Was there someone other than me who assumed Nahm was a middle aged woman for months? Cause that would make me feel better.

Is it a fantasy or a visualization? Explore what feeling it evokes or why exactly it leads you to focus, or let go.

@ElhamMaybe it's not about the fantasy, it's about the focus the fantasy allows you to have?

Falling in love with yourself, spoiler alert, you aren't what you think you are.

Look into anything Abraham Hicks, books, clips on youtube.

A couple weird things happened today, I'm not sure why I like recording these synchronicity type things but I really do. I went on a hike this morning. The frost was burning off and I could see my breath slowly dissolve into the air in the bright sunlight. It was surreal. Looong ago there was a farm there, and there are guess what, old apple trees in the woods there. I had an impulse to walk to one but really did not want to. This is a frequent relationship I'm having with impulses. Then I started noticing chickadees singing and more showed up and they all sort of flew to that very tree. So I went to it happily and watched them. One stayed very close to me and I watched it for a while. My son asked what specific meant in the car on the way to the beach. I couldn't define this for him and had to give examples. "So "a dog" is general, specific is when you say, a medium size black dog with long hair." I thought I might see one later having brought this image to mind and later at the beach someone showed up with a black medium sized long-haired dog. It may have had a tiny bit of white on it. At the beach we walked a long way and I realized that we should have been wearing orange because it's hunting season. My mind started imagining us getting shot. "Stop thinking that, you create your reality." A minute later my son found this bizarre rock, it was black with red in an eroded hole that looked exactly like a bullet hole. My daughter picked it up and brought it home with her. It took me another minute to even make the connection. I couldn't decide if I should gas my car up tonight or not, I was dressed like a slob and didn't want to run into anyone, but I felt like I should. The last time I went to gas up I had an impulse not go, did not listen and I couldn't get to a pump. So tonight I decided to see what would happen and went. The gas station was PACKED, busier than I'd ever seen it, but I got to a pump perfectly when I drove in and watched other cars lined up waiting. I cleaned the house for Thanksgiving and found a penny on the floor and got an impulse to google it. This seemed really stupid, as I was busy cleaning the house and it's a penny in terrible condition. My faith was not great but I figured I should have faith and act on it rather than doubt. So when I googled 1994 penny. There's a rare version (not the penny I found) that has letter missing in the Liberty part, just the i and the b. Liberty is a word that has a lot of meaning to me. What does Lerty spell?, I wondered. It's a town in Virginia where Robert E.Lee was born. Pretty funny to have Abraham Lincoln's profile next to a word that spells the home town of Robert E. Lee.

I think so. It's the result of the oneness and connection we always have but are rarely conscious of. Our intelligence is just a small part of infinite intelligence. I never gave chakras and kundalini energy any attention at all, not even enough to even bother considering whether I believed in them or not. After I had an awakening I realized that they were extremely accurate ways of describing/illustrating certain sensations and understandings. Christianity was a huge part of my awakening, but it was because all my life I had contemplated certain things in the Bible, wanting to know the answers and understand but never getting there, and then during the awakening it was like "wish granted" over and over again. The best description of it is again from Abraham Hicks, "the grid filling in", but even with things I never knew I had wanted to know.

@electroBeam There's also something else going on because we are not actually separate beings. Leo is a teacher we all follow so it's obvious when he makes a realization that the rest of us would accept it too. But there's a more subtle sharing of insight and thoughts on a vibrational level happening too. Synchronicity is a really cool sign of this occurring. The void is the same thing that Abraham Hicks describes as the vortex but with different feelings associated with it. And all of this is synonymous with infinite love, it's all just a word, an image or a concept we attach to infinite love. It makes sense that if the void is the purest most powerful love, that our fear stops us from going. The fear has nothing to do with the void/Source itself but is only the gatekeeper. I think it is a confusion to equate fear with the void. So that is how Sadhguru enjoys his rich fulfilling life.

Have you noticed how Terrence McKenna saw elves, some Christians see Jesus, and how a lot of people here experience the void or no man's land and also have you noticed how much that's talked about here? Imagination runs deep. There is no past so all past imaginings are part of you, if there was fear or love powering the emotions behind it, it's more powerful and will come to the forefront when resistance is low.

