Realizing there are no mistakes is inevitable. No. But thought could make it so. Generally speaking, in regard to inevitability & karma, take notice that you do not know what you’ll do, or what will happen next. This very moment, you’ve no idea whatsoever. There are thoughts, predictions, etc, but no knowing. Also notice how you feel has significant influence. The karma could be said to be an action didn’t resonate with your conscience, and to alleviate the discord, you apologized, made amends. This can be a ‘lesson’ or insight into reaction (animal) and response (creator), and a tempo which allows humility, and liberation from the wheel of karma.

@SamC What’s wrong with someone being a perfectionist? They should probably be more like you, or how you believe people should be, which is pretty blue. Blue is a bit ‘people should be a certain way, because that’s what I’m comfy with’. Orange is a return to individuality, all the one’s being uniquely the one’s, and loving & appreciating the variety.... since introspectively, this frees you to be you.

@spiritualryan Sit and relax, and take deep breaths. Do that until you feel a subtle shift, into a bit deeper relaxation. Then bring up each of these to mind (A & B), and ‘check in’, or really feel the abdomen area, feel how it’s responding... A) I am unconscious. I have panic attacks. I have social anxiety. Then take a moment to consider how those thoughts feel. Hone into the abdominal area and consider, if it feels great...it’s confirming that those thoughts about you are indeed true. If it feels not great, it’s saying those thoughts about you are not true. B) I am conscious. I am peace. I am loving. Then take a moment to feel how you feel.

@Topann The right conversation at the right time can change everything.

Very generally speaking, the identifying with the past keeps the pain active. The identity (and a past) never quite ‘fits’. Not to imply anything is easy, or hard, or justified, or not. This is just how it is, because of how boundlessly fucking beautiful, awesome and amazing you truly, truly are. Only love will do, and it’s abundant and free. Is all things, and flows in all directions. Give love. Love an ant, literally. Love the sky. Love the trees. Love the birds, their very song is for you to hear, to experience, to enjoy. They say “I love you” over and over, everyday, first thing. They’re on it. Listen, receive. Love anyone and anything you can muster up love to and for. Above all, love yourself. Be as willing as you can in receiving love. The universe is very literally ‘made of’ love, it showers you always, everywhere, unconditionally. Start small, feel the inner smile every morning, bring it through each day with you, further and further through the day with each passing day. See yourself with love. This can bring emotions up and out. There is no method for not ‘getting stuck in the thought stories’ of me, past, future, etc... but the sting, or burn, is the love. We must willingly meet love where it’s at, prior to the clouds which seem to veil, yet are always perfectly, clearly, felt. The rollercoaster settles a bit more each day, with each letting go, in equanimity. The combination of expressive journaling (an emptying) and understanding the emotions, is the ‘other than more thinking’ that I believe the intuition and heart are longing for. Most difficult perhaps, is the relinquishing of expectations... ‘that didn’t work’, ‘I already tried that’, ‘that’s not gonna work’. It can be challenging letting black and white go, moving into the actuality of grey, as there is no ‘fault’ in grey, only the innocence which ‘has been’ and ‘will always be’ ever present, or, this right now presence.

You’re ignoring your intuition. Stop stifling yourself so much when you’re feeling the true nature. Listen to it, so to speak.

@Inva Weird how we favor compassion, isn’t it? Well, then again, you might not know what that is.

I’ve been ‘there’ too. Rough as hell. I feel for ya. Chat with me today. Got nothing to lose. ?https://www.actualityofbeing.com/sessions-donations. If it’s presently unaffordable, there’s no charge, no problem. Talk with uniquely trained experts who also actually really do care... http://www.suicide.org/hotlines/international-suicide-hotlines.html https://www.opencounseling.com/suicide-hotlines http://www.suicide.org/international-suicide-hotlines.html There is a ‘bounce’. It can and will get better. The greatest, most fulfilling worthwhile lives are almost always preceded with a ‘bottoming out’ such as this. It can transmute to an amazing and beautiful liberation. 24 imo is very specifically the roughest age. You are loved my friend, and there is much love with you, for you and within you. It indeed feels ‘off’ to deny what is. Indeed, there is another way.

