Solace

@Joseph Maynor Amen. Your journal is like a treasure trove of insights. Loving it man

@Nahm That is a beautiful perspective you have. It is scary letting go of that "I" that constantly compares the present to past experiences or an imaginary "better" future self. It means you live with no reference points, driven forward by your heart/excitement over a bottomless cliff of nothingness.

What really relaxes me is my own voice. When I speak gently and softly to my heart I fall asleep or in a trance-like state. I've seen the science behind this, and it is exciting. My brain wave state is lowering just by saying the most tender words to myself or others. In this state reality becomes like a liquid. I see energy vibrating and swirling around, and I feel apart of that energy. Dear one. All is well, all is one. Focus on your heart. Be one with it. Love the world unconditionally, love the one as the world. Just be present in the flow of peace that overwhelms this reality. Dear one, you may not see it, but let me tell you, it's just your mind that makes it invisible, until you love the one within unconditionally. This is the heart of courage my love. Loving without feeling love, relaxing into it, to end your undeserved suffering. It is so simple darling, just love. It lights a fire in me when I know that society is making people suffer through fear-mongering. Please see, that all fear is just an illusion, cause what you are so afraid of happening and what you want to happen will both never fulfill you. Love will. No job, career, lifestyle will fulfill you; only love. Often times our heart disguises itself as fear because that is the only time we give it attention. Once we love dear ones, fear disappears, as your heart finally knows you finally love it o matter how it feels. May this bring you peace, happiness, and deep relaxation. Have you noticed dear ones how meditation does not fulfill you without love? Have you noticed that it dosen't matter what you do, or what the outcomes or life are; only how much you love. "I'm sorry my inner child for not giving you the love, care, and hugs you deserved. I'm sorry for turning away when you misbehaved by being angry, or in pain. I know now that it dosen't matter what I feel, it dosen't matter what I think, it only matters how much I love you. I hereby love you, even if I don't feel love, cause no matter what I feel, you still deserve more love, not less. Now and forever. Amen."

Good luck! Make sure you replace those distractions with self-love or there is no chance you'll succeed. Saying this from trying to quit these sites for a year, until I realized that behind it all, the desire to be on YouTube etc. was just a heart in need of love. Take it easy and do it slowly Moment to moment.

@Colin Thank you again.

Binge on whatever you want. Just be fully present. Enjoy every bite of the donuts, play around with them in your mouth. Think of all the people who went into making that donut just for you, all the way back to the big bang, which allowed that delicious donut to arrive on your plate. If you are fully present, you'll find that you soon won't be eating junk food I personally stop myself at the desire to eat junk food nowadays, and love that one inside of me, but sometimes if the desire is too big I'll get a chocolate bar out and make sure I worship it like God if I ever saw him. May you be blessed with more love, appreciation and reverence for whatever you decide to eat Moonlight. Peace.

I could hardly watch. Thank you for this

Read "The Purple Cow", it'll help you create a channel that stands out from the crowd. To succeed on YouTube you need something unique and very useful in other peoples lives Something you would love (or die) to watch as well.

Like really what is the worst case scenario of fully committing to loving my heart? Like what is going to happen that is so bad? I keep holding back from fully committing because I feel as if I will not take inspired action. This is because the one in me who has desires will be loved, the one in me who takes any action will be loved! So that leaves no room for my personal will to make a decision as that one too will be loved more, not less. I will be too busy loving to ponder anything other than love, and that scares me. I'll be completely at the mercy of divine will from there on. This is the ultimate initiation from the universe to see if I'm willing to hand over my personal will so more light can enter my body. Just endless love. Just today I had to make a decision to go out with my friends or my family. And I listened to my heart which told me that friends were the best choice. It was effortless and completely without my personal input. This makes me believe that you can live like this, along with teachers I've seen online. I have been putting off this "big leap" for a while. Now after considering the question: What is the worst that can happen? All I can think of is being alone, but even then I can still make friends and my family will still be there. I just don't want to look back at this time in ten years from now, and still be thinking about making this leap. Let's just do it now, so there is no regrets One I love you at a time, I'll embody more of my higher self. One I love you at a time, the world will be free of suffering, and the 5th dimensional heaven on Earth will arise for all to relax and play in. Time to live a life of passion, abundance and relaxation through this last surrender of my ego, for from now on, it cannot outsmart me when whatever arises, even the desire to make decisions is loved and appreciated deeply. The divine shall guide my every word, and action. Enter me now spirit, I'm ready for your love to transform me once and for all, to decisively heal all emotions in me that need your love. I now attach to no thoughts, but just love them, I now attach to no feelings, but just love them. I surrender it all for love. I am the light, I am love, I am bliss. And the first thing I'll love is my fear of surrendering. I love you. Paradoxically, it requires effort to love at the start, then it becomes effortless. Edit: Actually I always change my mind on these things. I just want my approach to be gentle, soft, tender, and loving. To be fully present throughout all desires, and even act them out, fully present. This journey is like walking on a tightrope, and it's all ways a balance between putting in effort and then trusting in the rope to hold you up Peace.

