeling. Thought will take it to the extreme. Thought will “empty both barrels”, become grandiose, wild, self important, projection indulgent.... When this occurs - simply return to hearing, breathing, & feeling. There is nothing to solve, nothing to figure out.... When this occurs - simply return to hearing, breathing, & feeling. When thought labels feeling - don’t believe the labels! When this occurs - simply return to hearing, breathing, & feeling. That is how sneaky thought is. Feeling is always accurate and is never, ever, wrong. This is the importance of letting thought go, and what is hopefully conveyed by all or any of the words (above). Please keep in mind, when I say feeling, I am talking about that-there-is-feeling, pure sensation - I am not talking about emotions...when this occurs - simply return to hearing, breathing, & feeling. Peacefully allow this emptying out of the mind and body. Let it all go, and lovingly wish it well. Appreciate it all, it did serve you. In gratitude, allow it all safe passage up, and out. Love this way, that way, inward, outward, love all around. Love all that arises - do not label and judge. Don’t consider wether or not any facet of what arises is deserving of love, nor wether or not you have the capacity to love it - that is sneaky thought. Just love. No reason, no justifying it. Just love. Having said all that... if sitting meditation is ‘too much’, if it’s overwhelming...don’t ‘power through’ it. Break from it, and write about how you’re feeling in a journal, on actual paper, with a pen or pencil. If that is too overwhelming, do walking meditation, and then writing about how you feel. While walking, concentrate visually, straight ahead. Notice thoughts arising, and return attention to seeing, straight ahead. Known that this concentrating ‘outward’, will allow the source ‘within’ to ‘rise up within’, and thus clear out anything emotionally speaking, which is a ‘blockage’ in terms of, concentration. Have a good look around while walking. That is what it looks like when the infinite being you truly are, concentrates itself. Hear the birds. They’re singing to you. Their song is otherwise purposeless, though thoughts arise. Let them go, to feel the song. Also, you can practice walking meditation, and by focusing on all other-than thinking (seeing, hearing, breathing, feeling)....there is peace, and it is likely insights will arise. It can be most helpful and efficient to have your phone with you, and to voice-to-text the insights and save them. This way it is captured for later if you want it, but more importantly, in knowing it is captured, you easily readily ‘return’ to the other-than-thinking (seeing, hearing, breathing, feeling) / the peace. The ‘letting go’ / emptying ...’resumes’. Other times I got sleepy when I started meditation. Meditation is best first thing in the morning, right after ‘sleeping’. You might also try yoga, as it’s more physical and you’re less likely to get tired or sleepy. I’d google “the many types of yoga”, or something like that, and you’ll naturally attract some practices to experience directly. Also, consider keeping a dream journal next to your bed, and writing in it every morning wether there is a dream to log or not. If there was no dream, just write “no dream last night”. This builds the awareness of dreams, and dreams give you messages. The message is usually not clear upon awakening, but later, after the emotion has subsided, what you wrote in the journal can be suddenly very clear and insightful. Don’t assume linear time in this manor either. Something might occur in the ongoing of your day, and the dream suddenly ‘clicks’ as a major insight. Connecting with dreams btw, is connecting through intuition. Lots of awesome experience arises from this. Screen diet for sugar, caffeine, tobacco, alcohol, additives & preservatives, etc, and eating a low calorie nutrient dense diet, and not eating after 7 or 8 pm. I’d google ‘cleaning out the pineal gland’ too. The more choices the mind makes in the name of well being of the body, the better. Choosing well being is awakening. Also, are you sleeping at night, with the circadian cycle? (Vs working nights and sleeping during the day, or staying up late & sleeping in). For what it’s worth, if you aren’t...you would likely get a better night’s sleep if you slept naked, in 69 degrees or less (with a blanket), and avoid using screens at night in