Should Enlightened Teachers focus on teaching individuals rather than mass teaching? You are looking to be teaching?

What is the difference, between pain, and suffering? “my pain, confusion, guilt, shame and anger are not resolved” My eight year old keeps touching the hot stove & doesn’t like how it burns her. She just keeps recreating the same experience over and over. I’ve instructed the stove correctly numerous times, to no avail. What should I tell the stove to do next? What advice should I give my daughter? She says she really, really wants a certain “lightness of being”. “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” - M. Williams

To remind you that you don’t. You put them here.

There. Is. No. Assertion.

There is no objective reality. Fun to sort things out & converse. Never actually happening though.

@Rasheed Acuity of sensation is really the name of the game with food. It’s triggering, but, shit’s coming out either way. Might as well awaken. When we try to logically resolve food & diet, in the ’ultimately’ sense, we keep arriving back at feelings, over & over. It’s making sense (sensation) the whole time. The absolute source of sensation & thought, which allows for the relative feeling - (emotion) the feeling of each thought - remains the same, wether it’s eating, or a topic.

@Fede83 Funniest question ever. ?

@electroBeam Ha! Nice. The cosmological principle, spagettified into a dumbhole. You are truly the center of the universe.

@Fede83 If you don’t enjoy them, find some which you do, or rather do what you enjoy.

@electroBeam It’s a pointer to cosmic consciousness, which nondual realization is prior to. There needs to be a natural path unfolding. Without a full circle on thoughts as self, an explanation could all too well trigger too much pressure on thinking. Thought creates but is not necessary to create, if you can resolve that apparat this paradox you got it. I’d suggest putting yourself, a dream board, and what you actually want in life, into the equation. Makes the expediting of the path all the easier. And just, more fun, really.

Take Reiki classes.

@Fede83 All you. ??

The two are the same. Enlightenment can never be actual, if it’s being held as a thought about the future, nor is it an experience. It’s the actuality right now...already...and added to it is the thought story about needing results to feel better, it being easier said than done, etc. Writing out your perspectives, along with the opposite perspectives, really reveals, in feelings, the shift I’m pointing to here. Transcending a perspective can be done in minutes, clearing the mind, allowing purification the way. Letting those narratives go will trigger release of identity & misunderstood emotion. As a broad stroke, you’re neck deep in how, and measuring yourself by comparison to others and or an idea of yourself. A few hero’s doses of Why on your dreamboard can open up perspective greatly. This place is for you man. Nobody goes to Disneyland to compare & measure their outcomes and results of fun-ness.

This is a funny application of teamwork making the dream work. “We got you, you can totally do this!”

@Elham How long have you been sort of ‘fixed’, on this one mental image? And is this image something which can play out with your partner, or something distinct from your partner. Such as your partner is a man, and the mental image is a woman, etc. What is preventing you from having the fantasy, and also exploring the other methods?

@peanutspathtotruth ☺️ “Congrats!”

@Elham I’d consider what is the comfort factor which exists in the fantasy, but is believed not to be available in ‘real life’. Unless it’s an alien or something, without the resistance to it, you’ll experience it. Maybe even if it was an alien. The limitation of your wanting & belief you can have it, is yours, not a partners. Have you communicated what you are wanting to your / a partner?

Founded on the indoctrination of need.

You are not that self in the thought story. You are already liberated of this, imposing the limit in believing the thought story. Don’t judge your self, you’re free. In accordance, what & who you are wanting to explore with, simply shows up.

A simple, plain, gentle, choice of thought. Source has got your back on all the rest.

@Rasheed ?? You as well. ??

@electroBeam Great question. First, a great feeling thought is never an issue. It is the order of creation creating. “Great feeling” is relative to what is on your dream board, what you have identified you want to create. Experience itself is created via Consciousness limitation, as such, fundamentally, experience is the experience of expansion. The experience of the “expansion of your consciousness”, is the act of unlimiting yourself, quite literally. If you can let a thought go, let it go. A better feeling, clearer, more inspired, more aligned with what you are wanting & creating thought is always arising behind it. If there is resistance to letting a thought go, then scrutinize the identity relationship, the condition or limiting belief which ‘holds it’. An arising thought & an accompanying feeling are not a tiny insignificant event in a physical universe. The “physical universe” is unfolding in accordance with the choosing of thought, in alignment with the absolute source, in expansion of Self, which limited itself, to create experience. We are an echo in a continuum of creation, experientially. A contemplation might be...as thoughts are appearance, just like a chair...what happens to all the chairs that are “let go”? They recycle in the universe and ‘become’ another appearance. So what happens to every thought which is let go? Why would it be any different, and what does that say about you, and your creating of reality? Imo, such a contemplation stands to draw attention to the creating importance (if creating your reality is relatively important, aka, what you want) of choosing better feeling thoughts. A thought is like a blanket on the floor with an apparent lump in it. When you look under it, there was nothing there causing the lump, it just seemed like there was. If you can just readily see this, that there is no ‘blanket / lump’, that you are the thought “itself”. then there’s no thought to scrutinize. If that is not the case, looking under the blanket is analogous to looking under the thought. Which is to say, inspecting the attachment between feeling & the thought. The bridge there, is identity / conditioning / limiting beliefs of Self. All which can be said, heard, experienced, is thought, sensation, perception. Of the utmost importance, is tuning into this actuality. The mind loves to project what is “inside” of / experiential - thought, sensation & perception - “outside” of thought, sensation, and perception. ALL...space, time, anything, everything, etc, etc...ALL, is actually thought, perception, sensation, which You are creating. You created the means of this creating, so you could create. If anything, it’s too perfect, too seamless, too convincing. You’re that good. Too good. Too perfect! A simple example of this, is the realization you have never experienced that anyone is thinking, let alone what they are thinking. It is always “your” arising thought, implicating a knowing of what someone is thinking. There is a great liberation is the realization, there is only this one at a time linear stream of arising thought. All thought is relative, and resonates in degree of alignment with absolute, with unconditional love - with creation, which thought is inseparably orchestrating.

@Rasheed Yep.

@Buba I misunderstood, ?? I thought you’d ruled that out. It can of course be most helpful for someone who will more readily listen to another, in leu of their own feelings, there own inner being, their own suffering. There are lots of professionals who can help you reconnect those dots. A very powerful thing happens for her, when you aren’t interested in her anger, when you are no longer affected - when you’re off creating the life of your dream. There is no assertion, but such love & zest sure pushes the limits.
