@ashashlov What do you make of the uncertainty principle?

One thing you'd get from daily morning meditation, is you would no longer have that fear.

@LowPlanetary Hope this helps. Here's how this reads to me: I know what I want. I'm considering ignoring it and listening to other people. I don't meditate every morning, so my inner voice and the voices of others are all on equal ground, making it hard to choose. And the part about you sometimes feeling entitled to a passionate joy filled life when that's really just a fantasy for most - what the fuck did you do this life for if it isn't passion and joy? Seriously, who are you listening to???? Do what you came here to do.

the hallucinations and reality / matter are equally real or nonreal.

This is your life. No one is coming to help you. No one will have the consequences of your decisions except for you. Do what you came here to do. None of this matter is real. You are real. Listen to yourself. Don't listen to others who don't listen to their higher self.

@Scholar If math or anything could perfectly predict anything, there would be no stock market, etc. Giving consciousness properties that you don't have.

Creating a hero simply requires someone to need one.

@Leo Gura Thank you. There was a comment that you made about free will and uncertainty that I thought was on this thread but now I can't find it. You had said something like the universe is a clock, and many decisions we make are in trial and error. (Sorry if that's not accurate, but again, the comment seems to be missing) My question is, is your opinion that we make some decisions, even in trial and error, or that we make no decisions at all because there is no free will at all, only the illusion of it? Someone else commented after you that we don't make a change immediately but we change the trajectory of things. Do you think that is true, in the sense, we make decisions even in that way, or again, that that is an illusion as well and we literally make no decisions? Thanks for being the only person / place I have ever experienced that someone like me can probe deeper and it's understood that's it's all part of the 'process'. Most people get frustrated, so you and this place are very special to me.

@John Flores Are there any steps you can think of that someone could take to experience ghosts or aliens? Actual steps. Like if someone asked for steps on playing guitar it might look like this (instructional): 1. Hold pick in right hand 2. Hold strings down on fretboard with fingers of left hand. 3. Drag (strum) the pick across the strings

Love is the experience of our connection.

Yes

@My_Name_Is_Mud As far as I can honestly deduce, I don't have a belief about ghosts. I would love to experience one. I'm excited about the possibility. @John Flores If you met a millionaire who wanted to see ghosts or aliens, what steps would you tell them to take? (With as much brevity as possible)

@John Flores Thanks for clearing this up. If, hypothetically, someone had ample money, how would they go about experiencing the paranormal?

@electroBeam It's the "if you do show someone" part that I'm at. For all my openness and looking, no one has showed anyone anything. @Leo Gura With all the respect in the world for what you do, this is an exact example of what I'm saying - this is always where paranormal ends. So far in my experience it always boils down to nothing but others' conflation. It always turns out they experienced a drug trip (I'm a fan myself) or a story they were told (usually at a young age) and adopted the details as their own. It would just be nice if for once someone experienced a ghost, or alien, or whatever, and said "here it is", rather than ultimately, "it all took place in my head" or "if you were me, you wouldn't talk openly about it" or the switch to "if you were open to it you would experience it too", which may be felt as genuine, but is also a simple defensive misdirection of topic. I've been open to aliens, angels, for many years, roughly 20. But still nothing. I am expressing from my experience. It reminds me of how religious people get offended when someone continues to ask about their religion. Apparently, it's not fun for people to discover that something they say they know, turns out to be a belief. Poeple seem to take words about a topic as words about their character. If you ask someone about a vacation they took, they'll tell you about it all day. They'll make popcorn for the slideshow. Ask about something that they claim happened, but never actually did happened, and they get frustrated pretty quickly.

@LRyan Look around. You are not nothing. There is no such thing. You are everything. The path is not direction, like a path you would walk on. The path is how you live. How you observe. Right thinking, etc. This can go in any direction. It is not predetermined. You are choosing. @Loreena That's two great jokes in one. Very funny. And.......so........how's that simple thing coming...? ?✏️?

You wanted to escape the matrix right? Sounds like you are but you feel the natural need to take everyone with you. We are each our own reality. Very few people want to escape that matrix. Keep in mind, if they were suffering enough, they would pursue it. Be at ease.

@love Practice love with thoughts and emotions of love in meditation. If you go down the path of thinking love is to or from your partner, you will have much to undo later on in your life when you want to experience unconditional love. If you want to feel love, feel love. Those who hold connotations of love being given become depressed when they are without someone to love. Those who hold connotations of love being something received from another person become depressed when there is no other person loving them. What is really happening, is you are interpreting what you're observing and allowing love from within yourself. Enjoy the illusion of love coming and going between you and other people, but first know that it is an illusion / misnomer. This will save you from suffering in the long run.

No offense, but how are you ever going to let go of your racism if you need your friend to and your parents to condone volunteering? You would have to think for yourself to gain any enlightenment. Not being racist is pretty low hanging enlightenment fruit. I hope this helps. I do realize it's an abrasive attempt.

@Shin When you empty your "cup" it fills up with the oneness. It's so beautiful, it brings tears. Don't try to hold back the tears, but do try to breath through it, and you'll increase your capacity for it. Allow it. You'll just get more and more filled up with it over time and it's the greatest thing.

@LRyan i hope it helped. one more suggestion. tomorrow and the next day read what u just wrote here. u might see that u are still talking about it. still sharing and reliving those memories which give u troubles. and also u have clarity on the big picture. so u r half way to where u want to be! which is awesome! imo aim to truly let it go. which means literally forgetting and never mentioning and reliving. i feel you are doing great and things will only get better and better

Are you indirectly stating that you put the needs of others before yourself?

@MissMiki Don't be terrified. This too shall pass. You have momentarily forgotten your strength. It will return. Hang in there. You are a strong empowered individual! Try to remember! You are missing the perfection and sweetness of life. Yesterday I watched the screen door close and I was enthrawled with it's beauty and majesty! It just spoke to me on a mystical spiritual level that no one else has access to! It was so beautiful that I fell to me knees and just repeatedly thanked God for that screen door!!!!!! Remember your power Miki!!!!

I am at the helm

The number one obstacle for not making change is literally simple. It is not taking out a sheet of paper and writing down what you want. Everything that would be credited to preventing you from making change is a false belief. This is realized when we shift our focus to what we want. Writhing it on paper and taping that paper to the wall is a commitment that prevents us from slipping back into some bullshit excuses and justifications.

Anything can be changed. The mind is not in the brain. The brain is empty space.