bed. Read a book, or write, instead. Exercise, specifically aerobic or cardio, and weight resistance / weight lifting, would likely help a lot. Doesn’t need to be anything major, just enough to change the percentage of fat & muscle a little. This can ‘awaken’ the tiny subtle ‘muscles’ prior to ‘the muscles’. At the very least, deep stretching and breathing into the stretches a few times a day. You might already be doing all or some of this, idk. I am totally hopeless now.. Beliefs like that are let go in meditation. You’re fine. Everything is fine. Don’t suppress desire, express desire. Meditation is the way. It’s wholly counter logical (logic = Everythingness), and presently counterintuitive in your experience (ya could use more Nothingness, which brings intuition and awesomeness to your life & experience). It will become crystal clear that meditation is always the ’answer’, because you define there is a problem, and then you claim you are ‘stuck’. In meditation, all is let go, and clarity arises where a ‘problem’ was believed to be. There are likely substances and or choices of diet at play, which were adopted to cope with the feeling, which was labeled In misunderstanding, and which there wasn’t anything ‘wrong’ with in the first place. Totally not your fault though. We believe what we are taught to believe. BUT then we meditate, and let all that nonsense go. You’re not really stuck. This is classic writer’s block and it is a tricky facade. You’re creating the ‘stuckness’, but aren’t yet aware of how / what you’re doing to create it. In the misunderstanding, a thought, “like a loser” arises. This is a thought which labels feeling, and identifies with that labeling. This is believing a thought and weaving an identity out of thought, so ‘you’ can be right about the feeling being wrong. But feeling is infinitely ‘right’ , pure goodness... and the thoughts & beliefs are not in alignment with feeling. Hopefully you’re connecting the dots here, and realizing meditation is the way. Letting go, is the way. Thought is just, thought. You are not a writer, there is an experience of writing. Writing can never be good or bad, there is an experience of judging, critiquing. You’re ‘pushing feeling out of the writing’...by labeling feeling & identifying with the label, yet feeling is what most behooves writing. Feeling is not a separate ‘thing’ from the experience of, writing. Again, before any writing occurs....wiggle those fingers first, explain precisely how ‘the writer’ is doing that, and you’ll find you can not, because there is no writer. Go ‘the other way’. Don’t “just do it”. Relax, hear, breathe, feel. Feel within the body, like the whole body is a sensory antenna, ‘picking up’ all the feeling, all the writing. The best thing you could do, imo, is drop the whole writing thing. Completely drop it. If you feel inspired to write, then do so. Otherwise, just let it go. Put the outcome of it ahead of your enjoyment of it - and it’s lost. Let it go for a while. This entire experience, this entire universe, is precisely as it appears - completely relative - to you. It’s literally a gift for you. The experience of writing, is not something ‘you have to do’ - it’s experience you get to enjoy. Thinking like “there is a problem with me” IS the “problem”. As such - there really isn’t a problem. You’re believing the thoughts “that there is a problem”. Nothing is wrong with you. “Wrong” is only a judgement, a thought. Judgmental thoughts do not feel good. Let. Them. Go. You wouldn’t hold a burning hot coal in your hand, would you? No. You’d let it go, because it doesn’t feel good. In kind, on the path, we let go of pride, arrogance, being right, being separate, resentments, entitlement, expectations, etc. We forgive. We apologize. We love. We self love. We understand. We feel passion, creativity, empowerment, enthusiasm. If a thought doesn’t feel good to you - you can let it go. (Shift awareness to seeing, hearing, breathing, & feeling). Also, for writing, consider dropping all devices, sitting in nature, and using a pad of paper and pencil. Don’t write for your blog though - write about what you are seeing now, write about what you are hearing now, write about what you are feeling now. ”I feel” is a sneaky thought. You can’t feel. You can’t even feel a feeling. Feeling IS. Like perception, there is no story to it. “Story”, occurs in thought. Not feeling. Not perception. The