@zeroISinfinity Indeed, to all of that ?? This particular thread is more focused on The Path, Living & The Dream Board. I’d love to see what unfolds for you there. ?

@mandyjw Ha! That’s awesome. And beautiful.

@mandyjw ☺️ Thought, sensation, perception - all comes, and all goes. You do not come & go, you are Truth, and you are everywhere. Every actor, script & scene, every singer, poet & philosopher, all whisper our true unspeakable name. ...and so castles made of sand, melt into the sea, eventually. ...it goes like this; the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift - the baffled queen composing...Hallelujah. ...the only thing I’ll ever ask of you - you gotta promise not to stop when I say when. Minor chords are haunting, troubling, essence of tension, problems, troubles, everything-is-not-ok-ness. Major chords are resounding, resolution, rejoicing, everything-is-ok-ness. Fourths & fifths add sophistication, complexity, suspense, drama, intrigue, uniqueness, concern. All chords are sound, all sound is vibration, and vibration is you. The deliciousness of the fourths & fifths, the falls and the lifts, the gift that one can be baffled - that is an incomprehensible miracle. You knew that “coming into this”. Not telling you anything you don’t already know. Just reminding you that you promised not to stop, no matter what. How long though? Ever long.

This is precisely what that looks like.

??♥️ In short - just get a big one and start writing everything that comes up, that you want, on it. Anything, no matter how big or small, significant or insignificant to others, no matter how possible or impossible what you really want might seem today - write it all on there. It will come, and you will expand leaps and bounds in learning the “receiving mode” living of it all. It is very very counter-intellectual to a contemporary culture which puts all emphasis on the intellect, rather than feeling, dreaming big, and the quality of direct experience. Wherever “you’re at” pathwise, it’s important to reinterpret the “dry erase board”, even if only linguistically for now, to “dream board” / “holon”. At first, the dream board is representative of something...the idea that this life is not “heavy”, “serious”, or “pressure laiden” - but to be taken lightly, for fun, lovingly - feeling is what “matters” - it is the point, the joy of, the source of, and the guidance of, living. The dream board / living, is unwrapping the true present, that is your reality - which is created of God’s unconditional love. Filling the board with what you want in life brings up personal & collective conditioning, notions that you are not enough as you are - and kicks up awareness of these resistant thoughts. Dreaming the life you really want, no matter what degree one “get’s it” or not - is aligning with the actuality, that this life experience is indeed dreamlike, that you are enough just as you are right now. “Life”, “experience”, is responsive to a deeper, yet lighter, underlying vibrational offering. As you get all that you are wanting up onto the board, and see that it indeed does then begin to manifest in the most amazing of ways - you begin to realize the underestimated importance of “receiving mode” - of your invaluable, immeasurable, uncompromisable - worth & deservedness. You are learning to “allow your light to shine”. Source’s love is magical, all encompassing, and can be downright overwhelming in the beginning. If one was to experience source’s love all at once, it would actually be too much. Too life changing too fast. Really. And the infinite intelligence would shoot to your head, and you’d blow the opportunities coming to you. The love is so great, it would actually be a “problem”. Really. There aren’t even words for that infinite endless love. It’s very common, upon first glance, to be “terrified” by your own infinite goodness. So the dream board, the dreaming of the wanted life, begins a sort of “changeover”, from “regular physical paradigm living - pounding square pegs into round holes, worrying about how everything will go” - to wanting, allowing, receiving - living in the amazement of this miraculous moment. A great way Abraham Hicks put’s it... “you’ve been doing 90% thinking, and 10% receiving....you’re designed to be doing 10% thinking, and 90% receiving.” Statements like that seem like wishful thinking in the beginning, but the heart of the dream board metadventure is discovering just how true this is. Eventually, it is realized, there is a literal effortless living..a “0% thinking, 100% receiving - “Way”. And this way is actually most natural. I would not argue with anyone who suggested this was always the intention, always the actuality, all along. A deep learning & understanding arises - that the “contrast” of life - the “bullshit” if you will...the “plight”, the “struggle”... - is actually the making-this-possible-ness of reality. Infinite perfect being / love, has to create the appearance of otherwise, so there can be experience, life, all our stories. More & more, this is what is revealed, first hand, to be “more real than real”...as it is discovered our prior notion of “real”, was a bit conditional. This can trigger our identifications with thought stories / narratives, etc. It takes some balls to establish what one really - actually - wants. You might say it is facing the fact that “it is our light which we fear, not our darkness”. How extraordinary you are, how special, unique, and talented you are - what you’re capable of experiencing in this life, where you can “go” from where you’re at now - what your unique gifts can bring to your life and the world - it’s mind blowing. So much so that it is literally unending, a bottomless pit of awesomeness and experience. More mind blowing than that, is the ever-deepening realization that source, reality, you - are completely, intimately, unequivocally “involved” at a vibrational level. All that is, is first source, superposition, infinite potentiality - and vibrates into what we call, “physical”. It is always vibrational - but that is the very means of appearing, physical. We, are of the same. That the entire universe is relative - to your experience. That this is not some random cosmic collision, some happenstance of existence. That source has a nature, a will, and is wholly lovingly focused on your dreaming of this life. That source, ‘prior-to-manifestation-you’ - is the all that is. That there is no separation to truly be found between the dreaming, the writing, the wanting, the reality from which it unfolds, and love. All a “holon”. Like everything else - it is not the thought about it - but the direct experience - the “getting your hands in the clay of creation”.

