Put a ring on ‘it’ ?.

@Carl-Richard I’d recognize you anywhere.

Mic. Drop.

No men are really like that. Awareness is funny. Convincing. But indeed, unfettered.

Everyday begins with awakening.

“Come, come, whoever you are. Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving. It doesn't matter. Ours is not a caravan of despair. Come, even if you have broken your vows a thousand times. Come, yet again , come , come.” - Jelaluddin Rumi Once upon a time all was grey and all was possible, all was magical & fresh, just there & waiting to be explored. Nostalgia is a going home, the arising of home within you. Allow it, welcoming the friend that it is, receive it, encourage it, cherish it, revel in it’s realness. Put on that album that moved you. Walk down the streets you grew up on. Bless the one who broke your heart open. Breathe to breathe. Sing to sing. Ride a bike to ride a bike. Flag down that ice cream truck. Play in that sprinkler. Open your eye for the first time. Smell these flowers for the first time. “Sing like no one is listening, love like you’ve never been hurt, dance like no one is watching and live like it is heaven on earth.” ― Mark Twain

@Someone here ?? There is so much love here for you it’s disgusting. ?

Drop the resistance. “meaning” is emptying, it’s beautiful, allow it... don’t keep ‘spinning it’ into something bad, fearful or worrisome. Put down the weights you’ve been carrying, seize that opportunity. As “meaning” empties, M-F-MEANING fills in… unless you resist, by refusing to express, to let it out, to let go of what doesn’t serve you, what doesn’t resonate. What you are capable of creating, what you can do, be, have etc, is AMAZING! These limiting beliefs, etc, not so much. So let em go. Untangle emotion and yourself. You are prior to emotion. Emotion is not ‘about you’, it is what you’re experiencing. Existential nightmares are made of ignorance in this sector. You are feeling the guidance that is feeling… but still focusing on thoughts & concepts about it. “How do I go about not putting my hand on the hot stove?” Learn from the burn. Don’t put hand on stove. Put hand on wanted. How exactly would it be an issue, if you’d never heard of it? Obviously it wouldn’t. It’s conceptual. An ism. A belief. Let it go by not solving it, by not continuing to focus on it… by focusing on anything else which feels good / is aligned with good feeling. Take the ‘sting’ out by taking the ‘unique to me out’, the ‘my problem’ factor. The emptying, if you will, is the same for every one. For some it’s religious dogma, for some it’s vanity / over inflation & reliance on self image. For some it’s walls of defensiveness protecting the traumatized inner child. For some it’s ‘being the knower’. For some it’s a propped up facade of gender inauthenticity vs being as they truly are without caring what anyone thinks. In all cases, it’s emptying it out, letting it go. That’s the beauty of freedom, spontaneity, conscious creating, presence… it’s up to you. Not sure if this clicks, but, when I was younger I didn’t care for horror movies. Was always like, why people wanna watch this troublesome crap? It’s terrible. Now I love it. The more gut wrenching & insufferable the better. A lion roars. ? “For everything, there is season”. What feels horrid now might be delightfully insightful and fun later.

@nistake Awesome. ??? Thanks for sharing!

? (I’s imagining you nailed it right there)

@Someone here Unification feelings amazing. Wether it’s the tiniest insightful collapse or the Armageddon, the feeling is Amazing. Mystical, majestic, to-good-to-be-possible-amazing. Alignment feels amazing… wether it’s one single realized preference, or a ‘major’ insight, or a reality busting Revelation... the feeling is amazing. Conceptualization… not so much. “You have to let it all go Neo. Fear, doubt, and disbelief. Free your mind.” Stop adding to the conceptualization. Start letting what doesn’t resonate, go. Does not matter what you’ve heard or who you’ve heard it from. Listen to feeling instead. The intention to be the philosophical knower, the one who knows relative to others, was bound to conceptually collapse. Better now than decades from now, wasting much time in concept. The intention to create the life you most desire, and share the awareness you are unabashedly, pure joy.

@fopylo Sounds boring.

There's a shadow just behind me, shrouding every step I take, making every promise empty, pointing every finger at me, waiting like a stalking butler, who upon the finger rests. Murder now the path of "must we" - just because the son has come. Jesus, won't you fucking whistle, something but the past is done? Why can't we not be sober? I just want to start this over. Why can't we drink forever? I just want to start this over. I am just a worthless liar. I am just an imbecile. I will only complicate you. Trust in me and fall as well. I will find a center in you. I will chew it up and leave. I will work to elevate you, just enough to bring you down. Mother Mary, won't you whisper, something but the past is done? I want what I want. I want what I want. I want what I want. I want what I want.