thoughts “I am weak physically” & “I am weak physically” do not feel good because they aren’t true. You’re telling that story. Don’t be surprised that is what you’re experiencing. Tell the story you actually want to experience, and miraculously, you do. “I need” is a sneaky thought. It’s in plain view though - if you listen to feeling. Anything that follows “I need” will not feel good. Let the thought go. (Focus on seeing, hearing, breathing, & feeling). Notice a thought arose, and it was in discord with feeling. Then, to “cover it up”....you start believing you must ‘need’ something. Emotional suppression doesn’t settle. Let it out. Temperature’s just right. Appreciate it. Consider the odds of there being temperature which “just happens” to be perfect to allow for this entire experience. There are no coincidences. It’s not random. Let thoughts of that nature go, and synchronicity & serendipity are revealed. This place is pure magic, and you can do anything you dream up - and you’re current sentiment is “hot weather bothers me”. Let go. Let go. Let go. I say this with love, and good intention, and I hope it is heard that way...you are holding many conditions for you to be happy. Happiness is revealed in letting those conditions go. Go experience that which you ‘fear’, and you will see the facade of fear. “Fear” is a label upon the experience of believing a thought about a potential future, which is in discord with feeling. Feeling will never be in “a future”. Feeling is present now. Feeling can be ‘listened to’, now. The mind wanders, false thoughts arise, feeling says “no sir, that’s not actual”....and you label feeling. This is very much like putting an address into the navigation app in your phone to get to where you want to go....and then when the voice says “in half a mile, turn left”....and you’re like “no!”. Relaxed, emptied, clarity arises. There will be no more thought being believed about yourself being “a loser”, ”I can’t”, etc. I’d read The Six Pillars Of Self Esteem, and Ask & It Is Given. I’d also start a dreamboard.
  2. What Leo said is where I was headed. Sit and all urges come and go... And the true nature of desire is known, and that there is not fear is known.
  3. @LfcCharlie4 With @Raptorsin7. Thanks, and again, spot on. ‘Channeling’ was / is precursor experientially speaking, and it took about 3 days to think straight again. ? Second time, maybe 1 & 1/2. Once a week would probably be better for a while. Appreciate the kind words, but I’m just havin the most fun I can, like you. Rock that dreamboard mate ✊?
  4. @28 cm unbuffed I mean, the inquiry of your luck, is different than the inquiry of your luck in comparison to others luck. Imo, you had it right on in your op.
  5. Are we talkin subjective or objective here?
  6. For those who have come to know that they are God, what did this change for you? Understanding. How many times did you have the realization before it stuck with you? Once, which is the only possible answer, and not even that. Did you tell people you know? There’s no God, nor people to tell. How did your relationships change? They didn’t. What did you do first, as God? Nothing.
  7. @assx95 (I don’t mean this facetiously, but contemplatively)...Why don’t you go ahead and do those things? What comes to mind in that regard?
  8. @LfcCharlie4 Much appreciated man, and again, thank you, for all the kind words and also just for talking about the transmissions, for ‘getting it out there’. I’m reeling like an atheist who glimpses Truth the first time with those. The spiritual ego and bliss of it is too much currently. It’s much like a trip, integration, and backlash in a very short duration, like five minutes. Seems to be a full circle of conditioning, in that the body gives out from the love. More likely, some conditions held will be purified out. Both surely lol. I don’t imagine Ramaji is reduced to a pile of tears & joy and needs recovery time with transmissions...but I’d guess he was when it first started. ‘Who knows’. It’ll likely be on the website soon enough, along with the other stuff you mentioned. We shall ‘see’. ??‍♂️ 5 years sounds generous. Also - the q n a, or even just some dialogue, and the transmission after, super clear now how 1 + 1 = 100 in that regard. Thanks for helping me see the light there. ??
  9. @LfcCharlie4 Your self recognition is on point sir. ??♥️
  10. @zeroISinfinity Go Jed-I on that shit.
