I think there is some confusion. I’m not sure being homeless would be helpful.

@Someone here Well, what’s ‘the finite mind’?

@Someone here It might sound odd at first but one can get so lost in conception one misses the actuality of it, infinite creation. “The first time you feel it, it might make you sad, the next time you feel it, it might make you mad, but you’ll be glad baby when you’ve found, that’s the power makes the world go round.” - Huey Lewis & The Message @VeganAwake Well said not God. ??

Anger = I’m not feeling. F that. (Fear) Sit and feel into it, rather than weave a story, or another into it, and it disappears every single time. Love never fails. “I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder, as I’m gettin older y’all people gets colder. Most of us only care about money makin, selfishness got us followin the wrong direction. Wrong information always shown by the media, negative images is the main criteria, infecting young minds faster than bacteria - kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema. What ever happened to the values of humanity? What ever happened to the fairness in equality? Instead of spreading glove we’re spreading animosity, lack of understanding leading us away from unity. That’s the reason why sometimes I’m feelin under! That’s the reason why sometimes I’m feelin down! It’s no wonder why sometimes I’m feelin under - gotta keep the faith alive till love is found. Where is the love?!” A band named indicative of that message, The Black Eyed Peas. The black eye is already here. At least get the peas of it.

Ya buuuuuut.....what if it’s literally actually true that there’s no you? In that case, “you’d” be telling infinity (yourself) what it can’t give an apparent ‘you’ (itself), and missing the Message of the intuition and suffering. “You” would be attracting precisely that. “This stuff” could not be more about, more intrinsically, more indicative of, ‘your life’. “It” is only bypassing if “it” is utilized as such.

? I love ya and wish ya the best.

Someone who believes they are not worthy compensates for that suffering by judging, measuring & comparing themself to others. It’s monkey mind, rumination, trying to ‘fix’ the feeling without addressing the belief. But they miss they aren’t actually comparing themself, only the idea of themself. It does not feel true because it is not true, and feels like suffering because of the discord with The Truth, until the belief in “worthy” and “unworthy” is inspected, transcended & intrinsically surrendered. Yes. Yes. Meditation every morning. It was realized attachment to thought was the issue, not to ‘things’ per se. “Worthy & unworthy” are thoughts I identified with, limiting beliefs. No mind isn’t per se a mindset. Mindset is like ice cubes, no mind is water.

Leave everything to persue love? What if love is everything?

I agree. Yet, only up to the point where the infinity you speak of is direct experience. Then, it is most definitely not all relative, baby.

No, it’s entirely the opposite direction if you will. Your perspective there is solipsistic. One only thought one loved a wife because there is only love.

@Someone here Can’t really analyze nonsense.

Care to elaborate?

Without the thought narrative of a myself, the clear sky is ever present. The narrative is the clouds. What are the clouds, the beliefs, the barriers?

@wk197 Great to hear you’re meditating! When thoughts arise like “negative feeling”, feel instead.

@SirVladimir Absolutely nailed it man. Wonderful share. ??

Much love ?? There could come a moment when you indeed realize you failed and it ended. But you would soon enough laugh at the thought, and think something else, which is the inherent evidence you didn’t fail, and it didn’t end. This would be like driving ten miles and calling it a failure and an end...while missing you’re still driving the car. I would argue that there is no infinite line, only infinite humor.

You don’t have to think, act, or speak, like other people. At all. Let listening to your heart sort out some fundamental perspectives and patterns of thinking you learned from others, that might be micro, but aren’t serving you none the less. Watch out for moments of ‘trying to be understood’ / expecting other people to ‘come along’ with your new perspectives, and feel the being at peace, of undertaking your own unique journey, your way . Have compassion & understanding for them, especially those closest to you, rather than losing your head over it. Not everyone is going to ride the cusp of their own callings and expansion. Be mindful you don’t need them to, nor to understand that you are.

@Javfly33 Beautiful. It is wild. The truth is just too good to be true. Yet here we are. ?

