Sanity is well being.

@levani I mean beyond fasting, abs, attraction... your desires or dreams which inspire beyond the current difficult sacrificial phase.

@CBDinfused If there is anything prior to consciousness, then consciousness can’t be said to always exist, nor to need to exist. If there is nothing prior to consciousness, then consciousness can’t be said to always exist, nor to need to exist. If nothing is unstable, it is not nothing, it is unstable. If nothing is an empty vacuum of space, it is not nothing, it is an empty vacuum of space. If existence is as you say, illusory, then what is existence actually? What is the difference between ‘it’ is an illusion, and ‘I’ is an illusion? What is fear when it is not a self referential thought? If selflessness is calculable, who or what is calculator, calculating, calculation, and or calculated? When your current experience of reality ends... an unclaimed experience of reality begins.

@levani Putting fasting, losing weight, gaining weight aside for a minute. What is it you really want? Do you want to fast? Not really. Do you want to put on excess weight? Not really. Do you want to then have to lose the excess weight? Not really. What is it you do want?

@roopepa Obviously resonates quite a bit. Tight plan imo. I’d add singing, as you wont get too far without it. I’d change the intention & context a bit too. Everything you listed is made possible by feeling good / good feeling, by being goodness, which is to say simply being yourself. Good feeling has never come from a secondary source, and never will. Imo the change in context would be the aim to live the fullest life possible, unattached to outcomes, unidentified with what’s happening. Enjoy the beauty and wonder of the journey, without contingencies. Experience for the sake of experience, not what is produced or procured.

It’s very much like contact with ‘aliens’. ‘You’ disappears, and a mutual intention (pointing) takes care of the rest. It’s not something you can do, but it is something that happens without ‘you’, and is also appearance, same as the thoughts about it. But yes, totally ‘possible’, and does not seem outlandish once experienced, just like everything else it’s inevitably normal.

@Joshuas For a mystic, of course, there’s no mystic.

Moderation. The middle way.

And so are all the other thoughts.

‘Bottle of water’ is a thought, like ‘cup’, which is what the phrase ‘empty your cup’ points to. ‘Me’, in that usage, is a thought like ‘cup’. ‘Things’ is also a thought, like ‘object’. ‘Things’ is a thought. Perception is perception. There is no direct experience of ‘we perceive’. Sure ya can. Look at the water bottle, and find a separation between the bottle, the seeing of it, the seeing, and the awareness of seeing. Notice any ‘separation’ that arises, is a thought, and not a separation.

Connecting without expectations.

@Breakingthewall Eventually in the present moment. Yep. sounds perfect. ??

@Javfly33 Your consciousness is a belief too. That consciousness can appear, and have that thought or belief, is really impressive, to no one.

The enlightened ones stay at not knowing, and do not adopt beliefs, or supplement with assumptions of ‘proof’. There really aren’t enlightened ones, there is only the enlightened one. Perhaps there are beliefs to dispel. Know thy self. Careful to notice the thought of nothingness is empty. There is no nothingness to you.

ar•bi•tra•ry Determined by chance, whim, or impulse, and not by necessity, reason, or principle. Based on or subject to individual judgment or preference. Relating to a decision made by a court or legislature that lacks a grounding in law or fact. There’s no ‘you’ that was ‘born’. There are no conditions, but thought makes it so. What is aware of conditions is unconditional appearing as conditions. If there are separate objects, there is comparison & thought attachment. What is aware of these appears as these. ‘Why’ in this regard is a thought loop of beliefs, which will keep circling back to unconditional awareness relinquishing conditions and focusing on creating wanted. If you are not at peace with this, you may have stumbled into the creating of a life purpose, and thus the being at peace with this. “...when I’m feelin stuck and need a buck I don’t rely on luck...because the hook brings you back. I ain’t tellin you no lie - the hook brings ‘you’ back - on that ‘you’ can rely.” - John Popper, on self referential thinking.

@allislove ?‍♂️ ? ? Made it 47 minutes before abasement in a basement. “Stinkfist” got me. Lol. What a take on purification. Sophia Urista is just so Sophia Urista.

Indeed. Awareness of focus & feeling, and of the ‘clouds’ focused upon obscuring the sky (focus & feeling). Surely new subtlety and nuance will be noticed, new care in standards arises, like capitalizing letters at the beginning of sentences, adding periods, utilizing proper spacing, new feeling unsuppresed, uncovered, in the simplest of caring, we might say of actually giving a shit about your creating. There’s so so much to see! https://www.actualityofbeing.com/expressive-journaling @mandyjw My one thought focused upon right now is believing in you. Feels like a portal, or vortex of awesomeness.

Weirdest thing, but “woke up” this “morning” yet again apparently, splashed cold water on the face, went outside and didn’t know a damn thing out there. Breath taking whatever it is. Looking up, damn. So vast, infinity so beautiful. Thought could’ve arose, but I stopped thinking in the first hour of everyday many many years ago, allegedly. Now on treadmill, earbuds just killin it, just full on murdering feeling with this. Feels so good it’s god damn disgusting. Pretty sure I’m James Brown reincarnated. Or is he lol, not too sure really. Honestly I’d love to help, offer something, but I really don’t get the point of all the conceptualizations, re-conceptualizations, contextualizations and re-contextualizations, the justifications, the rationalizations, the narratives, etc, etc, gd etc. Wish you all the best with your levels and states. Godspeed. ?

@Rilles What’s one more advertisement for consciously creating.

@trenton Well if you weren’t so damn awesome these thoughts wouldn’t be all discord-ish. Good luck with not being awesome. All who’ve tried have failed.

Truth isn’t found in true beliefs or the right conditions. It’s absolute, unconditional. It ‘says’ only, come along, if you feel that’s what you want to do.

Direct experience my man. The path is that tricky.

@Pernani “The challenging feat of transcending my ego” is a thought. If it is noticed that is not found in sensation, nor can it be pointed to in perception, then it has already transpired. Careful not to create work to do where there is none. It’s as simple as others are not experiencing your goals, dreams, passions and experiences, they’re experiencing sight & sound, and their own meanings. They are experiencing their dreams, passions, and experiences, which will always be primary to them, just as yours are to you. Encourage them, rather than holding expectations over them, and you bring more passion to your own. Perhaps ‘we are in the same boat’, vs ‘why aren’t you finding my desires as important as I do?’.

“Sleep”.

You are ‘personal meaningful things’? There are two of you? The noticer and the noticed? “Things”? Perhaps what you’re actually sharing, is thoughts. Did you share the experience, or thoughts about the experience? Why would you expect someone to find your thoughts as important as you do? Why are thoughts important in the first place? A misunderstanding of what’s being shared, might be leading to a misunderstanding of their reaction, which might then be internalized as there reaction is about you, when really it’s about the thoughts you shared (but you kinda believe you’re not sharing thoughts, and are sharing yourself, and thus feel hurt). Sharing yourself... or goals, thoughts on experiences, ideas, and passions? How often to you receive, listen, ask, hear, about the goals, experiences, ideas, passions, of others, without injecting your own... without asking & listening really just being a means to sharing your thoughts? If you are sharing yourself - who / what are these two? Is there a direct experience of two of you? If you didn’t believe the thoughts (& goals, passion, ideas) are you... why would there be any reaction to what people think, of the thoughts you share? Perhaps their response is of recognizing this, but not pointing it out to you.
