@Lynnel I remember the days when I’d say, “tell me the actual truth of what I’m missing here...don’t hold a single punch”. I remember prior to that stage, laying disclaimers, so people would just be nice to me, so I wouldn’t feel hurt. In hindsight, it must have been difficult for some people to watch me cut my own hands off.

@fork You are the higher consciousness already. Thoughts, arise “from” / “within”, you. When the next thought to say something arises, instead of reacting, just let it go. Watch a rock, until every thought ‘empties’, for example. Thoughts about the rock arise, and go. Thoughts about life, me, etc, arise & go, like helium filled balloons floating away. Eventually, with every balloon let go, helium is directly ‘experienced’, and so is “it’s” source.

@trenton Beautiful.

@pluto ?♥️

@TheAvatarState I hear ya. I not only understand, I experienced the same thing directly. I also communicated it and wanted to be understood as well. No worries. Hope I didn’t offend you. ♥️ I found my misunderstanding of a few feelings, kept the patterns going.

@weareacouple Welcome to the forum What distinctions do you guys make from ‘we have a healthy sex life’, to arrive at ‘we have an addiction’?

@DreamScape ♥️?? Even...is the knowing.

@mandyjw ?. Nailed it.

@DreamScape How do you know (as in, how is it that knowing is possible)

@mandyjw It strikes me as another pointer to judgement. More directly & specifically though, imo, it points to the “issue” of objective really, and cuts through with ’the sword’, that indeed God is the son of man.

@DreamScape Of the knower, knowing, and known, which seems less God?

@DreamScape What would it be curious about?

@Ibn Sina I think you’re shining a light on both the true innocence of love and the illusion there are two of them. If love was born in place of the girl, yet into the exact same life, it too would be loving what she is loving.

@zudrush I wish you the best, it’ll all work out. ??

@mandyjw I gotta be more mindful It’s written like I’m saying that about you, but I meant it like, about the subject and meant to be sharing the thought with you. Lol. And now I’m laughing because THAT is how sneaky it is! ??? No wonder we just say “Oh my God!”. ? Nothin else will do!

@Barna Beautifully said. ??

Would / could it still, if it did? Is reality & God a duality?

??

??

Yes. Because ‘reality’ is vibrational, and there is no assertion. How? Current paradigm: I call my unconditional loving inner being... “anxiety”. New paradigm: Rather than label it, I notice it is my thought which is bogus. I realize the feeling (inner being) was telling me this all along. How does that reveal to me which people bring out this type of anxiety in me? It’s the people who are in the current paradigm, while you’re still in the current paradigm. In the New paradigm...no one does. Ever. “When this person calls, this person who is not listening to their inner being....I feel like I have to not listen to my inner being...I feel like I have to go about work like they do, and it sucks.” “Oh wait, I don’t have to though.”

@Beginner Mind ?? That’s a thought. That’s how sneaky thought is. There’s nothing over your head. You are the awareness, of that thought. One little thought about awareness...and “it’s not me”. It’s you though. Notice, if you don’t believe there’s something you’re not getting here....then there isn’t. No need be “flowing with the Tao”. Just casually begin to notice, the believing of thoughts. ] The next thought that arises...don’t do anything with it. Don’t express it, or communicate it, or anything. Notice, it came, and it goes.

@arlin I don’t know really. What happens if you laugh about it, if you were just believing a thought. How do you feel? Is there suffering there ?

@Beginner Mind ” I “ can’t.

