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!

Meditation, running, anything that improves or practices focus. Focus comes naturally when we're interested but what happens when you train your focus and start watching your thoughts is something very strange, everything becomes deeply fascinating. Or at least progressively more and more will. Also by intentionally learning about things you aren't normally interested in, you can achieve a similar effect, for example most of us have experienced how once you learn a new vocabulary word, your awareness of it increases, and you start seeing it and appreciating it more, then later using it yourself. You have to sort of train this perspective with people, become interested in them, by first dropping the thoughts about them and just giving them pure aware attention. Dropping thoughts in favor of a chosen focus "point", learning, awareness and interest in a subject are all really the same thing, the same focus, and are all ways to "open your mind" and they have same effect.

@EmptyVase Of course! My thoughts from reading this and not knowing much more about it are that you're in the tension of searching for a "how I relate to people now" which is searching for a new self concept or identity that holds over time, that you'll never really find and secure. Kinda feels like the ground fell out from under you, and you wanted and loved the freedom of that, but it still feels funny sometimes, and every now and then you're like "OMG where's the f-ing ground?!". So a great way to deal with this is to determine what we want. Before, we were wanting to see ourselves a certain way, and now there's no reason to do that. It's tricky with other people because we want to use how we THINK they see us as how we will see ourselves, that's the perpetual search, "how do I see myself?". But what you really want now is to either drop the subject because it feels confusing the perplexing and because you can't receive and answer if you're continually putting out the question vibration. If you want to or must think about it focus on how you truly WANT to feel when you interact with people. Some of us have been driven so far into self image concerns and people pleasing that reclaiming that dream or vision feels like the most coveted thing, covered over, disallowed fantastical thing that we ever could have dreamed to want. And finally we get to allow that desire. We have no reason not to. So love, fun, standing in my truth even if on the surface it seems like an uncomfortable interaction, truly appreciating the other person, truly hearing/receiving/feeling what they have to say, and truly listening and receiving and feeling for the response, in flow, inspired. Not judging myself when I'm not feeling all these things I want to feel.

If you were blissful, infinity and you decided that in order to create you were going to seemingly (but not really) incarnate as a bodymind, what is the ONE thing you could do to ensure that you wouldn't totally lose yourself in the thinking process? You'd make something seemingly go "wrong" with your thinking process so you'd have to look back at it, question it and realize that that's all it's made of, and all you are... a thought.

It can be hard to grow up as a girl with Hollywood and advertising and not equate your looks with your worth to society, career and relationships as a whole. There are even studies published that say women who wear make up are seen as more competent. This was paid for by Proctor and Gamble and was widely published. So no, it's definitely not just about men, but you can't really remove them from the equation either. With that said, I absolutely love to see the changes happening in advertising with a lot more variations of beauty being represented than ever before. Flowers are only beautiful to attract bees, those dirty WHORES. Beauty just is. Survival is a perspective, if it's the only one you can see reflected by the world then it may be the make up (or made up) perspective you're wearing yourself.

Why does it hurt when you abuse your body? Because you are acting against yourself, the pain is actually a loving, guiding indication. Psychological suffering works the same way. When we hold perspectives about ourselves that aren't True and aren't going in the direction of what we want to create, it hurts. It's telling you to drop the perspective, drop the thought or choose another one. It's incredibly simple and amazingly Fair but most of us have been taught to let the mind be king, because that's who we are. Turns out feeling, Love and Truth are so intimately intertwined, and so intimately what we really are that we can't disconnect ourselves from that without feeling awful. Yet we still have the freedom to do so. Unbelievable, perfect Love.

Every human behavior is completely understandable. One of my biggest blockages to creating and just genuinely enjoying life is that sometimes I feel overlooked or insignificant. Of course, I Awareness am overlooked and already insignificant in that moment. Damn... tricky, brilliant, obvious AF. When you create something, some people are gonna LOVE it some are gonna HATE it, most won't give a shit at all if it even enters their awareness. I'm not sure why I would think that what I create should be any different from the normal range of reactions to music, fashion, or anything. When something becomes really popular people are given a motive to open their mind to it, "everyone loves this so it must be good" but then they might just be people who aren't really in touch with what in particular tickles their fancy in just the right way. So you have people who hate and avoid popular things, cause these things are unintelligent and watered down. And funny enough, they fall into the same trap. Vanilla is vanilla, but when you line up with your choice whether anyone thinks it's cliche, or vanilla or incredibly obscure and weird and fully enjoy it as if it's the only thing for you in that moment, there's nothing better.

Society is becoming more and more demanding that public figures lives clean lives. I think that this is a positive sign of an evolving society, and it's making life a lot more fair but as always, there's a danger of neurosis, expectation of perfection and of witch hunt like behaviors. I think with spiritual teachers this obsession becomes even more neurotic. We are like monkeys, if we see something wrong with another monkey, we are much less willing to follow his crazy new ideas of how to climb trees. If he's limping, and you follow his advice, you might break your leg. Common sense. So with spiritual teachers and taking them as encouragement, knowledge and an example of success in letting go of long held beliefs, it's sort of like, "uhmm hold up, can I see your basement first and check that there are no dead bodies in there before I implement all this?" (If the teacher is sensitive to this dynamic, and tries to avoid it rather than understanding it, they will be the Pastor whose only last perceived source of freedom is to screw their secretary.) And that metaphorical checking the basement won't satisfy, because you're trying to turn yourself into a new creation without realizing that the idea of you is always your new creation, already, anyway. "Whoever is in Christ/(Source) is a new creation." It really doesn't "do" to make people into people, "I Am the Light, the Way and the Truth" turns into an thought of Jesus on the cross will save me from eternal hell in the future. And so we shouldn't make teachers into teachers. "Jesus said to them, "When you make the two into one, and when you make the inner like the outer and the outer like the inner, and the upper like the lower, and when you make male and female into a single one, so that the male will not be male nor the female be female, when you make eyes in place of an eye, a hand in place of a hand, a foot in place of a foot, an image in place of an image, then you will enter [the kingdom]." The Gospel of Thomas So in the scenario of the Pastor screwing the secretary or the guru with his groupies, nice try guys! Close but no cigar.

