@zoey101 ...what’s happenin? I feel like we need an update on this. ❤️

@psychoknaut How motivated are you, on a scale from 1 to 10? (To succeed at these things you mentioned, or one of them)

@WindInTheLeaf They’re very easy to spot. Usually in 1 or 2 sentences.

@martins name What’s that mean to you?

@Mikael89 Assuming you’re referring to a wanted change for yourself, and you thought positively about it, pictured it working out and feeling great - tomorrow, think about it for 10 minutes, then write down the smallest first step you can think of.

@Buddha Jackson Thanks for the share and very happy for you! ❤️

That is really terrible to hear. I’m glad you are aware that abuse means get out. Smart. What he’s dealing with is bigger than you, and you and him. You’re losing your energy, as you put it, because you’re looking at this as a you and him issue. It’s not, it’s his issue. You and your daughter can not be around him until he gets himself throug this. You realize, you didn’t do anything right? His actions are the actions of someone who is currently an addict. There’s no excuse for what he’s doing. If you try to help him, and be forgiving, IMO, you’re just making it worse for both of you and procrastinating the serious level of help he needs. I think you know all this. And we got your back here. You know, like, to the extent possible online and all. Emotional support wise. This too shall pass. ❤️

@Solace I love it. Our fridge art today;

Sounds a lot like meditation. They all have the same one answer, so you got that goin for ya.

@Jamesc It started simply for legal reasons because woman were property. I heard that’s starting to trend again (full circle). We’ll see. Also, the ‘marriage’ doesn’t have any inherent property of representation, so it literally represents whatever you see it as, and you get to pick.

@Emne If you’re just starting, I’d do 30 minutes of breathe focus / letting thoughts pass, into 15 minutes of self inquiry, every morning, and 30 minutes in the afternoon. There’s no one size fits all though, as we’re all a unique one of a kind. To get the most efficiency out of it, consider the relativity to sleep and diet as well. No one part is in unrelative to the others.

@Applejuice Get good with yourself first. Everything you’re saying about your relationships with others is actually your projection. This imo is a really great thing. There is no void from the past relationship, there is a repetition of thinking about it in the same way. If you would like reality to open up for you, be willing and open minded. If you want better relationships be willing to be open minded, and a good listener. Practically, and easy way to make friends if through common interests. Yoga? ?. If you do the practices, eventually, there is nothing better than being alone and other people are major icing on the cake. The depth of your relationships with peeps cannot surpass the depth of your relationship with your self. Impossible. Meditation is good for this. Self Inquiry.

@Deepu Where is it?

@tsuki Obviously.

https://sites.google.com/site/psychospiritualtools/Home/meditation-practices/self-inquiry Self Inquiry This is a meditation technique to get enlightened, i.e. "self realization." By realizing who you are, the bonds of suffering are broken. Besides this goal, self-inquiry delivers many of the same benefits as other meditation techniques, such as relaxation, enhanced experience of life, greater openness to change, greater creativity, a sense of joy and fulfillment, and so forth. Focus your attention on the feeling of being "me," to the exclusion of all other thoughts. 1. Sit in any comfortable meditation posture. 2. Allow your mind and body to settle. 3. Now, let go of any thinking whatsoever. 4. Place your attention on the inner feeling of being "me." 5. If a thought does arise (and it is probable that thoughts will arise on their own), ask yourself to whom this thought is occurring. This returns your attention to the feeling of being "me." Continue this for as long as you like. This technique can also be done when going about any other activity. CAUTIONS: Many people misunderstand the self-inquiry technique to mean that the person should sit and ask themselves the question, "Who am I?" over and over. This is an incorrect understanding of the technique. The questions "Who am I" or "To whom is this thought occurring?" are only used when a thought arises, in order to direct attention back to the feeling of being "me." At other times the mind is held in silence. This practice of Self-attention or awareness of the ‘I’-thought is a gentle technique, which bypasses the usual repressive methods of controlling the mind. It is not an exercise in concentration, nor does it aim at suppressing thoughts; it merely invokes awareness of the source from which the mind springs. The method and goal of self-enquiry is to abide in the source of the mind and to be aware of what one really is by withdrawing attention and interest from what one is not. In the early stages effort in the form of transferring attention from the thoughts to the thinker is essential, but once awareness of the ‘I’-feeling has been firmly established, further effort is counter-productive. From then on it is more a process of being than doing, of effortless being rather than an effort to be.

@Nathan There’s no coincidences imo, just experiences slightly outside ones scope of perceived relativity. It seems to be happening in a donut shape, perpetually changing and hidden by having no end points, rolling back into itself, though in appearance vs actual changes and within that pure magic.

@Mikael89 What did you do?

@Jamesc lol

@Jamesc nice

Yes. Omg yes. There is the peak happiness of a human, and then there is nothing. Happy is human - maya. Enormous difference, if I’m understanding your inquiry. But yeah, I’m with @ajasatya , drop the kill the ego thing. The peace people seek is what they already are, and it’s not what you think it is. The “ego” is what’s been added to it, unknowingly, and entirely through thinking & beliefs, assumptions & misconceptions. Look for dualities that you hold like these people & these people, good & bad, alive & dead, I like hamburgers & I don’t like hot dogs - pick them apart - they are preferences that are identified with, but that is a description, not an identity. What a mindfuck though. You unravel what you completely think “BestSelf” is. You can’t be a thought, if you’re what is aware of the thought. So whatever you think you are, you’re not that. You don’t even know if other people are real or not. Good. Luck. “Love & Light”

@lostmedstudent There’s some easy on the brain videos on YouTube if you search double slit, quantum erasure, quantum entanglement, superposition, Schodinger’s cat. If you’re new to qm’s, I’d watch the double slit many times, even if you feel you understand it already. Have fun man. Welcome to the forum!

@InfinitePotential @Faceless I hear ya. It’s any interesting topic. I don’t see why there couldn’t be reincarnation - again - in the duality (maya). There are stranger things.

@Faceless Can you explain your point a little more?

Reincarnation is true in duality; there are not two beings, only one, so no reincarnation of beings is taking place....and.....every being is actually the same being, so you could refer to past “lives” of the one being, and there could be ‘carry over’ in “lives”. In nonduality, there’s just you and nothing to resolve. Psychologically, when you’re aware of someone’s resistence from a painful experience, and you’re aware they’re not aware of the connection, reference to past lives can be one hell of a tool which circumvents the denial. Like, Jane has esteem issues, body image issues and confidence issues....”Jane, I see in a past life you witnessed many abuses to woman in World War Two when you were a first medical responder at outposts. You saw some really hurtful things and those memories may have carried over into this life subconsciously.” Jane may have such denial of being hurt in her past, such repression, that she is congnitively honestly unaware of the influence on her present emotions. Jane might feel relief that there is an explanation for the way she presently feels (albeit shady use of metaphysical perspective) and Jane might begin to be free enough o work through it. Not my favorite approach, but if it help, it helps.
