Freelance writing. No need to reinvent the wheel. Most people don’t know there is no such thing as a new thought. When you use something and make it unique, give credit. Ya, good question - why are they gonna listen to you? Deep dive that one. Do something new.

@martins name Met God yet?

@fewrocker Downright suspiciously Goldilocks, imo. I mean - all of eternity, in all of infinity - here? Now? GTFO

@Miavono Great list. Lot of clarity there. I’d add the trap of I am _______, or..... ______’s just the way I am.

Not wanting it to “be this challenging”, is resistant thinking. What is “challenging”? What does that mean to you? Your experience is paramount to all aspects, and it is defined by you. Who could tell you “how challenging” it is? No one. It’s your interpretation. Choose a better feeling thought about it, whatever it is. See what others do not. See that which inspires you. Whatever arises, love that. See what Source sees.... The Buddha said given the choice between going to heaven or hell, he’d choose hell. Bartender: Alright Jesus, I gotta cut you off. Just water for you for the rest of the night. Jesus. : Ya.... That’ll do. @isabel do enlightened people have challenges like this arising? The difference is found in identity. do they live a life of ease? Yes. Again,... identity is the difference. and if they do is it because they are not attached to the outcome or is it because hard challenges just don't arise? Because they are the only One. I was wondering if these thoughts are correct: things will never stop "going wrong" I have no control over anything Those perspectives are accurate to you, because you believe them. You don’t have to though. You get to pick any perspective you want. Perspectives are like condoms; use them as needed, and don’t try to use the same one over and over. (It won’t go well) just subscribed to lisa cairns, she's beautiful, can't wait to listen Check out Abraham Hicks too. ?

Some confusion here...between your idea of God, and, God. God is the winningest feeling possible. Side note, do you think you’re going to find God somewhere? Like a meet & greet? Where is this experience-of-not-God?

@creede ??

@Average Investor Cool. Both though.

@moon777light Congrats!!

@Wisebaxter Waking in the morning, fully aware you had a dream. Within five minutes it’s forgotten. Why? Because awake, you are fully aware it was a dream, so there’s nothing to think about. You’re fully aware you dreamt it, you were the dream, you dreamt “you” in the dream, you were every facet of the dream. Simple. No call for thinking - it was just a dream. Thoughts about the dream don’t continue arising - because you are fully aware it was just a dream. What is there to think about? Nothing. You are fully aware it was a dream. It would be silly to think and think and think about it. Do you think, “but wait, what about the scenery?” No, because you are fully aware it was a dream. Do you think, “but wait, what about all those people?” No, because you are fully aware it was a dream. Do you think, “but wait, what was I? Did I make decisions?” No, because you are fully aware it was a dream. While you are not fully aware this reality is a dream - there is desire - the desire is to be fully aware. This is why you have dreams in your sleep. So that when you wake up, you can experience “it was a dream”. But do you listen to that? Nope. You ignore it, and start thinking. All day. When you are fully aware that this is a dream, you stop having dreams at night in sleep. Likewise, your brain stops overthinking. So the only worthwhile question is, what are you doing to become fully aware? Welp, you’re thinking. And talking. Is that working? No. Why not? You only ever have but one choice: Let thinking go, by surrendering yourself, accept this is a dream, and be done thinking. Most people can’t do this. Why is that? Because most people are too deeply deluded in believing this is not a dream, and they are a separate, real, person. As such, this “real person” has needs - food, sex, worth, validation, relationships / love from other “real persons”. Asking them to become fully aware this is a dream = asking them to give all that up. So, it might be helpful, if in this life, you get yourself to a place of not needing these things from other people. Upon fully awakening, will you have actually given anything / anyone up? No. You’d have merely given up delusion. That’s all. Or Get serious about seeking. Research reality down to nothing. Inquire into yourself, down to nothing. See these are the same nothing. Double, triple, quadruple your practices, schedule retreats, talk with those who are fully aware they are but a dream, take trips, etc. You are dreaming, you are the dream. So there is no one here who can wake you up. Just as when you dream in your sleep, no one can enter your dream to wake you up. Wake yourself up. Don’t reply. Don’t acknowledge “me”. Self inquire, now. Meditate, now. Schedule a retreat or trip, now. This adventure is well afoot. You don’t have time for me. You don’t have time for more thinking. Find God within you. Let Him be your dream sledgehammer. “Let there be NO doubt about it....put your mind at rest”. “Let me remind you, that Love will find you - let it lift you out - you are beloved.”

@outlandish Yes please.

Thanks for the response, I love talking with you man. It’s becoming a tinge bitter sweet. Understanding you much more, and already starting to miss the fun when I didn’t. Lol. I see all of that and agree, and it’s really beautiful and visionary btw. That’s a better world you’re talking about. I respect your decision to quit the job, and do what you need to do to get by and continue on the path. I think you’ll realize the self knowledge you’ve committed to, and I would not be surprised if a life purpose, or divine trajectory for this life, if you will, arises. I can easily see you helping a lot of people with what they really need most, and know of the least. Side note....prickles and goo & neither, ...not one or the other...?

@Jack River Direct experience is always king, we don’t know what we don’t know, especially when we think we do...and awareness alone is always enough, so both. One would have to experience both to know, to have awareness to the distinctions vs thoughts about the distinctions. Knowing one and not the other does appear to leave a lot of room for projections like ‘rat race’, ‘9-5’, ‘prison’, etc. It’s also pretty much contingent on wether one even has the luxury of someone else to support them. At the same time, not everyone would want that option, even if it was available, and maybe for good reason. I don’t see where personal development, to the degree one can meet one’s own bodily needs would not be intelligent action. That’s nothing more than a perspective though. Exploring / adventuring the life / world, exploring the thinking & emotions, same ‘thing’, same Self. One should probably first look at why their perspective is divided to begin with (one or the other). The one or the other thinking seems to be contingent on an idea of limited time. Typically when someone uses time to create a one or the other delimna, they are looking at what they “can’t do / don’t have time for”, versus looking at how they are already spending their time. That is simply to be human though.

@Jack River ...confusing...wasn’t that your post?....?

Who isn’t caught up in the “rat race”? Who “doesn’t have obligations”? Who is “making progress”? Who is seeking “full potential”? Self inquire, you might find the knower is the known, the “self knowledge” is the self.

@winterknight Beautiful!

@Truth Addict Oh thank God, finally.....then kill me ♥️
