Does that camera have footage of Bigfoot or aliens? Maybe a lot of pictures of big feet and sexy aliens

Wtf, I just realized I made this topic on my birthday

Man, that’s like having Michael Jordan on your basketball team and having him benched the entire game.

Hello y’all. Here’s a deep insight into attachment I’ve held in my secret journal since last August. I felt it was too vulnerable for me to share at the time, but now I’m ready to share! Slight edits have been made for clarity’s sake. Maybe you can relate to this experience, or maybe not. Either way, thank you for reading! ————- I was meditating this morning, and halfway through the session I observed my heart gradually beating faster and more intensely. Within a few seconds it became pretty intense. This is what I imagine people go through during their final moments before death. I’ve had this sensation many times before, with my usual response to avoid or distract myself. But this time was different. I made a commitment to explore deeper and to trust in whatever experience was to arise. Soon after, I had a vague, but deeply intimate image of my father. I realized in that moment how much love I have for him. I was filled with regret, sadness, and complete loneliness at how disconnected I’ve been to him. Yet, what was also very clear in that moment is how I am creating him. I had an urge to deepen and protect this relationship / creation, but I quickly realized that the mistake was to do exactly that. Something in me intuitively understood that I was attempting to reconnect with him from a place of fear and selfishness. So I let that image and idea of him go. My state of consciousness also went back to baseline. What I learned from that meditation session is that I’m still clinging onto relationships in this unstable way. I also realize how out of touch we are when we’re deeply engaged in the day-to-day life (i.e. our survival strategies). We keep chasing a final/complete/perfect destination that’s supposedly waiting for us; that we need to strive for and maintain it. Wisdom is teaching me that there’s not much time left; that the need for security and comfort can only go so far. And far it never goes. I’d rather open up to Truth in what I call Inclusive Unification. That is, the state of Being which incorporates the entire field of experience while simultaneously expanding beyond what we cling onto. Unifying all pieces of the same puzzle, while simultaneously not being attached to any particular puzzle piece. I still have much work on healing myself, but this was a powerful glimpse into the nature of attachment. The possibilities are miraculous if I stay committed and honest on this journey!

Focus less on the how to do something and more on how it feels to be deeply engaged in such activities. Your internal compass guides you.

You cannot force anything with consciousness - anything goes. Even limitations and close-mindedness. Seriously, what would have authority over Consciousness, which is NOW?

Survival takes on infinite forms and possibilities. This war, included.

Ah, felt. The best mental health therapists I’ve seen have been out of pocket; they didn’t accept my insurance. Sure, my insurance technically covers therapy sessions. However, from my experience, the ones that were “free” really didn’t help with my treatment effectively. I still respect therapists that spread themselves out by being part of the complex insurance system; they have a role in helping those who legitimately don’t have the funds to cover therapy. But the truth of the matter is this: Not locking yourself in a rigid system leads to autonomy and higher quality care for both the therapist and the patient.

Respectfully disagreeing about anything is wise.

All of my friends deal with depression to various degrees. I see beautiful in all my friends. And just for fun… embrace all phenomena!

There are different interpretations here To clarify, what I meant is the former.

Enlightenment is simple. You’re either enlightened or an enigma.

Enjoy what makes you feel inspired and creative, regardless of whatever AI has to say about it.

Wisdom is all around. It takes a seriously unbiased and clear mind to embody deep wisdom.

Living through difficult states, including depression, has made me stronger in the long run. Overcoming what seems impossible to get out of leads to significant growth and compassion towards yourself and others. Metaphorically speaking, I have not reached a finish line or destination on my personal development and spiritual journey. I’m simply realizing more and more that I’ve been moving in place this entire time. So is there really an end here? There appears to be change happening constantly. Change is occurring in the unchanging. Different states are change and You are the unchanging simultaneously.

I don’t discriminate between bliss and depressed states. They’re both beautiful, and in fact, can both be expressed simultaneously.

Don’t let age limit or strictly define you. You can learn from all different ages.

Kudos, baby!

All of you are sweet bison food. I wanna eat all of you for dinner.
