Right now there’s no influence of a past whatsoever. No residual carry over of any thought or belief of any kind. There is only peace and unconditional love abounding. It is always right now. Unconditional love, without condition....

Also....consider, when you say you want to create new thought....you might kinda mean you want as much clarity of mind as possible. Until it isn’t / doesn’t.....food choice, and the overall health and well being of the body play the biggest role.

If a thought arose...”I’m going to get a hamburger & fries”....I can ponder...”what is the opposite thought?”...”I want to eat a salad and a vegan protein shake”. Thought is dual, opposites. That’s the whole story on thought ‘picking’. That ’picking’ has a momentum to it...after ‘picking’ the healthier thought, well being abounds....insights arise....new ‘choices’ arise. That’s already a thought chosen. Seriously. If a thought wasn’t picked, nobody would know. When a thought doesn’t feel good, stop and ponder it’s good feeling opposite. Momentum builds with this, feeling and thought align. Beliefs and identity (limitation) get seen through. Not joking - I’d simply listen to Abraham Hicks all day. Don’t look at it like you’re “solving anything” though....just....changing the momentum. There is also no-mind to consider, that is, literally no thought. With practice this can be turned on and off at will. Meditation; focusing on breathing relaxed from the stomach, will lead to this. Throughout the day, ‘listen to the silence’. At any point in the day, just stop and listen to the silence. Even in a crowded room - hear the silence. Also, binaural tones on YouTube are designed for this. I heard listening to a constant tone takes the attention, when all attention is not on thought, it’s the same as there aren’t any. You can also shift to perception & feeling, with all attention, and thought just disappears. But this includes purification. One can not suppress emotion, and somehow quite the mind to this extent. Consider many (but I can’t say all) more extreme scenarios like OCD. I’ve talked to countless people “with OCD” only to discover it is extreme emotional suppression from a trauma (usually) which has been identified with, never inspected & released, and a doctor essentially (in innocence) prescribed / & write off the patient.

@Raptorsin7 A thought appears, indicative of reality, appearance. A thought is within awareness, indicative of appearance in Reality (Actual Reality / You). A thought is a thing, as in, it is relative, it is appearance, in it’s content. Notice as you read “green hippo”, a thought simply appears as such. A thought is not a thing, in the sense, the actuality of it, what it’s “made of”, is infinity. So it’s of course not literally the same one thought changing, but you could say it is I guess, the same infinity appearing to change, appearing as this thought then this other thought. But you are not appearance, you are Reality, Infinity ( & the appearance therefore) A ‘new thought’, is a ‘new to you thought’, an insight. Experientially, it’s in this order.... Source (one / unconditional love)...appears as twoness (thought / duality / opposites...diluted unconditional love)...and there is the experience of choice of thoughts, the quality of which is the momentum of the experience of choosing. So in short, don’t look to ‘create new thoughts’, you can’t. You are the arising thoughts. Look to undilute, via, momentum. You might ‘mantra’, whenever a thought arises....”that’s unconditional love”. The thought could arise, “murder everyone”...and you could choose it. Notice, given the thought is infinite being, how shockingly unconditional it is. Also, you wouldn’t choose that thought & action. But, with enough relative momentum...people do. There’s relative justice...but notice, in terms of unconditional love - not one single thing happens to them whatsoever. That is shockingly unconditionally loving - and the evidence if you will, that there isn’t anything else. So anyways, the love is the thoughts. ?

@Arcangelo ? I see whatcha did there. Nice. @lennart I’m sure it goes by many names, but I refer to it as the inspection work & purification. “Judging and insecurity is back”... - ....”A thought which doesn’t feel good, arises, now”. Negative thoughts really are just one single thought arising now, which doesn’t feel good. We learned to listen to the thoughts (conditioning)... then we unlearn conditioning, by ’listening’ to feeling. When a thought doesn’t feel good, inspect it via putting feeling first. The emotional scale is a great tool for this. The root of us all is Unconditional Love, and it is very much “alive”, infinite, and present, and will clean out any negative thoughts - if feeling is put first. (The alternative is ‘suffering’) There is also the ‘path’ of duality to nonduality. Look for the Twoness (me+other, me+world, me+”myself”) in each arising single thought, to see the mechanism of believing-thought-suffering. Judgement. - Judgement of another is inherently false (me+other), as with scrutiny of thought, perception, feeling...and the inseparable knowing of them...there is no duality. It then makes sense (sensation) why judgement is nonsensical. There is also self-judgement (me+myself). Such as: ”I get so angry at myself“. The exact same thing applies, as there aren’t two of you...an “ I “ and a “myself”. So this won’t resonate in Truth-Love either. I refer to that as self referential thought...thought about a “myself” which is actually only a thought (not an actual self). Insecurity. - Same thing going on. When ’run through’ either the dual - nondual filter, or the feeling first filter...it doesn’t hold up. Ultimately the key is inspecting until you realize - you created all “negativity” thoughts, and are continuing to do so - BUT YOU DON”T HAVE TO. The same is true for self-judgement, resulting in “insecurity”. Mixing perception, self referential thought, and suppressing feeling...you created a belief, an idea of you. When this is seen, you could continue to do so...but it would be equivalent to cutting your hand with a knife. You simple wouldn’t, because of how it feels, and because you’re aware you’re doing it. So it could be said the name of the game, so to speak, it realizing how you did it, and how / that you continue to do it. As you do, the infinite love of God will clean it all right out of the body (&mind). The body is always in “purification mode”, there’s no “on switch” (though the first five minutes of the movie Up are known to trigger non-resistance well). This is why some people feel hurried, in a rush, everything is a means to an end, etc. The body is purifying, thought is suppressing.

