@Loreena love you! So awesome.

@Scarwolf just need to change the way your'e approaching this. You can't solve a problem you are perpetually creating, other than to let go of it. Keep thinking about video games in a good or bad way, and you'll still be thinking about video games. Think about what you want to do, and you will be doing more of that before you know it, without expending any effort to the video game "problem".

@Dan Arnautu to me it sounds like you are perfectly on point with your self awareness. Chill and enjoy. Realize the results of your efforts is the present you, and that's a fucking awesome thing to be. When you die, you will be the only witness of your life.

@Prabhaker A person is enlightened because they have accepted everything, and thus, they have no need for a concept you call Krishna.

@Raphael Thoughts happen, then feelings. When depressed, the work to do is with the thoughts. What are you listening to daily to change the quality and patterns of your thoughts?

It's easier than it sounds. It's harder than it sounds.

It's the separation that you don't enjoy. How can I be that fucking cockroach? It's so gross, right?

@Dan Arnautu nice to meet someone else who lifts, sings, plays guitar and writes. Me too. Taylor 914ce, one of the great loves of my life. You inquiry may be that you are close to letting your individuality go. (Ego). Try just letting go.

So what do you think?

SImply notice when your thinking switches from what you think, to what someone else thinks. Spend a few days only thinking what you think, and you won't have questions like this, you'll know and be proceeding.

@Shin That's awesome and I love you Shin! So now we have Jesus Christ, Craig Christ, and Jesus Chris? The universe really is expanding. It is as you say. It's all LOVE, flowing through. Resisted here and there, allowed here and there, and experienced as such.

Don't hold your breathe, it triggers more fight or flight response. Instead, chew gum and breathe deeply from your diaphragm. Your body will respond as if everything is cool, because we're breathing slowly and deeply and eating. Use peppermint gum specifically.

@Prabhaker Even using the word "Krishna" has made it so you are no longer talking about the one thing. Now you're talking about all your connotations of the word "Krishna". Now you will encounter all of everyone's connotations about the word "Krishna". Now you'll be prevented from being the one thing, because you have separated yourself from it by giving it a name other than your own.

Just mentioning, for a little color on this subject, that when the wake up happens, it's the most beautiful mind blowing experience. It's remembering what I am. It's a switch from experiencing my life as a person, to experiencing my life as the pure unconditional energy that is everything. There is one energy that became this universe that gave rise to my experiencing consciousness of the one thing. It is not that rape, for example, is an enlightened thing to do. It's that the experience of appearance of separation from the one thing has an underlying desire to have the feeling of being the one thing. LIke a child who spites a parent because what they really want is their love - the connection. Each person is where they are in the big experience of separation, and we will all be purely the one thing again, (we already are) but during this in between phase, we have this experience. To be enlightened is to know for one's self that everything is perfect as it is, not good or bad, because the good and bad are just part of the play, and the truth is that the set, the stage and the actors are all pure energy that is eternal, absolute & infinite. If it seems like a puzzle, don't blame anyone but yourself for listening to someone else's instructions or experience. Learn what reality literally is for yourself, that is the way to realize what you are. Don't settle for trying to decipher someone talking about their experience, learn directly about everything. Everything. Meditate. Or don't.

@Afonso If you want to know what reality is, cut the shit and learn physics and quantum physics. Meditate every day. The authors mentioned are great but again, if you want to know the truth, learn from the people who actually studied and understand what is known about reality vs people who are describing to you how they are experiencing it.

I had the same problem. What Sheen said worked for me very well. Treat it like a drug addiction. Be aware you are dealing with a few days of withdrawal. Eat fruit to ease the withdrawal and keep you sugar habit away. It's worth it!!!

@Hungry for Truth it's being unknowingly conditioned and having negative emotions that are not understood, vs seeing that everything is one giant causation and using that causation purposefully to obtain what one desires for their happiness.

@eskwire awesome!

@eskwire https://www.goaquagear.com/products/waterfiltrationpitcher Here's a link to a water pitcher you can just put in your fridge, if you're into receiving with simplicity everything that happens to you, go ahead and order it.

@Radical Honesty Your conception of what you are is all of the mechanics involved. You are totally right when you say believing this is pure egotism. If you said the opposite, you would also be totally right. It is, after all, your body and your mind. Self contained. Or maybe, just maybe, that's not true for you anymore. It's up to you.

@paul2016 Such a great post Paul. Thanks. Relativity comes to mind. Unlike you, someone who is sick typically is sick from a denial that led to the manifestation of an illness. That person would not be open to hearing what you're saying here. That's the nature of their perspective, and the illness. Since you are an experience to the contrary of the norm, can you share with me, what opened your mind to this? What information or person, etc, was the catalyst in 'flipping'? How did you go from the perspective that caused your illnesses (unknowingly to you) to the perspective that healed your illnesses (know to you)?

@Torkys Just chiming in...I would do what Leo says. This is the center of his wheelhouse from my perspective. I would also write on a dry erase board: "I" "Me" then write your personal definitions (connotations) next to it. I think you'll erase the definitions many times and be left with the realization of what you actually are. I think then you'll see that part of what was preventing you from seeing what you want to see, was that the definitions you held for "I" and "me" were changing as you spoke / typed, and you weren't noticing that. From my perspective.... Me is someone that eats. Also, me is something that holds a belief that I must eat, and therefore I must. Me is also an ineffable substance. Same goes for "I". helpful?

@Dodo Fucking awesome Dodo!! Thanks!!! You are a reference point for someone else who is not pursing their happiness. I think that is the best one can be. Strikes me as genuine and brave. Also, I wiped something off my ipad and accidentally hit the 'report post'. Sorry about that.

@eskwire May I ask, why do you use floride?

@PretentiousHuman You have negative emotions because you are choosing your thoughts and in denial that you are choosing your thoughts. You are perpetuating negative thoughts and procrastinating choosing one' side you actually enjoy. Reality follows. Allow time for momentum to build. When the universe shows you and by showing you asks "Are you sure", be sure.
