@PlayOnWords Congrats! ? Have you experienced any body oriented healing modalities yet? Short of that, watch the trap of thinking there is resolution created by thinking. It’s a slippery slope that leads back to healing the body every time, wether by modalities or purification, as they are the same.

@Son of leo Any reasoning as to why you can not live the self actualized life and experience everything you want to in your life, is up to you. Attachment as suffering to be addressed, is not to things, as there are no “things”, the attachment is to the thoughts. Start simple, with a cup. Notice the perception is only the perception, and the word “cup” is a thought. A thought is not what that is, as a thought is a thought, and perception is perception. Seems like your dad would have covered this rudimentary stuff...?

It’s so tricky, but the point is to let that thought go. If you can appreciate how sneaky a single thought believed can be....the point of the practice is to let go of stories “about you”. Rather than believe that the thought is about you, meditate and notice you’re aware of the thought. A thought can never be about you, and be true.

@Ingit If you stopped telling the story of a you and an ego...would there be any problem? Wouldn’t there just be one thought right now, and how you feel? Is there really a second party involved? The thought “ I am disappointed with me “ is said as if you are assigning thought or feeling to some second you, which is the suffering. The judge and the one being judged, are “both” you. Maybe feeling is simply saying, this doesn’t make any sense.

@TheAvatarState For sure. I could see something like ‘perception therapy’, changing thought patterns. Seems a matter of how fast it unfolds. Also, on Minecraft...creative vs survival...lot communicated there too...as well as that they are the same ‘game’.

@Derek White That is an amazing example, thanks!

@TheAvatarState I’m with you on this 100%. It is mind blowing.

@lbranjord I’d watch this https://www.actualized.org/articles/all-criticism-is-untenable And also do some practices for the body and release of emotions.

Saw a lady’s YouTube channel today who is apparently launching the ultra-neo-Advaita movement.

@Red-White-Light I heard he got the message during trip #142.

@Raptorsin7 If the question is if it’s a good time to release, surrender, let go, answer’s always yes.

@electroBeam Karma is a one player game.

@Derek White There are guidelines for moderators too. Name calling is 2 points. Rest assured, karma is perpetual.

@dimitri ♥️??

@Raptorsin7 I hear ya. Funny paradox...I know judgement doesn’t feel good to anyone, because I know I’m the only one here. Not sure if it’s nonsensically hilarious, or hilariously nonsensical. I don’t have that nuance yet I guess. It’s delightful though, and it ‘took a while’. There was a decade before I saw that name calling upon someone, at my end, labeled that someone, as someone. As someone... separate. Then it took another decade to realize that by default, in my ‘separating’ of someone...I ‘separated’ myself, which is funny in hindsight, because it was so contrary to what I wanted.

@Raptorsin7 This is where I would interject a similar name calling in your direction to drive home the point, but I don’t want to, because of how it feels. The nuance of feeling realized is such that when a man confessed for the first time to someone, to me, that he literally murdered someone many years ago, and how it ruined his life and many others, how he lost his own family because of it...when all that pain, when all those tears poured out...the intensity of shame, and of guilt, the flatout manic psychosis which his life had become...when I experienced that with him.....I felt a joy within me so tremendous, such a pure bliss, a limitless pure unconditional love greater than any psychedelic trip I’ve experienced, greater than any retreat I’ve ventured on...I had no judgement within me whatsoever, only the experience of infinite compassion & love for him, for me. Pure absolute innocence of Being. Well, if I judge you now, that all stops. I don’t want it to stop. I like it. It’s “a Tuesday”, these days, and I’m interested in where it’s headed.

@Raptorsin7 Rather than judge what was said...speak from your truth. We don’t really hear what anyone says anyways, only how it made us feel.

@fridjonk I hear you there. It’s kinda crazy, but funny. Crazy-funny I guess. Any modalities that have “clicked” with you? @Raptorsin7 The deliciousness of synchronicity indeed. Love it! I know reiki & psychedelics resonated with you, any others so far? Any insight you’d give to ‘one of those critics’, those who have yet to experience directly, the healings?

@Nadosa Because the brain does not produce intelligence, intuition, feeling, nor love. Another way to point... if you are asking, you can be practicing. A day comes when there is no question, and no practice. Yes, ‘that day’ is now. Is it conceptual, or otherwise, might be a good consideration.