For everything I'm going through there is another human in the world who is having a hard time dealing with the same thing. And then too, there is someone else who suffers greater than both of us combined who may not know how to get out of it. I am not alone in this. I'm not the only one. Each feeling just confirms what another person in the world is feeling right now too. It dosen't provide immediate relief, but it does make me feel not alone.

I agree. It is what we do with our time in each moment not so much how long we live. I'd rather live 100 years of excitement, and enlightenment than 1000 years in fear

The only practice is to not look out into the world for fulfillment, but to look within, into my heart for the love that is behind every single desire. TO be with another person is not for their physicality but for the love they give you, such is the hope of every desire. All I want is love. Sometimes I am on this forum just for receiving a little love from others, other times I am here to purely share. Same with all social media and the internet and books, it's all an external search for love. But love is within. Love from outside is temporary, but there is an infinite wellspring in my heart. I'm setting a few boundaries for my child-like innocence in terms of sobriety. I am committing to celibacy until the time is right with a beautiful partner out of love. To eating a healthy 80/10/10 diet without sneaking a chocolate bar now and then. Most importantly to maintaining my awareness on my heart, because the heart will naturally heal the physical/etheric/emotional/mental/causal bodies while leading to the "I AM" realization. I have actually had a little confusion there about how I can keep my attention on my heart while loving what arises. But what I've found is you can keep your attention easily on two things at once. But which practice is the best my ego says. Basically they are the same, except instead of just placing your attention on your heart, you also say kind words to it. This accelerates the healing, awareness is already a beam of love in itself, but saying kind words amplifies it. I love you x10000000 = spirit in physical form. @Colin I usually use my laptop so I am usually crouched down. But, with no need to really use it other than on here in service, it should be okay. I can feel the emptiness just watching the video, the lack of love in that static world. There is so much more to life once you experience God

Yes! That is healing right there. Keep focusing on that region. If you focus on your nose you will still have thoughts, as your awareness is close to your head. Keep it on your abdomen and you will enter a state of no thought sooner than you can hear @Nahm's voice in your head (I wonder if it sound deep and manly, or soft and gentle!)

Everything you see, hear, smell, taste, touch, think, and feel is real, you are not imagining it. Just from higher levels of consciousness the physical nature of reality disappears, but from our vibration reality is physical. We are not dreaming, it's just that there is more to reality we can't see due to our deepest subconscious beliefs which cause our nervous systems to make anything "higher vibrational" invisible Isn't that amazing?

I'm 18 too, and I've dedicated the year to getting enlightened through relentless love. Already I wake up in the mornings having no idea what I am, with many heightened moments. The best technique I have found in the long term as a lifestyle change is loving whatever arises over any technique I've personally done such as contemplation, or strong determination sitting or sung gazing. The best way to get an experience of what you are aiming for is to go on a 10 day water fast or get some psychedelics but it's not necessary. You want to heal the emotions inside of you, which will still be there even if you realize that you are infinity. So look into the book, "Whatever arises love that" and follow it with passion is my suggestion Either way, you will find your way.

When you're single: "I want a girlfriend". When you're finally in that relationship: "How can I get out of here while still maintaining my nice guy look?". It's so beautiful, this process of healing.

