Loving Radiance

@Rilles Agree, it is a right step in an individualistic society.

@Gesundheit Sure Now I see, the content of perfectionism can take any form.

Coming to the origin you mean?

I can confirm this. Over time the urge decreases because I focus on the good feeling coming from letting go. Me too and I've made a level of cleanliness model to be more functional and to be able to have a social life without getting triggered. But the virus situation didn't change a damn thing for me, lol. I cannot confirm this. Wanting to stay healthy is the reason for me. It sourced from an avoidance of alcohol in childhood and transfered to germs. I made games out of staying clean.

The 2nd one with the description "This book teaches you the secretive techniques of Kriya yoga, as practiced by the famous yogi [...]". (btw if you read the thread from the beginning, you would actually know which one it is)

I've found that first exploring for myself the feeling dimension which I experience enables me to radiate an extended perspective - like "wisdom". IME: Explore yourself first. Make it a daily "coming home". Feel the light in you (in whatever form it might take) and it automatically follows that other people are lit up. You may realize that other people are not lit up but that the light you are is projected onto other people. Those who like to be illuminated somehow manage to be in your life and those who don't just sort themself out. Feel grateful for everyone in your life as they all are teachers.

@Preety_India Are you sure of your judgement?

Congrats you got a B this time! If you care to study a bit, you might get an A+ on the next one

No, it would be his strength of being ok with being vulnerable. Showing vulnerability shows as you are secure in yourself.

Scrutinizing separations - Talking deep and superficially It is LR's preference to talk deep about things; he feels a fullness and connection to his being to explore this profundity. He has a preference to find something new instead of seeing the same things. It gets boring for him to look at the world from the same frame again and again. He sees the ocean's depth as being more interesting that the surface. He values new things as being better; he feels better when he gets something new. This also seems to be woven into his survival mechanics as a broad range of experiences prepares him better to function for survival. The demonization of superficiality exists in his perspective as he did not feel connected to his fellow students in high school (thus he suffered). Now he wants to experience a strong connection and that connection is tried to achieve through vulnerability and talking deep. Apparently, he feels the connection to source. From his point of view, is superficiality laced with more layers of separation (which shield from the authentic radiance of existential love) than profundity? From the divine perspective there is equal value in superficiality and profundity, or rather, they have no value. LR has a biased perspective because of his own judgement of what is right and wrong. He sees profundity to be a more direct connection to stillness/source than superficiality because of its felt nature to be without or less layers. What role does the theme of things coming full circle play in this (profundity is superficiality)? It is a pointer to source. It is a story that LR tells himself to validate himself. The story is him being enabled through his preference to connect more directly/faster/easier. Seeing that, all aspects are pointers and LR can have preferences independent of judgement. Does LR actually validate himself when he feels that his preference enables a more direct thread to source? He can corrupt everything to validate himself. How does it come then that one feels wants which are connected to stillness which also feel good? Perhaps is it one thing to feel something as being good and it is another thing to judge something as profound and superficial because of its nature of goodness. Is it really true that LR because of depth gets more directly to stillness? He feels it in his core. It is like the stillness of vulnerable intimacy, oneness. It is a story which he creates. However, he is connected to stillness when he 'does' something deep. Is there a possibility that 'doing' something deep is the shifting of focus? There is more than the eye sees: The focus on superficiality reveals profundity. It seems as if the conversations about deep stuff feels profound to LR. It seems to be a judgement: What is determined to be profound is dependent on the point of view which of course is chosen by LR according to his biased perspective. What is felt? Separation - as putting oneself above another through superiority of profundity - feels like corruption. LR creates separations and he excludes people to feel above them through felt depth of being. It feels good to break down LR and to scrutinize him. What is innocent here? The preference to examine something. Clarity. He validates himself by feeling contempt for other people which are judged to be not deep or who do not have interest to inspect; he projects superficiality onto other people because he is superficial in not examining them for depth of being. What lies behind the judgement of profundity and superficiality? Love. Being. Connectedness. It is seen that stillness is tied to the conditional preference. Underneath preference there is Oneness just laying there without condition.

@Lebowski Better write @User to notificate the people you feel that they might have insightful perspectives on this because many just don't automatically follow a thread they replied to. Have you already done the method for some time?

@Natasha

The damage is already done and internalized. ? Is not-knowing the way out of the room one locked themselves in?

@Craigxt22 my headache completely went away after 3 nights Edit: here is another thread I found

@Shin Getting every answer right on the quiz

I love that soundtrack! Looked it up and of course it was one of my favorite composers! Do what you love and there is nothing to do for you to be at the highest level of SD development. Rather than striving to be at the highest SD level, go and do what you love and you will intuitively be drawn to the highest level even if that means you take a look what the next stage holds for you and you look to discover that in yourself. Curiously, I found that I play video games as a coping strategy to distract myself rather than to have fun. Keeps me "away" from being with myself. What is your perspective on your past? It feels so good read your journal. Inspiring & soothing

Return To Innocence by Kavi Jezzie Hockaday Stay true to what is deep in your heart Don’t keep moving away Into minds righteousness Listen and follow love’s wisdom And then allow mind To serve that wisdom We have lost our hidden powers And our deepest intuition And without them we are adrift Lost in the chaos and confusion Of mind’s relentless pursuits Come back to what is deep in your heart Serve that tenderness With humility and grace Fall into the unknown And listen to your innocence It is still there, hidden and vulnerable But still there Waiting for your return Return, friend, return Again and again return Until mind falls into its right place As servant of love Not master.

What dynamics of covid denialism are gaslighting?

It is an interpretation for functionality/survival. You can easily see these constructs breaking down with psilocybin.

What dynamics of covid denialism are gaslighting? Or could you point me to a thread were this was already discussed? I am especially interested about that because a covid denier I know personally made a list of examples of actions by the German government that are interpreted by him as gaslighting the whole population. That would be just comical projection.

So, I love to talk deep about feeling instead of what I ate that breakfast. For me, talking about breakfast equals no depth; talking about feeling equals depth. Is it a duality that I create? Or is that merely a preference that I label as talking deep because of its nature to be a preference (to create validation for myself ?)?

@X_X Meditation. Feel the emotions, feel them fully. Examine them, bath in them. See that you are unchanged.

It's one way to define OCD, out of many other ways which I don't recall at the time. What it means is that OCD develops when you prematurely push high awareness into areas which you don't yet understand the underlying dynamics of. For example, obsessive gay thoughts which some men experience. Regardless of the actual sexual orientation of the man, the reason why these thoughts can cause obsession for him is because they are judgements which were supposed to be a high form of consciousness that is necessary in order to survive within a heterosexual society (during childhood perhaps). However, if this chain is missing, the high consciousness judgement will not be high consciousness anymore because it won't be based on the fact that the judgement existed in the first for survival purposes, but instead the initial judgement will be judged by a new judgement which is collected from society unconsciously. So, repressing and denying old survival patterns in favor of the new social norms in this case will cause OCD. How would that be applied to hygiene for example? I cannot speak on 5Meo but have you done the method of staying with it for 1 second longer and then extending over time the staying with the impulse for longer and longer?

What I read under psilocybin influence makes no sense, I cannot derive any meaning from it: I could read an instruction manual for a TV and it would be the same with my favorite book. Do you think your writings are still doing something behind the scenes, if so would you suggest to try it with psilocybin? Also, do you think SLEEP by Max Richter would be good for shamanic breathing?
