Awareness is aware of awareness.

@TheUniverseIsLove ...so uh...what uh...kinda stuff you like to read..?

Right on. Sometimes, I imagine a world where one social worker has one kid. Where teachers have less than thirty kids in a classroom. Where every person has two or three life coaches for different areas of life. Some folks worry about AI, but I think the overall focus, on quality of human life, will keep in the trajectory it always has been.

@ShardMare You’re making changes for your well being and happiness...but aren’t experiencing the happiness. This is likely do to how you’re thinking about things, specifically, how you’re understanding the relationship between feeling & thinking. For example, if I said “there’s no such thing as bad feeling”, that might sound obnoxious & crazy. Rather than a whole lot of typing here, when you have a minute, if interested, take a look at this. Not so much the first post of “my life story” but the dream board content. I’d like to know what you think of it, in relation to potentially discovering the energy and feeling you’re looking for. On the diet, give this a try. Cheaper, quicker, and healthier than processed foods.

That’s coming from thinking, not meditation. Which is why you frame up in that way. Not trying to press an issue though, Godspeed on your path.

@Prevailer Meditation, etc.

Prior to theories.

@LfcCharlie4 Awesome. Indeed, any way we ‘slice it’, it’s all love. ?

@Chumbimba Rent a room. Share an apartment with someone. Defer and or minimize you school payment. Whatever you do, take your mind away from these thoughts about others which do not feel good to you. Focus on thoughts that do feel good to you. This ‘situation’ transcends all ‘situation’. Simply a matter of if & when you choose to see this...and feeling great regardless of situations. Much love, not saying it doesn’t come without some delightful purification.

@TheUniverseIsLove Will do, thanks. Sorry bout that.

@ShardMare Have fun. Careful reducing all to a means to an end. Rough trap.

@Prevailer What about the inward ‘ direction’ so to speak, vs the outward focus? Prior to the two computers, which are not actual.

@Ampresus Inspect the root feeling of your thoughts ‘judgment’ and ‘pitying’ people, and you paradoxically find yourself no longer in the position of fear, but love & understanding, which people will sense. Your experience of all of realty will change wonderfully. Feeling’s been telling you “NO!” to these thoughts since the very first one. Inspect it, emotionally allow the karma to process out of the body. Side note, your likelihood of getting laid will go through the roof. People often want to feel like you feel without judgement. It can seem downright “magic” to folks. ?‍♂️ Seeing people as pickpockets & scammers is your own vibrational resonance, but you haven’t realized this yet. When you do, it comes with intuition which see’s such an incident a mile away, if at all.

@Zak Just a different perspective to consider...the value of practice, confidence, self assured ness, patience, mind expansion & understanding, the seeing through of nervousness / anxiety, single pointed concentration, no mind, flow state / disappearing in bliss, a body felt / known as love, freedom from psychological social conditioning, creativity, clarity in thought & communication, ease of expression, the recognition that Truth is everywhere, directly experiencing the vibrational nature of reality, discovering that if one can dream it one can experience it, etc...these were all realized by playing guitar & singing. Also, understanding passive income, automated processes, reinvestment, strategic thinking, flexibility & agility of thought, expanded strategizing, and I’d say the Joy of focus...mostly came from a video game. In hindsight, I’m so glad I didn’t judge these things.

@TDW1995 You thinking God has social anxiety.

@Sick Boy Put your ‘spiritual objectives’ on the dream board too.

@tsuki ?

I’m a bit fascinated and shocked by this. Thoughts anyone? https://thechive.com/2020/02/25/50-of-americans-look-at-their-partners-phone-6-photos/

@EternalForest You’re too set up focused. Balance it out with some punchline. All human knowledge never existed to begin with. Reality only points to how mind-blowingly beautiful you are.

Could not agree more. Look for a belief prior to the beginning of your op.

@Raptorsin7 I wasn’t referencing steps. I mean in the sense, it’s half of a bigger picture, the entirety of the scale. What one does for one’s self is half the picture, what one does for others is half the picture. See them and know them as the same.

Balance that out with the opposite. Feel that great in the selflessness of it. Also keep in mind, you can’t want the flow state, and be in the flow state. It’s letting resistance go, and listening to the thought of future flow is resistant to presence now. And also, we’re all where we’re at with non-duality so to speak, but referring to individuals as separate, and or assigning anything to individuals, reinforces the belief one is themself separate. It’s healthy relative to hatred, but unhelpful relative to nonduality.

Recognize with feeling, one resistant thought at a time. Write it down, and explore each emotion up the scale with regards to the thought. I’d highlight or mark your own comments in the journal where you were feeling best, and do more of those things. I’d take Reiki classes 1 and 2 asap, as well as get a few sessions. I’d read a few books and watch videos by people explaining how they achieved flow state. I’d also email and talk to / ‘interview’ anyone and everyone who is exemplifying the flow state you are wanting. Not just gaming, or sports, but musicians, scientists, artists, etc. Also, every single thing you put on that dream board, and work resistant thought up the scale on, is showing up, already, in your reality. Eyes & ears to notice it, and to see it, are in large part contingent on not holding specific ideas of how it will or should come. It’s often being “delivered” if you will, in the way which is most foreign to you. I’d also write out a calendar of ‘low states’ in terms of feeling, energy & focus, and bring correlations to the surface, relative to the work being done in the journal. I’d also look for flow state of / in all living, regardless of experience. Make the flow state for the game small in comparison to a life in Flow 24/7. Let go of all notions of “God state”. That’s working against the grain. Root out all judgement using the journal and scale, until you literally can’t see it anymore, arising within feeling & thought resonance. I’d also do something unconditionally for someone else at least once a day.

‘Purposeful pain’ is mental anguish / suffering, in the same sense pain is a sensation but no one is hurting. It’s best to feel into both as much as possible, curiously and impartially interested in what they actually are. Chronic pain is ultimately the same, but also relatively significantly different, just as chronic mental suffering is substantially different than occasional incidental mental suffering. “I think this would be a huge motivation for going into spiritual work if this relationship changes with enlightenment!” Might be a trap. If “this relationship changes with enlightenment”, that might be putting the cart before the horse / using ““enlightenment”” to continue avoiding inspecting one or both.

@billiesimon I think he’s suggesting one is asleep, in the unconscious creating of thought & emotion, living through an idea of ‘me’ and a world of maya, while ‘Life’ is the pointer to ‘Self’. I wonder if the guy who asked conceptualized it as of the world, of Sadhguru, or received it as of himself. If he did, I’d guess he now sees a nuance between the dream of thinking & emotion (unconscious), and the dream of reality ‘as it actually is’ (Consciousness). As references to that nuance, ‘mind & fantasy’ are ‘made of’, but are not the same as, Mind & Fantasy, relative to the guy who asked.