@VioletFlame Uncanny. Same childhood basically . Brought up memories of having to whipe the blood off my fretboard when it would get too slippery. Godspeed in your purpose. Profoundly noble. You’re gonna change a lot of lives for the better.

How long have you believed this? What have you done about it so far? What is on your calendar right now in this regard? What are you putting on your calendar today, in this regard? If your intention is adaptation, reply with more lies, more of the story of ‘you’, the mental prison which you’ve adapted to. If your intention is creativity, actually create a reply.

@fopylo Basically I’d like to slap you across the face as hard as I possibly can to snap you out of the deep slumber of believing you are not enslaved by the prison of your own mind. But there’s only text & graphics here so I’d like to use this medium to get as close as possible.

I grew from monkey into man, and I crushed fifteen million with a wave of my hand. I grew drunk on water turned into wine, till I was slave and master at the same damn time. But it’s why I am. Out of my head and into the room; Hello! The king of man, it makes no sense; when I bow to the priest while I worship the witch. But this is why I am the only one to make you smile, why I am a snake in the woodpile, why I am still here dancin' with the GrooGrux King. Out of my head and into the womb; so will my ghost take me from you. So you can remember the fool that I am. DMB

@mecca81 ?

@fopylo Can you handle an enormous zen slap? Creativity that worthwhile?

@SQAAD It’s easy to get lost in thoughts not realizing you are. Inspect what is actual directly. ‘Look’ for where you end and pleasure or pain begin. Find the separation which justifies the distinction. “The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us, even now in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window, or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work, when you go to church, when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth...Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself.” – Morpheus “I don’t have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It’s a depression. Everybody’s out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel’s worth. Banks are going bust. Shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter. Punks are running wild in the street and there’s nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there’s no end to it. We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that’s the way it’s supposed to be. We know things are bad – worse than bad. They’re crazy. It’s like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don’t go out anymore. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is: ‘Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won’t say anything. Just leave us alone.’ Well, I’m not gonna leave you alone. I want you to get MAD! I don’t want you to protest. I don’t want you to riot – I don’t want you to write to your congressman, because I wouldn’t know what to tell you to write. I don’t know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street. All I know is that first you’ve got to get mad. (shouting) You’ve got to say: ‘I’m a human being, god-dammit! My life has value!’ So, I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window. Open it, and stick your head out, and yell: ‘I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not gonna take this anymore!’ - Sidney Aaron “Paddy” Chayefsky ”Do not believe I came to bring peace...” - Jesus

Point to it.

Mindfully enjoy the intrinsic goodness of kindness & appreciation for all things & everyone. Know that feeling. Note it. Make a point to. Spend your time, energy & money helping others. As thoughts arise as to why you can’t or don’t actually want to, breathe & relax through the letting go of such though patterns which arise contrary to your intention. See more & more that it is not possible to love yourself, without simultaneously inherently contributing to the goodness of all. Delight in reality coming to life. Enjoy the unthinkable synchronicities and serendipities. Practice self inquiry. If thoughts arise about how it doesn’t work for you, let them go by focusing instead on feeling breathing in the stomach. (Not just any self inquiry, that self inquiry). As self referential dualistic thoughts arise, (how do I experience love) bring the mind to rest again & again by relaxing and focusing instead on feeling the breathing from the stomach. No longer pretend that a thought is going to answer this. It’ll always be ‘just another thought’, and love can not be thunk. Focus on breathing from the stomach as if that’s where ‘the answer’ would be found. As if there are entire universes of love-answers to be discovered there. Bring beliefs about paths to happiness, as if in some other time or place, to rest in the same manor. Brings beliefs about who you are, what ‘kind of person’ you are to rest as well. Bring thoughts of judgement, of right or wrong, and a you doing it, to rest as well. The more the mind is brought to peaceful rest again & again, the more sensitively self referential thoughts and self judgmental thoughts are felt. The more they are felt, the more they are realized to be discordant, the less they are believed, the less they are fed attention, the better you feel, the more you awaken the common sense.

You’re imagining that you’re thinking.

Being more “selfless” in regard to your mindset / attitude, time, energy, money, etc… or relinquishing the belief in selves?

Inspect how you’re creating the block. There’s certainly no lack of creativity here.
