Love & hate.

@cetus Yep. Makes perfect sense.

Itlessness.

Yes. Yes. That you are productive with the other hours, as they likely will not understand.

Nothing’s wrong with you.

@electroBeam Help somebody.

@EmptyVase So ‘direct’ indeed, that thoughts like dualities, meditative truths, a subconscious, a body, a human, an earth, ordinary stuff, etc could almost be mistaken for actual things.

@TripleFly It gets far simpler still.

The stress and demands are not of the job or work. There is no job, work, stress, or demands, outside of your defining of them. Indeed, that is they key...to realize that is the only ‘place’ this is transpiring. There is no causation, ‘it’, you, is one whole experience. Look for the instances where a ‘that’ caused a ‘you’ the metal/emotional exhaustion & suffering...and deconstruct that experience every time it occurs. Inspect more nuance, with more acuity, to reveal to yourself it is all emanating from you / that there is no actual causation. Lovely yes, but careful to inspect that too. Would not want too much of a pattern to build there. Balance it out with the opposite. Bring time to standing still right before your eyes while ‘at work’. In many ways, that is the path to transcending the paradigm of ‘work’ vs ‘not work’, discovering ever-presence-unconditional, liberating oneself in terms of mental scope to many financial opportunities beyond the trading of time for money. One way to point to this...instead of desiring the quicker passing of time, keep a piece of paper and pen in your pocket...and dial into time, the miracle & infinite intelligence of now, and manifest your dream financial situation around you. Attract mindfully, rather than categorizing chunks of time as ‘work’ vs ‘not work’...always creating. Indeed. It is manifest-retardant. Not in the head, imo, in ‘reality’! In feeling ever present love, and wandering in this impossible perception. You’re never really ‘at work’, you’re in the mind of God - “at work”. The otherwise seemingly mundane, realized, can bring you to the ground anywhere. I realize it’s not quite fitting and aligning because I am lighthearted in truth, and laughter is the best medicine. Then I am loving and wishing well what I previously judged (took for granted / looked right past / didn’t even notice ‘who’ it really was). For the ‘overly invested’ / ‘overthinking’...more thinking won’t do, investing in anything thing won’t do. The breath, perception, feeling...letting thought and or focus upon it truly ‘go’. In true presence you might say, nothing was ever needed, and so that illustrates the ‘return’ to ‘it’. Indeed. Empathy is critical and necessary on many many levels. Empathy also doesn’t exist in so far as can be thought / conceptualized. Notice the reverse of the orientation of your question...what it points to.

@Shunyata Great thread topic / question. I’d say yes, and even to the degree it can learn how it is the perpetuation of the illusion of it’s own existence.

@Everlasting Goodness A thousand times, yes! Very relatable! I think we have quite similar paths, experiencing, views and ways of interpreting. Yes, you could say I’m into Reiki for sure. These days there’s that, and then whatever’s else seems to be going on. Meditation & awakening is what led to taking the classes. Experiencing love/reality with like minds seemed the next obvious step. Can’t even say I thought about it to be honest, it was just clearly what is happening. It was the first time I experienced siddhis, past lives, visual 4d communications of infinite mind & attunements. As far as recommendations, Reiki does have an underlying attuning system broken down in four levels, so I’d find a certified Master Reiki Practitioner / teacher, or someone with similar experience & understanding. I know it’s difficult presently, but in hindsight with what was discovered I would recommend taking the time to go wherever a solid teacher and offering of classes is, even if that means planning it further off into the future to accommodate. It stands to be a life changing experience for some, so traveling & planning around it is relatively highly worthwhile. For you, I think the learning aspects would be basic and a breeze, and the ‘hands on’ aspects would be this same expansive and mind blowing love known, perhaps with new dimensions, wonders and just generally speaking more of this ♥️ ?

@Everlasting Goodness Indeed. Really beautiful stuff. Tried Reiki classes by any chance?