  11. Abundance Reality is unconditional. There is no line, no separation, no disconnection, between your wanting and your experience of it coming. Notice this in your own life experience. Never has reality imposed or even expressed a condition upon you. You are the maker, the creator, of conditions. No matter how it may seem, there is no exception to this. Inspect those ‘exceptions’, see what no one else has seen. Undertake the adventure & the metadventure, and you will enjoy the fullest life possible. You are creating conditions, and what you are wanting is always coming. Superposition is superposition, experience is via limitation. What you are wanting is coming, from a stateless state of being every possible thing. You, are this stateless state, which is becoming what is referred to as, experience. The inner work, inspecting and scrutinizing your psychology & conditions is fundamental. Thinking rooted in measurement & comparison of the ‘millionaires of the world’ is abstraction mistaken as actuality. It’s useful of course, but don’t identify with it. You don’t know the subjective experience of another, because they are you dreaming it. Thought, in conjunction with perception, is used to trick ourselves into objectivity, which does not, and can not exist in experience. When it seems it does, you’ve discovered attachment to thoughts. Let thought go in such a case, detach. Notice how it feels. (Good). Your experience is only subjective. You can override your own intrinsic source of all desire, passion & inspiration, with self referential thinking and becoming the hard worker, who powers through, but this is a distant second to the true power, which is joy. The simple joy of presence, of enjoying this moment, whatever it is. This is not a physical world a you is in, it is a co-creative dream appearing within you. Weed out self referential thinking & beliefs, seeing through your conditions, self discovering, as it is the greatest experience possible. It’s why you dreamt in the first place. Simply being the infinity you are, you already “have it all”. Life is just for the passing experience of it, for love, togetherness, fun, thrills. Being is viscerally known in thriving, in giving your best, in giving yourself away. You’ll inevitably see that money, and every way you look at it, you are literally, entirely, making up. The maker of condition, is the maker of meaning. Thoughts arise to the contrary of this...inspect them, understand directly, why they don’t resonate. You can ‘have it all’, joy, fun, millions, relationships, passion, desire, travel, love, etc. Everything you experientially want to have and to feel. Accept advise, information, testimonies, learn from it, etc, but never ever ‘listen’ to anyone one iota above the source within you. That is the source of your dream, of reality, of the entirety of this universe. Listen to source. It is the infinite creator you truly are, and it loves you unconditionally. Money is not your power, alignment is your true power. It is prior to all psychology, which is the only place human power “exists”. No one has it, there is only the facade, and giving it away, by believing anyone but you could ever have it. It’s a cosmic sized joke.

  13. While you were looking, life was handing you every answer. Listening to feeling is the key. Here’s some basic info on our mechanisms of ignoring feeling. It’s helpful to understand these, and begin to see how employing them leads into labeling feeling as if it were the problem (anxiety, depression, etc). You might think of it as inspection work to be done... https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/fulfillment-any-age/201110/the-essential-guide-defense-mechanisms It’s because you’re claiming the concentration. “It” isn’t “yours”. You, in the sense, this experience, this universe, are a concentration of the ‘true self’, consciousness, if you will. “Your” job, is “Getting out of your own way”, letting all the blockages out. That link above will take time to understand and see in your living, and in becoming attentive and aware of the behaviors and actions you have been inattentive to and unaware of (though you’ve felt the pain of it, as well as the effects - the loss of relationships, etc) you will find concentration, dramatically increases. You can also do simple easy practices like walking meditation, returning attention over & over on seeing, hearing, breathing & feeling. Concentration in this way is ‘outward’ oriented, bringing Being ‘up within you’, clearing out blockages (misunderstandings which keep thought & feeling in discord). I would suggest the other ‘direction’ all together...inspecting, releasing, understanding, healing, transcending. Faith is wonderful, yet can be used as a ‘filler of gaps’, where inspection is fruitful. Consider YouTubing Byron Katie, and checking out her website & worksheets. Simple, yet profoundly powerful stuff. Yes. Basically the opposite of faith, depending on what context one applies. Context can not betray, as it is not a person or entity, in this way. Refer to that link of mechanisms we employ. You wisely spent 6 years gathering all of the knowing and content of what you don’t want. You now know everything (for now) that you do want. Make a dreamboard, and you will see. It really is miraculous to experience. If I can help at all, let me know, pm me anytime you like. Sadness in this case, is inner being, unconditional love, letting you know how judgement works in terms of thought & feeling.
