@Rilles An absence of understanding. “When you believe in things, that you don’t understand - you suffer. Superstition ain’t the way.” -Stevie Wonder

I’m all for that. ♥️ @TheGreekSeeker Up to you.

@LfcCharlie4 Ok, but you wouldn’t have to do any of that stuff if you heard what I’m saying. You’d make so much money it’d be sick. IN your knowing how impressionable people are, and that we’re each creating our own reality, and that there are beliefs out there, in God, you could literally just say you like, got a super power from God. Everyone you’re talking to wouldn’t know, because as you know they’re holding beliefs about who they are. The real beauty of it would be that the falsity would be unfalsifiable. You could literally tell people exactly what you’re really doing, and they would still believe you.

@LfcCharlie4 No I’m saying this respectfully in your favor. It’s obvious you ‘know the truth’, know who you really are so to speak. So you can see most people don’t. Since you know there’s no actual measuring etc...you could just write a book with like, a ‘measuring system’. Then you could basically just invent a word for what you have that moves someone up that system, and sell it. Imo, it’s genius. All those people “selling” their time wouldn’t stand a chance.

@LfcCharlie4 I agree totally, but at the same time, the love is yours. You own it. Nobody else does. Since it’s yours, you can sell it if you want to. Just name it after yourself, and use some words that nobody knows. You’ll make a killing man.

“What distinguishes science or religious, etc. "beliefs" from everything here?” ...you. Obvious, or no?

@Ibn Sina Might find a different perspective here. Gotta really listen between the lines though, to feel that silence / sound.

@VeganAwake LMAO yes, it was humorous with your comment, because of the loop. Same thing though, yep.

@VeganAwake ? I can’t stop laughing because of the “loop”.

@VeganAwake The materialist paradigm.

That’d make a sweet t shirt.

@TDW1995 “My mind” is a thought.

@TDW1995 Nice. I think it’s that in reality part that might be questionable. What if “reality” is in you? What if ‘my computer’ was a calculation on a tablet, which is made of wifi?

No. Action’s a belief. (So’s death & the idea of you)

@dimitri ?? Thanks! Coming soon.

@dimitri It’s called “Ask & It Is Given”.

In the sense, meaning arises in you. Whatever “absolute perspective”, “the human perspective”, “universe”, “reality”, “ego”, “personal you”, “right”....mean to you, is only what it means to you. Nonduality would imply there is not a you and a meaning. There is learning what a word means, like cup, and there is ‘learning’ it was never “a cup”, as “cup” was a word you learned.

@VictorB02 Great insight. ♥️

Much in the same way fear of rejection is behind social anxiety, though it is often experienced dualistically as a fear of being alone...some people mentally assign the feeling of fear to the truth of conspiracies. In any case, nothing has ever been bettered by rejecting it and hiding it away. The apparent ability to relate to people who are at a stage prior to yours, is the fear of ending up back there. Consciousness doesn’t work backwards in that way. The next stage is letting that idea go, and finding you truly have the vantage indeed. Kind of a ‘if you love it, set it free, if it returns, it is yours’ thing. It’s a paper thin line between remembering or maintaining an idea, and realizing your consciousness has expanded. Ultimately, infinitely, and yet, not at all. There is a feeling of urgency, of impatience, in wanting to ‘tell people’ what you think, but not doing so. This is great. You’re noticing the thought doesn’t feel good to you, and recognizing it wouldn’t feel good to anyone else then either. That patience is present, as you are aware of this. Meditation & writing about feelings can release more beliefs, eradicating the impatience, and expanding intelligence & emotional intelligence. It could be said the result is compassion, and no longer experiencing the ‘I don’t know what to say’. The emotional scale is key for this. On the anxiety note, it could be nutrition and or body brain chemistry induced, but I would also consider the notion that it is not “my” anxiety, like you might think of “my” car, but rather, you are creating it over & over and can inspect how you are doing so, and inherently, effortlessly, no longer do so, no longer create that experience. Ultimately, if you are ‘on the path’, it is away from separative perspectives, and a return home via inclusion & unity (rooting falsity out of the mind / uncovering the “separate self”). As such, this is inclusive of all the facets you shared, including the anxiety, which is that which you are seeking, and unfortunately for now, that which you are labeling and missing.

It’s funnier when the comedian keeps a straight face.

Judgement & isolation are harsh teachers.

@crab12 You’re conflating. The absolute “perspective” can’t be deduced from the relative perspective. It’s important to note the mixing for the sake of clarity...noting the flip of the reference to “you” in the questions. It flips from “you all that is” to “you are a person” in your perspective, rather than “in the world”. The ego isn’t something ‘found in brains’, it’s the universe. It is like a riddle answered by there being no riddle.

