How would you imagine life to be, without that belief?

@GodDesireOnlyLove Love is infallible af. @Preety_India I was just attempting to contemplate your actual, true beauty, but I’ll admit, I could not let thinking go. One thought really. This one thought, just kept looping over, and over, and over. So I gave up honestly ?‍♂️. Sometimes it’s just easier to express the thought and be done with it. “You gotta see this”. Which reminded me of this.

What about ‘dealing’ more directly with what’s going on in thought & feeling, rather than focusing on balancing the symptoms & label? I’m speaking from bias here by the way. Had I not done that very inspection and just abided in the label of “manic depressive”, I’d be “manic depressive” to his vary day. Sometimes doctors label things they don’t know about themselves, as if something were wrong with people. I’m not a dr obviously, so take this with a pound of salt. ?? Often we judge thinking as “negative thinking”, but it’s the feeling that doesn’t feel good. There’s usually a change then to positive psychology, motivation, and perhaps diagnosis & pills, usually helpful. Then that doesn’t ultimately satisfy, and so we begin letting thought attachment go and discovering truth, which is to say, listening to the feeling like we should have in the first place. Meditation is the medi-way, the middle way, “between you and source”. It’s hard to believe, so don’t bother - but no pill, person, thinking or activity can supplement the flow of source. Connecting, ‘tapping into’ source, is unthinkably orders of magnitude more intrinsically efficient & transcendent yet inclusive of psychology and physiology, and is the very source of everything you are wanting; clarity, focus, power, happiness, joy, love, desire, etc. Give up stories in meditation. Or don’t, honestly. It’s all the same at the end of the day. Do what most feels aligned for you. ??

Going perfectly. ?

Alignment is solo or delusional.

@electroBeam That’s like brushing a mirror. ?

@WhatAWondefulWorld Ya? Where / when would you go?

Yes contemplation can bring any answer to the surface. Key is fully letting the question go, and feeling good. I’d say yes to all of the above practices, try all of them, to the extent you genuinely want to. Not to ‘kill it’ for ‘gainz’ so to speak. The whole thing’s about presence, mindfulness, letting go. Careful not to miss any of that in the “doing” of the “practices”. “Slow & steady wins the race”. Nobody’s ever really “moving”, so, it’s always safe to surrender, relax, some ‘witness mode’ maybe. Breaking open the crown chakra is kind of a backwards understanding. We tend to go to thinking about it, and associating it with the head & higher consciousness, on the forehead specifically, but that’s like thinking the water is only of the facet, without acknowledging all the pluming pipes bringing the water to it. The body is infinite intelligence. In terms of purification, feel emotion / energy in the body, Moving in a wavelike feeling, from your feet all the way up through the body and straight up out of the top of the head. Take a deep stomach breathe in while feeling the body ‘gathering up all the energy to be released’, hold it for a few seconds, and then blow the breathe out, and feel it all go up and out the crown. When letting go, releasing, purification....there is very strictly not thought involved. Put awareness to seeing, hearing, breathing, relaxing, feeling. You’ll be sitting front row to the ‘how sneaky you actually are’ matinee. You’ll trick yourself right out of purification with thinking & involving other people probably three to four hundred times, but be steadfast nonetheless, a point will come where you don’t get tricked by it. ? vs ?

@Peo What are you meaning when you say healing powers and cool powers, more specifically?

@DLH Misunderstanding occurs in thinking. Love & compassion can’t be thought. That’s why there’s the path, etc. There is no separate self which could use or misuse love & compassion, there is only the perspective of absolute. What is said to be unconscious cant be said to be influencing. “Limited human point of view” is not perception, it’s a belief.

@TheGreekSeeker Unconditionally.

@TheGreekSeeker Yep.

@DLH Love & compassion can’t be misunderstood or misused.

@DLH Nice introspection, & no worries. Just remember it’s a dream & he doesn’t exist.

@Galyna ?♥️

@DLH Moderating, there’s always a consideration of the guidelines, and then making a call. It’s not a science. I read the thread three times before assigning the warning, and again just now. Imo, it’s trolling, and that is prohibited in the guidelines. I do however, feel you are being honest in that you don’t see it. I already offered an explanation, and you can look into trolling more by googling it if you’re interested. If you want my two cents on where you’re stuck, I’m happy to help. By “two cents”, I don’t mean a superior perspective or understanding, I mean some misc guy’s opinion, which may or may not be heard, and may or may not be useful.

Your thread appears like trolling to me, but I want to give you the benefit of the doubt. You mentioned your ability to discriminate thought is inferior, and yet the books sited can help realization beyond the ‘basic’ realizations you listed. Please share what it is you’re eluding to but haven’t mentioned. Otherwise this thread is a clear attempt of trolling. Thanks.

@fridjonk uh oh. I hadn’t considered that.

It’s this!

“People” is a thought. The love that you are. “Anyone else” is a thought. Meditation is for detaching from thought.

@Galyna That is so great to hear!!!? ????

@electroBeam The ‘all you need is love’ synchronicity’s a bit thick, no? We all ‘sing a bit out of tune’ sometimes. But we don’t ‘stand up and walk out’ on eachother. My man Billy F’n Shears.

Recognizing one’s arrogance. Which means forgiving oneself for one’s ignore-ance, one’s own self denial.
