Videos, graphics, books, quotes and other stuff.

Things that resonated with me and inspired greater wisdom and understanding.

Bashar on permission slips and other things. Some deep stuff here.

I'm processing all this through my lens of energetic understanding (for reference, see my thread about that). I appreciate Bashar's perspective a lot. What he says resonates greatly, and inspires in me a deeper understanding of this energetic dimension.

13:47 "The higher self is like a guiding principle, a governing principle" --> Interesting. A while ago I introduced a concept in my understanding called meta-energies. A "guiding principle" is an excellent description of that concept. Other words I used were philosophy or tactic, but guiding principle hits the bullseye. That term really resonated. Though I'm still not sure if we're talking about the same thing, perhaps he means something else.

Also, the concept of permissions slips is just so fucking good. So true.

I must listen to this again and try to square it with my understanding, and translate this stuff into "my language".

Another recording of Bashar which I listened to this week, twice.

"When you are acting on your passion, you must also be passionate about being passionate!" --> Great pointer. To me, this is about embracing the ENERGY of acting on a particular thing. Being passionate about coming back to that ENERGY, and not just about actualizing the OUTCOME of that energy.

When you're embracing an energy itself (instead of its outcomes), you are hitting the nail on the head. That's a recipe to let energy flow freely. And thus energetic development ensues.

This is somewhat related to my post here.

I loved the War of Art by Steven Pressfield. It's on my mind often.

CREATION.

Take with a grain of salt. 🧂

Also, the "you're not thinking" thumbnail is making me laugh. "Dumb motherfucker."

Two of my best sources I'm subscribed to for (mostly) Ukraine war news.

I appreciate their analyses.
