Well you might say it’s already ‘set up’ perfectly so that you don’t even need to remember or remind yourself. Feeling is always letting you know about how conditional the current perspective is. It’s there from the first day to the last, and you can’t even take it off if you tried, constant guidance we can abide in or even ignore if we choose. (But that ignore-ance is what suffering is ??) Also, there will be a subtle discord (suffering) in the conditional perspective that an activity such as video games is trivial. The indirect offset in mind would be that there are “BIG THINGS” in life which are not trivial. Feeling will remain unconditional, and there is a good chance you’ll misinterpret perspective & feeling in that regard, believing the not-so-good-feeling is ‘because you’re not good enough’, or ‘can’t do it’....rather than because you’re claiming it’s a “BIG DEAL”. Not harder, funnier, more interesting, more exciting, actual and invigorating......make a dreamboard.

Expressed what you really want in this life, such as onto a dreamboard? Profoundly, deeply, unabashedly - actually. It’s like if you thought you saw a mirror in your peripheral vision, but then upon closer inspection saw that it was really a window. It’d be hard to see it as a mirror again, since it wasn’t / isn’t. Same for the activity of the mind, and that which it actually is, or you might say understanding, and Being.

At the same time, that there is no backlash could actually be the backlash. Can be sneaky, never know.

That understanding may explain why. ?? A backlash without the comparison isn’t quite the same experience. Likewise, it’s actually hard to notice understanding you already understand. It ‘becomes’ the radar so to speak, and is no longer on the radar. Great work / devotion btw.

Because they haven’t inspected it, even though there is suffering. If it’s frightening, it’s not realization. Awareness.

@Bulgarianspirit Beliefs. Apparently. Disproving a belief = pretending it’s true.

Solipsism is a belief, like Santa clause. I say there is a Santa clause. Now, disapprove my belief. Ya can’t. Because it’s a belief to begin with. Why in the world would anyone believe such a belief? Fear.

Limit is never an object observed, but rather is within observation.

Becoming attentive to what one has been inattentive to, is miraculous. Everything changes.

What other people think & want, is what you think other people think & want. A valid occasion to tell people what they think & want never actually arises, but is a perpetual opportunity for peace & silence, listening & understanding, compassion & deeper knowing of Self, awareness of reaction. Recognizing a belief is enough. Consider the difference between a belief and the truth. The river is belief. The actuality of all rivers is the real-I-zation, your true nature. You are ‘the stuff’ rivers are ‘made of’. You are the getting swept away in them too. A no lose situation; ocean indeed appears to be rivers.

Mind says there is relative & absolute love, while the heart suffers the crusade. A worthwhile right of passage, the price of youth is. There is little else to do.

@Koeke How’s your life dream going?

@John Iverson That was great. Write it again, without any of what you don’t want. Only write what you do want. No extra words. This is not a petty exercise. This will show you a lot of about how you think.

@Red-White-Light Maybe the frustration isn’t spiritual, but resistance to open mindedness, practices, suggestions, and most importantly inspection of direct experience.

I agree, but conversationally ‘grow’ points to deficit if they’re still reactionary. You could explain that they are that which they are talking about, by explaining they haven’t actually experienced any of what they’re talking about. That they heard it from someone else, and believed it. Religion, is a belief. Actually finding out for oneself as you have is an entirely different conversation than one about beliefs. You could explain the nature of suffering, and the liberation of it. Not to convince them, not for their growth. Only if you want to.

That’d be fruitless, impossible and exhausting. Are there any other words you could use instead of Truth?

What other words might you pop into that statement instead of Truth?

@zeroISinfinity No wrong things, only wrong view. ZeroISinfinity: “God damn absolutist”.

@zeroISinfinity lol. No 5150 without Roth. Dig?

Congrats on the liberation from blue. Point rationality & conceptualizing to vision & practicality, bringing your most desired dream for this life into actuality, rather than pointing it at metaphysics and actuality. Look to direct experience & feeling for those instead. Crush orange you beast!

@bejapuskas Indeed you beautiful sob. @John Iverson We’re all in your corner buddy, rootin for ya.

@khalifa Godspeed man. If you can, notice well being is actual nowness, reality, here & now...and ‘well being’ or ‘baseline’ is only a thought about a past, and about feeling in a past. That’ll never lead to feeling better, because feeling is here now present, and you’re belief is that it is in a past. You are making that comparison between actual well being now, and a thought of well being, being a past, and missing that one is the actual well being now and one is a thought about well being in a past. So you’d be believing you’re making a comparison, but you’re actually not. The “comparison” doesn’t feel good because there’s no truth or actuality to it. You keep labeling that feeling, rather than listening to it and understanding it. Well being is the love which = now and = you. Each time you think it’s in a past...the very well being you’re talking about, which is present now, is ‘saying’ “uh, no sir. Right here loving you, literally being you”...and you might be misinterpreting that feeling, by continuing to believe your thought / perspective about a “past”...and a “you” in a “past”. In any case, when you are ready to, and actually begin choosing perspectives, those which feel good to you...you’ll inherently, by default, be ‘connecting with your source’, feeling well being now, and feeling better and better. You’ll see that how you’ve been feeling has to do with how you’ve been looking at what happened a year ago...not that it ‘left a mark’ and is the reason why. Same thing with 5meo and your trip. That’s only, quite literally - a thought. It’s completely gone. It was a relative experience which came and went. However, you default to it as the reason you feel the way you feel - now. That is not the reason you don’t feel so great now. You’re arriving at a perspective which does not resonate with feeling - and you’re believing the perspective anyways. You don’t have to do that. You don’t have the relative experience of that trip now, you have thoughts about it now. So how you feel has nothing to do with that experience. It has only to do with the thoughts about it, right now. You’ll need to find your way to realizing this, and changing your perspective in alignment with now, with feeling. Feeling is not in a past or future, and therefore feeling better, or better feeling, are not in a past or future. The more you repeat, assert & insist that feeling better is in a past or future, the more you suffer. The more you let those beliefs & perspectives go, the better you feel - cause feeling = now. Prior to that, and reinforced by that, are belief(s) about yourself which do not feel good & have never felt good. These beliefs and perspectives are never going to feel good or resonate with you. Notice, rather than understanding and recognizing this, you’re creating negative beliefs about yourself to compensate for your beliefs that you feel the way you do now, because of a trip and or events in your past. This is basic identifying with a past, identifying as a separate self in time. Most simply put - believing thoughts & suffering, instead of meditating daily. What is pertinent, is your perspective & attitude, & willingness to be open minded & let go of what doesn’t feel good to you. Noticing how things like complaining and then identifying yourself as a complainer doesn’t feel good. Change your perspective & outlook, by being on purpose with what you say, rather that just lazily ‘going with’ what doesn’t even feel good to you. Love ya man, Godspeed. Wishing you wonderful changes in what you’re creating.

@John Iverson Go ahead, here, right now...write 5 things you want. Can be anything. Refrain from writing anything that doesn’t feel good to you.

@VeganAwake Couldn’t have said it better. ?