  14. “She” even knows when to ‘bow out’ on there being no past, future, or Tony.
  15. @electroBeam I believe (all speculation here) that upon inspection of the reoccurring thoughts which are in discord with feeling, what would be found is that there isn’t any “unique atypical high tolerance” situation. I think you’d find that you are using the substances to suppress the discord between thoughts & feeling, and it is leaving you feeling uneasy, frustrated, unhealthy, and ultimately revealing a desire to align the peace, love, & creator that you are, with the working, surviving, creating & accomplishing you do. I feel a not so subtle “cry for help” in your thread. To me, it reads as “I’ve realized this is a fucking dream - and that’s awesome - but wtf - why isn’t life ‘lining up’?” How to “line it up”? That boils down to aligning thought with feeling, as feeling is the guidance and therefore must be abided by, must be listened to. You have passion, creativity, desire & are very open minded. What I believe is desired, is vision, to answer the question, “how do I align the infinite dreamer I know I am, with this dream, this life?”. When in life is the resolution not “that thing” we’re so sick of hearing? Yep, I know it well too....and here it comes.... Make a dreamboard. Before doing this, thoughts are coming and going, as if if behind our head. We’re aware of them, but it’s kind of hard to ‘see the bigger picture’ when it’s not in front of our eyes. Dreamboarding get’s every thought, of everything you want, in front of you. You know all to well that thinking about doing something, is not the experience of doing something. You’d have to do this, to experience what I’m suggesting. You also know, wether you care to admit it or not, that not a one of us really ever “grows up”. We convince ourselves of this, via responsibility, pressure, deadlines, etc. We all to often succumb to it, at the expense of the relationship with our inner being, our inner guidance - that which you desire so strongly to never feel discord or disconnection with. We’re all in truth God’s children. Nonduality, yep...and yet, he who assumes the upper hand over inner being, does so at his own inevitable peril. Chronic discord of thought & feeling leads to a pretend seriousness, grandiose nonsense, resentment, bitterness, stress, tension, etc. This leads to dis-ease, turbulent relationships, etc. Everything, in terms of feeling, we don’t want. The kick in the balls, is feeling - guidance - told us this since day one. But one can get so lost in the woods, so deep in the pressures of surviving, that a rather simple thing seems blown out complicated and practically unfixable. One accustomed to pressure & efforting their way busting through brick walls, at first struggles to appreciate the effortlessness of a simple dry erase board, vision, and the unconditional love and magic of reality. I suggest you ‘take back your life’, and your happiness - that is, the relationship between you, and You, if you will. While the materialist paradigm and the believing of such thoughts can suggest to the contrary, this place is a dream. Put anyone, or anything, ahead of your relationship with the higher self within, and nothing makes sense anymore. Nothing clicks. The spring in your step & the joy in your heart just ain’t there - and that was what “worked”, what makes it all cohesively function like butter. Talking about your light here, your joy, your livelihood. I’m not suggesting you make any sudden changes, or that there’s actually anything you need to do. I’m suggesting that the dreamboard will reveal to you a series of “ah ha’s”, which reveal to you that your whole life, every experience, has lead up to a perfect culmination of the realization, and the illumination of the path of actualizing it, with natural passion & conviction - with a newly discovered knowing - of what you actually want to do, and what it looks like going forward. This would flush out some emotional misunderstanding in identity, resulting in profound understanding arising within you, making practices like meditation peaceful and fruitful, without any desire for substances. It doesn’t occur in a moment, but overtime. Again, if I’m off, or outta my place here, apologies. I just think you’re a cool, smart loving dude, and I love ya. There’s an “above my pay grade” reason I call it a dreamboard. I didn’t “think” of that my “self”.
