From Maurice Nicoll- SEEING OTHERS “Remember that we see one another by our associations, once we become ‘familiar,’ as it is called, with each other. What we do not understand is that seeing a person by one’s own associations with him or her has nothing to do with what the person really is. Try to see another person without associations.” V. 1, p. 296 THE SPIDERWEB OF ASSOCIATIONS “If we could see without mechanical associations laid down in us we would really see what things and people are like. Unfortunately impressions fall on a network of associations and prevent us after a certain age from seeing the essential meaning of things. We see life, as it were, through a thick network, a spiderweb of associations, and in consequence we never really see anything or anyone.” V. 4, p. 1399 ON ‘NOT FIXING’ “As long as you externally consider another person with a view to trying to change him or her—that is, as long as you think the other person should be different—you are not externally considering, but internally considering. The basis of internal considering is that others should be different, and from this comes ‘making accounts’ against others...One thing is quite certain, and that is that the more sincerely we observe ourselves and what is in us, the less smug we shall be. And from this it follows that we shall be less satisfied to think that we know what the other person should be like.” V. 1, pp. 268-9 TRANSFORMING MECHANICAL REACTIONS “To be offended is extremely easy. It is a mechanical reaction. Not to be offended, or to transform being offended is difficult. It requires a lot of thought, a lot of inner adjustment, a lot of remembering what one is like oneself, and so on, to transform the first impact of being offended. That is real work on oneself.” V. 1, p. 270 TRANSFORMING MECHANICAL REACTIONS II “When you find a person who obviously dislikes you there is another task for personal work. Notice what he dislikes in you if you can. Remember that we have to thank those who make it necessary for us to work on ourselves.” V. 3, p. 976 COMPASSION “Now suppose you are sufficiently interested and sufficiently con- scious to notice how these impressions fall on you mechanically, and suppose that you have sufficient valuation of the Work to wish to transform these impressions, which means not letting them simply fall on their usual place, exciting your usual dislikes and hatreds. . . . If you understand something of what it means when it is said in the Work that people are mechanical, then you will not accept the impression so easily. You will realize that it is not the person’s fault. You will realize that the person always does this, always says this, because he is a machine...(At the same time) you see your own me- chanicalness and how you are constantly doing the same thing.” V. 1, p. 339 COMPASSION II “It is impossible to endure one another’s unpleasant manifestations in the right sense of the meaning of the word unless we see our own unpleasant manifestations and know them and accept them...(We) begin to realize our own helplessness, so we can endure the helpless- ness of others.” V. 3, p. 832

Do any of you actually care about the other people here or is it just for YOUR benefit, ultimately? Both. @Keyhole

@karkaore A practice which sometimes is of benefit to me is to inwardly have no opinion about anything. It can give an inner spaciousness when gone about in a certain way. Become completely empty inside until this opens into a view which you feel purpose for. In other words, all necessary responsibilities are carried out for no other reason than - just for the hell of it. With aim of resigned patience until meaning shows itself. I had a friend called back into the military during Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. He's time over there was going to be around 10 months. As he was leaving he mentioned nonchalantly, "10 months,,, I can do that standing on my head,,,,, Hope is a bit of a help. ?

My gut feeling is that she truly feels her feelings and in that way, she is awakened. But she's not Realized because of the nonregocnition she's speaking to a crowd who the majority of are completely dead inside. -

@AleksM Thank you for your work. -
Ironically here, the Joker is simply jack of hearts. Serenade is the voice of the true Joker. Please excuse my walmart musical sophistication.

@Leo Gura From the very beginning of my finding Actualized.org. I've had a question in the back of my mind. I'll frame it in a folksy way. How much does it make your light bill go up for every 1 hour of video that members download upload,,,? I run up against my technological ignorance in asking.

@Bill W I'm grateful for the feedback.

Spontaneity comes from Being. Reactivty is when we are puppets with the ego holding the strings. ?
-
@pfletcha in addition to periodic hard physical labor. In the summertime, the wonderful therapy of an afternoon swim in frigid mountain streams. Taking long submerges underneath the surface to exercise lung capacity. The cold water also gives the body a beneficial shock. ?
-
Welcome @pfletcha I'm seeing an overworked and exhausted sympathetic side of the nervous system that comes into balance and healing with your new trajectory. Letting go,,,, parasympathetic side becomes more utilized through deep breathing, practices and letting go. Being spontaneous instead of reactive goes the way. Nonviolence and Trust.??♂️

Practice of using deep belly breaths to become more present is good ongoing practice. Relaxing any 'mask' of facial tension, also. Remembering to stop do this is key. -
There are more possibilities of difference in the human mind than there are stars in the Universe,,, something like that. Wasn't that the saying??

@CreamCat Those ARE the baddest shotguns I ever saw. Breaking up a bull fight which has an unfolding path that crosses a state highway back and forth is a problem of comparable magnitude.

A friend of mine used to teach a martial arts fighting style called mad bear.

No, I was just giving opinion. ?

There are the three types. Intellectually centered Emotionally centered always feeding on queen of hearts food Instinctive-moving centered Instinctive-moving centered people embody what they do. They have a natural genius for imitation. That's why I type Jim Carey as an instinctive-moving centered person. Appears he became Realized shortly after this chapter in his life.

Willie knows how to sing from his Queen of hearts at times. So, it's an expansive frame of reference.,,,,
-
I appreciate Martin for not hiding his hypocrisy. He confesses it elsewhere, as well. Mr pottymouth becomes Mr grouchy pants. Flagrantly expressing negative emotions. The Queen of hearts represent the 'i's in us which scream with the most intensity. Everyone has Queen of hearts. Queen of hearts food. How does Queen of hearts food affect you? That's a good question to sit with.
