@Telepresent You can certainly compare someone pushing the play button on someone else's music to someone actually spending years of their life to learn to play, sing, and write the music....I just don't see them as similar. I am somewhat older, and it seems to me that hype & acting captures attention these days. It used to take talent and inventiveness.

@alyra treadmill or elliptical, medium to high pace, listening to motivational speeches. At around 30 minutes, YouTube some tear jerking, heart warming moments (soldiers coming home to their kids, etc) It's ridiculous but it works well.

@MiracleMan Being understanding on behalf of our self even if when we don't understand, is letting go. You can break the chain by understanding he did what he did because of his past. He has his emotions to contend with. You have yours, so do your best. When you know you're doing your best, you feel pretty damn good. Be that bigger you. You can see the bigger picture now, and feel the love that comes with it, or, you can hold that anger until he dies. Death is notorious for an instant understanding of a bigger picture.

@Visionary keep it up! nice!

What physical activities are you doing? Long time / distance cardio? Body building? How often, to what degree and are you increasing the amounts of weight if you are using weights? Also, is the tiredness hitting you mid day?

@Revolutionary Think Be the change. That is enough. Teach your kids what you wish the teachers in their school would teach them. Otherwise, get a degree and a job within the school system.

As honest as you are willing to be. Do you really meditate every day? If yes, please describe your practice. Did you meditate the day you were driving with your parents? Also, what thoughts might you be keeping active from your past, that are triggered by incidents, thus causing the anger?

@Martin123 You are rockin the fuckin Kasbah lately Martin! Thanks for sharing the journey! Lovin it ❣️

@Johnnydeep the only input that matters on this is yours. What I suggest would behoove you is to employ all senses for this goal. What is it? Why do you desire it? How does it benefit you and everyone? Have you drawn it on paper? Have you written a few pages about it? How will you feel when you arrive at the goal? Can you feel that way now? The gap between those feelings right now is all that prevents it from being.

@Martin123 Congrats Martin! IT'S ALL JUST SO BEAUTIFUL! RIGHT!? We are love.

@Dharam Fear is literally just your thinking. Anything but changing your thinking is procrastination to changing your thinking. If you want help accomplishing this, utilize the internet (videos). Just get listening to things, you thoughts will follow. And of course, meditate on letting the old thought patterns go. JUst let them go.

@arjuna I mean we are everything. When the ego is employed, we think and act in a seperate "me" way. For me, happiness is forever building momentum in being everything and seeing the everything in everything. Seeing God in everyone and everything.

@arjuna from my experience you can either be building momentum of separation, or building momentum of connection. I think of the ego as the path of separation in regards to decisions, thinking, and how to treat others.

@Scholar I don't think you practice daily proper meditation. I say this because one of the benefits is that we let go of the habit of expressing the first or second thought that bubbles up. Meditate, notice the thoughts, let them go and return your focus to your breath. You will see that thoughts keep coming, and then eventually they stop. Practice this daily and you'll soon be without the reactional impulse to say the first thing that pops in your head. Keep in mind, all you have to do is not do anything. There is nothing you need to do to align in this manor. (Other than meditation, which isn't really doing anything).

The hinderance isn't the feel good day dreaming, it's the "crippling lack" verbiage that you are keeping alive. Dream your dream. It's your superposition / imagination. You can be anything because you are and are made from everything. I suggest you keep your focus on your dreams and watch them come true. Just employ more patience, feel good about being able to have positive vision, know that practice and repetition, combined with connection & inspiration, will lead you to anything you want in this life. Belief & focus & practice become the skill level you desire. Don't ever repeat any of that self doubting stuff again. Realize you are the only thing keeping it alive. Let it go. If you struggle to let it go, admit to yourself you are not meditating properly every day.

@electroBeam personal development.

@cetus56 Perhaps you have not been holding many resistant thoughts lately? general acceptance & appreciation? awesome to hear and happy for u ?

@Shin sounds like you regained bodily consciouness ahead of your Self reentering the body during sleeping / waking

@Torkys seems like you are arbitrarily picking two things and creating a scenario in which you have to pick from them.

1.5 to 2 grams of shrooms might do it. studying quantum physics could help u see that you're just energy looking at energy right now. letting go of all preferences could do it. Also, something to think about that might help...all emotion can somewhat be categorized as points towards connectedness and feels good, or points towards seperation and feels bad. consciounessness just can't be found.

@egoeimai Thoughts most definitly can be stopped.

@alyra Sounds so depressing.

@J I had manic depression and anxiety too. I went to dr's and took pills. None of it helped at all, it got worse actually. What did completely 100% rid me of all of it was daily meditation, excercise, listening to positive speakers and healthy eating. For me, sugar was the biggest catalyst triggering my depression. It took me years but not because the effects take that long to work, but because I didn't have any knowing that it would be fixed by such simple things. I spent years yo yoing and put the "puzzle" together. That's just me though. We're all different. I'm sharing in hopes of helping. Maybe you picked up your dad's thought patterns at a young age? If so, that can be undone. I would have bet my life that there was something wrong with me and that I wasn't like everyone else. Now I am much older and I see that I picked up my dad's thought patterns at a young age. Consider having a blood test done to see if you're low on iron, vitamin D or B, etc. On another avenue, my 5 year old son wakes up like a ray of sunshine everyday. It amazes me really. But if he doesn't get attention from me for a couple days, he lashes out. Maybe you learned a thought pattern to get attention at that young of an age because your dad was depressed and not in a state to give you the attention that you needed or wanted? One last idea, and I know it probably doesn't seem like this would help because it seems to easy...but maybe listen to something positive everyday like Abraham Hicks. I think, in a big way, all we are is the perspective we're used to. Listening to someone talking from the best perspective you can find online, everyday,....eventually leads to you having a similar perspective. It's easy, and it works. Just my opinion though. I hope something helps.

@alyra Read that knowing you and you alone give definition to 'real' and 'illusory'. Also, you are not incorporating relativity.