Not sure this is it, but many women LOVE men in uniform, or men in their work environments is the next best thing, even if it's an office. It could have been a fantasy kind of thing, that environment allowed her to see a side of you that she didn't see at home.

Any way. Hadn't thought about that one much either. Any way Yaweh, it's my way or the High way. Yup, I'm insane. Ohh... I see what I'm trying to do here. I'm trying to use the thought of specific other people to bolster my own confidence in seeking, embodying and expressing this stuff. Cause it seems insane sometimes. In other words, I'm still personally concerned it's insane. My idea of sane is an idea a sick society gave me, and it was never a very clear, nor inspiring picture. I never did get to meet Sane. I'm sure he was a great guy. Certainly couldn't have been a woman. That's why wanting validation from people around this subject is SO strong I think. I could test out my new autonomy and independence and use how things feel to judge them by, and be free and connected with Source. But then, I sort of think that I might need the moldly lentil soup for something later, you never know.

Abraham Hicks says that your vibration on any subject is where you last left it. During an awakening do you clean up several subjects all together? That's what happened to me, a lot of long dormant but kind of awful feeling perspectives were shifted and some newer ones too. I noticed today that I have resistance to throwing out old food in the fridge. It's already too old to eat, but in order to clean it out and throw it out, I have to face the fact that I wasted the food, and the feeling of regret or neglect. So that feeling causes me to leave old food in the fridge, which causes me to waste more food because the fridge is cluttered and I can't see all of what is in there. If I could just ditch the feeling of regret and failed personal responsibility, the entire situation would be so much more efficient. If I get myself all motivated and psyched up to have an amazingly clean fridge, (couldn't take it any longer and stopped to actually clean old stuff out of fridge) then I can in one go, let go of all the old stuff, cause my focus is the result I want, and I get in the flow. So the awakening I experienced was like cleaning the fridge out in one go. But I may have missed some old moldy stuff in the back, (but god DAMN that thing looked spectacular from that vantage point!) and I never learned the habit of throwing out stuff when I realize it's old. There was this spectacular moment when I was in *poof* bliss state that I went to my parents house and they dumped some strangely reacting homemade kefir down the sink and both exclaimed over what a shame it was. That bottle of kefir was worth its weight in GOLD in my eyes. I watched this and I KNEW without a shadow of a doubt that nothing could be wasted. "What a shadow of a doubt." Just saw this extra text floating around. Where did that come from? Says it originated with The Scarlet Letter, "beyond a shadow of a doubt". Love that book. Fascinating phrase when you think of it. beyond (prep., adv.) Old English begeondan "on the other side of, from the farther side," from be- "by," here probably indicating position, + geond "yonder" (prep.); see yond. A compound not found elsewhere in Germanic. From late 14c. as "further on than," 1530s as "out of reach of." To be beyond (someone) "to pass (someone's) comprehension" is by 1812. be yond. Jesus language is dumb. I've been hoodwinked. hoodwink (v.) 1560s, "to blindfold, blind by covering the eyes," from hood (n.1) + wink (n.); figurative sense of "blind the mind, mislead, deceive by disguise" is c. 1600. Related: Hoodwinked; hoodwinking. hood wink? Really, that's all that means? Face palm. Anyway. I dunno, am I reaching for perfection? I'm not one to have a perfect fridge. I am not my fridge. I am be yond my fridge. I just want to let go of the stupid guilt about getting rid of stuff that doesn't serve me, that motivates me to hold on to it. I realized this morning that this sort of storyline of clingy personalities in my family wasn't true and wasn't serving me, and was the moldy lentil soup in the fridge. But I'm glad it bubbled up. I realized that loneliness and neediness is driven not by any conditions of people or myself but by not taking the time to appreciate myself and other people. Conversations are a learning experience because I have in place so many old habits of relating. I remember when I first discovered Eckhart Tolle I was so determined that I put on this fake persona and refused to complain and started repressing emotions. A week or two later I blew up and felt much better. It's a process. It's not a process. process (n.) early 14c., proces, "fact of being carried on" (as in in process), from Old French proces "a journey; continuation, development; legal trial" (13c.) and directly from Latin processus "a going forward, advance, progress," from past-participle stem of procedere "go forward" (see proceed). Masquerading as a man with a reason My charade is the event of the season And if I claim to be a wise man, well It surely means that I don't know

Pursue as much as you want, as long as it's fun, comes from inspiration and love rather than attachment, fear, neediness. Feel into the difference but don't overthink it. Great self care and doing things that make you happy and feel amazing will go a long way too helping you tune into inspiration to know when to act and when to focus on something else. It will also make the whole thing more enjoyable and that's what you really want all along, right?