One of the most messaged questions is which dry erase board should I get. I think it’s mentioned in this thread, but it seems worth mentioning again. Imo, the ideal would be an approximately 3’x4’ doubled sided board on wheels. They’re a bit pricey, but the second side is ideal for inspection work. In terms of what I’ve found to be most ideal, I would also paint a wall or two with chalk paint. Also, in response to another frequently asked question...The marker is reality, the dream board is reality. It is blank. Then is it full. What was not there, now is. As such, you create reality ‘right under your own nose’. If you have any trouble with “understanding how” you’re doing this, consider finding the exact examples of how you are not, and inspecting them on the back of the board. Consider an approach in terms of zooming in, and zooming out. From all you ‘wanteds’ on your board, clarity and visionary arises, one small thing on the board, can be ‘zoomed into’ on the chalk paint wall. A personal example...an idea for a next book arose from the coming together of things on my dream board, and a chalk paint wall is divided into columns for chapters. I never ‘sit and write’. It just comes as it comes, and I add it where it goes, on the wall. A reminder from another common question...use a pad of paper for writing about feeling to develop emotional intelligence via direct experience. Use another pad of paper to write everything you do not want. Then derive from that what you do want, and write that on your dream board. When resistance is experienced (one thought, and it’s resonance with feeling/source) use the back of the board to inspect the thought. It would, imo, be extremely expediting & helpful, to print and tape the emotional scale to the inspection side of the board. Write down the resistant thought, establish (name) the emotion, and feel for the next higher emotion on the scale. Allow thought to change freely in accordance with the feeling. Notice how thought & perspective change, in accordance with feeling. Notice how you have been and are now, creating emotion, of sensation & thought / perspective. Then begin doing consciously, on purpose. (Warning, purification & Amazing feelings ensue). If you want to really cut through it all...print & tape the yin yang symbol to the inspection side of your board. Label your current perspective as the yin tear drop shape, and write I’d down. Then write down the opposite perspective, and label that as the yang tear drop shape. Then look at the dot of yang in the yin tear drop shape, as ‘that there is always a little yang in every yin”, and write that perspective down. Then look at the dot of yin in the yang tear drop shape as ‘that there is always a little yin in every yang’, and write that perspective down. Two great realizations inevitably arise in this practice. In having written down these four perspectives, you have transcended any identification with your initial first perspective, and have expanded your mind applicable to all things for having down so. Second, you will now be ‘seeing’ from the perspective of the circle which the yin & yang and dots, appear to transpire within. When you hit ‘resistance blocks’ along the way, write about feeling, and go experience healing modalities, ask them many questions, & love your body.

“But I think I'm still tryin' to figure this crap out - thought I had it mapped out, but I guess I didn't. This fucking black cloud still follows me around, but it's time to exorcise these demons...these motherfuckers are doing jumping-jacks now”. ? ?

@Maxman Dream board. Your answer will arise from all your unique wants, derived of all your experiences of what you do not want. At the stage you’re at, you must see this and flip that script. Don’t attempt to do this in your head, or on paper. Thinking like this: This is indicative of the ‘learning what you don’t want phase’, and you’re trying to use these faculties of mind in the what you do want phase. It won’t work. You can not experience the answer in the same mindset in which the question arose. All of creation reflects this truth, inseparable from your own life and choices. A hypothetical example of what can arise...a reiki practitioner takes two classes, and experiences a few session. They heal themselves, which is a fantastic ‘aside’. Like anything, practice & experience are key. However, this amount of time relative to income sources / other avenues, is shorter by years. Where I work, one of the new practitioners works two hours (two appointments) a day, five days a week, charging sixty dollars per hour. She went from the idea, to making money, in one month - because she understood that don’t want, vs want thingy. That’s $600 / week, $31,200 / annual. There is also a massage therapist ($80 / hr), a life coach ($80 / hr), and yoga instructors who are at about the same place in terms of money / time, with income potentially fluctuating more due to charging less per person for the class. The healing of these modalities is relative to each individual. One option is all of them. In that healing, the mind opens up, more than what could be imagined prior to the experience. That, combined with the vantage point of the unfolding, via the experiencing of the dream board...inspire inherently. Such a person could open their own facility, charge self employed practitioners rent by room, and make six figures....healed...and assisting others interested in the same. Keep in mind, this is just a hypothetical example. The intention is to collapse some dualities between income, healing, passion, and calling. “I don't want to get so caught up in survival when freelancing that I don't get money and even time to work on my life purpose.” Then choose a better feeling, inclusive, thought. That is a duality, as in, it is ‘yours’ and yours alone. You will not find these things in any sense you can point to them. Seems like it, but though thoughts are ‘things’, a thing is not your thought of it. Also, the people mentioned here, write their own schedules, take weekends, holidays, & vacations as they choose, and do not have a boss.