My reality is a dream. In my dream of reality, there is no such thing as a ‘true thought’, because there is no thing as “a thought”...it’s actually, dream. This reveals that there are therefore, no true thoughts, about me...as those thoughts too, are dream. I must therefore be, “the dreamer”, and the total, or entirety, of the dream itself...rather than what appears to be in the dream. (Nothing is in a dream. That, is dream too...the meaning for “in”...is dream) With all the love in the world my Good man....that’s false. It is one thought. That is the actuality. The ego is that one thought - believed. The “content”...”machine”...is not true. The subtle implication is that a “machine” is a thing, implying “the ego”, is a thing. But it’s not, that is just one thought. In believing that first one thought, this thought, which appears to be linked to that first thought, is also believed. So now we’re believing there is a thing, “machine”, which is separate, and “running things”. But in actuality, there was one thought, and then there was (again) one thought. The two thoughts have no link, nothing at all to do with each other. In believing they do...we are “entering a thought story”...by believing the thoughts, and believing they’re linked. The “congruency”...is illusory. Only in doing this, can there then be the belief...”everyday lives”. It is only in this believing these thoughts, and believing they are linked, that what’s coming next can follow suit....... Notice how you got there, by believing the first two thoughts, and believing they’re linked, congruent. That led to the next thought being believed...”survival”. Now that thought is being believed, and also being believed to be linked to the other thoughts. Now there is another one thought. As it is being believed, and the linkage is also being believed...there can now be the identifying as this linkage. Notice though, it was one thought at a time. No linkage. This gets you to this point, where having identified with the thoughts...actual you appears to be separate. So now, there can appear to be a problem. That, is one thought. It has nothing to do with the prior thoughts. Only in believing each arising thought, and the story unfolding by believing they are linked...there can be this “ it “....which is “prone to” self destruction. Without believing that first thought, “the ego is necessary”...this thought would not occur. There is no opportunity for the thought “self-destruction”, without there being this belief in being separate from that which destructs a separate self. That, is one thought. I, in reading this, experience the sharing of each one thought. I am not experiencing the story of it, because I didn’t believe the first thought. In believing the first one thought, then the following one thought, etc...a story is weaved & believed. Only due to this, this next one thought arises. Notice though, now we have given more separation, more life, to this “separate self”. We are now referencing with “ it “, as if there is this “thing”, which “evolved”. That is the content, the story...being believed. There is no such actual “ it “. “ It “ is a series of one thought ‘s. Not believing & linking the thoughts....there’s no “it”, and therefore no “dysfunction”. There can be no dysfunction of an it, if there is no it. And there is no, “it”. There’s no ego to be “solved” or “corrected” or “fixed”. There just is no ego. When a thought arises implying there is...without believing that one thought...it is clear that there isn’t. ...then one is believing these exact, “story of the separate self”, thoughts. Actual: One thought at a time arising. Appearance: They are all linked, there appears to be an “ego” by believing the thoughts, which makes me “the separate self”. (Not really though). Now, one thought arises, which has the content of giving credit to this “entity”, the “ego”...the “machine”...but there isn’t really. It was just one thought, believed. Didn’t feel good then, isn’t feeling better as we go, because it is a tour into falsity right outta the gate (first thought). Without the believing of the first thought, there is no “ego”, no implication believed of a “separate self”. Without the belief in those, there is no “others”. Without the belief “others”, there is simply no possibility to “push anything or anyone away”. The guidance of this clarity has been present this whole time...feeling. But feeling is being missed, because the thoughts are being taken at their face value - content - believed. Now this one thought arises. But, without believing the prior thoughts, there would be no “story” weaved of them. Without that story, there could be no “problem”. Without that “problem”, this one thought, would not have arisen, and there not be the one thought that a “solution” is now needed. All thought loops are in believing thought. Feeling will cut through it. Were feeling first from the beginning of this, there wold have been no “pattern”. It would have been one thought, which didn’t feel good, and a better feeling (truer) thought would have been chosen. Then, there is no pattern, and therefore, no need to “break” it. There’s no pattern, or breaking a pattern. There is believing this one thought. Right now. Not this story. Not these old thoughts. They’re gone, done, passed. They have nothing to do with the thought which about to arise next. It is spontaneous, and free of all implied meaning. It can be led by feeling, and worked up the emotional scale, and this one thought which is arising next, can change everything. The believing of one thought, then another, as if they are linked. That’s all. Without believing the thought, “programmed”, there could not be this perspective. Without believing the thought, “failure”, there simply would not be this perspective. Inspect. What was your direct experience, of “being programmed”? What is “failure”, actually ? (Just a thought, linked with another thought, “me”) In this story of separation, there arises another seemingly linked thought...”supposed”. Without believing the very first thought “we all have this machine in us called the ego”...there wouldn’t have been the implied separation, and therefore could not be the thought believed “supposed”. What is your direct experience that everyone else has this going on inside of them? That is one thought. Believe it, or choose a better feeling, truer to you, thought. How can you believe that, if you didn’t believe the thoughts which led to the believing there is a separate self?

Happy for you that you are expressing about this. It is that single phrase right there which stands to set you free. It is not other people, it is your thought about other people. That, is how you liberate from the cycle of anger.
