I would say that’s a generalization. There’s the broad picture of why people dress the way that they do, like you pointed out. However, there’s also the personal reasons, whether or not someone is aware of it or not. I personally wear skinny jeans sometimes because I’m actually self-conscious about my legs. Exposing the shape of my legs, despite all the perceived flaws I have with them, can challenge my own beliefs about them. Of course, from other people’s POV they don’t knows this, but that doesn’t matter. It’s my own personal fears that I’m exposing and expressing with the clothing choices I make. I’ve also worn sweatpants majority of my life, so I’m getting bored of being chill, relaxed, and cozy all the damn time.i Also, also, @Princess Arabia pulls them off real well!

I already experience pain and suffering in virtual reality. I use an app in VR called Horizon Worlds to help expose myself to social situations since I have social anxiety disorder. When I’m unable to speak and then freeze due to the fear of being rejected, that’s when I experience pain and suffering, as well as the missed opportunity for deeper connection with others. So fear is imaginary, but it is very real when you are deeply ingrained in it. To overcome fear you need to expose yourself to it again and again, without resorting to behaviors that steer you away from that fear when you’re face-to-face with it.

@An young being Another way to put it is that your understanding becomes more pure and holistic when you interconnect pieces together, rather than only zooming in on one particular piece as if it’s separate from the whole. When you zoom in on one particular thing, you lose the larger context. We tend to zoom in on what we want to see, rather than being open to understanding what it is we are seeing in the first place. It is wise to see the whole and the pieces as One.

Good job with reframing. Conscious communication starts by first developing a nuanced understanding of a situation, and not allowing your biases or limited perspective hijack the narrative.

@Princess Arabia flawless outfit. However, I am tempted to put a cowboy hat on you to make it even more flawless

Accepting yourself, too. Being vulnerable and having the courage to face aspects of yourself that you’ve been avoiding or suppressing is key to healing. Do so with the intention of understanding yourself, as well as an openness to experience whatever arises. What you perceive as wrong can be recontextualized when you see yourself clearly. Same goes with what you see as right. This is tricky, as it’s easy to assume that reality has to be one way or another in a rigid manner.

I had a profound experience while doing a guided meditation a few weeks ago. I hallucinated that I actually was in Gaza, underneath a bunch of rubble, and being pulled up to be rushed to a hospital. That hallucination gave me insight that it’s not wrong or bad to get help from others, and that everyone who comes to save us does so from good intentions. As I was being carried to the hospital, I also realized in that moment that I did not need to be a victim of whatever had happened to me. I can let go and explore different aspects of myself in which I’m capable of healing from a position not stemming from being a wounded trauma survivor.

Actually, needing others to be a particular or conditional way is the fakery. Imagine not being biased towards any particular other. Whatever “other” you perceive, is God.

It would be wise to not merely see that as a dream. See how it interconnects with other aspects of your life.

Completely embracing yourself, even the parts that you hate, is Absolute Love.

Consciousness wants to explore all different aspects of itself, including alien. However, that requires letting go of your current identity along with your ideas of what that different aspect is like. Letting go is not merely losing something, it’s also allowing something new to take its place. Also, when I say let go, I’m not saying to let go of your mind. That is an easy mistake to fall into. Mind is God. You lose your mind when you stop trusting yourself. Notice how you can see this in two very different ways: you stop trusting God you stop trusting your bullshit

What I mean is that humans tend to love one thing over another thing. So for a human to be happy, it needs reality to be a particular way. Do you really think that God loves a saint more than it does a terrorist? I know that is an extreme example, but contemplate it deeply and have a direct experience of what I am pointing to.

Being yourself is very, very attractive. That means not allowing anyone else to define you. If someone teaches you that you have to be a certain way to be loved, then that’s a huge red flag.

Just take some psychedelics and find out.

Yes, and to put it bluntly, you are mourning the death of yourself. Because they are you.

If we are talking about the death of someone you love and care deeply about, the pain comes from realizing how selfish you’ve been towards them while they were still in your presence. You can only start to truly appreciate how selfish you’ve been when they’re long gone.

Time to steal your ego! Thanks, Cat Leo

When you realize that you’re imagining different degrees, levels, and types of consciousness, then these kinds of questions will be answered with a simple , so to speak. Of course, that’s what LOVE is.

I tripped over a rock while walking with a friend. He was very concerned for me, meanwhile I had no care in the world for what had happened 😅 This happened a weak and a half ago.

This advice bodes well when dealing with conflict as well. With deep intuition and clarity of mind, wounds may heal instantaneously.

There are degrees to fantasies, much like degrees to consciousness. In simple terms, you can be trapped in a fantasy, or realize that you are creating all fantasies. This requires zooming out and merging fantasy with Love as One.

Super Mario Wonder… while high.

Infinite limits. For example, being able to fly in a dream would be transcending being human. On the contrary, to not be able to fly and be bound by gravity would limit you to the physical. Both are possible, and both are valid in their own respective dreams. God does not care which version it takes, as both are an expression of Love. What you wish is the absolute way reality should be is what keeps you stuck in an apparent separation from God.

Of course I am. A social worker and I were discussing about lucid dreams last night. She actually recommended I drink apple juice, as she heard from a scientist that it has chemicals that can help promote lucid dreaming. This is the kind of apple juice I drink. It’s not honest of me to be drinking it, however, as it’s made for kids. I drink it anyway.
