@Mason Riggle Careful what you wish for cause you just might get it.

When you think it's something that it's not, actually. Desire or authentic wants are not thoughts, not things, desire is a feeling. A feeling can only be felt right now, or it's a thought, not a feeling.

Wanting what you don't want creates resistance. So you can do that, if you want. You realize how many secondary cop out "wants" you/people have that you/people don't actually want? I want to love myself and feel good, but little Timmy hurt my feelings, so I need him to think I'm cool! Then I'll feel good about myself! I need light up Star Wars shoes because they are cool, Timmy wears them. I want light up Star War shoes. Well no, actually I want to love myself and feel good about myself. Enlightenment and light up star war shoes are sometimes the same indirect, forgotten core desire.

Why does it matter to you what they consider themselves? Your idea of privilege is your own. You don't generally give much thought to ways in which you have freedoms others don't do you? Jealousy often comes from a failure to believe in one's own desires and dreams, and a lack of attention to appreciating yourself and others.

@Raptorsin7 You can't lose or find what's not located.

Same cliche advice I wrote in everyone's yearbook when I was that age, still applies, more than ever. Follow your heart.

A bunch of things sort of culminated and I *realized* and it's gonna sound dumb when I say it, cause it's obvious but I realized it's about inviting hard feelings to me. Now I'm all over-enthusiastic over here like, "here, kitty, kitty", and nothing wants to come to me. Avoid A void. late Middle English: from Old French evuider ‘clear out, get rid of’, from vuide ‘empty’ (see void). Wow, wow, wow.

People who never identified with what they know already have an "in" when it comes to spiritual stuff. But you gotta drop the identification with being the "dumb one" or the one who "doesn't know" to really cash in on that. Who knows you don't know? You know why you're doing this, to feel good, you're interested in feeling good. Do you realize how much unencessary crap you cut through right there? Do you realize how wise that statement really is?

No one wants to change for any other reason than they want to feel better about themselves. Well, you can feel better about yourself right now, and everything will change, even though it doesn't matter anymore. We think to put the cart in front of the horse, but thinking will never be feeling, and what you want is to feel better. Feeling doesn't know time, it's only ever now.

The more you look for flaws the more you'll see. The more you look for things to appreciate, the more you'll find to appreciate. There aren't two of you, one that can judge the other and find the other lacking or falling short. It's an exploration, an adventure with no end, because what you truly are is not limited and finite, you are infinite. You would not want there to be an end, but if you aren't quite seeing it as an adventure for you to enjoy and aren't having fun, then it's not you that needs to change but your relationship with you. The only real end so to speak is that you will see through the reality of the self that you wish to change, and realize that there are not two of you. Ever notice how you can't "get" a joke if you're stressed, anxious or taking part of it personally? "Shadow work" or light work works JUST like that. As stuff starts to bubble up, it is seen as impersonal and is seen as the Love that it is. As long as there's a self trying to change itself into something it thinks it will like better than what it already is, you cannot see this, because it's not in alignement with the timeless, infinite, whole Love that IS already its true Self, true clarity, the very foundation for change itSelf.

That IS a supernatural ability. I mean, how many people do you know who can truly sit back and relax and fully enjoy the things they do without some anxiety, drive to do something more important, FOMO or an existential crisis or two?

So I got in one of those, "up past my bedtime, too tired to get up, but happily in a mysterious and stuck reading incredibly interesting things online" mood. https://www.businessinsider.com/titanics-books-predicted-disaster-2018-4#:~:text=The second novella — "The Wreck,the North Atlantic and sinks. People channel, everyone channels all the time, but when in a creative flow state, you channel more than you know. Harry Potter was channeled, Green Eggs and Ham, channeled, The Gruffalo, channeled, etc, etc. Creativity does not have seperate sources. An event that fascinates the world for so long has created so many thoughts, that of course some of them would spill over into non time and appear before the event even happened. I believe that everyone can channel wisdom and love, pointing to the truth, but sometimes people can channel "lesser" information, or predictive information, for whatever reason. If reality is co-created and you the Knowing of it are also the Creating of it, then you have the opportunity for certain "ins" if they work for love and healing. If you know something is going to happen you both created it with the thought of it before it happened and predicted it, or neither. This question can't be answered because it's based on a false premise. This sounds fantastical and impossible to the mind that likes to say things are mundane or fantastical, but Knowing is both and neither those things. There already is no time outside of thought. You already cannot and do not "live" within a thought paradigm or matrix. The very Knowing of everything is already time-less, space-less, in-finite. You can only describe what it is not, is it Knowing or No-ing? The only "way" is complete relaxation, coupled with intense desire and curiosity, and there's really no other word that points to being able to be those seemingly seperate and at odds things at the same time better than the word Love.

