@EmptyVase idk.

@4201 Even simpler… it’s all designed for you to experience, prefer (want); repeat. -Literally- no thinking is needed whatsoever.

@Danioover9000 I’m not saying it’s ‘wrong’, but we have very different ideas of what a dreamboard is. There’s no visions, goals, planning, no pictures, no images (ideally). Keep it as simple as possible: write what you want with a marker, reality becomes it. Don’t jump to step two, just do step one.

@Javfly33 Cause love is free.

@Javfly33 That’s because love.

@Javfly33 How’s that thinking feel?

Aversion to feeling is suffering. Abe teaches nothing if not the opposite.

@Javfly33 There is no other possibility.

Because consciousness is not real and is not yours. Nothing could really be added.

Are you saying a doctor said that is the case, yet did not give any diagnosis or treatment? Yes consciousness heals. What have you done so far? Like daily meditation, yoga, reiki, retreats, breath work, trips, etc.? How is your diet?

Consciousness is neither real nor yours.

Inspect that assumption, and this will never be a problem for you again. ?

No.

For sure. Spirituality is totally useless. Unless of course you make a dream board, let resistance go, wake up in love everyday, and effortlessly live the life you most desire. Even still though, that isn’t useful for anyone.

@EmptyVase ?? Or maybe inspiration is a shape shifter, and here we are.

@Thought Art So well said. Hell, I even married one of em.

@catcat69123 What is the smallest, and I mean very literally the smallest step toward what you want? The smallest step might not even be doing anything per se, it might just be writing down what the first step is / will be. It might just be writing down something you want. Not a ‘whole big picture’ etc, just something simple. If I were in your shoes I would be expressing a lot, and I would take the path of least resistance. The ideal, the easiest way to go about it, imo, would be talking to a therapist daily. So as close to that as possible. Just someone you can talk to and ‘get it all out’ of your head. I know it’s overwhelming now, but the more you express the more you experience a broader freer vantage point, and what seems really tough today begins to seem less so each day. Momentum builds from the expressing, the letting it out, and you’ll start feeling better & better. I feel pretty strongly the theme for you has got to be appreciating & feeling good about one tiny step at a time, and letting that momentum of good feeling, accomplishment, confidence in getting somewhere, in things changing… start to build. The boredom is insufferable because it is a carrying of the weight of the past… while having desires for your future, for your life. We take that weight off by expressing how we feel. Tools… the emotional scale & expressive journaling. The emotional scale is a most helpful tool and anyone can utilize it. The key note with the scale is it begins an untangling from thoughts about yourself, your past, and your future… to a new orientation which is about the emotion you are experiencing. Another way to say that, is it helps shift from overthinking, to being present with the feeling. At first it can seem very counterintuitive, like… ‘this emotion of boredom feels terrible, why would I want to feel more ?’ But what you really, really want - is to feel great. If what you really wanted was something to drink, of course, you’d go to the fridge. If what you really want is to feel great - you go to feeling. The more you express, the more you feel better. The more you feel better, the less inclined you are to think you need something to feel better. A reorientation occurs from ‘what I need to feel better’, to ‘I feel better, now, what do I want to create & experience?’. Start at boredom, express it in your own way. That might be ‘yeah, definitely, I’m experiencing boredom, no doubt’. In accordance with the scale, then ‘reach for’ a thought about feeling contentment. A simple exercise for this is to write down on paper anything & everything that comes to mind as to what you think needs to change, and or what you need to change… so that you can feel better. Then after, look at the paper, and look around the room, and notice, you don’t have any of that stuff right now, and you’re fine. Contentment is not exciting, it’s not passion, but it’s a willingness to accept this moment as it is. To allow it to be good enough, without any expectations or demands that it be different. In a way it’s the ‘neutral’, but that neutral feels a lot better than anger, jealousy, worry or blame. Then, when you are feeling content… ‘reach for’ a thought of hopefulness. Even if you don’t believe the thought, feel the thought. Feel how it feels slightly better to focus on a thought of hopefulness, than just contentment. Then, when you are feeling hopefulness… ‘reach for’ a thought of positive expectation / belief / optimism. If a not good feeling thought bubbles up, that’s ok - that is you ‘doing the work’. Look at the scale, and pick which emotion you are experiencing now, and work up the scale from there. What’s found, ultimately - and it can take time, and some practice - is that you are always actually in control of how you feel… you can always ‘reach for’ a better feeling thought. The name of the game imo, on your behalf, is slow & steady. Feeling that little bit of better feeling, with each emotion as you work your way up the scale. Nobody’s expecting anything of you. Notice when you are being hard on yourself in that regard, and notice the tensing somewhere in the body. Relax that. Relax the whole body, head to toe. That habit is your savior. You must take deep relaxation seriously. Then you can / will feel more. Keep expressing, each day. Keep using the scale, each day. I was once there too man, I know it’s hard. Lot of resentment, anger, etc. Probably some hesitation about expressing, about talking or writing about how you feel, as if a whole dam’s gonna burst open. Maybe. But rely on that relaxing of the body deeply. When it gets habitual, or automatic… the relaxing the entire body, and breathing from the stomach consciously… everything starts changing, being experienced differently. Things might get tough here and there, but there is a great love, & a great lion within, and whenever we breathe & relax, ‘there’ it is. Every time, without fail. Be open & expressive, and accept help from all available resources, but above all trust that source within you. It will never steer you wrong. It’s always loving you. That’s why there even is any of this tension, stress, resistance, discordance. It’s all cause you’re so God damned loved brother. It’s a lotta love to bear, I know.

@asifarahim There are no stages in meditation, and no one meditating. ?‍♀️

If reality did not want you to be you exactly as you are, you wouldn’t be. As to what you focus on, what perspectives you choose, the depth of alignment you feel; reality remains unconditional. You are already free.

The things you’ve come to believe will make you like him, will not. They will set you free. They will center the pendulum. They will bring deep emotional equanimity & great expansion. Three things which require zero talent or experience; high energy, a positive attitude, and a strong work ethic. “Anger is a gift.” -Zach De La Rocha If you’ve never tried so hard and gotten so angry that you’ve punched a hole through the wall, you just ain’t livin.

When you say nothing will help, you make it so. When you say there are ways which will help, you make it so. “If you are breathing - you’re fine.” Matt Kahn

You’ll be here again, and there will be trauma. Being born is traumatic; we’re all born of pain, babies are slapped just to breathe, and die without love. But next go round there will be a book which heals. Write. That. Book. That is the transmutation. That is the healing. That is your beauty. It doesn’t matter if it’s good, clear, published, bought, sold, or ever read.

To the contrary, it’s because you’re believing in the seeking of purpose, as if it’s going to come from somewhere, someone, or sometime; as if that were not procrastination, as if boredom were not insufferable. That there is absolutely nothing to do, nothing required of you, nothing expected of you, no must’s, no need’s, no should’s, is pure liberation, absolute freedom. All that is undesirable to you & the whole of humanity begins with the disparagement of yourself, and all that is desirable to you and humanity, all which is and is creation, comes from good feeling, goodness; love. Don’t use what feels good to you, what you enjoy, to degrade; expand upon it onto a dreamboard, and watch it manifest with your own eyes. God is being the desire, you unfetter the doubts simply for how it feels. Let go of what you think you are, and by God you will indeed be what you truly desire to be.