If you're heart feels an expanding fire of love <3

Better to make inspiring lifestyle changes, rather than doing short-term health cleanses I believe

I really grasped this deeply today. It doesn't matter what you do in life. You can do literally anything! It is not your job that is the problem, it's not your circumstances, or the people around you that is the problem. Why? Because none of it limits your ability to respond to life with infinite boundless love!! Whether you're on the couch all day, it doesn't matter. Whether you are a world class spiritual teacher who has changed the face of the Earth, it doesn't matter. The roles we play, no matter what, do not define us. The only thing that matters is how much love, appreciation, gratitude, and enthusiasm we respond to life with. So if you ever find that you are doing something "inconvenient" like doing the dishes, and that it is meaningless, it is just as important as any other experience. It is the way you view doing the dishes that is important. We can use the dishes to set an intention that: every plate I wash a child in hunger is fed. We can use any circumstance we are in to anchor the light in this way, and respond with love. That's why repeating "I love you" as a continuous mantra towards whatever arises is so fool proof. It makes you see through the eyes of the soul, heals all of your emotions, anchors the light of divinity, and clears subconscious beliefs until you wake up one day as God. And whatever you do while saying "I love you" simply does not matter. This gives you the freedom to make any choice, and not so much worry about what will happen. This is because whatever will happen is only happening to trigger the emotions in you that are neglected, and they just want your love. Love is truly the only answer to anything. Anchor it in whatever creative way feels right, and be prepared for lot of pain, for love attracts the darkness inside of you to be healed, liberated, and felt. So if it doesn't matter what you do in life, but instead how you view yourself, and the things that arise, then why not hand over any choice to your body. It will respond with excitement or relaxation with what it like, and fear or heaviness with what it dislikes. If in doubt just keep loving the hell out of everything, and you'll just naturally follow the bodies wisdom That is the biggest insight of my life so far, I hope that took weight off many peoples shoulders. This is going to be really fun to fully embody!

Are you sure you are full in? Full in means you are facing your greatest excitements that are also your greatest fears such as giving up everything and meditating in a cave, or traveling through the middle East in a rental car, or doing daily speeches in the middle of a city in your under wear. That would lead to massive growth, it would lead to the fastest embodiment of the higher self by purifying any uncomfortable emotions in your heart. SO whenever I find myself saying I am all in, I remember this, and know that there is always something greater I can to show reality just how much I trust in it. Follow your excitements that you are scared of doing if you dare (Impure emotions will intensify x10) Or just feel your emotions throughout your normal day, which is a bit slower, but perhaps a better place to start (reality knows where to find you, to trigger them). I love your enthusiasm. May you love the part of you that goes full in hoping for a reward, only to feel bad once it isn't given, sit with that one.

I am enthralled by the song, especially the lyrics and visuals. Like I was in the middle of a trippy dream

Sometimes when you feel down or empty it's nice to know that you have a safe place to write down how you feel, and what's going on in life. I have a personal paper journal (kept for 2 years) and every few days I'll just write down all of my inspirations, ideas, or problems; then close it up and move on feeling a bit more integrated and whole. A journal is sacred, and a good place to give your heart a voice

Why do you want to leave? Is it because the people around you aren't as spiritually aligned as you would like? A natural tendency or maybe a bit of both? This will help to give you the best answer

Such a powerful video to watch after my insight today. The insight is, "There is no right or wrong thing to do in each moment, anything can be enjoyable on some level if you anchor love through your words and actions, and nothing can stop you from expressing this. The purpose of life is to anchor love, and whatever you choose to do in between doesn't really matter, so why not do something you love to do? Even if you don't know what that is, keep anchoring love until you do." That is the fool proof formula to life that came to me. It was much bigger than this and was challenging to dissect but after hours of contemplating here it is in compact form! So naturally the next thing to find is my talent in life (or natural tendency) so I can express myself there, for what we are talented at we love to do. I like writing on here so that might be one. Another is public speaking. But I still feel really clueless, and there is no rush which the video I will share shows! Love will reveal it at the perfect time. The worst case scenario is getting a part time job you do for say 16 or 20 hours a week to survive, and the rest of the 140 hours you can do whatever you want. And even in the job, the insight applies. It doesn't matter what the job is, only if you use it to shine more brightly, and spread love matters Namaste. PS: Thank you @pluto for your support (as always). As I raise my vibe, I can feel the love you are sending me through what you write to me. @Colin Tomorrow mornings meditation I appreciate it.
