We are not just human, in fact, we are spirit in form. All that is born will also die, so no need to get attached to any of it. In fact, if one begins to know this Truth life in the body will make a lot more sense.
You are not your thoughts, you are not your body, you are one with All That Is! All else is illusion, a dream.
Mr. MysticLeo, you get to choose, of course, but I haven't seen you around here before. Would be a shame not to enjoy having some interesting bantering sessions with you. Is there a chance you will not be "shipped out"?
My heroes are people who show compassion toward one another. People who know how to smile and have a kind word or two for the store clerk that looks beat up from working with unhappy people, the person who will help someone with their bags, open a door, let someone in who needs to change lanes. Random acts of kindness are world/life changing and the souls who practice these are my heroes!
Thanks for sharing this, Drea! So sweet. I remember those days! So much mischief to create, so little time!
And thank you for posting something that was NOT about the world going to Hell in a hand basket, the lonely hearts club lament, or the feed my insecure ego drivel!
What is trust anyway? Is it just an expectation that someone with behave in a way that is to our liking?
As maxmate said, if someone doesn't know what you expect, then if they do something that betrays your expectation, is that their fault or is it a lack of communication about expectations.
What if someone steals from you? Isn't it actually your expectation that no one should steal from you that is the issue? What if you held no attachment to your things? If someone took something but your philosophy was, "well, I guess they needed it worse than I do", would trust be an issue?
In other words, is trust real? Is it another illusion? Another trap? If you feel you must be able to trust your beloved, is unconditional love possible?
I'm just throwing questions out there. Just curiosities. I have no preconceived idea of what is correct or not.
Well, Smitten, I must say this is the best blog I've read for quite a few days. I totally agree that some of these blogs sound like fishing for compliment expeditions. And some of these blogs are not anything close to what this site says a blog should be. They are basically forum questions. It would be nice if someone would post some anecdotal story or informational blog that could get a lively discussion going. The closest I saw was the immigration blog and that got old fast!
My imagination is not working too well either, so maybe it is just an ebb. Looking forward to the flow again!
Mr. FMeadow, that was beautiful! I agree with you wholeheartedly on every point you made. If everyone could read those words and live them, there would not be one lonely person left on the planet, regardless of whether they are in a relationship or not.
It is all about realizing that we ARE love. We remember it is within us first and then, if we choose, we magnetize love to us in the form of a relationship with a partner.
Some magnetize the reflection of the love they radiate from within, in different ways than by being in relationship with one person. Love shows up in all kinds of ways! All perfectly amazing and awesome!
Nicely done, AAngel! I agree with your blog. Relationships are difficult because of all the double standards, expectations, and non communication!
To add a view to your blog, all of these things happen without anyone communicating what they really want or need. We all want someone to read our minds! It's crazy making for both parties!
I agree, that once full on depression manifests it may take drugs or therapy or both to kick start the healing process. Unfortunately, most people use these starting points as "the cure". There is no such thing as a separation between the mind and the body. As everything manifests first as a thought, the depression can not be cured by just dealing with the physical or emotional symptoms. The work must be done at the root of the matter. What is the root thought that triggered the emotions that caused the outer manifestation? That is what must be unearthed and those roots can go very deep.
Hahaha, Mr. Pitts, I know you are joking, but that actually gave me an "aha" moment! The idea of a flash of light (awareness, insight) cracking the false self (ego) was a wonderful visual! Thank you!!
Well, I don't care who lives here. This is the melting pot and no one "owns" it. People just like to think they do. My issue is that people are coming in, taking advantage of what America has to offer and not paying like the rest of us do. I have to pay taxes and medical insurance premiums. I have to fill out a census form and carry a social security number. I can't just go to another country without jumping through multiple hoops. It needs to be fair to Everyone, not just the minorities or illegals. It seems the pendulum has swung back the other way to the extreme here.
I agree with you though. We have bigger fish to fry and our government is notorious for causing distractions to hide their abominations. The oil spill is another one. While it needs to be dealt with, it is causing a nice distraction from all of the bigger greed bs that is being brought out into the open.
Yep, unselfish service is a good step to climbing out of a depression. That and realizing that no one else can do it for them. Most people that I have had tell me their sad tales have been fully self absorbed and fully in the blame game.
Depression comes from a feeling of disempowerment. There is an emotional scale that Abraham-Hicks talks about.
The lowest emotion on the scale is this feeling of depression, disempowerment, hopelessness. The next rung up is anger and revenge. Most think that it is terrible for them to feel emotions of anger and revenge. They feel so guilty for having those emotions that they put themselves right back into depression again.
I say go beat the hell out of a pillow and yell and get out all of the buried anger. It can not fester forever. It will either come out in harm to oneself or to another or in disease if not released in a non threatening way.
The scale goes up from there to things like, discouragement, frustration, boredom, hopefulness, etc. But one step at a time is the way to joy.
I don't believe in disorders. Those are labels put on people who can't be hearded and taught like the linear thinkers (who later are prone to becoming sheeple). I love that souls come in with the intention of not living by someone else's idea of "normal". It is sad that their unique gifts are drugged out of them. May all the priceless unique and interesting souls be recognized and appreciated just as they are!!!
