Nahm

Might wanna think the logic of that one through a little more. Imo, until you’re laughing & loving. I’ve maintained since day one solipsism is a belief, an ism, like any other. Further, that it is delusion, and spiritual ego. (There is no ‘solipsist’ / self inquire) If more of Nahm’s two cents is desired, Nahm speaks for himself if you will… Also just two cents, music is healing precisely because it is connective and not isolating, like the belief in solipsism. You wrote a great song about this matter. A parable, if you will, the sentiment of which I agree with. It’s fun to relate, but ‘it’s’ the room, the sun, and the sky you beautiful sob. https://youtu.be/z-mxBDuRaZ8 ? Cessation, being, the literal activity of thought, is inherently therein the cessation of such nonsensical or discordant (suffering) beliefs. Obviously, don’t take my word for it.

Pride. Vanity. Having two mouths and one ear.

@Ingit God bless you. ?

I suggest a different thinking, than that of the self referential ‘I’m the male’ kind. Create a funeral. Don’t think about it, do it, for her. Schedule it, at a cemetery. It will help her to release. Let go of the framing of this being ‘something to deal with’, and move to there are some emotions to process. Contribute to her allowance of grieving & mourning. Saying less is more. Those dreams will come to rest. (I don’t mean send invitations out etc, I just mean for you and her). Also, she’s likely imposing guilt on herself with some thoughts that it’s her fault or something she did or that there’s something she could have or should have done. Remind her God’s plan is bigger than that, and though things might not make sense now, they will. Doesn’t matter what ‘God’s plan’ means, she’ll resonate in feeling in a releasing ‘give it to God’ sense.

Indeed. ❤️

Not complex, simple and perhaps more a matter of inspection. Energy can neither be created or destroyed, thus no cost is possible.

@jimwell As always, just a ‘two cents’… consider acute distinction between appearance and illusion, and self inquiry as to the ‘who’ in my awakening(s). @QandC Great thread btw!

Cessation doesn’t point to me, but to thoughts about. There really is ‘no you’. I = me.

‘Suppressive, separate, limiting, or restrictive’ is (still) content of the mind. ‘God realized mind’ is an oxymoron, and is content, and likewise so is ‘elevated’, ‘awakened’, ‘true thoughts’. Content about cessation is not cessation, like the thought ‘sky’, is not the experience of the sky. Experience, is also content. Cessation could be said to be the result of having inspected and resolved all conflicts, or discordant opposing views, in / of one’s own mind, including the belief in one’s own mind, and that cessation could be content. All which is said about cessation is only content which points. Using content to point, notice the ‘three cups, but no peanut’ situation. This video can serve as a pretty good pointer. Notice the overall message of the video is ‘held up’, only by using content, to justify, other content. Three cups, never a peanut. (No implication here this has anything to do with any religion or Christianity, please do not read into the example in that way). The only ‘rule’ of cessation, is whatever anyone says about cessation, is not true, about cessation.

@Apple Juice When the momentum of discord has reached the point it has, the ideal help is the help specifically trained for where you’re at so to speak. Call, allow & receive that help. http://www.suicide.org/hotlines/international-suicide-hotlines.html https://www.opencounseling.com/suicide-hotlines I am not per se specifically trained in suicide prevention, but can rightfully say that you haven’t tried everything yet, and if you’d like to try chatting with me just let me know. I’m available today. Links below, or just pm me. Much love.

The mind is trying to resolve the aversion from what is real, which, God bless the mind and it’s best efforts, it simply can not do and really, can no longer be expected to do. Only what is real will do, in matters of psychosis (or anything experientially resembling psychosis). A different model of approach will resolve the discord, and therein the disturbing visions.

@Persipnei It sounds like some of the distinctions, or the way me, kid, life, death, body & consciousness, and the resulting frustration & panic are framed up could use some reconsideration or inspection. These might not be as separate as is held in mind to be, and the depth of letting go is allowing the releasing of these distinctions, but then they’re held. That which is thought to be frustration and panic, might not actually be felt to be frustration or panic.

What happens when you close… your imaginary… eyes? ? Maybe believe is more accurate than know in this case, and maybe belief is why you’re thinking you’re not the consciousness in question of getting closer to.

Careful of spiritual bypassing and aversion of understanding emotions. While I think therapy is helpful and you should continue with it, many therapists don’t understand their own emotions and misdiagnose accordingly.

@Kyle Gjerseth What’s your ‘why’ in regard to praying?

Monk is a thought.

@Persipnei Are you open to the possibility of letting go of ideas (vs getting more)?

What was the ‘a lot of trouble’?

The control, free will, death, ego, God, universe, yada yada is all conceptualizing. Thoughts, believed or not, but focused upon.. Notice, thoughts arise, are focused upon, threads are created by you. If you want to create something else, allow those thoughts to come & go. Thoughts about what you want to create will arise in the same manor. In focusing on those thoughts, momentum ensues just like with the threads, and that, whatever that is, is underway, manifesting.

@Zeroguy Eggsactly.

@WokeBloke Seeing through the duality of language is kinda on you my man.

@Mosess Right! There’s no need to interpret what I said. What I said is what I said.

This interpretation is yours.

Paranoia, projection, and solipsism can and should be addressed directly. Call rumination, rumination, and don’t continue trying to make it about spirituality, or “spiritual concepts”. (Imo) Don’t be stubborn oriented to trying to be right - orient to actually feeling better and creating what you want in your life. Meditation. Expression. Dreamboard. Spiritual bypassing & then accusing or blaming others is not conducive to your own well being.
