@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.

If the finite selves are illusory....

The confusion is that there is a you which is choosing. Crazy, but letting it go from mind, and feeling great (not-confusion) it becomes more clear what you want, because want does not arise of falsity (choice).

@Adam101 And yet if it is conducive, it is ‘spiritual development’.

Reality is an illusion. As Deepok said, reality does not exist.

Happiness is infinity, precisely incomprehensible, appearing as “comprehension”.

Seems like what we don’t know is problematic, but it’s what we believe we know which retards. What was the root cause? How is the root cause separate?

So true. One big clock. While one looks to escape through the void, the void looks to create through you, as you, for you, of you. There is no “void”. There is no “clock”. The I who understands personality is limited is the veil of unlimited personality. “I understand”... devil’s greatest accomplishment.

An eye opening article no one will read. When cynicism has been mastered, ‘turn the page’.

Mastery is a river ride, not a destination. It’s now or not at all. Never in a past or future.

The beauty of music is that there are not particles, writers, writing, nor claimers of. All evidence points to the no lose situation of waves... Fuck you.

There are literally limitless ways to make money. It’s not actually a do what you want vs make money to be able to retire scenario. That’s more of a ‘first glance’, and the matrix is already perfectly at quota on agents. Why not take Leo’s LP course now? Life’s quick. Let the “thinker thinking” concept go. Receive instead. Infinity’s not running out of insight, passion or inspiration anytime soon. All ‘you’ gotta do is utter the words so to speak, ‘move mountain’. “When I’m feeling stuck and need a buck I don’t rely on luck because” JP

@jasonjp1016 It’s not negative. You’re kicking some leaves off the truth. It shakes the reactionary out of the bushes. Good on you sir. “The first time you feel it, it might are you mad. The next time you feel it, it might make you sad. But you’ll be glad when you’ve found, the power that makes the world go round.” HL Yet, if you’re to continue calling us rats, make sure it’s consciously, on purpose.

The easier way is letting go, not doing. Letting go of beliefs, primarily that how you feel is caused by what other people think. Then, focus upon what you want is revealed to have been effortless all along... and it is seen that what you were focusing on, was what other their people think. Which didn’t jive with direct experience, because you never actually experienced it. That’s how ‘deep’ your beliefs are. That’s how much effortlessness stands to be uncovered. For God’s sake my good man, lay claim to your own life.

?

Well of course I believes it. That’s the whole game.

@Matt23 That she is your landlord isn’t relevant. But it is to you, which is why you led with it, and aren’t seeing why that’s triggering. Yet. I bet she doesn’t “rant”. Everything you’re feeling, namely, that you don’t want to continue or repeat feeling… are your perspectives about her. You are not feeling her perspectives about you. And the perspectives about her which aren’t resonating, aren’t resonating due to the underlying indirect beliefs about yourself. Make the distinction… if she or someone else physical harms or hurts you, then someone else is behind your being physically harmed or hurt. If someone else is not, the suffering is ‘in the lens’, amidst your own thoughts, perspectives & views, and there are beliefs about yourself to let go of. When this is missed, there is a false narrative that others should behave in a certain way to accommodate your beliefs or perspectives. To the extent you self-love, is the extent which you peacefully talk with anyone, un-rattled & appreciative of the conversation for what it is, and the person for who they are, as they are now - free of judgements, conditions & projections. They key is peace with who you are, as you are, now. Put another way, the truth is that there is nothing wrong with you. In a way, she might represent a yet-realization… that conceptualization doesn’t amount to much actuality of change in regard to changes you desire, both in your life & inner world harmony… but aligning thoughts / perspectives with feeling, changes everything. When people react to negative inner talk angrily by outwardly hurting someone else, this is easy for anyone to see, because it’s visual. When people react to negative inner talk angrily toward themself, this is not readily seen by most as it is empathically felt. The key point is these scenarios have the same root - thoughts about oneself which are not true and therefore feel, ‘not true’. In the analogous sense that when a sprinkler expresses sincerely, the expression is that of the water… when we express earnestly, the expression is that of Truth. It feels amazingly awesome to express honestly, to ‘come clean’ with ourselves. It illuminates our discordant beliefs and is simultaneously the action of relinquishing them. Expressing each emotion up the scale is a simple, fruitful way to go about this.

He didn’t actually comprehend what Deepok said.

@ivankiss Blue hasn’t considered this ‘separate selves’ situation. Orange firmly believes in the separate self, missing ‘it’ is self-defined by accumulation & self image, via self referential thinking, subject-object thinking & the belief in & thus identity of a ‘thinker of thoughts’. (Monkey mind) Yellow orientation… ‘why does this feel so unsatisfying’? (Leads to inspection of monkey mind). Turquoise is happy & joyful with or without accumulation & self image, for having gone through yellow, inspected, and seen through illusory nonsensical discordant thoughts. To orange (monkey mind) this (not believing thoughts) is a total mystery… so orange projects & pigeonholes, ‘that’s just how she is’, ‘wow she’s so nice’, ‘she’s so loving’, ‘she has such clarity’, ‘she has vision’, etc, etc. Which of course feels off, because orange is projecting the separate selves concept, onto turquoise. Which is what leads orange to yellow, and is why orange can’t hear this message via dualistic communication. So how is turquoise brought to orange? Literally by you being there. By reaction observing nonreaction. Trigger witnessing non-trigger. Thus orange can say ‘there’s something I’m missing here’. Orange see’s a ‘turquoise person’, whereas turquoise does not see an ‘orange person’, but more, orange thinking, actions & behaviors. And that is the profound Beauty of it all. ??

@Manusia It seems like you are feeling their actions of rejection, but you are feeling your perspective, arising of some unprocessed internalizations… which you are… rejecting. If you accept that sometimes people embrace someone or something, and sometimes people reject someone or something…then you become aware that you do the same thing… and then you are not ‘triggered’ or affected, because you understand & embrace this truth. In hindsight perhaps, you will feel more of the connective-delight for unknowingly having honored your preferences, and this will spill into your life as insights and more intuitively certain direction & guidance. Lot of truth and freedom in what @RobertZ shared. Reminded me of the old sales training advice in regard to rejection… “some will, some won’t - so what.”
