Manipulation occurs as part of self-survival; it is producing an effect on an assessed condition.

Affecting equals manipulation.

Reality is continuously giving you feedback on the consequences and appropriateness of your actions. Pay close attention and correct when necessary.

Contrary to what's commonly thought, being corrected doesn't make you wrong but the other way around! Notice that correction pushes you back to the road of appropriate action (which is determined by your purpose). The mistake people make is to keep insisting on doing things "their way" when presented with feedback that such approach isn't producing the intended results. You have to become increasingly aware of your thinking, feeling and acting. What is ineffective? What works? What could be done more powerfully, effortlessly? Which principles govern any given subject matter?

The truth doesn't mean anything. It just is.

Create possibilities, which are generated from nothing.

Believing in what's considered to be true is but a belief, not an experience of the reality of something.

In order to live your own life, what's significant must be created by you, otherwise you'll be living an inherited life.

[UnbornTao]

Life is meaningless, and it is meaningless, that it is meaningless.

Play a game worth playing that is bigger than you and that causes you to be authentic.

Acting out of the mistaken belief that one must have a leadership position (or a position of authority or decision rights) in order to be a leader, dramatically reduces one’s ability to be a leader in any situation, no matter what the circumstances are - Werner Erhard.

[UnbornTao]

A form of seemingly inherent joy naturally comes to the fore of one's experience whenever you (yourself) get out of your way. Increasing awareness tends to open the door for bliss to be more readily available as an experience. In these moments, rather than struggling, you are freed to be.

Work on increasing your presence – many benefits will come out of this practice.

Problem-solving and creating are completely different approaches.

What happens when all your problems are solved?

Your situation is the same as before since you didn't get to create what you wanted.

Shift your focus and attention to creating the results that you want:

What do you want to create? How can you start moving towards this direction right now? What action can you take that moves you forward?

It doesn't have to be true nor make sense for it to work.

Deep down, you're afraid of everyone. "Other" scares you. Others are dangerous to your self-survival. Since you assume to be an object living in an internal world, hence limited, anything outside of it has the potential to be threatening to that "inner one".

The author of this quote had a point:

Quote

"Whenever there's another, fear arises." - The Upanishads.

In addition to that, buried down all this baggage, you also feel love for everyone, since others are recognized as not-separate from you!

I keep moving towards the direction of more honesty. But some of my recent communications have been dismissive and cynical on occasion. My expression wasn't entirely honest.

Remember not to undermine the work due to personal challenges.

Easy there, might be falling into more belief.

[UnbornTao]

Notice, are you looking for which beliefs to adopt?

That's what countless people are up to, especially in spiritual circles.

Whatever validates their worldview and theories and sounds good, they are all ears for. When presented with profound truths, however, they get bored and look somewhere else for entertainment.

Let's just move towards what's real rather than towards what's believed, wanted, preferred or valued. These two are not the same approach.
