@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.

@ShugendoRa Follow the breadcrumbs. Let thoughts which are not aligned -go. And that is the end of their apparent existence. Goodness naturally arises. It already was. Focus on an undesirable thought is already emotional suppression of reality.

@Shunyata Careful not to overlook the entirety of relativity. It’s an easy blunder.

@Into The Void Welcome to the forum, thanks for sharing.

@The Don The resistance is hiding in the details, which I suspect are still written off as semantics.