@lennart Yeah you could say it’s the end of all negativity, and also that there’s no enlightenment and there never was any negativity. It was always a thought rooted in innocence, never asserted. For anything to be “negative”...one has to be judging it...believing it’s not themself. Some even judge themselves, but their actually not, that’s also a thought, rooted in innocence. As in, one can not be the awareness of a thought, and the “me” content of a thought. (Self referential thinking). Hence the age old “Don’t eat from the tree of good & evil...but from the tree of life”. Life knows no duality. You might say “negativity” boils down to the actuality of “doesn’t feel good”. The “trick”...is realizing it is your thought which doesn’t feel good, not perception.

There’s an unspoken comparison to a “normal” which Is relative thinking. In the sense I think you’re referencing and inquiring, the world by & large is “sane” but if most “sane” directly experienced “insane” (in the breakthrough sense you’re referencing), they’d realize they had it backwards the whole time. @Keyhole Not saying I disagree...but everyone believed the world was flat, evolution, the earth was the center of the universe rather than each person, and that there are separate selves, etc, etc. Growing a toe back is a matter of manipulation of ‘the relative’, which is itself consciousness. I don’t have missing toe direct experience, but I also don’t see any reason it’s not entirely possible. It’s at least somewhat interesting that animals without egos (God) naturally ‘do’ it.

No idea really ? Maybe small manageable amounts at first, and then you’ll know. Thanks for the disclaimer by the way! lol @Raptorsin7 ♥️??

It’s all Good and all beautiful in my opinion. Catapillers and butterflies, so to speak. Keep buildin that cocoon. And when it feels timely, or natural, intriguing...continue inspection. It does ultimately all “resolve” / is One...but if enjoyment, loving the experience of now is lost, there’s no point. There’s some highs and lows, no doubt, but that is It as well.

Hilarious! ??

@ivankiss Indeed. “The tongue can’t taste itself”. ?? The “challenge” is not so much in seeing that it can be understood that way, but that it is being explained that way.

“Ime”, it very much is, and as such there is no duality, and this is why those who experience the absolute (linguistic duality sorry) have no issue whatsoever using the word ‘Absolute’.

@ivankiss Of course. Some guys like beer & football. Illusion is real, that’s why it’s not illusion. Nothing wrong with it.

@ivankiss You’re right on btw. A bit yet to fill in, but you’re spot on with The Light & the light. Genesis is the most beautiful explanation I’ve seen for it, though my gut says your book will be better, clearer, inspiring. I think you got the ‘decoder’ / third eye, enjoy...and of course, have compassion for ignorance. “Illusion” as you elude, is a. HUGE write off, typically contingent on an ego thinking the ego is ‘psychological’. “All the worlds - a stage”, is a helluva stage. The meta, between “knowledge” and Not Knowing.....balls of steal Ivan. ??...Good for you. ♥️ For what it’s worth (Nothing lol) just opinion....but there’d be much more clarity & insight on this meta, with Light, dark, light...then involving ‘absolute’ / consciousness. Just a thought for ya, that’s all.

Dualistic thinking is not the same as intuition & insights which arise from feeling, which arises of self-love. Try to notice the nuance difference between voluntary thinking aka ‘figuring out’...and the allowing, the natural arising. All me / not me, ego or not ego....it’s all voluntary thinking, One trying to resolve Two, when there aren’t two to begin with. None of that thinking is necessary. It is self referential voluntary thinking, and as you said, there’s no ‘doing’. You’ve recognized it conceptually, and are beginning to notice you’re still doing it, imo. Relax, never rush. Let the body release everyday. Siddhis and such are in this nuanced distinction of experience. As of course, is oodles of well being & self-love.

