@Faceless Did you watch the dream video? Any.....”thoughts” on it. ?. just kidding man.

@Lorcan ?

@Joseph Maynor If you could see the smile and tears on my face right now man. ❤️ HAve you seen that Foster video.... “When my ignorance is gone, will I know it?” ???

@Shir ❤️ Tiny changes, tiny changes. That is the key. They grow into great things.

@Viking Don’t try. That’s more of the same. Do it. Even five minutes a day. That seemingly small difference between trying, and doing the tiniest little bit, that tiny change - you’ll spout everything you want outta that change.

@Shir I went though most of that, minus the being female part. I tried therapy, prescriptions, etc, etc etc The only thing that worked, and it worked 100% was healthy eating, exercise, positive thinking (Abe Hicks is good for that). And of course, these things only served to increase my awareness, that it was what I added that caused my depression.

@Viking The resistence is not in the harder route, it is in your thinking. Make a new habit of thinking of what you want, and that you can do it. The only other thing you need to do is be patient while that momentum builds. Don’t doubt it, it works. Doubt, is the resistence it’s self, no doubt.

“The power of love is a curious thing. Make a one man weep, make another man sing. Change your heart to a little white dove. More than a feeling, that’s the power of love.” H Lewis

@Viking I second that. Get earbuds, put the music on, think about how great you’re going to feel!!! There are other ways, but if you can exercise is direct and efficient.

@snowleopard LOL. It’s of course, the cheap fake laminate.

@Shanmugam lol. He’s my favorite!

@MarkusSweden For sure. It’s good to hear what others experience, it serves to inspire our own self inquiry. A fun loop.

I agree with that. It serves to open the mind, and inspire, but then must be put down, or it’s a crutch of clinging. It can become a filter for truth which of course isn’t truth. Sometimes though, it’s hard to know it was the pointing inner, if you haven’t yet seen the moon. (Not you, just generally speaking)

@Joseph Maynor I think the rabbit hole is the way through one’s own misperceptions, from Alice in Wonderland, exemplified through eating disorders / cause & effect, false perception of self, etc. What is the simple perception? The one without misperceptions? What is the misunderstanding, in your experience (realizations)?

@Dodo +1. Lol. I love how the truth has always been there like that. Even pop stars express it, but it’s so often missed. I think that’s because we put ancient mystics on pedestals.

@Truth Addict Have you realized / experienced truth?

@Shin yes...and now I will take a moment to myself. At least I didn’t say meditation. Remember that phase, little while back? People would just slap the word Meditation on threads.

@Lynnel This might seem to good to be true, but I think awareness alone would help you out a lot. You’re already doing the hard part, looking at it and seeking help. I remember feeling as you describe, and it felt like I was on speed all the time. My mind was thinking about my past screw up and my potential future screw ups. Try just sitting quietly alone every morning for like 15 minutes. Keep returning your focus to breathing from your stomach. There’s a large list of things happening with the body and brain that are all curative, simply from doing that each morning. You just sort of don’t work on it, just let the self curing mechanism do it’s thing. Give it a few days, and you’ll really notice how things slow down and you feel more calm and peaceful. It might be hard to just sit in the morning. Thoughts about how much you have to get done, etc, arise. But I assure you, if you just sit through it and focus on stomach breathing, it’ll change all this for the better.

There is Truth. So all beliefs are false. Tricky though, cause if you are it, you could never be addicted to it.

@Patang very wise.❤️??

@OnceMore Just a left field question, but is your brother into any instructors, motivational speakers, law of attraction teachers, etc? Also, how did this job fall into his lap? Did he apply for it? DId he know someone on the ‘inside’? DId he network his way in?

@OnceMore You can love him and want the best for him. This is really about you. It’s not like there’s one of everything in the world and so only one of you get’s It. You can’t be free of it and hold negative feeling perspectives about it. One or the other. If your focus is on resenting him, it could have been on bettering your own situation.

@OnceMore Gotta shift your attention off anyone else and on to what you want to do. You’ll regret it later if you keep thinking so negatively about him. The situation you’re in sounds pretty terrible. You thought your way there though, you can think your way out, and onto what you can do for yourself. Good luck❤️

@bananak That popcorn lung story, applicable to vaping, was proven to be false, that’s how it was given the name, ironically. People got that from breathing concentrated diacetyl manufacturing artificial butter flavoring for popcorn.

@Deep for sure.
