“The basic mechanism of desire is, first, we create a lack and then desire whatever is necessary to fill that lack. The desire creates thoughts. The thoughts cover the Self and this makes us unhappy. Then we look to relieve that unhappiness by fulfilling the desire which momentarily stills the thoughts. The stilling of thoughts removes a bit of the cover of the Self and it’s the feeling of a bit more of the Self that We call pleasure. We wrongly attribute that joy or pleasure to the thing or person that was used to fulfill the desire to relieve the agony of the thoughts of desire that were covering the Self. Because of this wrong attributing of the joy to the person or thing, the desire will never be satiated because the joy is not in the person or thing. The only possibility of satiety is to remain in your Self!” (Levenson 1993, _Keys to the Ultimate Freedom: Thoughts and Talks on Personal Transformation_, 109–110) “__Lester:__ You are making the physical thing the joy and it isn’t. The real thing is that you are that joy, only a million times more so! As high as the feeling is that you get from sex, you can go way, way beyond that feeling in joy, and have it twenty-four hours a day.” (Levenson 1993, _Keys to the Ultimate Freedom: Thoughts and Talks on Personal Transformation_, 264) https://archive.org/details/keys-to-the-ultimate-freedom-thoughts-and-talks-on-personal-transformation-leste “Love is what you are already. … Sometimes you may seem to trade love for the stressful thought appearing in the moment. It’s a little trip out into illusion. Seeking love is how you lose the awareness of love. But you can only lose the awareness of it, not the state. That’s not an option, because love is what we all are. That’s immovable. When you investigate your stressful thinking and your mind becomes clear, love pours into your life, and there’s nothing you can do about it.” (Katie and Katz 2005, _I Need Your Love-- Is That True? How to Stop Seeking Love, Approval, and Appreciation and Start Finding Them Instead_, 245–256) There may be more fitting excerpts.

Hello everyone. I'd like to share my notes. https://mega.nz/folder/h5pG3Dia#6K7_dyn22-W5dR9C2MauHg See `README__.md`.

Thanks for the answer I can see what you're saying there, it surprisingly fits into my conceptual framework. Except for this sentence, what do you mean with answer for? To take responsibility? In what sense?

Thx. Working on that, cautiously. I have put concentration & mindfulness on hold. @Razard86's latest threads caught my attention.

Hello. This is what I am doing now. I’ve been at it for ~ a year. If I experience a stressful feeling then I know that it’s time to inquire. What’s the most effective way to go about talking to God? What are the instructions here? I am open to this path of no evidence I would like to speed up the process of awakening I don't care as much if it's not analytical.

Is this your sober state? Are you living Heaven on Earth currently? @Leo Gura

Nice thx.

This is at odds with Leo's two latest videos. You don't harm others in order not to get in trouble with the dream police; there is no mention of you living the lives of those you have harmed. Likewise if you kill yourself (which you shouldn't) then your family ceases to exist; you living the lives of your family members is not an objection. @Inliytened1 Do you agree on this? Am I going to experience my mum's life or not?

@Inliytened1 I don't understand how the post in OP is addressing the issue. If I am creating reality how come I am not aware of it? Not being conscious enough is not a good answer. There is no other side to the table. Everything that exists is here in experience except that there is no knowledge of how I am making it happen.
