@Consilience ?

@TrippyMindSubstance Awesome. The ‘ultimate’ self referential thought is about a ‘you’ which ‘goes from’ singularity to ‘back in separation’. Going from singularity implies to somewhere. Singularity be’s somewhere.

@Thought Art If you say so.

@Thought Art ‘You & fear’, dream content which isn’t. Creator-creating-creation. Dreamer-dreaming-dream.

@Thought Art That’d be ‘what transpired’, but didn’t. Exactly like a dream and waking up. “Death” is dream content. ‘You & here’, dream content, which there isn’t.

@Thought Art When you wake up from a dream, whatever transpired didn’t.

No you, enlightenment; no you, no enlightenment.

@Adodd If you have a deep dedication to your life purpose, you’re going to learn & grow, A LOT. You’re not going to project or blame the hurdles & challenges for how you feel as easily because it results in the same results over & over (not feeling good, not manifesting what’s desired). You instead learn & explore emotion, more clarity & understanding arises, reaction & blame is more seen through, and you make progress (it manifests). If you’re not that committed, you’re more likely to settle for discord, like depression, believing it’s being caused by the world. (Or in this case, by a girlfriend, or boyfriend).

@paprika Why are you trying to change her, really ? Is that working? If not, what might?

How so?

@TrippyMindSubstance I see, thanks. The emotional scale would be most helpful. Blame is keeping that cycle of oneness & separation going. It’s pretty subtle. If you reach for the better feeling thought / emotion up the scale from blame to love, you’ll realize that’s what you’ve been repeating. But, you’ve been repeating this “about yourself” (in thought), vs understanding you’re creating & experiencing an emotion (feeling). Doing it mindfully, on purpose, illuminates when done unconsciously. Consciously, it wouldn’t be done anymore, simply for how you feel now, rather than in regard to what seems to have happened, or how the world is believed to be responsible for how you feel, or for ‘you separation’.

@somegirl In all fairness it’s probably impossible to imagine what it’s like without the experience of thoughts about other people thinking. I’m probably projecting something along the lines of fear, motive, and what other people think not working out for everyone or something.

@somegirl Thoughts pop up about what other people think & say, or might think & say, and you’re reacting emotionally to those thoughts. You blame it on the other people as if your thoughts about other people’s thoughts were actually other people’s thoughts, because more deeply you see they are not living emotionally reactionary lives. Or not, I might be way off. Maybe fear is real, who knows. That was just the seventh thing that came to mind and it felt very on.

@EugeneTheSage Whatever you frame up as to be escaped or delayed… go back and think twice, you might be in error. You might be projecting lemons onto the lemonade of life. How do you know with such certainty that what stands to enslave is not actually what stands to set the mind free? Nonetheless, if your vision and plan are actually less exciting, desirable, inspiring & invigorating than an ashram, maybe that is your best bet.

The experience is real, which the labelling & identifying hides.

Who embodies God.

@somegirl How does what you’re experiencing differ from jealousy & projection?

The dream was noticeably in contrast to how I feel the thoughts I focus on in “waking life”.

Atomically speaking, the perfection of crystal transmutes as it does not budge, like water de-bonds all and does not cling.

@TrippyMindSubstance For sure. Life is just one big shit sandwich after another and you just gotta eat em & suffer through until it kills you or you die of old age. Whenever it get’s rough & you’re not feelin how you’d like to, just suppress that nonsense of feeling, bury it deep down inside. People have been not meditating daily for eons and there is no reason for you not to fall in line and live an unexceptional mundane life filled with fear. It’s all Radom luck man, maybe you’ll be a politician and make your millions from fear mongering. ?

@devonrexcatz Let go of stress, worry, tension, stubbornness, ‘strong headedness’ and unwillingness to see & listen to the guidance of feeling, much more & more subtly. Take seriously bringing more self, as in bodymind, care into your life by scheduling experiences of relaxation & well being. Simple things like a massage or reiki for example. There’s a million ways to stoke the creativity.

Transmute energy (expression) vs suppressing (lithium). Trace it back to the root belief / misunderstanding. Don’t rush the process, and don’t underestimate projection of discordance. Look for your ‘that’s how reality is’ and or ‘that’s just how I am’ with more openmindedness (think: meta).

How many me’s you thinkin there are?

Focus is working perfectly & it is a belief that you are not at the helm, in control, or “can’t focus”. That rumination is aversion. It is the busy work of the mind in the avoidance of feeling. When it has become habitual it goes almost unnoticed. ‘Almost’, because it is always felt, anywhere from unsettling & boredom, to tension, frustration and irritation. It traces back to a self referential belief you created in innocent misunderstanding, in reaction to an experience. What you are subtly searching for is a response in understanding, which align that belief with actuality. Letting conditioning, and the resistance of it go, is for all ages. As a point of reference, my ten year old is enlightened. The innocent arrogance of “the knower”… the “one who knows without even directly experiencing”. You’re shooting yourself in the foot before taking your first step. Focus on how you feel instead of being right. There already is not a problem and thus there is already no solution. Those are just beliefs, conditioning, a learned way of thinking, which fall away into the practice. Make a dreamboard. Pop your bubbles.

Imagine the uselessness of a small sign in the middle of the woods that says “trees”. Obviously that sign would not be needed, because, trees.
