Maybe there needs to be a poll: “to watch or not to watch” if GoT rubs you the wrong way then it may be beneficial to succumb to its perilous reality

Nope. Not a fan of that woo woo stuff ? Omg I’m embarrassed now. You know I was born in Germany (sadly only lived there a year before going to America) “alienated” glad you know what I’m talking about with the ?

Oooh that’s fear right there! Don’t think it isn’t love, but definitely something to observe. @now is foreverI just wanted to say you are one of the more parculier individuals on the forum, maybe cuz you’re French. Most of your posts fly far over my head. It’s almost always inconceivable...like a UFO ? thanks for the mind fuckery wake up calls mb now is the time to read this journal, cheers

Or rather Truth has much to learn about you

This sounds silly but I’ve never been to New York nor have I gone on a retreat so this opportunity is actually being considered ? Would anyone like to share their thoughts involving the retreat itself? I’m skeptical about the value this particular retreat will have

Weird like you start reacting with conditioning? Maybe you have an idea of how love should look and your expression is not going to mirror this so you put up the wall? @now is forever@Shin pardon my intrusion!

@Iiris hey wonderful I suspected (really it was obvious) you had genuine passion for playing. You are doing what makes you grow and you may not even be aware of it! Freedom you feel when playing without pressure or comfort is just around the corner and will become a part of every aspect of life Breath easy, laugh at your seriousness from time to time it’s crazy most of the things we worry about won’t even matter down the road

oh but it does (affect reality)...pshh watcha expect from an addict

Do you hear at the end of the 53rd minutes of the video: "is it different than the liver" I was cracking up! Sending good vibes for the trip! So excited for ya..will be pure love, you wont be in heaven, but you could become heaven (not that you aren't already)

she has that sort of mirroring affect on people

@JohnnyBravo This is excellent! Wonderful perspective and such a unique delivery for some great insights! "hey baby." Used to love watching your show as a child, appreciate the memories

@purerogue yes yes however contributing to society is essentially contributing to yourself. I have so much ignorance to wrestle with ?

I’m just starting to realize this. Thank you ?

@Jack Walter Leon Leo does suggest not take his word on anything but to do the work. When you can relate through direct experience the appreciation runs deeper ❤️ Stumbled on Alan Watts way before finding Leo’s work and revisiting his talks along my journey has been such a treat

@Jkris don’t act like you don’t know about your parasitic friend you call jkris... understand it only wants what’s best for the both of you except it Is trapped in the illusion of separation. Don’t take my word but figure out if it’s true

Yes don’t let it hijack the peace or let it and watch it suffer

Deep diving this is ?

Beware: an open mind is like an open can of worms. Make too many distinctions and life may not be so appetizing You must be a fan of @Truth Addict

in my experience, anxiety leads to depression. changes come after accepting we are the creator of our anxiety and therefore, have the power to change how we perceive and react to given circumstances. Acceptance does not mean we take the blame, only means we no longer feel it's useful to point the finger outwardly and instead reflect inwardly. The outer world will always mirror the inner...this is what is meant by "we create our own reality"

Actually I said im curious It's good to question why we do what we do and our thoughts, feelings and beliefs. I have played in concerts and am familiar with the sort of confidence you describe, reliant on self certainty. But i am entertaining the possibility of an innocent (childlike) confidence produced when there is the surrendering of the illusory control of one's own abilities. Those who love to express, perform and create are not trapped in thought cycles comparing their thought-self with the environment/activity because they embody the whole (as in they lose themselves in the art)

@tsuki @Zigzag Idiot Hmm interesting. Still not exactly sure how the mirroring is going to play out but I’ll sacrifice my precious ego here ?

@Iiris I’m curious, why do you play if it makes you suffer so much? Is there any part of it where you absolutely feel “at home” doing? Usually these creative jobs produce “flow states” or at least a sort of absorption into the atmosphere and total experience. This is something most performers can’t live without haha

@Inliytened1 the feeling like puking has been my experience as well. Kind of strange I thought it had to do with releasing trapped energy. What do you think?

@Mikael89 when’s the last time you had a friend and why don’t you have any?

The awareness of the unconscious action lead to your questioning and an answer was given! ? ??