You already see how a duality is being created in thought to ‘sneak around’ practices. Yes, definitely both. And 1 on 1 guidance, and as many healing modalities as you are open minded enough to try.

Self-love, “dead” or “alive”. “It's all the same, only the names will change - (Yet) every day, it seems we're wasting away”

@lostmedstudent If you inspect that frustration, you’ll find an underlying belief about yourself, one that does not feel good because it is not true about you. One that did not feel good the first time you believed it, and still does not. Having worked through that belief and seeing the falsity of it, there will be less monkey mind and inherently then, natural focus. You’ll find the reason you can orgasm alone easier than with someone else, is due to monkey mind / overthinking of what people think of you, which is to say, your own self judgment is stuck on ‘repeat’. Need to be more, ‘shuffle’. This will change that ‘got bored of each new thing’ issue. You can change the things, and it can work for a time. But when you change, well, that’s orgasmic. For any arguments which ensue, simply stay at the realization, that you both want the same thing.

Acceptance and understanding are you. Just as a thought can be experienced as you, or as the content of the thought. Actuality, and experientially. You, Love, never moved, never ‘went’ anywhere. So you, love, are ever-present. This is why some thoughts feel good (aligned with you, love)...and some thoughts do not feel good (in discord with you, love). Dream board, thought & feeling aligned...’creating the life you actually want’. Because you created this and am this already, the inward path, is actually (from this relative experiential vantage point)...backwards. Takes a minute to ‘wrap your head around’, but when you do, things start making a whole lot of really, really great...sense. ‘Take it to’ subtle town. Notice the feeling difference between, for example....the one who accepts, the one who understands...to the very plain & ordinary obviousness that....acceptance is within you, understanding is within you. Let this be in the plain sight as it already is. You are aware of these, within you. This is already the vantage point, already the case. Nothing is ‘wrong with’ ‘this equation’. That thought does not feel good. Inspecting that thought/feeling alignment...is picking up the breadcrumb on the path back home. Due to the ‘backwards’ fact of ‘the path’....there is seemingly many, many “traps” such as “I am the understander”. Creation...outward movement. The Path...inward movement. How can you believe it? You’d be creating the belief.

@Endangered-EGO Very nice!

@tsuki Awesome, great to hear! No, but the first few times you use it, it’s really helpful to have written the thought down. When you come across an emotion that releases, it’s easy to return to the scale, and work that thought to the top. Heck ya. Sounds like self honesty to me. Careful not to be critical...but we can also clean our thoughts up a bit more...I’d think of it as how I feel right now, rather than “I’m lower on”. It’s about working one thought up the scale. Overtime this changes, aligns...thought & feeling. “It seems like all of these emotions on the scale are actually love, but this love is covered up with thought stories/delusion to create all the other feelings all the way down to fear. Is this description accurate?” Yes.....I would explain it as Love is the absolute basis of all that is...and so love is the absolute basis of feeling (the wifi which is Everywhere, or ‘that there is sensation’....from there....sensation (Love) + thought = emotion. We just slow down and have a look at things, and see that we create emotion right under our noses. But now, we do it on purpose. We become conscious of what we were ‘going unconscious’ of before....and we can do it on purpose, with the life we want to life in mind, one thought at a time, and the quality of relationships we want to have in mind, one thought at a time. Yes. Notice, this is already the case. It’s less about “doing this new thing”, and much more noticing how this reality has been ‘working’ all along. Feeling let’s us know, as creators, how each thought resonates or doesn’t with our source, love. Aligned - we can ‘stand up next to a mountain, and chop it down, with the edge of our hands’. Jimi knew this well...and was, ‘bold as love’. YES. Such is the reference....would you rather be right, or feel great? A flexible, liquid mind. Thoughts come, thoughts go, no problem...because I understand, I’m conscious of how the thought feels, and I can use that scale anytime. In short, it’s cause I’m as handsome as those bean muffins. I think you’re right on...anytime you question anything from the basis of....”how am I attracting this?” ”Explaining things”....no problem when the thought and feeling aligns. Thought becomes DELIGHTFUL. Creating! It’s always been that way. The scale is for working one thought. If you have a ‘not good feeling thought’ about someone else, work the thought up the scale. (Not the person). Great to hear all the ‘clicking’ into place.