@wk197 When resistant thoughts arise, resistant as in ‘doesn’t feel good to you’ - let them go. No need to change really. With so much to let go of, the change you desire will be the natural outcome of letting go.

@preventingdiabetes ??

What you actually want.

@B_HAZ Could help with understanding, healing, closure. Also she might deny it, which might sting a bit. So, it’s hard to say. You’ve got to feel that out and choose for yourself. If you do, and she does initially deny it...try not to be too reactionary. Give it time for her potential shock and reactions to process. It might ‘open the door’ to talking in a few days.

Yesterday I was playing with my kids, and I asked them what it was like when they were born. They both drew a blank. I asked if they’d ever thought about how weird it is that they don’t remember being born, as in, there’s a ‘gap’ as to their own ‘beginning’. They did think this was weird. I pointed out, how when they were born, having no idea what’s going on in this place, we take care of them while they’re learning the place and figuring things out. Then I explained, that mom and dad are in that same boat, that we too were born with no clue of what the hell is really going on...and that everyone here was born into here and also doesn’t remember how they actually got here, so literally no one on the planet really knows what the hell is going on at all. But, there’s no ‘stop’ or ‘pause’ nor ‘rewind’ button, so we’re all just in ‘play’ mode and figuring stuff out together as we go. They thought this was hysterical for some reason. I mentioned that it’s really important, no matter what they face, to keep an open mind that we all chose this. Knowing we will not know a damn thing, be totally vulnerable, and that it’s a total crap shoot ‘who’ you’re gonna be, entirely random, and completely unfair, still, we all chose this. My son (10) said “that doesn’t sound legit. If I chose, I’d have picked to be the fastest kid in my class”. My daughter (9) went into a deep contemplative / staring into the wall state. Then she told her brother “it’s because who we really are is love. From love’s perspective, love just loves you whoever you are. Love don’t really care if you’re the fastest or not”. Through meditation, and expression, you’ll discover anger, anxiety, and hopelessness, are all literally love, being labeled. If you label feeling, you are ‘thinking feeling’, which is not actually possible. If you don’t label feeling, and just, feel, all the labels are coming up and out. Many, we’re identified with, even though they didn’t feel good. They’re not gonna feel great coming up & out either, but you will feel amazing lasting relief after they do. The key, is not ‘falling’ for the ‘thought story’, (which you were kicking ass on btw)....until you fell for the thought story about getting lost in thoughts and feeling being anger, anxiety, and hopelessness. Those are thinking, perspectives, labels upon feeling - and we can not think feeling. By labelling, you create distinctions & define the experience, and ‘separate yourself’ from feeling. By believing the thought story, the feeling is suppressed a little bit. That suppressed feeling keeps the mind ruminating, as it has to keep up with all the labelling. It’s a lot to keep track of, a lot of effort & energy. Express feeling. Be a partner in the up & out of it. Write, draw, paint, sing, carve, ...anything you like. Expression is healing. A flower doesn’t label itself in anyway, it just blooms, and the flower does not suffer. It is in no way against itself, and it has no purpose, it is just beautiful for no one. Imo, you should be incredibly excited about the path. You will inevitably self realize, and know unequivocally that there is no randomness to who you are, that it is completely fair, and that you’d choose it again and again. The ‘traps of the mind’ are all arising from you, without exception. You learned em from this place innocently. How else could it be? Infinite can not know finite. Also, you don’t have to keep believing them, and as you don’t, feeling cleans you right out proper. Rather than there being something to escape, there is awareness creating, was all along...and you’re already making this place better, counterintuitively, just from letting go of what does not resonate with you. (It’s likely not going to resonate for the next ‘forgetter’ either). From what you said about mushrooms....I’d relabel them ‘letting go medicine’.

@nahtanoj What a great read and writer. Thanks for sharing. Very insight-full. It brought this jem to mind... “If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” - Corinthians
