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.

Just a friendly housekeeping suggestion, an opinion from conversations with many… if you don’t have the foundation of an effective daily practice in place, think twice about taking psychedelics yet. Also, that psychedelics are going to somehow ‘fix yourself or your life’ can be an extremely difficult trap to see through down the road. An emotionally & financially independent self reliant psychonaut is very much the ideal. Getting your Maslow pyramid in order and working your way up to a hero’s dose is not at all the same as trying to be like your hero by taking the same psyche’s or doses etc.

The desire is looking, obviously. There aren’t any separate selves!

“Ultimate Truth” has a sexy ring to it but, isn’t it really just, the truth?

Don’t drink gasoline, that’s toxic. And don’t attribute toxicity to people, that’s toxic. Instead employ patience and actual understanding. The understanding then becomes as apparent as us ‘people’. Only the truth can set you free.

Don’t under estimate the sneakyness of believing thought content - if the intention is peace of mind / peaceful mind / no mind / quieted mind. A thought is a thought. ‘Selves’ is not actual selves, but a thought “selves”, etc. ‘People talking inside your head’ is the content of thought (not actual people in someone’s head of course). Expression, and some time a lot of it in an ongoing manor is most effective. Especially with someone who already completely understands this from having quieted ‘the mind’.

@Matt23 Yes I am literally saying fear is thought based, not feeling. I’m not saying ‘and you have to or should get / understand / realize this right now!’. But I am saying you can, and that it is true. Start with the simplest most fundamental aspect… anytime there is this experience, check and see if there is a corresponding thought about yourself as separate. What I found most helpful is using the backside of the dreamboard and writing the thought out. It is much easier to see the implied duality (myself and some thing - thus I am a separate thing too) at play in thoughts when it is ‘out of your head’ and instead, in front of you to inspect. The revelation is most worthwhile imo. Try to keep in mind the effort if you will here is to help. If it’s not helpful, there’s no need or requirement or anything of course to consider or entertain what’s being said whatsoever.

A list of modalities.

@Fuhnominul Maybe the synchronicity is what is all encompassing, already the case. Maybe the numbers are a hint of sorts, an invite to play with this synchronicity consciously, on purpose. Focus on something genuinely desired and believed to be possible, feeling that this is already that, and blow the doors off this whole situation. See what reality is capable of. See if it’s really as magical as that synchronicity & knowingness feels. I’d bet every thing that it is.

@Javfly33 We been crazy all along.

@Endangered-EGO Excellent. “The truth shall set you free”. Not surprisingly, very true. Sweet, sweet contentment.

When he says ‘specifically the suffering of death and rebirth’ it is an experiential reference, not actual. I suspect that because this is outside of your experiential frame of reference, you therefore believe it to be literal or actual vs what it is in plain sight of your direct experience, which is a sharing of his experience(s). It is equally valid that the experience of death & rebirth are entirely without suffering. (⬆️ that is the small circle to your (at present) yang understanding.)

Funny how “YOU ARE NOTHING!!!” is so on but sounds so off.

Beautiful.

Might as well. If God imagines everything doesnt that include that Love is imaginary? When imaging love notice there’s nothing actually there ‘in your imagination’ at all. Blanksville. Truly, love is unimaginable.

The concepts of love are actually love. (‘Made of’). (Consciousness=Love+2)

@Preety_India I don’t have a clue how I would go about loving myself, since I am already myself. Instead I pour that which is myself into this life / experience via a dreamboard, consciously creating life / experience. I’ve noticed telling the story of wanted becomes reality, whereas telling a story of a past creates the experience of the same, or, the same old experience. The dreamboard makes it so easy, effortless, to be focused only on what I do want. And it does indeed manifest as such.