Any processed meats in your diet, or other possible migraine tirggers? Also have you seen an eye doctor, or considered that it may be eye strain, possibly from electronic screen usage or positioning? I would make it my top priority to relax everyday, even if that's watching something funny on youtube. With meditation, again the purpose is relaxation. I would also make a list of things that make me happy and make self care and mood raising my priority over any personal development stuff, it IS personal development. When we move our focus to things we truly want to be doing resistance drops in other areas.

I think it's an important stage or one of the symptoms of an important stage to realizing that thoughts are things. It's looking for peace of mind through getting rid of excess, in one's material, external world. It can start to feel like a self imposed rule or ideology, if the connection of letting go of thoughts isn't made and there is too much focus on the material aspect of it. The reason it feels amazing at first is because letting go of what isn't serving us naturally feels amazing, but one's material world is an outer manifestation of thier inner world, so cleaning it up will leave only that left to explore. If it gets neurotic or is turned into an ideology it's an avoidance of that pull. Wealthy people may naturally gravitiate to minimalsm as they may have already explored and lived having an excess of things and feel inclined to see if the opposite is more fulfilling. Essentially, your core essence is already the most extreme minimalst "it" could be, you come here with nothing and you can't take anything with you when you go, but that's already the case here and now. In the present moment, outside of thought, you can only ever expereince anything, you never actually truly "own" anything.

The better you get at seperating out what your true, authentic desire is in this VERY moment, from the thoughts trying to judge yourself for not meeting expectations and "shoulds" based on your limited obsesrvations of others around you, the happier and more at peace you'll be in life regardless of any choices or circumstances. Becoming good at tuning in with this connection with your true inner desire (which is a feeling, not a decision or thought), makes decisions when they appear in the moment easy, clear and spontaneous and allows us to let go of self judgment and thinking of decisions that don't need to be made right now, because they can't be made right now.

Says who? How does it feel to hate someone? Awful. You can deem that something is love, but what you want is not to stick a label of love on something, what you want is to feel it.

If you aren't seperate from anything, but you think you are and reject some stuff, then that stuff goes whirling away from you and eventually, like a boomerang, comes back asking, "Do you love me now? Do you love me now? Do you love me now?"

The concept of one implies a single thing, and implies borders around that thing. All other numbers including two are multiples or variations of the concept "one". So "one" is the primary seperation. That's why if you are saying there is NO seperation, it is more accurate to say that there are not two things, (non-dual literally means not two) than to say that everything is one. "Everything is one" gives existstance and non-existance, and the concept one is the birth of duality before we even get to two.

Attention! A tension!

Is everyone just pretending to be someone they're not? Well, yes. And no. Jesus, fuck! Yes, the two most emotion triggering words. They are not two! I've finally found my salvation! Found? My? How many is that? Jesus, fuck!

Oh!!! The cosmic joke, burns a bit, why'd ya do us like that universe? Cause if you didn't, there's be no doing or us at all? Still can't help but find it hilarious though.

Is it true that people exchange their time to make Youtube videos not necessarily to help or spread love or truth or inspiration but just to get views, attention and money?

Also funny, there is no focus without distraction, but really, there is no distraction, only focus because when you notice distraction, you're focused on it.

Learning about thoughts and nonduality and law of attraction sometimes feels like stepping out of an old automatic transmission regular car into a race car, but without knowing how to drive a stick shift. I've had the basic lesson but shifting still isn't too smooth, still stalling out sometimes. It's hard not to blame yourself for it or expect too much from yourself. "Keep the shakeweight away from your face!" When you get it right though, BOY it's a rush. This video is amazing especially when you consider where she takes the originally presented subject. I learned a few years ago how to not go crazy selling made ahead items, I used to feel really frustrated when sales were low. I learned that if I shifted my focus to having a well stocked store and the opportunity to be creative and make new things, rather than looking at my sales I could quickly be happy and motivated about everything again. I'd laugh when something sold because frustration arose because it set the goal I was then focused on backwards, even though I got what I really wanted. I wonder if "enlightenment" is the actual non-goal, and all the other stuff we do is the delightful distraction that allows us to get what we really want in the first place. There is no focus without distraction, but really, there is no distraction, only focus because when you notice distraction you're focused on it. HA!
