@Swagala No words can teach better than suffering. Rather than pity, seek to understand, and once you do, you will realize the organic nature of compassion.

@abrakamowse The Cosmic Joke.

@Matt8800 The juice of this thread gets sweeter by the minute. God bless. ??

@Hellspeed YES! ....like a bird across the night.

@abrakamowse That’s what she said....?

@Mikael89 WHO CARES! Go find the girl!

@Mikael89 Direct experience!! Lol

@kieranperez What if it really is all Mind, and the Kenyan’s are not competing with “themselves”, rather, simply running to where some thing is. They could “beat” the competing American with one leg, or literally, none.

@Angelite At the same time though, is there really anything “wrong” with identifying as a “wanter”, and identifying other “wanters”? If One wants to believe in separate people, that these wanters are made of genes, etc, who cares? Let One “path”. It’s not like there is a choice between two.

@tashawoodfall Clean diet, meditation, & self inquiry...AND take ALL the help available to you. There is wisdom in taking the path of least resistance, as well as a knowing which arises in doing the emotionally difficult thing. Do all you can in the name of well being. In honesty, this could mean realizing you need no one, no thing...and can just as well mean you need help from someone. We do indeed create our own reality, and as Well we are all in this together. To deny either does not feel so great. Self honesty is liberating, regardless of the content.

@Chumbimba Sorry to hear man, that is rough. Give this a try...sit and relax, breathe deeply. Let every muscle go, head to toe, a few times. Keep breathing from your stomach. And ask your higher self for clarity... Ask, is this bad feeling because I do need someone.... is this bad feeling caused by the thought that I need someone...then kind of just wait and listen for the clarity. Maybe ask the two questions a few times. Be 1% asking, and 99% listening so to speak. I believe you will receive an answer, the clarity. Might bring some tears and release in either case. Hope this is helpful. Try to notice, each time a thought arises suggesting you need to go back with her....ask if the ‘bad’ feeling is because you need her.....or if it’s triggered by thinking you need someone to feel good. I’m not suggesting you remain alone for life or anything, just that you are enough, just being you is enough. You’re an unexplainable miracle man.

@Vinnie I hear ya man, it’s ok. Yes, we’ll call you Mothman.

@sausagehead The best attitude will serve you the best. Sounds like you’ve got that figured out. Notice how circumstance, situations, and people frustrate you, trigger you, etc. Observe the steps that unfold there in slow motion. Notice the role your interpretation and contextualization play in terms of how you feel in relation (or not) to what is seen & heard. Trust your emotions, not your thoughts. There are no ‘bad’ emotions. There is internal emotional support letting you know when your thoughts are not true. It’s difficult to actually listen to your emotions, but you’ll save tons of time if you get in tune with them asap. And...there is no such thing as a past or future. Dwell on “the past” if you choose to, just be conscious it is now, where / when you are choosing to do so. Try bringing awareness to sight, sound, feeling, etc - where you are now, instead. Good luck!

@Paul92 Thought answering your post might be helpful. If you want to chat again, I’d love to. Hit me up. ??♥️ Otherwise, this too shall pass. Take all the love & help available to you.

@Igor82 Nice! Very acute insights man.

@Charlotte I’d suggest just 1g. No rush. Slow & steady wins the race so to speak. I think you’ll retain more and have more to integrate. Also I think the worst thing one can do with psych’s, in the beginning, is too much too fast, and end up basically put off by them for life.

@Leo Gura I don’t know.

@How to be wise Katie spoke of her brain being re-wired? I’ve missed that. If you have a video or article please share. Thanks. Also, the answer to your conundrum could be that it’s not an achievement, but the opposite, a dropping of what one has been holding. In the sense that anyone (99%) could be enlightened, and if they are not, it’s because they don’t want to be. Duality is an easy explanation for how words and thoughts can always see the factor from either side. @Angelite “With God, all things are possible” You might enjoy a Reiki class. First step in healing is acknowledging the ego does nothing. Sounds like you got step one pretty down pat.

This. ?? ....and maybe have a few of your favorite songs at the ready. Simple easy effective mood boost.

@Charlotte Ever have some worries and fears before going somewhere & doing something, but then you went anyways & did it anyways - and then said oh, that wasn’t actually bad like I thought it was going to be? Ever have a fear of a “mountain to climb” - but you climbed it? View from the top is worthwhile though, no? Past the fears - even the climb, in hindsight, was beautiful, no? Make tea, don’t just eat em. Take on an empty stomach. Don’t take them late when you’ll be getting tired in the next 4 hours or so. Don’t go ‘walk about’, and don’t call the police just because ‘you think’ something is wrong. Sit in a comfy chair, with comfy Charlotte stuff. Write on a piece of paper something like “Just breathe. Relax. You’re ok.” .5g to 1.5g is pretty light and introductory. 4g’s and up is into the major breakthrough range. Watch out for that limbo in the middle. I wouldn’t take between 1.5g and 4g’s. (Also I wouldn’t jump right to 4g’s and up. I’d build up to that. Some people swear by jumping in at 4g’s though and it works for them) If it, sorry - when - it gets ‘hairy’, breathe and let it. Just let it do it’s thing. Don’t resist. And if by chance you do resist - then don’t resist the resisting. I think you’re ready to go, and I am very very happy for you.

@thesmileyone Just on that tough road between conceptual & actuality. Can’t have both, nor would you want to. My ego was clever like this too btw. This too, indeed, shall pass. Crying beats thinking any day of the week..

@kieranperez I understand what you’re saying, but it will not come in the way you demand. Do what I suggest, read all of the posts on this thread. Question the emotions behind your words here. Bring your absolute best Honesty game to the review of your words. Ask yourself, “is this who I am?” Or of course, don’t. Really up to you. I understand “ain’t nobody got time for that!” ?

Put the Mind to the emotions, reactions, triggers, etc - give it relief from the circumstances, situations, etc. Trust the emotion, not the thought. ??
