@WellbeingSeeker You’re saying nothing causes...I’m saying that is nothing. You might be thinking you are a mechanical mechanism, like a combustion engine, and therefore asking about some thing mechanical, something of causes and effects. But you are nothing. Happiness can never be made to be happy, and satisfaction can never be made to be satisfied. Nothing is already happiness & satisfaction. Nothing believes it is some thing, but nothing is nothing. I would see that teacher was nothing, knowing...and presume they would then go on to explain nothing is how the engine works.

@WellbeingSeeker I don’t mean anything, so there’s nothing to understand. Understanding is also nothing. There is no cause and no effect regarding the inquiry of this thread. Try looking at one of the videos posted and considering, “oh. That’s nothing.” Nothing is actually happening. No explanation could fit, though no explanation is needed either.

@WellbeingSeeker Knowing = Nothing. That’s how. It’s a completely satisfying answer.

@WellbeingSeeker You asked what causes them. I told you. Nothing.

If your interested, if you want to ‘play along’ for your well being sake....start at the top of this thread and read it slowly. See if you can notice the ignoring of all attempts to focus on even the tiniest of things you could do to feel better....and the asserting that the focus stay on what does not feel good to you. See if you are able to connect the dots, and realize even if only a bit, that is what you are labeling “chronic anxiety”. If you can see that...how do you think you’d feel if you focused on and expressed even the tiniest most minuscule comment, thought or notion - of what you want?

@WellbeingSeeker What causes them? Nothing. Is a book a story, or a book?

@Eren Eeager Awesome. I firmly believe that you will. What about something that is not a thought about you though. What would be the smallest, least stressful, simplest, easiest step you could take toward that vision? One tiny step, one little thing you could do today - and then feel good about having done..? Let’s aim to discover momentum here with this convo...rather than even considering how much momentum, or what the change will bring, etc. If you’re interested in this suggested way, or course of going about it.

@Eren Eeager Sorry to hear that. Honestly I don’t sense anything wrong with you at all, but I digress. Maybe we could shoot for just one then. One thing you want to transpire, have, be, or experience in this life...?

@Eren Eeager Short & simple...what are three things you want to transpire & experience in this lifetime?

@allislove Me too, and you too! ?? ♥️

No.

The price of admission, or cost of creation creating, is forgetting ‘who you really are’. As such there seems to be fear, uncertainty, etc. In spite of those misunderstandings of self, reality, and emotion...expressing desire, inspecting self & world, and self discovering.

There isn’t. There isn’t.

You.

@ItsNick It’s not so much connected but the same as her experience of the self.

@Elisabeth Yes! You are infinitely unconditional loved! Motivation has a motive, inspiration is simply to be in spirit, and spirit is love, and you are this love.

@Jay Ray Nice. Apply same realization to ‘your person’.

The experiential difference appears to be “self” referential thinking...thoughts about a self which isn’t a self, but rather an idea of a self, firmly believed to actually be a self. A simpler general way of saying that is identification with thoughts. His example of being in the shower thinking about winning a past debate is exemplary of believing the thoughts that there is a past and a him and a them, whereas she’d just be taking a shower, not thinking thoughts about a “self”, as the self is showering. Then of course there is no mind, no thoughts, as there is no one in a shower. In all cases there is no ‘inner monologue’. That’d be an example of a “self” referential thought. (There is not any actuality of that self).

Love can rewire ‘your’ entire brain and change how you experience ourself for the apparent duration. This is already the direction & actuality of all science.

It relates in that ‘people and their suffering’, ‘other peoples suffering’, ‘feeling what they feel’, ‘love them’ and ‘their baggage’ can be inspected and realized to be beliefs, your suffering, without a a justifiable or supporting actuality. The full circle is such that of course that comment has the potential to come across as down right offensive, or void of compassion, but that is the beginning of transcending suffering that one might assist another in the same endeavor. Perhaps spend some time reading on the nature of pain vs suffering. @latina25 ??

@Jay Ray Suffering is a misunderstanding. Compassion is visceral understanding, intelligence, knowing, feeling, the ‘fabric of reality’. Nothing,

@Rdj Where are you headed, what is in your future in terms of deduction of your present trajectory / direction? What don’t you want about what comes to mind in that? And much more importantly...what does that bring to the light which you do you want...in your future, in your life experience? Slow & steady wins the race. A single thought towards wanted, infused with youness...wanted is already unfolding. Good feeling is already the case. Resonate? Make any sense?

@kindayellow You have so much to offer. ”It’s a lie to think you’re not good enough...it’s a lie to think you’re not worth anything!!!”

@soos_mite_ah Start a company which employees at least ten people, and helps their families to eat, have medical & dental coverage, a retirement plan, etc. Also, construct the company in such a way that they are unlimited in terms of how much money they can make, and how many other families in kind they can assist. Alternatively, recognize arrogance, fear, and projection, then invent the next new ‘better than capitalism’. I’m all for that. I predict the inevitable outcome to be that of you no longer demonizing yourself.

@quan Nice. Great name btw. Get on down to prior to the act, depiction or behavior...to the supposition of the notion.
