this is hot as hell wait, what did i just say

seems those clothes are too thin for this body that is popping out of them don't be dressing so inappropriately in a church of all places if you knew god was coming to dinner tonight, would you dress how you would do for a date

she was doing what her role requires ... clothing standards do need to be upheld in church whether you be man or woman - fat or thin, don't you be showing - too much skin it is god's house not the local pick up joint

you filled your head with stuff the outside values

maybe you are too nice a human being for some this is actually bad, the nicest in life gets walked over, gotta be very discriminating intentional ruthless in where and with whom we place energy there are some in life who will manipulate nice people and keep them within their clutches and make it seem reasonable and mutual just because we developed a deep bond with someone does not that they cannot be cut off mercilessly when it is seen they are an ill match for us people change, situations change, times change, values change we must be cognizant of this, and be willing to drawn a line in the sand of the past i am not who i was yesterday, i throw off all chains that impede me, i assert my sovereignty and my authority, i am my compass and my light this is nothing to do with someone else, and everything to do with you, boundaries 101 is major key to a happy life

leo hitting the proverbial nail on the head

moved it to where this is discussed

when you leave the house have half dozen topical ice breakers up your sleave: 1. how about them dodgers, huh? (insert any sports team or sports personality) 2. looks like Biden is up to his old tricks again, huh? (insert any politician here who has made a misstep) 3. you think we are ever going to get a summer this year? (some innocuous question about the weather) 4. can you believe just 83 days to christmas, have you been naughty or nice this year? 5. sheesh is the news media ever going to stop talking about Britney Spears? (insert someone famous) 6. i'm so bummed Ronnie Wood just died, were you into him or ever saw the Stones live (insert anyone who has died) these work fine at bus stops, supermarket lines, coffee shops if you can snag a nearby table etc. sometimes i stop at my local bus stop just to have a chit chat ... have never taken a bus

scintillating, i can feel the burns - well if there was a me to burn x

bonjourno @ivankisshappy travels and thanks for sharing these lovely thoughts

as for lifestyle, i do 8 hrs sleep 8 hrs self 8 hrs social self is 2 x 2hrs 40mins of inner work 2hrs 40mins paid work, social is 4hrs online, 2hr exercise, 2hrs entertainment this is every day and i don't deviate from it

it is a useful shorthand to explain something but each of us has unlimited amounts of both which can be deepened if wished use all the tools in the tool box somedays i'm in introvert mode, leave me be somedays i'm in extrovert mode, let's hang out

sometimes we grow faster than the people we admire and respect do not get overly attached be merciless if someone goes off the rails you are your own oracle, know this and live this

impulsiveness is the fake you, the one that buys goods at the mall and the one that says unkind words to people online, and then says what possessed me the false self is what possesses you ... it is you plus your conditioning the true self is the authentic you ... it is you minus your conditioning

looks ordinary viewed extraordinary #love this is the hormonal, hollywood, heart breaking hot version of love ... lack of variability evidenced #love this is the god-love which leo referenced in the toe podcast a good way to sample this love is to walk around with eyes 95% closed just barely seeing where you are going, people will think you are on drugs or blind or nuts but love them all the more for it

that's true words aid the mind in its job of separating ... but a silent mind solves it

i appreciate every word you ever speak, excellent pointers, thank you x

words = mind is seeing difference, love is seeing sameness can you switch off mind?

trust is perhaps the most important thing in the quest who to trust, where to trust trust means i take what you say to be true, but then i endeavor to test it to verify its truth you left some breadcrumbs to lead you to your awakening ... you have to determine if the words your receive resonate or not then go test within

ultimately god wants his charges to be more god-like this is called evolution or as the soul band the o'jays termed it, the Love Train

if you meet leo on the forums have to chop off his head metaphorically i mean he might be leading you down the garden path

let's assume you haven't free will 1. do you accept waking from a dream within a dream is possible, in that you have seen complelling evidence of it? if so you haven't free will but god might choose to wake you up as has happened with others you can't do anything but there are a million things you can refrain from doing so that god might have mercy and awaken you then you can take responsibility ps you might argue but not to do is still doing ... when i say refrain i mean just be, don't do ... free will is mind, to be is to exit mind ... anyone is able to step out of mind and this does not contradict free will since you do nothing you merely refrain

awareness is the only good - (if you have awareness you can kill someone and it be perfectly good and right ...) so don't try to be good or to do good fix you first then love them
