20 Signs You Are Spiritually Grounded

[Thought Art]

Are you Spiritually Grounded?

I think it is important that we contemplate what it means to be spiritually grounded. 

It is going to be different for each of us but these are my thoughts. Spirituality for me includes the holism of our entire life not just when we trip, practice, self inquire, etc...

It's easy I think to get lost and to become ungrounded and I am glad to share my own personal contemplation with you.

I think it took me becoming a master of being ungrounded to finally calm down and value groundedness unfortunately. It’s a rather difficult thing to do with bipolar disorder but worth it.

@BipolarGrowth

Yeah, I went through my own ungroundedness too… suffering is a good teacher.

God ain't got no time for listening to 20 signs.

[Thought Art]

@RMQualtrough ahah then God isn’t interested in exploring what being grounded is

Man can you type them instead of putting the video?

[Thought Art]

@Focus Might… 

then someone will ask me to make a video instead lol

Its a good video… 

When I launch my website I’ll be writing the lists under the videos. For now, if you don’t like the medium then tuff titties

No one will ask you to make a video and if your purpose was helping others then you would have typed the list instead of this snarky reply

[Thought Art]

@Focus No one is gonna ask me to do anything. Instead of being thankful for an offering you just wanted it your way. Thats your problem. If you want me to do something than be grateful. If I just read a comment that says "I don't like the way you did this" that is fine. I have no problem with that. Tough titties for me, tough titties for the fact that the person chose not to take up the value that was offered. I am not gonna do anything for free, beyond making a super powerful video for someone who just wants more from me.

If you don't like it, its just simply too bad. You don't get the benefit. Others will watch it.

I'm not being snarky. But, I am not a push over and I am not here to please you.

My purpose is to help others, not be a door mat. 

This may sound aggressive or snarky. But, I need to develop a tougher skin. So, this is part of that process for me.

jk nice video, i went homeless and begged for a while because of how ungrounded a while ago. i think i began to notice a feeling of being grounded after the dark night and the dissociation with that. making shifts while being grounded is so fooken rewarding

You analyzed this way too much, brother  

I simply asked you to type a list if you really care and if you thought this is powerful stuff it’d have been enough to simply write them and help everyone benefit from them, the commenter right above me also had the same complain

the way I see it looks like a reddit post on an empty sub with someone who want to boost his content to get view counts, I’m not blaming you for trying but there are other ways to do this (no hate to your content I watched your video about marijuana and you seemed like a quite good gent)

but it looks like you are using this forum for your OWN personal gain

Yes I’m hella grateful someone like you exists in this world and that’s alone is enough, having bright souls like you who share this stuff instead of keeping it to themselves is quite powerful

but you need to be big, instead of being a branch on a tree you need to be a whole tree

of course I don’t do the same work and again I repeat I’m glad this world actually have a good soul like you. 
 

if someone wanted more from you he could have asked you personally like I did but in my case you didn’t seem to care about it lol

Ahaha, yeah I know she is really attractive lol. She is also a very grounding image.

So, you are feeling more grounded and are doing better?  What do you find help you to feel more grounded? What is being grounded to you?

@FocusThats fine man. I can't read minds. If you leave like 5 words telling me you want it another way that is cool. But, that isn't what I made and you aren't going to watch it and I accept it. I am not pleasing everyone and getting used to it. Don't mean any harm.

I hope one day you will see how scary it is trying to serve others and the need for being grounded, and not people pleasing. I am here to serve you, but I just posted a video. Maybe I will make written lists like I said. But, if you don't like this video. I can't change that and accept that.

No harm is done man all is well

 but that’s what I literally did, sorry if I came across in a bad demeanor, huge hugs. 

[Thought Art]

We are growing together I think. Hugs my friend.

I may come off as unfriendly because part of my work right now is simply not being nice or people pleasing. I will become more skillful and gentle as my skin thickens and I become more grounded in my truth. 

It's like.. my ego is part of this of course... I put work and love into something and someone doesn't like it... Well okay. I'll let my skin grow thicker. And love that too. I know this list of 20 things is really powerful. So, I can stay grounded in that. I can also listen to feedback without being defensive. I will grow as the weeks pass.

I am sharing in this community because I feel like I am a part of this community. I want all of us to grow and become whatever we want to be. I see a lot of ungroundedness passing through here on the forum and in many spiritual communities in general. So, I am problem solving in my own way. There will always be people who don't like what I do, so I have to learn to stand my ground and figure out what is the most skillful way to do it. I think that, people should know I am loving but I am not nice.

 I like the medium of video. I also write things out by hand and then read them from digital paper so its not as easy as just copying an pasting. But, I will add lists to my videos though they may not be as detailed or valuable as what I say in the video.

Also, making a list that is typed is easily copied into your one note which is added value.

Maybe, I will take your advice and add a list and the video so people can have the option. I think that makes sense and is a good action to take.

I appreciate you. Take care.

@Thought Art

yesss, a lot. uh i think just completely sinking into that dark night after getting put in my place by reality while being ungrounded, at some point nothing could distract me anymore and i just totally  sank into it. i think after going through a lot of catharsis i began to wake up and be like damn im just here lol. but after consistent meditation i was like daaaaaamn im here

Bro you literally look like my deepest friend in real life, I had a friend who just looked like you but with darker hair and pretty much the same clothing style

I never saw you unfriendly in any way

and yes we are growing all the time by simply being who we are, isn’t that a paradox? Lol

I really respect sharing your view of yourself but hey this is only how you see yourself, others might disagree

I don’t know much about you toughening your skin part, You seem pretty solid, is this a belief you kept from your childhood? Because that’s not something I see in the current you and I also discovered I have beliefs from my childhood that run in the background of my present moments and run through the flow you helped me catch one while we were talking up there actually now I got conscious of it and it’s out of the system

Yes, exactly.  All around in all social situations with everyone everywhere!

How we see ourselves, changes moment to moment

How we see others changes from moment to moment

When you share things with groups of people there is generally segmentation and people may like it, people may dislike it, and many nuanced in between. Some will agree, some will disagree.

I am learning to swim in this water. It's not easy. 

We often interpret, assume and project on one another and this is completely normal and fine.

And do they actually say what you say about yourself?

Definitely not. 

I am so full of shit and so are they...

I also know myself in ways better than others... and others can see in me things I can't see in myself.

We are all swimming through guesses, assumptions, interpretations, feelings, ego and it's always changing and unfolding as we move forward.
