Recognize the feeling of relief & expression are inseparable, like sharing a discordant secret and thus liberating of it. That is the outcome of expressing. You can also do the reverse and entertain different interpretations, while feeling the subtly of discord and alignment for more adjacency to truth. Notice you’re doing that effortlessly right now while reading this. They are already perfectly, naturally ‘challenged’ in perfect time, and this discord is felt when the discordant beliefs are activated via relativity, or, simply in being around other people and different situations. Imo, rather than an orientation of challenging beliefs, orientate toward the easiest & most natural alignment possible - what you want. Make a dreamboard. Two birds one board. Focus upon wanted, let’s say, ‘activates the body’s natural tendency to clean out’. Limited beliefs come up & out all on ‘their’ own. Daily meditation & daily usage of the emotional scale make for a smooth ride. Get out there and experience new stuff. Get. Crazy. To the extent your budget and schedule permits…. Think up who would be most opposite culturally etc, to you, and go talk to that person in person. Go to a country you haven’t been to. Make recipes from other countries for fun. Do the practices of different religions for a week. If you’re male, ask a female what’s it’s like being female, and listen. If you young, ask the old, and listen. If you’re old, ask the young. If you’re straight, ask someone who isn’t and listen. Never ‘wait’ when waiting, do somethin new, something you haven’t done before. Learn something you would never otherwise learn. Examples for me… long line at Walmart yesterday, asked the lady in front of me what her dream is for her life. She thought I was nuts initially, and hugged me on her way out. (Separate example) learned how to use a sewing machine to make a dress for my daughter. Bonus; now it’s easy to finally make t-shirts fit. Listened to a genre I never really resonated with for a week (country music) turns out it’s all about God & love it now. You get the idea here. You won’t remember who you thought you were. Whatever comes to mind for you, try it out & enjoy.

TLDR but much love to ya and Godspeed sir!

Just say fuck it and see what happens.

@mandyjw That’s what she said.

@Judy2 Nice!

Adorable. There’s a show on Apple TV called Shut Eye that came to mind. You might like it. ??

Day to day focus is naturally (and perfectly) zoomed in, as if looking through a magnifying glass. This ‘magnifying glass’ is, but isn’t noticed. It is, but can’t be touched or seen. When you get high on a substance, focus loosens, as if zooming out. When this occurs and you feel discord, you are feeling thoughts, beliefs and perspectives that are ‘held’ or believed while zoomed in, which you’ve adapted to and thus don’t really notice while zoomed in. But you notice them when zooming out. For the win, zoom out of, let go of, the concept ‘my mind’, and instead employ, ‘what I am right now focusing on’. If, when zooming out, discord arises, choose love. If someone pops up in thought, love that someone. If a struggle or challenge in your life pops up, appreciate & love it. If a discordant past event pops up in thought, love all who were involved. In this loving, you are letting go & healing, and allowing more zooming out. In your loving & wishing them well, you are liberating yourself. Then, when you’re back to your day to day, and not zoomed out, the two become one. (Zoomed out & zoomed in). Then so to speak you can zoom at will, from someone & somewhere, to nothing. This is nothing more than what you’re already doing so to speak, as God. Could also say this is applying nothing to everything, until there is not an everything, nor even a nothing. (The perfection).

That there are no trips. Ego, in a nutshell. Spiritual ego.

Contemplation is communion, conscious creating, and is about your life / experience, and what’s let go & what manifests. Mental masturbation is thinking & talking about this, but only regurgitating, not actually creating anything. What’s genuine is really up to you. As a specific example, talking about & sharing the Kaballa, vs not talking about it, but actually employing it in your creating / life.

@Gesundheit2 The truth is there’s no answer because it isn’t a doer doing thing, so there isn’t stuff I could suggestion one do. It’s just letting go of discordant thought, perspectives & views and feeling alignment more & more acutely, and abiding there in. Could say sensitivity experientially increases as you do. Same trial & error over here as over there so to speak. But that’s potentially a non answer, which can seem cryptic or vague. So the most practical answer I can give is get a guitar and start learning it, and learning to sing, and start writing songs. And now concepts like bias etc are likely arising to an extent that sounds like Nahm’s personal thingy and the suggestion is already missed, as in not really considered. But the suggestion, when entertained, when tried, is profound because expression & transmutation are profound. It’s not about getting famous, or even singing well, etc. And that is (I presume) very difficult to grasp. That the suggestion doesn’t have a point, or, is valueless. If I experience this (thread topic) and the emotions therein, and end up with some of the trial & error discord, for me it’s not really discord at all, it’s an emotional experince about to be had, via a new song about to be written.

