@Hulia @Hulia@Hulia Depends on the night. Goes through cycles.

@Husseinisdoingfine so like a highlights reel

Do they really need a new title? Why not keep the original title and then say 'highlights'

@Myioko A recent flash fiction from the group: (please see picture first) The kid knew he was destined for greater things. For example, this painting depicts his first trip to the market alone when mother had finally trusted him with a small amount of money. Of course he would need a sword and sheild to protect what precious little he was given. He was one of those kids who really didn't know how happy he was, until much later when everything falls to pieces. At some point the older self would curse the kid- unaware this is coming from jealousy, not spite. To him, nothing is worse than remembering what was lost. The child is put behind him and forgotten. The wise adult looks back and blesses the child - for the days he spent frolicking through seedy alleys and bustling streets were not a foolish waste after all. Fun and games can also be practice. But not only that... he was sending forth as a beacon of youth... or a calling to remember. Remembering the kid, the wise adult passes away for the resurrection of the child; but this does not mean mortal death. You see, it's realized that there never was a wise adult--there has only ever been the Kid. One who merely pretends to grow up. ARTIST'S PAGE : https://www.artstation.com/pav327

As opposed to any other journal?

@Hulia@Hulia Doing good. Last night I had a vivid dream, but upon awakening I couldn't grasp a single image or thought of it. So I tried the methods I'm going to implement in the guided dream recall. It didn't help but I also was more motivated to get up and have some coffee.

Do you make ambient type music as well? (calm and soft, yet quietly rousing)

@Hulia hahaha you didn't need his money

I love all three descriptions and also experience great recall. ?‍♂️

Do you know your MBTI?

Are those descriptions of the experience things that you are thinking while it's happening? or things you come up with afterwards? How about next time it happens, try not to think about what's happening or any possible implications. Just experience it. Then report back if you feel the itch.

@GreenLight @Leo Gura most likely it's me ? thanks I'll have a look

Do you guys give the 'function' of the brain more importance than the kidneys?

And 'they' can ruin an 'OBE' like putting ice in beer.

@Leo Gura aw but the false one are so funny and distracting. ?

Totally understand that. Of course I have no idea what your childhood was like until you share, but being a child myself we can relate on some plane. Is this true? Id like to hear from other women on this... Do you remember what triggered it? You don't have to share, but do you remember? Same here. I was suffering at work daily because it was bringing out a side in me I hated. Ok, even if that's true, you're creating that reality right now by fuelling it with belief. What if you could believe that past aggravation by bullies now brings you a sense of calm, because you know who you are and you aren't a victim? Again, only you know your experience. But my advice is don't let the 'bullies of the past' continue to create bullies now. Please don't get offended by this: know I'm only trying to help because I care about you.... But you have already said that you get defensive very quickly. If you search deeply, how many bullying situations in the last year or so has not been exacerbated by the defensiveness? The next time you are feeling bullied, try this : just smile, wipe your hands of this, and say ' have a good day.' and then DISENGAGE. no amount of defending yourself will ever help. And it won't change their mind, only rip yours to pieces. I wish you would rephrase this as : "sex, flirting, intimacy and calm romantic music goes a long way to calming me down, but I'm open to finding inner peace as well."

@SirVladimir I'm glad you are feeling more at ease. Also, I'm loving the advice on creative writing. I think the high stress and focus of my business kinda creates that balance for me. Also, nice threads ?

I agree, the funny thing about avoiding something is that you're actually running directly towards it without even realising it because you think you're 'avoiding'. As was said, by focusing on avoiding hurt, you are actually focusing on hurt. You can take avoidance out of the equation because it doesn't exist. So instead of avoiding, what does intuition tell you is the next logical step to healing this?

Ah OK. I see. Would you want to work on relaxing the defensiveness? I think Mckenna's spiritual autolysis would be beneficial and fun.

@Preety_India where do you live, and do you think it's possibly a cultural thing, where maybe you're not supposed to think the way you do?

@Preety_India not that you need to change for anyone else... The desire for growth comes within.... But have you investigated why you get defensive? Trust me, I used to get very defensive and I remember how that hurts, and how we eventually tune out the pain while will suffering from it. Have you tried any kind of spiritual autolysis?

Lol.. It's funny... But why are you asking us why you keep seeing turds? Maybe try asking for a dream to reveal any connections.

Is this on youtube?