  16. @electroBeam Loving that answer. I see what you’re saying ...infinite being, unconditional love “at one end”.....survival, business, choices, responsibilities “at the other end”. The change you mentioned of meditation (the middle way) every day is most ideal. Hopefully this practice is first thing in the morning before anything else, before the activity of the mind even begins. That way, resistant thoughts are easily recognized. Where are you at (just to communicate) with the question - why are some thoughts resistant? (As in, don’t resonate with feeling)
  17. One day I’s like, oh....I’m not trustworthy! Ok, cool. Then of course, I just was. Good to “know” about “trust”.
  18. @electroBeam Why do anything, even the first thing, about the thoughts, focus, attention, concentration, etc? What’s the ‘end game’? Why do you honestly do this? (Bold approach. Feel free to ignore.)
  19. @RestWithinTheHeart A truck, gas, and keys are ultimately the same thing, but to get anywhere, it’s helpful to understand how they work together. Beyond that, just listen to the navigation app / gps. That is a beautiful visual affirmation board, I love it & I wouldn’t change a thing. It’s a powerful expression and practice of self love & discovery. A dreamboard is for anything and everything you want to experience in this lifetime. Traveling, relationships, sex, cars, planes, boats, careers, businesses, furniture, learning how cook, etc. Literally anything. Whatever you want. Use a dry erase board, ideally double sided, large & on wheels. Write everything you want on it. Be specific, and write in positive terms. Having established & expressed what you want on the board, you become more aware of it. It continues to unfold, so lots of things will come up, that you’ve never thought of or realized you want. On the board, you can now visually see it. It comes into focus from a higher vantage, more ‘bird’s eye view’, smaller pieces are readily seen together and new realizations arise. What you write does come to you, in the most ordinary ways, which is beyond mysterious. Now when thoughts arise, they are relative, to what you want. What feels good to you, is what you want. What you want, is what feels good to you. People are known to call this “fun”, “unexplainable”, and often “exciting”, making life ”richer” and more “worthwhile”. Many even credit discovering actual “passion” in this way. The relationship between thought & feeling becomes much clearer. Thoughts are in alignment or discord with feeling, precisely as they are with what you want (which came from feeling / wanting). Thoughts in discord with feeling...let them go and choose a better feeling, true to you, thought. Inspect the arising thoughts which do not feel good to you, to uncover your belief behind it. The misunderstanding becomes understood. Enjoy everything you want, coming. Don’t worry or think too much about how it’s going to come, just let resistant thoughts go and uncover conditional limiting beliefs. You’ll soon realize feeling is navigation, guidance, and was the whole time. I’d also really consider doing Leo’s life purpose course, if you haven’t started it yet.
  20. The confusion is between subjectivity & objectivity, which proper utilization of a dreamboard eradicates. In understanding the relationship between thought & feeling, there is no more back & fourth of thought, and no more emotional rollercoaster. There’s no ‘point’ which comes. The only time to inspect prior to the write offs, is always now. It’s a choice, often innocently indicative of misunderstanding & beliefs, which you create, from misinterpretation. In terms of life experience, all is always together, a perfect synchronistic magic. Clues abound. Wether or not the ‘lessons’ lending understanding are appreciated & inspected, to extract the juice of transcendence, is also a choice. Dreamboarding inevitably uncovers more that you want to do, as well the inspiration, passion, & focus to do it, than you could do in ten lifetimes. You would quite literally forget what boredom is. Reality is unconditional. Any conditions are only yours, in thought. (And such a clue is that they don’t feel good, to you)
