Ya know...I am just so done trying to stretch people's concepts to something that works...I just look at the how it is and go from there.
In the end, if you really get what I am saying (not just know and understand) it creates the possibility of you having literally anything...and everything you want in your future.
I'm aware of what you're saying. Be assured that I get what I need as I need it.
Whereas, and sorry sorry, the ways currently in place aren't really improving people's futures all that much...nothing personal...just noticing that as I look around the room at the various things I attend.
Do you really think we're responsible for improving people's futures? Yuk! If they really want improvement, I'm sure one day they'll take that first step.
No...I am sure you don't. Nor are you probably thinking: butt in seat, socks on feet, pants on legs either. So...*what* do you think you are filling your future with? Yeah...your past...that thing you are constantly thinking about. *Warm smiles*
Constantly? Me? I'm thinking ... No. Do you constantly think about your past?
We are constantly in a state of creating our future...and this has never not-been the case. However, we are usually totally oblivious to the fact not only that we are, but also how, we are creating our future literaly every minute of every day. We usually are just thinking about the guy that cut us off on the road...and completely blind about how that thought IS creating our future whether we wanted it to or not.
You shouldn't let people effect you that way
First of all, maybe the guy was on his way to the hospital to see his wife who was just in an accident .. maybe he woke up late and is late for work ... people cut in front of me all the time, and you know what, I Let them. But when I NEED to cut in front of somebody, they almost Always allow me ... and I wave to thank them. Beautiful how that works when I realize how Un-Important it is in the flow.
Well...I know that Tolle and a few others are all one the Now thingy...even so they still don't quite get the: butt in seat, pants on legs thing. That is fine for them. We will all go off meditating in the corner and suddenly, somehow someway the earth with just magically change...someday. Yeah...well in the time we are waiting for someday (which never shows up btw, sorry for the spoiler, but I just thought you should know).
I prefer actively creating possibilities for the future...and actually I prefer actively creating the kind of future I want.
Imo, i need not Make possibilities ... that would be me making something up, right? Beliefs, right? The possibilities are already there. Ego likes to "create". Makes her feel important. She "wants' a lot too
Got that. However, I would like to invite you to consider that the nutrients is the real you...the who you were before you started making thing mean anything. The soil is your heart, your soul, your love. And it is rich.
I see it going much deeper than that.
You are, in the end, you...that ball of burning energy that has something BIG to do here on earth. You are that heart...you are that beautiful lover of life.
I Am, in the end, me ... the end ... nothing else ... nothing.
It is the meanings you made up that terrorized you...and that terror blocks you from bringing all that beauty that is in you forth...like the fear that stops you in relationships and makes the relationships turn out whacked.
But those meanings aren't real. You can't fix them, change them, or burn them...because they don't exist.
Terror ... fear ... trying to remember the last time I was so fearful as to be "terrorized" ... can't remember anything of late. I'm not sure where you're going with the "fear that stops me in relationships and make the relationships turn out whacked" ... maybe your just speaking of people in general.
I promise you that if you just "get" (not know or understand, but get) what I say next...that that old growth will never and can never grow back...not ever. You couldn't make it grow back if you tried.
What you say next, is the same thing you keep saying to everyone. I know it's because you know everyone is 99.9% the same. And because humans are so similar, they experience the same stuations, day after day, year after year, century after century...... ect. So the prognosis is easy. And in this prognosis, instead of freeing people from their beliefs, you actually confirm and cement them even more. Do you realize this psychoanalytical bullshit actually harms those you think you're helping? Everyone has a "childhood" experience you speak of, but shit River, aren't we all past that, I mean really ... no, REALLY. (here, I'll include it for dramatic effect
)
And that is that there was a definitive day in your childhood that something happened (it doesn't matter what it was), you still, to this day recall that event in perfect clarity. On that day something happened...and you (for the first time in your life) told yourself what that meant. You made it mean something. It was the first time your beautiful, loving, soul-self, felt like you were not good enough. Humor me and just think of it (don't post it)...it is right there present in your mind. You made not being good enough mean something...and that something that you made it mean has created your whole life after that.
From that devastating day...you made a plan...throughout your life you have revised that plan. A part of you *knows* and *understands* that that "truth" you told yourself about yourself is not-true...but another part of you is deathly afraid that it really IS true. It is *that* which blocks you. You don't need therapy or years and years to sort it out. You don't need to recap it...just be present to it (without running, hiding, minimizing...or letting your internal dialog trample it). It was a sucky day...and it hurt. And realize that every single human everywhere has had one of thosedays in their lives.
Now...just fully "get" that what you told yourself about what happened that day...you "made up" in your infinite little-girl wisdom.
Many good things about you came from the plans you made that day...they will never be lost. But the meaning...and the fear that the meaning really IS true...will be completely lost. And you will never be able to make it mean that again...and thus, the old forest can never and will never grow again.
If and when you get that...think about how many days that took (or more pertantly, how many hours)...when I tell you that I am not interested in other people's ways, it is not because they are not all lovely, wonderful people...it is simply because none of those ways work as quickly, as affectively, or as thoroughly as this way.
I care about people "getting" it because we have things to do on this earth.
The new will grow as soon as you choose what it is you really want.
Just for fun...of all the things you think about...notice how little time is spent thinking about what it is that you truly want for this world.
Why is it we don't have those things in this world? Well because everyone is thinking about how the guy at work is a jerk. So what do we have more of? Yeah, we have more jerks.
It's really not my concern to care about people "getting it" ... there's really Nothing to "get", anyway.
This World will take care of itself. The inhabitants of this world may not fare so well.
I don't spend much time "thinking" anymore, unless I absolutely must. It's quite nice
