Same thing going on, both convo’s here. @corndjorn

Thanks. I have to say though, that is a weird definition. If you inquire into the meaning behind it, you’ll arrive back at nonduality.

Research & try different meditation techniques, and try therapy. Correct meditation practice reveals spaciousness around thoughts, and you / awareness will be less attached / convinced / reactional to the perspectives you’ve been repeating. When you see the ‘problem’ differently, proceeding is easier and easier. Carried out full circle, the entirety of perspective will change. Make one small change each day with the habits. It’s enough to be aware of what you’re doing as you’re doing it. Don’t beat up on yourself. Change things just for the experience of changing things.

That’s it.

@outlandish Nice post. Wife, kids, Self discovery, living & disappearing.

Nice!

@clouffy what are known things one can do to realign?

@Matt8800 ? ? ?

@corndjorn Can you define the foundation of the op....’spiritual progress’?

@Rilles ?

@Just the mage I’m honestly not saying that what you are experiencing and the perspectives are not true or real. In addition to these perspectives, can you realize everything you’re talking about is bullshit? Every last bit? Again, I am asking if you can see both perspectives. A lessor known but highly effective practice is to close your eyes and have someone wind up, and give you a solid slap accross the face. Have you tried this?

@Gog Hi Gog. Spamming via name and meaningless posts is not what the forum is for. Thanks for your understanding.

@clouffy What is depression?

@bmcnicho Why would one do that do you suppose?

@bmcnicho Do you mean silly like someone crusading against self improvement on a self improvement forum kind of silly? The complete spiritual bypassing of life level of silly?

@pluto8 Yep. You are Truman Burbank. Just haven’t realized it yet.

That’s beautiful!

@Ross Labby The underlying problem is believing the illusion of time. Write out your days, in blocks of time, how you’ve spent it. The uneasy feeling will be faced, you will see there is ample time to pursue music primarily, and other arts as secondary, if you wish. One creative outlet behooves all others. Creating supersedes time, purpose, etc. The resistance to athletics is the deeper knowing the body being more fit would result in the energy to be creative in all your desired endeavors. The ego says “we” don’t need that fitness, we can just spin our wheels.

How do you really feel about that? Proud of it? Obviously, you’re attracting. Just look at your life.

@herghly When inclined to say a word or have a thought (ego), let it (ego) go. No word or thought will do, self inquire without words & without thoughts. Surrender the surrender. Empty the empty. Nothing the nothing. See the seeing. Love the love. Non-sense the nonsense. Laugh the laugh. If there is struggle (thoughts), immediately give equal attention to the opposite of the arising thought, “cancel out” the dualistic view with itself, aware of all views by aware of no views, aware of no views by aware of all views. The wholistic insight; any thought’s the no thought, no thought’s the all thought. Presence is one, aware of two’s (thoughts / perspectives = dual), all two’s are one - I am that. I am the I am _______. Inclusion; all thoughts, all things, all inquires, all questions, all answers - rather.....I am that, I am; inclusion...isness, amness. This won’t “make sense”. That is it’s “effectiveness”; it is ineffective.

@AlphaAbundance What is the source of well being? Why is it that you can choose to align with it, or not? What is the nature of consciousness? Stop and look at your breadcrumbs.

@phoenix666 Awesome. ♥️