A higher dose will ‘do it’. Also, notice, if there is no death...and those comments are reinterpreted accordingly, then you wouldn’t actually be able to die. This would indicate it is the belief in death, the having identified with an “alive” “body”, which is surrendered. “My ego did not permit me to die” The “my” is “the ego” (the thought / belief “I have an ego”), the ”me”, or rather awareness which the “me” points to, doesn’t die. Because the ego doesn’t exist as an entity, only a thought, “it” can not “permit” or “deny” anything. You can’t really accept death because it’s not actual. The thing to scrutinize is the beliefs support that you were born, and you’re currently alive. “How to do it” is misleading. It’s less, not more. Without the beliefs, it’s already the actuality.

@erik8lrl Big Love! Welcome home! ?

It’s because this is where you’re sharing your belief in death. That is what’s being discussed, not death. @infinitelove “He got mindfucked” ... the mindfuck is that there’s no him.

You also can’t deny that can’t deny is a double negative which cancels any meaning out. Your ‘“direct experience” of the ‘death of a body’, is actually direct experience of thought, perception, & feeling. ‘Death’, is a projection. The assumption of ‘death’ is derived, arrived at, created in thoughts about perception, about feeling - and believed. Feeling directly communicates the assumption is not true, feeling “knows” this error. The tree of discord from this rudimentary delusion is great and pervades many aspects of living. Far greater is the relief and bliss of truth. There’s no direct experience of death, as in the end of, or discontinuation of a being or entity. There’s you, fooling you, with thoughts, perception, and sensation. The cosmic joke.

Breakdown the direct experience. First separate thought, perception, and sensation, all of which there is direct awareness of. Thought: “Door” Perception: Seeing Sensation: Feeling via the body. Without the thought “door”, there is seeing and feeling. Without the thought “door” and closing your eyes, there is feeling. Without the thought “door”, with eyes closed, and not feeling (“the door”), there is nothing. Without the thought “door”, with eyes closed, and with feeling (“the door”), there is sensation. No door. No separate object. Only sensation. Now without the thought “door”, with eyes closed, without feeling...notice there is the knowing of thought, perception, and sensation. Now notice, there is no actual separation, between the knowing of, and thoughts, perceptions, and sensations - there is only the knowing of _______, but there is nothing in that blank. There is no evidentiary direct experience of separation in actuality. There is only the knowing. Thought: “physicality” yada, yada Go outside tonight, and look straight up. That isn’t finite. That’s infinite. It’s put itself into a snow globe, which it is looking out of, up at it’s own infinitude. In all that infinitude, “earth”, “air”, & “atmosphere”. What are the odds of that?

No point or scale. ‘Makes sense’ isn’t logical, so let ‘thoughts about’ go. Perception doesn’t ‘make sense’, so let that go too. That leaves awareness, consciousness, peace, love, knowing, being (no ‘who’). What you’re asking about is already the case (add thoughts, perception, & sensation to forget again, to double down, add the belief objects are perceived).

Does insight feel accurate? Does it feel the same as knowledge? One seem more ‘deluded’? What does deluded really mean?

It’s not even a debate if Sadhguru is involved. It’s like seeing Santa, and there’s this other stuff going on.

@zeroISinfinity This is “it”. Nothing is coming. No one is coming. No change is eminent. No discernible difference advances no one. No claim of no stage is no thing. All things coming, all awakening narratives, all anticipations of future moments, all proclamations, all decrees, all promulgation, is not it. “All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.” - St. Francis of Assisi

Anger & pride aren’t stages or levels, but thoughts. The stage / level is of consciousness / awareness - of the thoughts, & the willingness to feel them, and know the discord & accord in love. Consciously feel the thought of anger, as dispassionately as you’re able to, without the voice of cultural conditioning, without self judgement. It is who you really are, by which the relativity of emotion is known. The thought does not belong to anyone. Much like fear is perpetuated and sustained in projecting to avoiding feeling, anger too proves to be hollow when illuminated by feeling. Unwillingness to feel the thoughts, is unwillingness to know one’s own guidance. You know I’m around, if I can be of use. I examined and liberated of the anger I was born into, and helped my dad with the same understanding. Anger can be funny, and love is always resurrect-able. Perhaps the absolute does not include everything at all.

