Let “sub-infinities”, “being a human”, etc go. It’s thought, which isn’t resolved by, more thought about it (thought)… only by letting it go, and attending to feeling directly, is any sense ‘made’. If infinity is absolute potential… thought can go on forever…. While this is the most intelligent manifestation already. Literally nothing to think about. There is just to ‘live the life’. Appreciation, gratitude, enjoyment. Hone it to create the life you most truly desire. Join in this celebration. (Imo). There really is no problem, but thought makes it so. Paradox is only ‘in your head’, or of thought. Paradox isn’t “out there”, or, “of infinity”.

@Someone here Looking to thought for the origin is really just more thinking / thought. ‘Go to’ feeling. Let thought be. Express whatever arises in feeling. Use the emotional scale to identify specific emotions experienced. Continue expressing. A ruminating or overactive mind is resolved from emotional expression. @Javfly33 And now here also. Lol! No reason. LMAO

@Someone here When it’s noticed thoughts which seems to be about thoughts aren’t, but are just, more appearing thoughts… it’s pretty liberating. Humbling, for one holding thought to be of importance, but there is the opportunity for liberation ‘there’ too. A thought is ‘made of’ the same ineffable as a tree or a cloud. The whole of experience, appearance. If it seems there is a ‘you and thoughts’ situation, feel the deep relief in that that would just be yet another thought. The fruitless-ness & absurdity of it all is most humbling and liberating.

@Ina Glad to hear that on the physical end. I’d just look at it like that’s how she is or is being, and there isn’t anything you need to do about it. Make a mental note of her business and your business, and let her be how she is. What more can you do really? Maybe if she starts crossing that physical line she might need to relocate to somewhere equipped to address but otherwise, try to lighten up as much as possible about it. Let her be, and focus on whatever else you want. Maybe get a few days away if you get to mentally engaged / entwined.

@AdamR95 Try eternal (being), vs eternity (time).

Beautiful. Sounds like more of a breakthrough than an insight. ??

@Thought Art Solipsism humor. So bitter sweet. I have actually. Pretty awesome. @TheLoneSage So true.

@Ina Is she physically hurting you?

@Thought Art No! I was just kidding! It’s fine. I banned her.

I hear ya. I keep beating this into my nine year old’s head ya know. “There’s no me and mom or friends, it’s just you!!!” She don’t listen though. Just keeps crying. What an idiot.

Your SO: ‘so where ya wanna eat tonight’. You: ‘oh honey you know as long as it’s not the absolute best place ever, it’s fine with me’. 1: Love & perfection are inescapable. 2: In spite of #1 - I escaped… and I’m not sure if I’m strong enough to “get back in”, to “take that leap”. When infinite humor is underestimated the joke is always on a you, and thus there is no possibility of it being offensive.

But love isn’t horrifying at all, love is love. I love you. I really, really do. Was that horrifying? It’s kinda, nice, simple, isn’t it?

@Kshantivadin The Emotional Scale is the best tool I’ve found. Basically, you look at the emotion you’re experiencing on the scale, and then express that, and then express the next ‘higher’ emotion, and so on up the scale, feeling the subtle relief of ‘getting it out’ / expressing it, as you go. ‘Pro tips’ lol, don’t skip over an emotion, don’t hurry, and don’t stop without finishing / going all the way to the top. Might take some time to experience initially, then it gets to where it takes minute to move from the experience of one emotion to the top, then after a while (though you could always come back to it) it just ‘clicks’ and becomes natural or automated or ‘just happens’.

@Vision Appreciate ya asking. Pretty soon. Learning as I go, tried an editor, realized that doesn’t work for this kind of book, and now into the editing. Going great, should be soon-ish. There is an ‘email sign up’ on my site to be notified when it’s done if interested. @mandyjw ? Very much looking forward to reading yours as well.

Notice that thoughts have an origin - is a thought. Notice meditatively, the space between the thoughts. The more that space is noticed the greater that space is realized to be, the less there can be the thought ‘what is the origin of thoughts’. Be careful as this can result in temporarily debilitating laughter.

@Vision For the base understanding, The Nature of Consciousness by Rupert Spira. For the ‘in action’ aspects, Ask & It Is Given by Esther Hicks. Then, I’d read Stillness Peaks by Elkhart Tolle to loosen up on thought / meaning, bringing the realization of creator creating creation into experience even more deeply. Then I’d look to dreamboarding and seeing that what is desired and allowed by the mind to be, does indeed by, for maybe six months. Then, I’d read the same three books again. Then more conscious creating / dreamboarding. Then, down the road, once the mind has really blown wide open, I’d read the Bible, and specifically the gospel of Thomas just for the delight of the full circle, and the pleasure of subtle distinctions like capitol M’s in Me.

