Nahm

I used to do my self inquiry while ripping my Yamaha YZ250 through the woods at around 80 - 90 mph. Then it hit me. I could just relax my mind and do this.

@Roman Edouard When you’ve slept at night, and had dreams, every dream you’ve had, you were fully consciousness that you’re actually a person dreaming? (During the dream?)

@Wisebaxter Don’t believe, or listen to anything I say. I’m just maya. Trust yourself. I’m just one thing on a buffet, it’s your restaurant.

@abrakamowse Neat!

@Benoit Jazy Bypass? No. That would be a shame. A cosmic waste, an “unexamined life”. Were it not for his suffering and ours, how could Leo live his dream? What tour could there be? How could I write this book? Where would my lyrics come from? The calling is to be appreciated, the response is self discovery, truth, Love - but the plot is at first a mystery, why that response is hidden just beyond reaction, how awareness hides Just behind the thoughts. Who could bare the pain of a wallflower with a dance partner like duality? You at work, home, busy, alone? Try somethin for a minute? Maybe three?

@Tearos If you convinced yourself that your oxygen comes from another, you’d be pretty concerned if they were parting ways - such is the paradox of youth & love; if you want to experience the beauty of the Mona Lisa, you’ve got to make it to The Louvre.

Even as the miracle, in the intoxicating rapture of death, I will take but one breath of divine stillness; only to arise again - I am the immovable object, I am the unstoppable force.

@Hellspeed ???

@Benoit Jazy Can you make the distinction, between what is in your awareness, and a thought about something, which is not in your awareness?

@Michael569 Thanks. Same for you, really! I love reading your comments. You got a deep sense of sensibility that I away’s appreciate. I wonder if you take that for granted. ??

@caelanb You might be experiencing being more aware of the tension you’ve always carried in your face, and it seems like you can’t relax it. You can though. Might take 30 ‘let go signals’ but you can. http://www.yogasite.com/yogafacials.htm

Yes. They are not the Self. No need to identify, that’s what get’s Em in there so deep, and in part causes the repetition, which reinforces the believing. Well that’s just music to my ears right there. ?? Yes - all is well (God), ALL is “the divine”....emphasis on relativity to you, “Nahm”, communicatively is ‘appearance’, in actuality, but in silence / w/o appearance,... you. Or very loosely said - this communication is 50% Wisebaxter, 50% Nahm. Without your ear & openmindedness, you would not be experiencing this “from me”, nor I with “you”. Great self discovery regarding your dad. Might want to apply some therapy / practices / shadow work - might not need that at all. Your inner being lets you, and only you, know what is needed. For me, with my dad, it wasn’t money, it was anger = job/work. So I was a kick ass out-work-anyone-on-the-planet-worker for like a decade (afraid of becoming my dad/stressed/angry), and at the same time, if there was stress or a whiff of tension from work, I’d retract / introvert / recluse (inner child afraid). Took a while to figure that out and proccess it. Be patient with yourself if it takes you a while to. Great to be aware of this cycle of internalizing things from growing up! My kids are screwed. Lol. Jk. We’ll see. Awareness alone is curative, I believe that, I trust it. Patience is most often needed too. A bit of a reprogramming will be taking place, like an unseen medicine, and takes time. A consideration of ‘mantra’, just 1 minute a day maybe, might be “money = fun, money - opportunities” etc. Yes a million times over YES! ? No word is true, no thought is true. You are true, experience is true. So why talk & think in a manor which adds internal resistance? You get it. ? This takes time too, like stomach breathing, you might notice you ‘slipped’ a hundred times before it’s the default. Accept “What Is”, but don’t hang out there even for a minute. Acknowledging & accepting ‘What Is’ gets you “out of your head” & “out of your past / conditioned thinking” and back in now, then get right back to ‘Wanted’, positive perspective of self & future. In just days, a momentum builds, you’ll see but make sure you connect the dots. Sometimes it seems like you’re “just having good days” or “life is going well” - Make sure you realize it’s what you’re doing internally. That momentum needs to be noticed and realized, just in case, your “old thinking” socks you once or twice with resistance / ego backlash. I’d consider framing up that old thinking as an addiction, so when the backlash hits, you don’t revert back, and are not confused. Similar to someone kickin alchohol - they would have some clarity by just knowing it’s the withdrawal - nothing more. ❤️