@The Don Keep going deeper. Don’t skip days. Add contemplation to your daily meditation. Go try a few modalities. Try a retreat. Take a trip. Pick apart the beliefs. Start a dream board. If you think understanding the imprint of childhood is something, wait till you actually realize there never was ‘death’. So sneaky. Maya. ?... ? ? Wake up! ♥️

@Nemo28 ♥️??? @Charlotte You had me at cappuccino.

@JustThinkingAloud It is. ??

We’re the mechanism.

@Nak Khid Solid post. Nicely done.

@The Don Meditation, every morning. Don’t quit now. Let the silly thoughts go. They’re only thoughts.

@28 cm unbuffed ?? ”Thank you, and I have no complaints” - E Tolle

@LfcCharlie4 ??♥️

@Identity Well now I’m just jealous. ??? @moon777light Too kind, thanks ?? Got a board rockin yet?

Maybe look at them as indicators to what is actually challenging for you. (Meditation every morning) Death is not the ‘issue’ at hand, it’s overthinking. When someone actually passes, we naturally mourn. When we worry about the possibility of it, we are worrying & ruminating - overthinking. Overthinking is fueled by unsettled feelings. The mind goes into a “resolve this feeling by thinking” mode. But feeling isn’t resolved by thinking. Again, meditation is the way, as beliefs about ourselves are freed. Just let them go. This will likely involve some emotional releases, tears, relief, followed by a greater understanding. Also, as always, utilize every resource available to you. That’s a ‘two birds one stone’ for where you’re at. Get a large dry erase board, and start writing what you really want in life on it. This will reconnect you with feeling, and expedite the flushing out of false self beliefs. If you don’t want anything more, if you’re not dreaming up a dream life - then there is little inspiration to courageously let false beliefs go - and these are the root of fear. All fear is of ourself, not because there’s anything there to fear, but because you’re actually unbelievably, unthinkably, awesome. A belief held about yourself to the contrary will always feel “bad”...this is because it’s not true, and the true self actually is awesome. It’s like trying to put two magnets together with one backwards, it’ll never work no matter how hard you try - until you align them. Then they’re rather inseparable. Noooooooooo! Fill your body with feeling! Being is very very sensitive - and knowing your true self more deeply is where “courage” comes from. Everything you could ever fear - is actually you. If you “desensitize yourself from feeling” - you are separating yourself, fragmenting, and this causes more fear. Get as close as possible within, with feeling. Feeling is guidance, the variance between each arising thought, and your inner being. Let the thoughts go readily, willingly, and effortlessly - by listening to feeling. You’re already you. You’re you no matter what you do. If you think “it’s” a lifelong process, “becoming you” / letting thoughts which don’t feel good to you go - and you believe that thought - you will experience that it is a lifelong process. You could write self beliefs on your board right now, inspect them, and have revelations and relief. You could begin to understand why, when, where, and any who’s involved, as to the initial creating of the beliefs. Thinking is very sneaky, you’ll never “beat it”. The only “win”, is letting go, surrendering to feeling leading, not thinking. Put that sneakiness to work, toward the life you actually really want - the life vision of all that feels good to you. To be clear, I’m not at all suggesting you stop doing therapy, or anything else which is working for you. By working, I mean releasing, understanding, feeling better. There’s a write off at play here, and it’s deep. “Fear impacts the wounded inner kid”. When the mind attaches or credits love, to another, then the mind has to cover that falsity up with a story. The feeling of the “inner kid being wounded”, is actually the inner being saying “I am you, and I am Love! - these thoughts are not true!”. The dream board will serve you so well in addition to the therapy and nurturing. When you start really wanting for this life, the “taking the garbage out” so to speak, emptying of false beliefs - becomes worthwhile. The more worthwhile it feels, the braver you get - and the more you begin to realize there’s no need to begin with for the “fear & bravery” paradigm. Otherwise, one can end up spinning their gears in a directionless state for way too long. ”...the panic can be overwhelming and seemingly irrational.“ I’ve experienced panic attacks too. What I learned, is that the self, you, are indeed unconditional love. You can believe to the contrary once, and there’s a little bit of feeling discord. You can do it twice, three times...and still, the feeling is not too bad, not a lot of discord. However, if you do this chronically, repeat negative beliefs about yourself over and over - it is because you are awesome - because these negative self beliefs are not true - that eventually, your inner being, in totally looking out for you, in having your back like nobody else ever could...kind of says... “ok. This bullshit has been going on long enough. You’re going to stop everything you’re doing right now. Not later, not “when you have the time”, not somewhere in your “lifelong quest” - but right now. You’re going to realize right now that you are not going to fast forward and rush through this life unhappily, you’re not going to carry these beliefs one more second. I love you! I got you! This Present is for you! The whole damn thing is for you!” And then you do the only thing you can do when that “panic attack” is given - you stop everything, rendered rather helpless, and you tune into the present, the here now, the sight, the sound, the feeling, - the endless love of your inner being.