Which emotion is felt? You have to find out directly. ‘Becoming more aware’ is actually a letting go of misunderstandings, assumptions, beliefs, etc. Awareness can’t really become more aware’. Which emotion is felt? Motive is focusing on whatever you are focused on to fundamentally avoid an undesirable outcome. Inspiration is focusing on what you want. Inspiration is aligned with source and creates, and you know this alignment by how it feels. But not by thinking about, by direct experience. Yes pretty much. Yes.

@funkychunkymonkey Much love my friend. I know shits hard, it’ll pass, it’ll get easier. Hang in there. Understanding is key. Anything I can do to help out, you know how to hunt me down. ? Also, if you don’t already have one, adopt some kind of creative outlet. Writing, painting, carving, singing, anything creative. What you create, as in the quality of it, or how good you are at it doesn’t matter. The, as an outlet part matters. Helps it all along, and get’s you more & more in touch with the creator you are. ❤️‍?

@somegirl Your emotions are guidance in regard to your thoughts. Same for them. No one is creating and experiencing your emotions but you. Same for them. When you treat people the way you want to be treated, if & when someone treats you otherwise, there is no triggering, no anger. Don’t settle for concepts. Doesn’t work. Understand the actual emotions, the direct experience.

@Vision There’s still paperwork verifying your income. In Merica it comes from the IRS every year and is used to do your taxes. They usually want copies of the last two years tax returns. The easy route… they’ll just tell you exactly what they need.

@PurpleTree That guy’s got nothin on what lies within you.

Much, much love. It can get rough. Both the path & the forthcoming suggestions. Be accountable & apologize instead of justifying the behaviors that you desire to change. Spend more time understanding the emotions you’re experiencing and why, and less time on youtube & playing video games. Don’t cover up the outbursts with unintelligible uncommunicative conceptualizations like ‘the dark night’ & ‘the dark side of meditation’. Inspect & understand what you’re actually experiencing. Practices are for your life, emotional & physiological well being, communion and relationships, and are not “enlightenment work”. Lashing out at people is not ‘just something that happens when someone is on the path to enlightenment’, it’s lashing out at people. Express instead. Let go of the self referential belief you’re a total sweetheart, so you can more so see your behaviors and the effects on others. Your parents don’t care about your books or your enlightenment, they care about you, your well being, and their own well being. They are not ‘up your ass’, they are involved because you are involving them. Let go of the ‘other worldly’ jargon and communicate in regular human earth terms. ‘This shits gonna happen’ is not turning into a butterfly, it’s denial & justifying the behaviors that you yourself do not desire to perpetuate. Justification perpetuates. Don’t alienate, do the opposite, go to the therapy and the psychiatrist, and take full advantage of every resource available to you. Wishing you the absolute best. ?? This is a video on dispelling / seeing through (and not feeding into) the dark night. Get good with your source. Give your folks a break.

@PurpleTree Picturing buses being pushed off cliffs, subways filled with fire balls…

‘People’ is a thought. If thought attachment is experienced, thought attachment can be directly addressed. Meditation.

The ‘devil’ is said to be a ‘fallen angel’. Still an angel, just ‘fallen’. Fallen is said to mean ‘unwilling to be parallel with mankind’, something which the rest of the angels are happy to be. To perpetuate a self image as above mankind, ‘the devil’, ever-cunning, is never at a loss to reinvent and reconceptualize, and thus we have states, ego-consciousness, ego-life, God-consciousness, etc. For ‘the devil’, there are those, and there is no devil. Heaven is simply the absence of the devil, and ‘the devil’s tongue’ (always shown like a snake’s, split at the end, dualistic, higher & lower, etc). This is a most difficult pickle for a ‘devil’, because again, what makes the devil the devil, is the firm belief in being above mankind. All beliefs are tricky and a call for compassion, as the holder of the belief can not recognize the belief, precisely because it is a belief / believed. Peace indeed. ??