Lightly assign a time to that entertainment for letting go of everything. Maybe 30 minutes. And in that 30 mins, let go as deep as can be. Even if you’re watching something, or playing a video game… let the body go completely. Deeper & deeper into the muscles, ligaments, tendons, etc. I find this to be almost equivalent to having just slept eight hours or not worked all day. The ‘five inner bodies’ model of Vippassana are very on point here. When the ‘inner bodies’ are let go, it is very much felt, and it is very deep relaxation / great feeling, and ultimately bliss such that working and not working and any entwinement with creative or not creative actually fall away. That might sound woo woo or out there, but sharing from direct experience and much inspection of this as of late. To create what I prefer to create on the project I’m on means physical labor (painting, drywalling, sanding walls, etc, etc) to the tune of twelve to fourteen hours a day, every day. Two or three times a day I sit and allow an ‘ultimate let go’ of all the ‘bodies’ and am rejuvenated. Without this, I don’t think I’d last even eight hours, and I don’t think I’d be enjoying it all nearly as much. There are some singular insights which come to bat in regard to ‘the changeover’… the going from working a job to whatever else, and the overlap ‘in between’… Use a dreamboard. No “thinker thinking”, simply, thoughts arising. Receiving thoughts & insights specific to what you desire and the way from Source, rather than ‘figuring anything out’ / ‘voluntary thinking’. Fist thing every morning, before any engagement with anything - connect / bring to mindfulness - that experience is one whole. This one whole experience, or, What Is… is morphing, becoming, the one whole experience you desire. Much like the trying to see if the light in the refrigerator is still on when you’ve closed the door, this morphing is unseen, but can be deduced, and thus it can be realized that you are steering it, you are at the helm, always. Thinking this what is is becoming what is desired is like, an ok feeling. Believing it is feels a bit more interesting. But knowing it is and can not possibly be any other way is ineffable.

@Vision Does it seem that way for Me?

@Kshantivadin Right on. There’s always that ‘language issue’ lol. Might be what you’re saying here, not sure, but I’d let the ‘higher & lower’ of emotions go. Jealousy is one of the greatest tools available. It’s very usable when employed, or maybe explored is a better word, to reveal more & more specifically what one prefers to create.

A cup appears to be separate, and communicatively we’ve labeled this apparent separate thing, “cup”. “Cup” means - not all the other stuff. Without ‘not all the other stuff’ implication, “cup” is a vibration, a meaningless ‘sound’. Same for ‘what’. ‘What’ means - not how, who, why, where, etc. Without indirect meaning there’d be no experience of meaning at all. Which there actually isn’t, which is of course paradoxically profoundly meaningfull. But desire (though the word is a label which only communicates a pointing) is not at all like a “cup”. There isn’t even the appearance of something separate. Actually raise your arm and finger & attempt to point to desire. When you do, and you realize in direct experience that this is not possible, you then know without any doubt whatsoever that desire is not ‘a what’, and thus no thought label could ever possible satisfy the desire to know & understand, desire itself. If you find you can not point to an origin or source of desire, allow the revelation to be simply, plain, clear, uneventful and self evident - in your own direct experience so to speak, desire is not coming from anywhere. Also, don’t hold desire to be exceptional. Is any thing actually coming from any where? Then you could consider, is ‘desire for truth’, really even a valid thought in the first place? What meaning has this phrase, this question, this sound, this vibration? What is ‘not the truth’, and ‘not desire’, such there can be the impression of meaning for ‘the truth’, or ‘desire’, or, ‘desire for truth’? Admittedly radical in a certain context, but meant as plain & ordinary… is it not a complete assumption that every single person you encounter is not already completely aware of the truth already? How do you know that is not the case? I’m not trying to suggest, imply or convince that that is the case, but I am saying how do you know absolutely that it isn’t? Isn’t it equally possible and just as plausible that this is the case, but one is thinking it is not?

Address the fear directly, without involving another person. If you’re looking for a healthy & fullfilling relationship, don’t begin it with manipulation. That’d be thinkin with the wrong head. If all you’re really interested in is yourself / your gratification / you getting laid, you could just resort to a prostitute. Then your intentions would be a match in honestly and you wouldn’t have to experience the gaming & manipulating, nor inevitable karma & shadow work of having hurt anyone.

@itachi uchiha If you share your connotation there I could do the same to answer. @Superfluo Beautiful, ?

To give or offer more thoughts in regard to the origin and actuality of thoughts would be a disservice. This reveals itself to itself in & as the silence of the practitioner. More thoughts never resolve thoughts which are only apparently about thoughts.

Notice when you’re thinking ‘am I a jealous person’ that the one aware of the thought and the one the thought seems to be about - are actually already the very same one. Thus there are not jealous people and not-jealous people. It’s not identity, it’s an emotion experienced. As a creator, this is guidance, and lets you know about something you want to manifest. How nice is it that there are billions of helpers of clarity for your creating? Luxurious really. Unthinkably awesome. ‘It’ will indeed linger until it is no longer believed that it is identity. It is experienced. Like a tree, or an ice cream sandwich.

Only perfection could experience imperfections. Only perfection can never actually experience perfection.