@Flowerfaeiry I get the sense you experienced ‘the flip’ from seeming to be your idea of you, to ‘actual you’ prior to thought & ideas...and are waffling in a limbo of that now...as you dream bigger than you have before, and are bravely pursuing your dream. As if you ‘touched the true self’ but can’t seem to move forward with your dream and “get it back” at the same time. Perhaps it feels like having a pretty solid idea of what you want, having all the ‘right’ intentions, and doing all the ‘right’ work, but an almost constant or at least too frequent back and forth-ness in the life experience. A sort of “I did the work, I know what I want - now where’s that great feeling...where’s source !?!” Ever notice the stark difference between “someone who has a dream in them”...and someone who is practical, materialist, serious, calculating, etc? Living is itself experientially completely different contingent upon this ‘dream within’. This is because life is actually literally a dream. Complete alignment as such, is literally living a dream. So many self beliefs & thoughts are shed, so many discord’s are aligned in this. Another way to describe this experience, if I’m in the ballpark of it, is in-between cultivating motivation (self referential thinking) and intrinsic inspiration (alignment, feeling, enjoyment, effortlessness). Depending on your connotations, it might be helpful to see this as a sort of karma purgatory stage on the path. A ‘tough down’ occurred, a ‘glimpse’,...but without understanding the next stage of karma purification, how to go about that stage, etc. Self referential thinking flys under the radar until there is acute awareness of how you’re perpetuating & recreating it, and then it ‘clicks’. Such thoughts (about you) are in discord with feeling (aligned you), and the discord kind of ‘burns up our energy’ so to speak. When it is ‘seen’, there’s some purification, and a tendency to focus more intensely on thought stories & self referential thinking (thoughts about past, future, and ‘self’) as a sort of last ditch backlash. If this is not resonating, just skip it. If it is, have a look...might be helpful / useful....??... Since you have only ever experienced being One (never Two)...the thought story “I’ve been fighting myself” no longer makes sense. Feeling tells us this, with the feeling of being in discord. Often, people mistake this feeling, for confirmation that a thought about them is true...and that is what they’re “fighting”. Unfortunately, this is how the guilt & shame are created. When it is realized the feeling does not feel good, because it’s message is “that thought about you is not true”...then there is alignment, and self referential thinking begins to taper off, and emptiness / no mind / clarity ‘arises’. Not to mention lots of amazing, very spacious and ‘blissout’ feelings. Likewise, “I haven’t been doing the things I know I need to be doing”...this thought is about an idea of you, an idea of a past, and specifically an idea of a separate self, separate of some other being or entity or authority which is being used under the radar as a measuring stick to compare yourself to. The thought also implies a ‘future’ as the ground for what you “need to be doing” now. This is the ‘thin veneer’, or ‘the paper thin veil’ which “robs” us of the pure joy, and power, of Now. Further...”It’s not good to push myself”. Sounds harmless & probably like I’m being semantical, but these thoughts are the energy and awesome emotion zappers. They tend to repeat all day and take up precious space of clarity, ease, and the intrinsic guidance of intuition. They also have an undesirable effect on relationships, and potential relationships, as one is living as if there are three in the relationship....actual you, the idea of you, and your partner. (Four, if the partner is doing the same thing). It makes for all kinds of confusion and emotional rollercoastering. “Then, I spend lots of time mad at myself”. I hear you & I get it. However, what is yet to be noticed is this is a thought story, about a “self”. You are not an idea of you. How can you actually be mad at “yourself”, when you literally are the very same One getting mad? Feeling is saying “nope...no...I am right here.....I am not what that thought is about. I just love unconditionally, so these conditions will never feel aligned.”

Yep. You’re definitely onto something. There’s a whole meta-how goin on. Absolutely loving the sharing man. ??

@ivankiss One way to point to ‘the magic’ of it, is that there is no causation, mechanism, difference, etc.

@mandyjw We’re a perfectly stubborn God indeed.

@Identity ??

I don’t think she’s closed minded at all. You can ask her. Give her a link to the website. She will not entertain it.

She never did the inspection work and still perpetuates “an ego”. It’s a simple belief really. Love to chat with her. She won’t though. See? Wild, no? That is the belief. It’s just un inspected self referential thinking. I find this to be very common at yoga places. Usually (forum wise) the ‘head’ awakens, and so there is much talk about awakening the ‘body’. At yoga studios, there is most often the reverse, yet no one there but the same ‘birds of a feather’. Yes. It’s the “trap” of how amazingly delightful it feels upon awakening the body...no acknowledgement of the ox at all. ??‍♂️ Often in such environments, there is a frowning upon psychedelics, void of the inspection work as to why they feel that way. They feel that way because they’re doing the same thing, just with yoga after yoga after yoga after yoga. (trip...no inspection work...”ego returns”...trip...no inspection work...”ego returns”...)

Is it? Did you? Is something “wrong”? Do you? Why?

@QandC Do you find a distinct separation between you and perception ? Where does perception end, and the knowing of begin? Where does the knowing end, and perception begin? Don’t just think about it conceptually, look now in direct experience. What is “sound” but vibration? What is an “ear”, but vibration? What is a “tree” but vibration? What is a “thought” but vibration? What is “reality” but vibration? What is vibrating? Clearly, you, as you can not be found. Unless you believe the vibration (“thought”)... “I’m separate...non-vibration, ‘physical’, apart from the rest”. Such is the tree, which falls in the woods.

@Preety_India Sounds like a sitcom... “God & his psychologist Ralph”.
