That is sheer beauty if I’ve ever seen it. ??

@Alfonsoo A new seeing, appreciation & respect for the ‘space’ ‘between you & thoughts’ could arise, which is to say a new appreciation for daily meditation. It is likely impossible to recognize ‘pen’ is a thought, and not perception or sensation, while ‘attached’ to thoughts. Have a quick read of the ten ox pics, for a bird’s eye view of aversion, the emotional rollercoaster therein, and the adoption of the practice, and the equanimity & other fruits of doing so.

@Yoremo Expression is what you are doing here, now. You’re expressing pessimism. Expressing the next emotion could sound like, ‘when I experience boredom it feels like_______’. Right & wrong are thoughts, belief. Expression isn’t. You can’t ‘get it wrong’, no matter how you express.

Pessimistic thoughts don’t feel good, and what’s desired is feeling better. The loop is the belief there is a you in a state(s), and that you’ll feel better when you change your state, or ‘get into’ the better feeling state. Pessimism isn’t a state, it’s an emotion which is guidance, about the thoughts you’re focused on.

@Terell Kirby Couldn't agree more, as in you are not living in the finite mind, as finite and encompassing are exactly as they appears.

Careful not to shut doors you haven’t opened yet. ♥️ The finite mind is appearance, the one living in it illusion.

Of the ‘echo chamber’ / ‘group think’ / conjecture, or loosely speaking, what the thread’s about.

@r0ckyreed OMG yes. That open mindedness, that shift from all about the ambition and woes of how hard it is for the separate self, to energy. Blissful indeed.

Who’s consent? Self Inquiry. It’s thoughts which go on. Meditation. There is a certain fairness in that anyone can meditate & self inquire, inspect assumptions, beliefs & conjecture, and focus on a better feeling thought. Consent & God are parallel, in that these are both ideas (and not a causation).

@Meliodas Not imo. Given that you are creating by default, and everything is always working out for you, mind as well point that focus on creating what you desire to and allow yourself to receive various means of doing so.

No stage no stuck. You can not be stuck, similar to that you can not suffer. Only who you think you are can experience these.

The relevant factor imo is that it’s all made up. Granted there are the practical matters of having an income & decent credit history, but you can write what you want on a dreamboard, and a “bank” will just make up that there is “money” and lend it to you to create a “business”. Were this not your dream, there’d be no call to make all this up. Pronoia Is an interesting phenomenon.

I’d investigate that.

Might be a good example.

@roopepa ?

@EntheogenTruthSeeker Sounds great!

@BipolarGrowth Best medicine.

Ah come on! What state is this place in when a joke like that isn’t funny?

If you aren’t loving yourself, they intuit you’re not ready to love them. It’s like they can smell it or something. And if you’re twentyish, the potential s.o. is likely experiencing some degree of ‘mom & dad didn’t really love me’ emotional explorations, and unknowingly seeking a filler for the ‘hole’ (and not a hole to fill). A magnet flipped backwards simply can not function like a magnet flipped forwards. The way to get an s.o., and specifically one you actually love being with, is to let it (discord) go from mind altogether, and just loving being with you so to speak. The universe doesn’t need to be told twice, let alone a hundred billion times. S.o.’s been manifesting since the first thought & desire… but doubt is like a shapeshifter, which must be nipped at the root many ways until it no longer grows. Any mind at peace knows communion comes prior to relationship.

If you’re not a solipsist by now, you’re just dumb.

You’re right.

I, we, my, you & many aren’t conscious, nor understanding, nor born or alive, nor die or experience death. I, we, my, you & many appear & disappear so perfectly and benevolently as ordinary experience in fact, this goes on unnoticed. The outside is as beautiful as the inside. But don’t take a you’s word for it. Just sharing there is in fact a moon. In my experience, right & wrong are a paradigm transcended with kindness, something even flowers can not do. And in kind, right & wrong appear & disappear as well too.