My best guess is yes, some are, but only because they partially understand it themselves.

Super healthy fast food options, with biodegradable packing, yes please! Seed company, especially offering heirloom and organic varieties Garden, small farm consultant (test soil ph levels for people, build raised beds, make suggestions for soil amendments, garden location, etc) Start a conscious childcare center, emphasis on nature, outdoor time, activities such as yoga, art, music, etc.

Well this was a waste of 20 minutes that COULD have been spent doing butt shaping exercises, and really getting me somewhere in life.

You're trying to get women to submit to doing their best to survive in a game that's rigged against them. Of course some women are gonna upset the game board, throw the cards in your face and storm off. You would too. If everyone agrees to play A MORE FAIR GAME and it will be more fun for everyone.

The purpose of this thread is to share examples of stage green, and here you are suggesting that women would be better off by reverting to stage orange values and focusing on work.

Yes, psychotherapy is definitely called for, however we aren't speaking to mother of the child, we are speaking to the OP who is the child's uncle and from that position he only has so much power of influence. His relationship with his sister and offering help without alienating her is the best way that he can possibly make a positive change in the situation. Often people unconsciously throw away concern for parents out of their protective instincts for the child. In reality this hurts children much worse than examining a family or a situation as a whole and having compassion for everyone involved.

This is the point in the video that really matters for anyone who missed it. The reason so many young men are having so many issues attracting women or in relationships is partly because the entertainment that has been sold to them has encouraged them to think of women in a way that has only made it more difficult for them to relate to. Of course they have trouble talking to women, understanding them and attracting them. This type of thing hurts young men just as much as it does women.

Your sister is likely very overwhelmed. Is there anything you can do to help her out? Perhaps offer to take your niece or both kids for her regularly so she can destress? Ask her how she is doing? There's something that happens when you become a mother, and immediately all your family member only care about the children and how they are. There's a very strange thing that happens with kids around their primary caregiver, sometimes they act much worse around them and vicious cycles are common. It can take a lot to break the cycle if you don't get time apart to reset and reframe. In the past we had a much more tribal community settings where we weren't isolated as small families as much as we are now.

At the very end of meditation today "The Old Man and the Sea" inexplicably came to me. I read it in gradeschool, but that was a long time ago so I listened to it on audiobook today. "It is easy when you're beaten he thought. I never knew how easy it was. And what beats you? NOTHING" he said. I went out too far. Themes throughout the book, his dreaming of lions on the beach, the color purple, being alone, suffering, the love between him and the boy (his student.)

The true cause of loneliness is deeper than the amount of time you spend around people, or how many close relationships you have. But we need those too.

It means you're very wise for your age. I'm not sure matching pace can be a major issue. I think the real key is that we really resonated with it just because it happens to clear the mind and we enjoy it. Because God/Source is love, if a practice can evoke love and clarity of mind together it's golden. Bonus points if you're completely oblivious to the idea that it's a practice and have zero expectations.

Comparison to others is never a game you'll win. It's a difficult topic to consider and avoid doing just that. People and their stories can be really inspiring though. People do not appreciate the extent to which running and nature, or more so the combination can alter consciousness. Having been involved with the running community I've been aware that addiction to running is actually a common occurrence because of this lack of understanding.

He explained why in the original post, availability.

But everyone LOVES a good villain and what you resist persists. My suggestion would be to go to a print shop and put your portrait up everywhere and worship it daily Kim Jong-un style. Cardboard cutouts could also be a good idea. Leo, would you send me a lock of your hair? Oh wait... never mind.

It's not a "normal" thing for someone to have a massive impact on your life, and never have any sort of real connection with them. It's a brand new phenomenon created by technology. The subconscious brain will try to sort out that discrepancy through dreams.

This should be discussed a lot more I think. There are certain traps that come with being close to a guru and different dangers with the maverick approach. Sometimes you even end up attracting a trap you were hoping to avoid by choosing the approach you were less afraid of.
