Truth Realization / Re: Your Ego Is Already Destroyed
« Last post by dpoirier on November 24, 2023, 04:08:31 am »Zara, thank you so much for these incredibly clear examples of how the ego gets reaffirmed by our thoughts and actions. Your post has made clear something that has always been a bit fuzzy for me. I wish you would post more of these wisdom-pieces, but I fully understand how busy you are with everything and especially the new course (looking forward to that!).

I tried to contemplate the feeling of "I". There is great unease in that moment. One time there arrived the thought "I am the unease". For a short moment I felt better. How to go on?

Member Posts / Truth exists - What is existence?
« Last post by GP on November 18, 2023, 09:27:38 am »I read the assumption, an assertion (because at the moment that's it for me) that truth exists. I can ask "what is truth?"and "does truth exist?" But if I accept "truth exists" as a working hypothesis, then I ask myself: What is existence? Does this make any sense? I mean, could this question be helpful to come to the point?
I am new here, and I am not a native English speaker (maybe this is helpful for the dialogue - thanks in advance for considering this). I look for possibilities to come further and was hoping that someone knows really and that this someone could help to come further.
Thanks

Life has brought me to my knees - again. And it ocassionally does this. Last year, if there is time, life tried to kill me twice. But I am still here. So I guess I should still be here. After bad events I get quiet again and come 'back to my senses'. Currently, Anna Brown and Michael Singer and a German dude are helping me with this.
I cling so much to my relationship and now I allow myself (and my partner) space from it. The one thing I did not want is space from it and now I truly need space from it. I have never really been into relationships, mostly probably because they are really making me deal with myself, mirroring all parts of me that hurt myself and others. Then I want to end them. I am not even sure if a relationship I have is masochistic or if it is good because I can grow. But do I really have a choice? I assume that the only choice I have lies in awareness, and then I am more powerful than I want to see. If all neediness goes, I do not know what this existence is for. Only play?
I do not know who sees this or who will reply, but I wanted to share.
Love and peace to whoever reads this

Truth Realization / Re: Breathing Well Contemplation
« Last post by Mcewen on August 24, 2023, 04:18:32 am »@Zara Songull can you upload the Jed’s Full Body Breathing contemplation to some other site ? The link is dead
Here is a recording of Jed’s Full Body Breathing contemplation. If you are already a champion breather, you may not need these fundamentals. Even so, you might approach this practice with “beginner’s lungs”. This, and the text version of it below, guide you through the basic practice you’ll want to have well-integrated in order to work with Jed’s Dying Well contemplation, which I’ll post shortly. - Zara

I don't know what I'm up against RN....certainly not what I expected at the bottom of the hole funneled into over this last few days. Absolutely crushing pressure. I've experienced pressure before...typically when facing some superficial aspect of the self being pressured to let go having to do with social moorings.
Fear is at the heart of it...fear revolving around social acceptance or something similar. This is not that. IDK what this is. The pressure is spectacular...but there is no fear. I feel clear....stable, otherwise...resolved...but am being pressured at some fundamental level. Interesting thing is, I really don't know what to do about it. Maybe that's the thing. Maybe something inside is just bored and trying to make something happen...could be that's it. I sent a Telegram but I don't know the venue for addressing this, privately....publicly....or not at all. It doesn't matter to me....I can't turn away. I'm compelled to this, whatever TF it is. One way or another, I guess I'lll find out.
Of note, the pressure backs off when I have to do stuff....family stuff/life maintenance stuff. It ramps up when stillness is engaged.
I guess it's polite in that respect.

It's just that this knowledge is provisional. It won't stay put. Not that it matters, this being something that's going where it's going, me along for the ride as always. I didn't want to go to see the waterfall. I was/am the chauffeur for The Fam. It's a mixed-metaphor. From ego's perspective, it feels like being a slave to circumstance...when the part that feels enslaved is the part that cannot be free because it's a figment of imagination that has no traction...no existence beyond the reflective perspective. It's always constructed after the fact...like a contrail behind Wonder Woman's invisible jet.
Speaking of mixed-metaphors. I'm become Mixed-Metaphor Man in Mixed-Metaphor Land. The Fam wanted to go on a coaster, which I did. It was fun..but ended up with whiplash. Now I can't turn my head, forced to look straight ahead. Yesterday, amidst the lull of lack of motivation saw a perfectly arcing double rainbow after thunderstorm. As I gazed, it began to pulse...disappearing and reappearing repeatedly. When Jed first offered Nav, I saw visions of rainbow colored light. The offer was withdrawn...then re-offered after finishing ACIM...a loopy approach, but effective. He died after Mod 5.
Irony abounds

As you may know, the loss of motivation is an experience many people have. The whole motivational system is a historical accumulation. When you part ways with it, it can take some time to discover what else creates movement. The body still wants to eat. The personality still wants to go see that epic waterfall. Life still wants to life. But what do you have to do with any of that? In my opinion, there's quite a lot to discover about that. So even if this is "it", or an "it", there still remains an infinite amount to discover . . . and no rush to discover it . . .