The inevitability isn’t the mistake, it’s the karma. Self referential thinking feels off because it is off. That you can think you is more of a belief, a hypothetical which isn’t actual. The discord felt ‘tells you’ this. ‘You’ can ‘push on’ and continue, and the discord will ‘get louder’, again, making alignment ‘with’ (as) the true nature ‘inevitable’. Wether that is ‘the best of both worlds’, or ‘during this lifetime’, or “otherwise” is what’s in question. To be, know, experience, the ‘best of both worlds’ inherently, inevitably, requires the actuality of the silence, or clarity, which is literally that which is appearing as the thoughts believed, aka monkey mind, thought attachment, or, self referential thinking (the belief ‘you’ can ‘think yourself’). Listen to the whisper, the body mind will thank you, so to speak. Focus on what you want to create & experience. It feels Good to pop these bubbles of beliefs. Feel the relief in the shift of orientation from “thinking about yourself”, to what you want, and understand the emotions being experienced. If interested in a method or practice of shifting from the ‘stoppage’ or ‘stuckness’ of self referential thoughts, spend a few minutes day improv writing and expressing. Making a dreamboard is a great, easy, effortless way to be more focused on what you want, than what you believe you need. Only in the focusing through the lens of need did you end up sending the pic. As a separate self that is regrettable and painful, as it jeopardizes happiness. As happiness (silence, clarity, true nature) you created that experience, just like you are now, and will apparently continue to ‘do’.

The proper way to deal with being in love, is loving being in love, imo. Might be some remnants of thought attachment (identity, identifying, trying to weave a new identity) playing out. Inspecting those thoughts on paper might help with ‘seeing’ that they’re just thoughts.

@Brandon Nankivell An illusion being something which seems like something it isn’t... the illusion in this case would be that there are, or could be, “enlightened humans”.

Awesome.

Save money now my ordering tissues by the case on Amazon. Keep eating clean. Make a dreamboard. Focus on what you want, instead of what you don’t. (This is thinking on your behalf, not others) Express, everyday. Express blame, but do not exhibit the behavior of blaming to or upon someone. Meditation for an hour every morning, and a half hour again every afternoon. Start with five minutes twice a day and increase incrementally, in accordance with the emptying of expressing, everyday. How these work in unison is only in directly experiencing, not in thinking about doing this. After a month or so of this, when you’re feeling way better daily... watch some movies where people get hurt, so you can see how you ‘mirror neuron’, or, feel as if how you feel were because of what you’re watching (the movie)... but pause the movie, and breath & relax, until you see that you are fine, and what’s happening in the movie isn’t happening to you. (Talking about pg, pg-13, of R rated movies here, not wild dark web kind).

@Charoverocd Is it possible to experience reaction and impulse, without reacting / following through with impulsive behavior and actions? If so, what would happen in such a case? If not, what prevents this from being so?

@acidgoofy Woah, woah, woah! Just gonna walk in and drop the nuke like that?! ??

Born is a belief. ... one appears as two; the sphere of the world, and the sphere of the lens by which to experience the world. Then one believes thought defines perception (monkey mind). You’re not a monkey though. A monkey can only react, and can not experience reaction, but not react (apparently). To stay in the impulsive reacting, sexually and any other, is to stay asleep in twoness. There are no males or females, no masculine or feminine. It only seems so identified as in the world. There is no reason to pop these beliefs.

Oh my dear friend, arrogance is no match for well being.

Excellent. A beacon shining through countless piles of utter nonsense. Beautiful.

Actually ‘can’t think the way to the thought detatchment / no mind’, and “Samadi 2: It’s not what you think” sound very similar. Almost exactly the same. No one is noticing the defending of no agenda nor appreciating the sermons. ??

@Loving Radiance Perfect.

? Beautiful. Now I gotta switch it to formless can not know form.

The illusion is that it’s yours. The rest is just appearass.

Yes, still a story.