@Wisebaxter Play the inner game; phrase both verbally and cognitively in and only in accordance with what you want, and you will be it. Ex: I want health, I will make healthy choices vs I don’t want to feel like crap, or “it’s hard to make healthy choices but I have to”. Bring this peace & simplicity to your mind. That’s fantastic. How does it feel to you if you replace “To live without fear”, with “To live in love with my life, every moment”? I’m talking about going sooo micro, that you could take a minute now to look around the room and point to that. You say “there are still ares where I have fears and unhealthy beliefs, namely money and relationships” I understand that, and it is great self discovery, and great awareness of where you’re at - “what is”...but go another layer into it. Look around and point to that “truth” about you - see that it is, in fact, not true at all. It’s just a thought, a repeated one, and if you down go down a floor, one more layer below, it is all too easy to miss that the repetition of such a thing keeps it “true” for you - when in fact self actualized is deconstruction, and the it ends in a literal Nothing. So not a rod one can say about one’s self, is actually true. Paradoxically, the finale outcome of the deconstruction, is the revelation of what Nothing in actuality, is - everything. This method, if you will, is nit picky at first glance, but are you seeing what I’m saying? You “feel like you can’t make money”, because you’ve been repeating such thoughts. Is it true? No. It’s a perspective you learned from someone as an example, or as a defense from being around someone who was stressed about making money. In understanding that - then look at this “I rely on the taxpayers money to survive etc....” That is what I’m trying to communicate; First the perspective, then the repeated thought, then it is your circumstance. You can call it magic, you can call it law of attraction, you can call it any words you prefer - but the truth is, play that inner game, win the inner game, to paradoxically discover, there never was an ‘inner’ & ‘outer’ world. Unify them, and enjoy the harmonic mind. Yes! Your vision and wisdom of seeing that experience is what matters, - outstanding. To get there, redefine ‘what is’. You are not stuck, there is no lack. This, where you are now, is the foundation for that. It is nothing more than where you’re starting from. You need not repeat a thing, not even a thought of the past. The inner game is staying with, and only with, that vision, that future. The past has nothing for you, it is spent. Let it go. (I’m digging down deep on ya and I hope you’re ok w it / I hope it’s helpful) Reverse that thought: Because I don’t think I’m enough, because I think to proceed I need more “yellow/turquoise friends”, I am unable to proceed. Maybe say out loud to the wall, “I don’t know what I am!”, “So I’m done saying I’m this or that!”. “I don’t know”, if you can let go and be there, is a very good place to be. Flip that around too: “Because I am infinite, because I don’t know what I am, I am free of thinking I am an individual, I am free of forms, I am freedom, I am the dream - this life is the dream!” Maybe you are already seeing this part here differently...? Keep all the focus on you winning the inner game - win the self, and then you have self to give, then you are positioned to win the ‘outer’ game. You can do those things today. Say it out loud - “I’m done with the past, it’s gone, I have everything I need to love myself right now, and anyone and everyone I cross paths with too.” What you make your highest prioriy, manifests. That is the only possibility. The only question is has life stirred you up enough yet? Seen, thought, and felt enough of what you don’t want yet? Done yet? Breathe easy knowing it’s happening either way - if you’ve not had enough yet, garunteed life will kick you in the ass until you do. Had enough already? Make it priority one. Be so done that the minute you wake up you do whatever you have to do - repeat a mantra, meditate, read or listen to something positive / motivational, exercise, pray, fast, self affirmations, yoga, whatever it is you need to do - you actually already know. The only question is - Do it? or Don’t.