Mentally involving her, like acceptance or forgiveness of her will not really resolve this, precisely because that approach is separative, conceptual, and intellectual. By this I mean of course, how you feel. When that is aligned, you can not be moved her, nor by a million of her. I’ll wager my house there is nothing more you desire for you kids, than for them to truly know, that, by fully knowing this. So you gotta know this, cause as you & I both know when it comes to the actuality of having kids, words don’t teach. Only what is exemplified matters. In the instant you consider you don’t have hate, there is the slight relief of a new way of experiencing this situation. In the recognition hate is not a thing you have, but is an emotion you are experiencing , there is more relief, albeit subtle. Notice, as in effortlessly acknowledge, you are of course already experiencing & expressing anger, discouragement, and blame… and also worry & doubt on behalf of the continuance of the well being of yourself, your wife, and your kids. Obviously with what you’re experiencing, there is the experience of disappointment on her behalf (bio-mum), and this can understandably be overwhelming, resulting in frustration, and pessimistic thoughts about the future and well being therein of yourself & your family. You might also be experiencing boredom as well… your normal energies to focus on and do what you do, but without your typical focus, desire and inspiration & inclination, to do it. The seemingly intuitive way to resolve this, would be to figure out what to do about it, and then proceed to do that. That can work, but perhaps this thread is the implication that what normally works for you, isn’t per se working here, and a different approach or understanding is thus asked for. I suggest that different approach, which will very likely initially sound counter intuitive to you, is selfishness. Imo, you gotta ‘get yourself right’ first, which to me, means feeling great, which to me means alignment. Taking your mind and the attention of, off of her & thoughts of her, and onto your own personal well being, mental relaxation, and alignment. This ‘letting it go’, if only for a moment or a day, is recognized as feeling the emotion of contentment. Not a concept of, but the confirmation in feeling of actually having made the choice to shift the focus selfishly, to your own peace of mind & well being. I know the ‘pull’ when it involves your kids, and I am still suggesting what I am. The reason I recommend selfishness in this way, is because when you start feeling that alignment, which is felt by default of letting this matter go for at least enough time to feel contentment, you then naturally experience thoughts of hopefulness. Yeah, I know, even with this, even with bio-mum. Likely seems impossible now, but what’s being said here is that is the power of contentment and hopefulness. Upon feeling hopefulness, new & more aligned thoughts about this, which aren’t arising now, will arise. Jesus referred to this as ‘the fertile soil’, which new thoughts (seeds) can grow in, resulting in the tree’s you desire to create & experience. This will feel significantly better. These ‘seeds’ will be of positive expectations, beliefs, and you will feel, truly feel, optimism, via the optimistic thoughts. Not sure I’d say this next part if you were sittin next to me, cause I wouldn’t blame you for throwing something at me… but… the only possible experience to follow in kind, will be enthusiasm, eagerness, and happiness - and I do mean precisely, thoughts, insights, epiphanies of that feeling-flavor. feeling-flavor. Again, might sound like impossible nonsense at the moment. Maybe it is. But you’d have to check the direct experience of what is being suggested. Maybe you already are. Dunno. From that vibrational offering, will indeed arise thoughts, and the corresponding emotion of, passion. Our greatest headaches so to speak, are the doorway to our greatest compassion, that which we feel passion to change, in alignment with the well being and power of, that which we truly are. Nothing said here is intended to tell you want you should do, only a suggestion, a friendly reminder really, of the well to which you could go for such solutions and ways forward, and perhaps of suggestion of how to get ‘back’ to ‘it’. That well is infallible, because that well is you, and you are the creator of your reality. Not in a past, and not on behalf of bio-mum or anyone else, as that would not be realistic nor necessary. But there can be great, great compassion for bio-mum, from your true place of recognition of who you really are. A well she is very much struggling to remember, or get back to, in having no example. “When you are slumbering on your bed, He opens your ears and seals your instruction”. Moses Relaxation & well being (alignment) are often over looked or highly underestimated in times like these. But thank God for the living message, and our ability to receive it’s instruction. The sea indeed will part for you, and I wish you, and all involved the best. No one should ever read this as it will only lead you to misery and suffering and you will never create the life you actually desire. You’ve been amply warned. Click at your own risk.

Agreed, and this ‘mod’ isn’t.
