This will take away our creativity and cause attachment to language imo, which is simply a tool. I like free expression and when there is confusion, the individual confused can ask the questions to get clarification however I do see a recommended spiritual language use thread to be helpful for people trying to understand someone’s post

Good reflection material but don’t fall into the trap of becoming dependent on it or any information source

@seeking_brilliance How can we really expect everyone to be on the same page? Perhaps you’re seeking a spiritual bible of sorts along with a universal dictionary ?

Excellent video 2019 expo on shame with demonstrations and discussing spiritual escapism and disconnection

How does a limited ego surrender? You speak like a disillusioned extremist for the absolute ?

@Shaun When one says "i like that idea or discussion (wisdom or whatever)" and decide it is worth meditating on, this means that they have accepted the possibility of it and wish to sit with it for a while and let their subconscious mind bring some clarity to it. The act of meditating in itself won't change but through meditating, there will no longer be the veil of "you" limiting the perception of an idea

@ShadowraixSomehow trauma gets stored in the body so I think breath work is great for processing the emotions by bringing them to the surface and into awareness Teal Swan talks about it in this video of her working with a woman who has chronic pain

This is a juicy video for insights on social skill development and the inner journey (all faucets of you in different environments and social situations, courage, releasing trauma, beliefs, focus, abundance and attraction) cultivating social awareness and empathy (getting out of your head) creating the byproduct of life success skills "Everything's going to happen exactly how it should" (how would holding this belief change your attitude?)

@seeking_brilliance it will find you, the desire for effort and focus; your light will shine when it is time. Let curiousity take you along the spiritual path, it will be the best guide Edit: honesty and reflection you can keep those in mind too!

@Zigzag Idiot wow ??

@Zigzag Idiot that’s really interesting. The more unconscious my state of mind the more often I fall pray to holding my attention on others or rather getting lost in them if im very centered and clear, the need to control is not so strong and I’ll be able to shift focus effortlessly and or use higher tactical means of assisting others, like subtly clueing them in on how they are behaving etc. How has being a “Saturn” affected your relationships?

I feel like this topic/video would be fun to discuss with you two @jbram2002@Bill W Basically it's about why we play zero sum games in relationship dynamics. When i say we i just mean people in general, and I of course have unknowingly done this edit: okay so I guess she disliked the first titled post and reuploaded it:

@Zigzag Idiot haha perhaps! How about “the need to help or fix others” as this is something I struggle with. Seeing the faults in others or taking other people’s burdens upon myself if they speak of it

@Serotoninluv perhaps psychs increase “existential angst”

The "need to be right" is something i see as a defense mechanism we adopt at an early age. When i finally realized it in myself, I can recall a dispute i was having with my younger sister and once she challenged me expecting a reaction i was fully aware and the mechanism didn't happen. This completely baffled her and she simply looked at me speechless as i completely steered the conversation in another direction. The insecurity creates the lack of space one needs to see themselves and their need to be right maybe a lack of holding space for ourselves on the forum

People don’t realize simply having an awakening doesn’t mean all your subconscious baggage is going to magically disappear...unfortunately, to me, this means psychs won’t help things that haven’t been integrated/processed once the ego returns. @Serotoninluv has your insomnia been most of your life? I bet you have a pretty active mind. Curious if you’ve found any sort of create outlets? Edit: not sure why I make the assumption your mind is super active haha or even ask about your creativity. I know Martin does creative practices like music. Anyways wish you the best!

@Aakash check this one out. I think you might find value in it! Even though it’s seemingly unrelated

That's good reflection material @Aakash That mind of yours is really something! I "think" I get it....We all have "layers"

Are you saying God is like an onion?

It was a threat lol Yes it’s good to use the system to create the building blocks for consciousness work on a larger scale since we are stuck with and in it now. Basically infiltration from the inside out

What is “that” which you are referring to? ME = Self

Youre enlightened HELP! I don’t feel enlightened, I only feel! And what I feel matters not... All I know is that I am but what I am matters not... Where I go matters not... All I desire is to be... and to be...is ME! It is okay to be where you are and to feel Here lies embodiment in the endless sea of motion

@Enlightenment the ever-present stillness/peace IS present in any state or experience but if you are searching it will feel lost

No you, no problem ?‍♂️

Love. It. ?
