Looks like your ring finger is a little standoffish, your pinky is feeling left out and bout ready to leave, your thumb is noticing all this transpiring, your index finger is uncomfortable with what’s going on, and your middle finger is just staying out of it altogether.

@LoveandPurpose If you took away everything people created with regards to hell, books, movies, special effects, stories,etc, etc, and took away ever having chose to view or hear it...what would you actually have remaining right now, with regards to ‘hell’?

?

Realize that’s all there is.

If you forgot something on purpose you wouldn’t even know. You don’t have to derive anything to know you are you. You can create right now. Or not.

@Galyna I recently worked with a lady with a very deep, yet very subtle calling to the direct experience of the mystical...of Consciousness. She felt very strongly she needed to ‘get conscious’ of some regular life stuff prior to undertaking a deeper venture into Consciousness. She said she kept doing things (didn’t ask) which she doesn’t actually want to do, but habitually keeps doing. She “needed to get on top of that stuff”, and was perpetually frustrated that she wasn’t making progress. She expressed she was in a bit of a pickle of...more knowing of consciousness would help the habits, and, I need to square away the habits to have the deeper consciousness experience. I don’t know why, but I suggested when she noticed such a situation, to just intensely repeat “be conscious right now” over and over and over. To, in a sense, use the very same consciousness which is ‘calling her’, in a distinct direct immediate right now actionable manor to address the habit(s). Anyways, it “worked” to the tune she had a mystical experience while repeating the phrase. Go figure right. Weird.

Your paradigm from your current perspective is entirely backwards relative to the perspective / paradigm you’re asking about. Not in any you’re-at-fault-for-it way, not in the slightest bit. But it is, entirely backwards nonetheless. From the perspective you expressed here, you are a thing with consciousness, a thing which is questioning the notion it can experience “higher consciousness”. But you are not a thing. You are the Entire Consciousness, appearing limited to itself, an implication there is a “thing”, and believing you are that “thing” which is implicated. A “thing” does not have a property of consciousness. There is only consciousness. So there is no “your consciousness” which gets expanded, though that is an entirely accurate description of experience. Rather than an experience of expansion of a thing, consider there is experience of Consciousness unveiling to Itself, that it was never the “thing” it believed itself to be. No actual expansion occurs, only the deterioration of the belief you were ever a limited thing.

@Galyna Consider, you don’t actually sleep. It’s not something you could actually do. “Sleep”, could be made up, a belief. Believing you do, certainly plays a role in believing you are a person in a world. Compare your direct experience of sleep, with your direct experience of someone else sleeping. Notice they are nothing at all alike. You’re level of playing around might by infinite, while your level of actually sleeping might be 0. It’d be mindbendingly humorous to find you’ve been pulling off such an illusion, this entire “time”. New meaning (or no meaning) would arise for such notions as “You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one”. New humors, too.

@FractalFlux Awesome. Thanks for taking the time. I think there might be something to the naked solo trip. A vulnerability perhaps, which seems to play a role. I hear you on the one creating the two. The simplicity is just insane isn’t it? “The ultimate nature is playful” . So very happy for you to realize that profound insight.

@laptophaver lol! Nice one.

@Preetom Just keep trying to be good enough. ??

@Natasha ?

@Preetom Loved the brilliance in your words in this thread. ?? Truly delightful.

Just the breath. Take all that content & all those identities out of the picture. It’s YOUR breath directly. Explore it. You’ve deeply assumed there is some point, or reason, or need, for breathing. That “answer” will come directly from the breath itself, content less, identity less, picture less.

@yellowschnee Definitely find a good psychoanalyst.

@Shadowraix Sorry to hear man. Keep mind’s eye on Beauty, and she is everywhere, in perfect love & peace. She is the very best of us all now. Let her in your heart.

Do what makes you feel better. It’s not that you are or are not “good enough”, it’s that you would be happier without judging yourself and others like that. Stop and think about this now. You are focused on something that happened 8 years ago. That’s your choice You could’ve chose anything healing, loving, freeing instead. Let the thought stories about what other people think of you go. You’ve weaved them into how you think of yourself. Neither, in any case ever, is true. You are never “devalued” - what you are doing, is believing your thoughts. Be mindful of how you have been inattentive to negative thoughts about yourself. Just notice em. That is enough. Notice you do have the choice to agree, to believe those thoughts, or not. Over time the momentum will shift. Speed it up by loving your self, taking care of yourself, and doing things you like. Be alone for days, see that this is your perspective - nothing to do with anyone else. And for God sake, have a laugh at yourself.

@Rilles You rock dude. Plain as day.

A solipsist walks into a bar.

@Shaun Maybe, as in, your state is out of your control, so at any given time or day - you could be suffering...?

@Pouya It’s the very last bullshit. There’s a full circle where you literally cannot focus on breathing from your stomach.

Sounds like you are using a kind of self disparaging internal punishing motivation model. Check out some Abraham Hicks videos on YouTube. Change your views on money. Leo has a video, The Psychology of Money (I think that’s the title) which is excellent. Check it out. It’s critical not to limit your deservingness. Careful flirting with ‘entitlement’, but self hate is the most limiting ‘force’ imaginable. Make a vision board and discover what you honestly most deeply want. Then begin the adventure from where you are to to that. You create it! Psychologically, there is a function of the brain which thinks from a ‘what society thinks’ perspective. THAT facet is the king pin bullshitter in the brain. The more you ground and root yourself in YOUR experience, and begin to become attentive of when you inattentively ‘switch’ to that ‘what society thinks’ perspective, the more confidence you’ll realize in your creating. If you’re interested in changing these perspectives, consider reading The Six Pillars of Self Esteem, and Loving What Is.......and then Ask & It is Given, and Think & Grow Rich. For day to day ‘pick me ups’ in terms of confidence, changing your psychology & state immediately, YouTube Tony Robins, “Motivational speech’s”, etc. And meditate every morning. Twice a day is much better. If you do these things, in 3 months you will be seeing everything so differently, you won’t even be able to remember how you were ever arriving at your prior perspective. You can never go wrong believing in yourself. You can do anything you set your mind to.

@Pouya “Actual reality is TOO MUCH to handle. The Highest Way of Being.” With regards to that statement, breathing from the stomach 24/7, and loving.

@Pouya That was nice.

Lol. Yes!
