Real intimacy if you will, is indeed intoxicating. Practice, contemplate - play around with - you can get drunk anytime, anywhere, without anyone, without doing anything. Intimacy as a most unbelievable icing on that cake of youness. Let the mind fool you a bit on from where this ecstasy & bliss arise, but not too much. Lose yourself in it, yet know yourself as it.

One day you will be dying. You will know it is your last breath, and you would give anything just for one more second of her bitching at you.

Let comparative aspects / thoughts of self & other go; winning, beating, being better, deriving being the best from comparative thoughts, winners & losers (motive). Allow inspiration; giving your best, being your best, expanding your best, encouraging the best in every one. You might be heading full circle, exemplifying, teaching. Contemplate, go prior, what is the point of all this competition really? What is it really about… the winning, or maybe more so just the experience in & of itself? Perhaps brainstorm a list on paper… when I consider all I’ve learned, all I’ve experienced… and I list it in terms of how would someone young & new to this approach this in terms of positive for self esteem, confidence, inspiration, bringing their authentic, inclusive self forward?

Yes, there are. No, there are not. Accept this.

Yes. “Consciousness” as a word is a pointer / pointing. Same for “thought”.

When something feels True, the feeling is Love, Goodness, Purity. When something feels false, look for the perspective which instead illuminates it with Love. ‘Reach’ for a lens of forgiveness, apology, understanding, acceptance, inclusion, unity. See “the bully” as “the victim”, understand the output of behavior, to cast that hurt upon the other, rather than introspecting and dissolving it into the self, love. Notice (thought wise) exclusion, casting out, and choose perspectives of inclusion, unconditional-ness. If I want to be physically stronger, I best eat well and get lifting. If I want to be spiritually stronger, I best appreciate the power of letting go, and loving. If a thought about me doesn’t resonate, doesn’t feel good, you know what…. then fuck that.

If I were to character that heart, it’d be saying but I am the nothing, I am the inside, I am the outside, and therefore these are not / are Me.

@Gianna I don’t think you’re ‘off’ at all so to speak. I think you genuinely, as in Truly, honestly, aren’t able to identify as in that isn’t possible, but are trying to impose upon yourself the notion you could or should because someone else apparently did or is. Which is hysterical really, if allowed. Another consideration, when you realize you are God, it is therefore realized there isn’t a God. Obvious really, if allowed.

Bible called this “purgatory”.

@impulse9 A Total mystery.

Right & wrong are the mirage, an appearance of the dessert.

@Godishere Yep. ?

She a great example of nonconformity imo, turning water into wine.

Kind of hard to focus on anything drunk on alcohol… which is the “benefit”. Relative to having been zoomed in (to any discordant thoughts or perspectives), it’s a reprieve, a zooming out, a break from whatever wasn’t resonating. But get drunk on what’s zooming in & out… and alcohol is experienced quite differently. Inhibits. Get’s in the way. Similar to psychedelics.

@Charlotte Legos be a wonderful woman and a lovely dog, so convincingly, that it seems one of them could be lost. But the legos are never really lost, that would also be an appearance, of the legos. All which legos be’s can ask of the truth of legos inwardly, ‘can anyone really be lost?’, ‘can anyone really be saved?’, and the legos will unequivocally ‘speak’ the truth.

You’re feeling your thoughts. They’re feeling their thoughts. Allow people the space to express, to let it up & out. It’s not personal or about you… they’re experiencing the discord between their thought and how it feels, finding their way. Just like you do. Just like I do. The key is you must take ownership of your thought, your perspective… that it’s an “attack”. You are perfectly designed to take pause, and bring yourself to all situations - regardless of what others bring. One big pot luck anarchy. Bring what you like, what you love. Hell, just bring the love.

L is for the way you look at me O is for the only one I see V is very, very extraordinary E is even more than anyone that you adore can Love is all that I can give to you Love is more than just a game for two Two in love can make it Take my heart and please don't break it Love was made for me and you L is for the way you look at me O is for the only one I see V is very, very extraordinary E is even more than anyone that you adore can Love is all that I can give to you Love is more than just a game for two Two in love can make it Take my heart and please don't break it Love was made for me and you Love was made for me and you Love was made for me and you

Oh how radiant you are, what a joy! It’s just a comment, took a few seconds. That 20%… one is in the position to ask, to look for clarity, or to project the current understanding, (or of course simply not interested). We’re close to actual communication, will inevitably be in communion. Can it be seen, in a plain and ordinary manor, that is what you’re saying I said, but that is not what I said, what I’m saying, nor how I think? What arise upon contemplating… precisely when does the need to tell someone else what they said / are saying arise? What happened / happens, when none of your needs are met? This could be useful. Problems are very similar to needs and projections.

@Tim R There’s no one to crucify.

@Tim R The truth is neither an understanding of love nor comprehensible, and can never be said or shared, love, God, self or otherwise. “Love says 'I am everything’, wisdom says 'I am nothing.' Between the two, my life flows.” Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, I Am That “Know yourself as nothing, feel yourself as everything”. Rupert Spira ”When silence speaks as loud as war, I’ve returned to what it was before”. Sammy Hagar ”The answer is in the room”.

You’re tripping balls so hard right now that you’re questioning if a we is tripping balls.

Write what you want on the dreamboard. Perhaps as you experience that it does indeed manifest, your experience with reality expands so to speak, and you move along your path… life & enlightenment in unison. The happiness sought, might be found intrinsically, in the consciously creating. I’d be at a loss as to what could be more thrilling, fun & fulfilling than consciously creating. What is not two, not separate, can not overlap at all. There are thoughts about these, financial freedom, enlightenment, etc. There is also writing it on a dreamboard and not thinking about these things. Experiencing, more directly, if you will. Try to notice if enlightenment is thought to be something you could achieve or get, there is an underlying assumption it is not you, not now, not this. You could talk to someone like a therapist and go about it that way too. You could also consider, if playing video games (‘being a consumer’) all day isn’t settling well, isn’t satisfying… then there is more that you want than that. When that, whatever that is, arises in thought, in the mind… write it on the dreamboard. I suggest ‘that’, whatever it is, is already within you, rather than something you need to think about or figure out. You could also consider (and directly experience) awareness of thoughts. Noticing thoughts which are about avoiding what you don’t want… vs thoughts which are about experiencing what you do want. You could frame this up as motive (thoughts) and inspiration (feeling). This ‘opens the door’ so to speak, to emotional awareness & equanimity. One way to jumpstart that is fitness, exercise, cleaner eating. Feeling well being, vs conceptual thinking about getting enlightened, or getting enlightenment. “Creator vs Consumer - what makes us happier?” In the ‘biggest picture’, maybe that just isn’t an accurate frame. Maybe ‘things’ and experience aren’t intended to make happiness happy. Maybe it’s all the icing on the cake, for Happiness. Though many influential people & teachers disagree… I suggest Happiness is as Esther Hicks describes… like a cork that floats when whatever is holding it down, under water, is let go. Or as Rupert Spira, Jesus, Alan Watts, and many others offer, Happiness is the true nature, what you really are. Using the emotional scale is most helpful in this regard, as one learns contentment is the result of letting expectations & conditions go, rather than something obtained or achieved… rather than a product of a doing, as if Happiness weren’t the default, the true nature, as if it were something a you has to find, get, make, or culminate. Then, from contentment, thoughts arise as to what you desire to experience, and in focusing on them, in aligning feeling & thought, you’re consciously creating, and therefore creating the experience of passion, excitement, eagerness, etc. Aka, joy.