@Lorcan ?❤️?? Have you tried this cheap little miracle.... Been using it every morning in the shower. When the head is tiledted sideways, and you relax deep into the sinuses / and dare I say pineal area, you can feel something open up, and then the salt water flows over or through the inside of the nose (septum maybe?), and I’d swear this little proccess has something to do with dmt, though I can’t explain it in any detail. If you try it, keep in mind it’s not just the flush, but this little ‘part’ that opens with the relaxing of the innards / sinuses. You can tell for sure once it relaxes enough, the water ‘flowing through’ to the other side (inside) is a very noticeable ‘opening up’. @Michael569 What I’ve read so far.... Reiki by William Lee. A traditional, historic, sacred perspective which refers you to the classes for the signs / symbols. Essential Reiki by Diane Stein. An outsiders discovery of reiki, it contains the symbols (frowned upon by some). The two were recommended to me by a master practitioner and are a good pair of perspectives. Of course, the class is where it’s at. It a hands on learning / self discovering.

No one has ever said it better. ❤️??

@Dan Arnautu In addition to that very intelligent comprehensive answer from @Michael569 .....consider taking a reiki class. I have an idea how this sounds, because it’s still new for me, but just a few days ago my wife & I woke up with sore throats, ears, sluggish, etc. I did reiki on myself, and it was completely gone in 10 minutes. Did reiki on my wife, and she was back to 100% within a few hours. Again, I know there is a very deep belief that there is a line somewhere, a mind body connection, but there isn’t. Maybe, sometimes, a cold is the universes way of saying, take today off, and read a reiki book. (If we can just remove that word, reiki, and see it as self love, real, energy, self love)

@kieranperez First, make a life worth waking up to. If you really want enlightenment, commit to excelling at all areas of your life, learn what codependency is (mentally, relative to dad), be the best employee - turn that 10 hours into 40, creating opportunities to make more where you’re already at, and simultaneously anywhere else. Master attitude, master the inner game. There is no time for what you dont want, not one thought. Shift from posting your “problems”, to informing us what your doing. Statements, no more questions, unless they are specific to assisting you. % of Californians employed 96% Median San Fran income: $77,734.00 Average studio rent in San Fran: $2,461 Average apartment rent in Stockton: $1,084 Min wage CA: 11$ x 40hrs = $440 x 4 weeks = $1,760 + 1 roommate (@40hrs x $11) = $3,520 $3,520 - 20% taxes = $2,816 - rent $1,084 = $1,732 for fun, LP, trans, food, ins, etc. You’re one attitude, one roommate, and one city from moving out. And this is just one way to look at it. The point here, is it’s how you look at it, not what you’re looking at.

@Wisebaxter What do you want most?

He’s bluffing.

Wait...”Hogwash”? Nice.

@Pharion That’s fantastic. Like the spinning top tells Decaprio if he’s in the reality, our clocks remind us we’re in a dream - and to live, now. Einstein would be proud!

@Joshe Thanks!

@Javfly33 Resonating with all that. This might not sound like the answer, but start from the bottom and check it all, everyday, you’ll need an A game everyday; sleep, diet, exercise, practices, mindfulness & stomach focused breath, & trips on weekends / vacations. Realistically it could still be done within a year (imo). You could make a case that it would be easier if you had 24 free hrs everyday, and of course there is someone who does, and gets lazy, and gets nowhere on the path. You could make a case that unfreedom is the best catalyst to discovering freedom, internally, financially, and in terms of time. I know a guy who was in college fulltime, had a fulltime job, and two part time jobs, and a wife and kid - and meditated twice a day. 8 hours of free time - everyday? That’s a lot. You’d have to commit fully to the fact that anything is possible. You’d have to realize there is zero time for doubtful thoughts. Familiar with Maslow’s pyramid?

And now I’m responding. Damn it!