@electroBeam Awesome to hear. Lol, it is a bit obnoxious but damned if it doesn’t work. I would argue that particular tragedy feeling isn’t the feeling, and that the feeling is politely whispering that the only real tragedy is missing the actuality of what is / ‘now’... to any concerns of things that never happened.

@mandyjw Yes. Just go full on reverse. It’ll all work out. Can’t fail. Lol.

@arlin No worries Jim. ??

Don’t be a Cameron, tryin to record everything.

@arlin Would you rather actually be separate from everything else, or not be separate at all, but under the spell of ignorance (the false understanding / beliefs) that there is separation, and you are separate? One thought that comes to mind is, it is not possible that I am not separate, because that means ‘Jim’ is me, and I would never in a million years do what ‘Jim’ did. But maybe ‘Jim’s’ ignorance is being underestimated.

@arlin Please don’t identify with this comment. I’m referring to the experience of thought & emotion, not talking about you... Would you rather experience separation, or ignorance?

To arrive at even a seemingly simple statement as that requires believing in separation, subject object, choice, meaning, and meaninglessness. Perhaps “depressed” is more of a response to a thought which is in discord, than it is a thing a that could make a you.

@trenton You don’t have potential. That misunderstanding could keep one up at night. The pressure of it, etc. It feels false because it is false. You are more literally what potential is. Thinking it’s something you have, using it to pretend that how you feel isn’t because of how your thinking, is never going to resonate. The other side of that wall is a thought. The actuality is that it is the infinite potentiality that you are which is appearing as a wall, as this whole place. When you claim, by the thinking, “my potential”...it doesn’t resonate with the very heart of you. That potentiality loves the bejesus outta you - while you’re using it as a means of justifying perspectives about the world and yourself, that you don’t even like. Things like pressure, expectations...they’re all false. Stuff you’re making up, minute to minute, which isn’t resonating. Again, this is because that heart of you quite literally is that potentiality, that potential ‘you’ are claiming as “yours”, is you. There is not “you and your potential”, there is infinite potentiality which is you, and is appearing as you & world. When you feel anxiety, take a minute to form the thought or perspective, verbalize it, and write it down. Then write the opposite, much better feeling perspective. Then pick one on purpose...not because of a story about yourself, but because of how it feels right now. Let the feeling be enough. Be the free potentiality that you are. Play with it, want and watch it unfold. Stop claiming it. In doing so, you split a surface from an ocean of consciousness. Make a dreamboard. Write what you’d like potentiality to unfold as, or materialize as. Then let go of so much thinking, and ‘shift awareness’ to seeing, hearing, feeling & breathing, as you watch, by some inexplicable miracle, what you wrote, what you want, appear. You’ll soon be reminiscing and laughing of the day you thought you were the doer, the thinker, the mover, and believed in all that pressure, etc. It is true...”They never add up anyway”. Rides are for fun. Nobody ever really gets anywhere. It never “all adds up”, because it’s potentiality.

I once made up words but had no one to explain this to. Wasn’t concerning really, as days keep happening.

From daily meditation a ‘spaciousness’ is realized which reveals our previous state of consciousness was: -Awarenessthoughts- With daily meditation our state of consciousness becomes more: - Awareness thoughts- From that ‘spaciousness’ ‘inbetween’ (where all the ruminating used to be) comes clarity, insights, epiphanies, equanimity, joy, love, etc. It begins to be realized we defined ourself with thoughts, ‘attaching’ to them, via me, my, mine, I, etc, and we are liberated from the prison of the mind, and any suffering therein. From there the sky’s really the limit on states of consciousness. It can be helpful to consider that though you firmly believe that Everything is 100% of experience...it’s actually 50%. The other 50% is Nothing, which is known through meditation. 50% of experience that you have yet to discover, but which has been present all along, while much thinking activity has occurred about yourself, others, a past and or future.

@Nate0068 Thought attachment. Meditate every morning.

@Loving Radiance If the question is specific to how you are attracting, can you state it as clearly as possible, without attracting for other people?
