Relative to your op, it's a trap.

Indeed, it goes deeper. Happiness is a delightful trap though. Couldn’t blame anyone for hanging their hat there.

@LfcCharlie4 Oh you’re fully aware of it alright. And the thought...”transmissions”. Love is none other than the silence you speak of. One everlasting transmissionless “transmission”. You’ve “Seen it yourself”...along with someone else taking credit for it. Gots to mind our sneakiness. That’ll be two fifty please, there’s a link below, just go to the donation page, thanks. ?

Yes, this is much more thinking than is necessary. Write down a list of what you don’t want. Then write the opposite next to it, literally ...”What I want is________”. Write that stuff on your dream board so it is front and center. The overthinking will naturally digress and more feeling will arise. That’s still what you previously mentioned...the past...which is actually just arising thought now, about a past. Nothing is stopping you from focusing on what you want. And when life kicks you in the ass, still, nothing is stopping you from what you want. Just do the same thing, list what you now know you don’t want, and then what you now know you do want. This is self referential thinking. Not thought about you is true, as you are the awareness of the thought already. Read about investing. Google “how to feel comfortable about investing”. Think “you are a certain way”...is a trap. The identifying with thought (of past), trap. Feeling is telling you to let those thoughts go - they don’t feel good. But feeling is being labeled “depression”. Thoughts are being judged “depressive thoughts”. The “write off” being used, is “Procrastination”. Notice the usage of it... “In my case”. Identification with the past is being justified by identifying with it. Those thoughts about the past are not the past. Choose a thought about what you actually do want, rather than continuing to think about “yourself”. This would be listening to your own feeling. The natural offset, is feeling better and better aka more and more aligned with the undiluted, unconditional, source of you. Just nope. There’s no need to give any importance to self referential thinking, as none of it is true. Notice you’re using that, as the justification to “doubt your goals”. If you “just nope”, then you’re “just noping” that whole belief to. It only seems the way it does to you, because you’re believing it is that way - rather than letting the belief go. Getting all that you are wanting out of your head and onto the dream board simultaneously reducing overthinking (self referential thinking)...and it all starts jiving together naturally. It already all is a perfect puzzle, so to speak. You’re adding much resistance by believing thoughts which don’t feel good to you. “Get out of the way”...feel great...experience all that you are wanting. That’s not possible because you are One (not-Two). That “myself” is a thought, an idea. It is not a “self”. It’s a bogus belief, not worthy of any sacrifice of experiencing what is wanted in this life. No need to identify with depression. Notice the experience in terms of feeling, and beliefs. Listen to feeling. Allow perspectives to be liquid, fluid, every changing, ever-aligning - with feeling. Let feeling lead, and indeed guidance I in all matters is known. This mean you’ll be relaxed, feeling great, and enjoying life though (sorry?). Made up, made up, and made up. Some folks are aware of this. You’re projecting meaning onto. Practically everyone does. Nobody has to though. The self referential thinking, being believed, leaves a feeling of discord, with lack, shortage, limitation, etc. None of these are actual, other than to say, your actual beliefs. I am critical of myself. (You’re One, not Two). Continuing in believing to the contrary, feeling will continue telling you the Truth. Continue to ignore it, and that is suffering. Listen to it, and you will fell better and better.

With meditation, thinking slows down and It’s easier to feel clearly & be aware of how we create anger, and therefore no longer would. Is that a benefit of meditation? Yes, relative to that you are already creating anger. Do you need meditation? Nope.

@LfcCharlie4 Indeed ♥️ Psychedelic are sort of self correcting too btw, as far as any ‘for the “wrong” reasons’ goes. @fridjonk

@Inliytened1 Damn! Well said. That’s tough to argue with. @LfcCharlie4 I hear ya on ‘now live the fullest life’, and for one that might be playing piano into flow state, for one that might be becoming a nutritionist in the flow of selfless love, for one that might be exploring psychedelics and getting mindfucked every which way possible. It’s All Good.

I have a friend who says he doesn’t like the Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks. He’s never tasted one. He “knows what it is” though.

Awareness is aware.

@Peter124 Yes it is maya / ego, as you said. Ultimately, just thought being believed and identified with. I hear you, that you’re going through a rough time, but I get the feeling you’re unnecessarily hard on yourself and those around you. A lot of healing and self love is in order. Thought and feeling alignment as well. Any thought or identity about you that does not feel good... does not feel good, because it’s not true. It’s not resonating with you, with feeling. Let the thought go, feel the feeling. Relax. Breathe. Breathing / relaxation exercises & grounding exercises would be most helpful. I’d take advantage of every resource available. Your doctor, therapy, healing modalities, practices, etc. There’s a lot of judgment going on, and I think it’d be hard to see right now. It might seem like it’s ‘out there in the world’, but we each know it as our own. We don’t have to think that way about ourselves though. Get relaxed, grounded. Then let some bogus beliefs about yourself go. I hope you know you can Call and talk anytime with people who are more in tune with what you’re going through, who are well trained with where you’re at on the path.

Yes. Almost everyday actually.

The more you try the more they even work with each other revealing things not seen in a linear fashion of just doing one. Healing modalities too. Same 1+1=10 factor. I would say (Also & may be bias) that stomach breath awareness ‘regular meditation’ every morning was fundamental to every breakthrough.

Beautiful. ??

@dimitri @LfcCharlie4 ?

@LfcCharlie4 It’s pretty much just me yelling “it’s this!” louder than they are talking. ? (just kidding of course. It’s nothing like that)

@Peter124 You’re awesome, and I love you exactly how you are. Let go of judgment, rather than trying to change someone else’s. They are fine ‘where they’re at’ too. My parents did the same shit just in different categories. Letting my judgement go, ...because that / I am a certain frequency to be around...they became aware of their own judgement. I could have told them a million times, but they’d never have heard me, because...of the judgement. “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” Marianne Williamson. If the world’s got a problem with you, they’re going to have to deal with their own judgement. It’s not your problem. Claiming that it is, well, that’d be your problem. Imo, you are a beacon of truth. Because.....fuck ignorance. It’s undeserving of the divinity which you are, and which your attention and focus is. You are a divine creator. This is a rough time. But let it call upon the truth within you. Karma’s a bitch mom & dad. ??‍♂️ The Truth shall set you free.

Nope, you pretty much nailed it.

Are you listening, or looking at the woman in the red dress?

@abrakamowse So. Good.

@ivankiss Nice! ???

@ivankiss Bricks will be shat.

Conflation.

No, it doesn’t. That’s a story too. Imo, that would be doing this again.... ...but supplementing ‘courage’ instead of ‘anxiety’. The belief in the need for courage is founded on the belief one is not. Thought is sneaky. No thought about you will ever be true. Are you starting to grasp what it means / points to...that thought is dualistic? (And you are not)

What is the belief about yourself? The one which doesn’t feel good? The one You / your inner being / feeling (which you have labeled “anxiety“) is telling you, isn’t true?
