@judy You might feel all of those within the hour, or within the minute, thought to be after the fact, but Now, you do not.

@judy Not to make light of it, but also to make light of it, I remember when I was a little kid and my goldfish died a week after I won him in a game at the Penny Carnival that I believed I would never, ever be happy again. I remember telling my Mom this standing on hill by his little grave and really believing it. Her perspective seemed crazy, that she knew for a fact that of course I WOULD be happy again. Source is like a parent, it knows how fleeting everything is, how we are. It also reminds me of this verse. "Matthew 10:29-31 New Living Translation (NLT)What is the price of two sparrows—one copper coin? But not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it. And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows." You're loved more than you know, it's all working out, even when it seems it isn't. You gotta put how you feel first to see it clearly though.

@judyI'd pick the thing that comes to mind seems the easiest or most interesting to do. Reading takes a lot of focus, music or watching a funny youtube channel would probably be a lot easier to start with.

Buy yourself a houseplant or some flowers, clear off a space in your room or home, go for a walk some place pretty or interesting, go to a library or free book box and let intuition tell you which to pick, listen to some music, call a friend, watch a favorite movie, try a recipe you've never tried before. Go on Pinterest and pin things that make you happy, inspire you. Make a list of stuff like this and you'll come up with even better ideas.

Humpty Dumpty!

Synchronicity is happening anyway, if it's apparently negative it is still positive as it shows us where our focus is. People in the world aren't happy. Happiness isn't like a college degree, that once it's yours it's yours. it isn't an attainment for a person. We all have the same guidance, the same feeling guidance, the same synchronicity. Happiness is an in the moment alignment marked by the absence of discordant thoughts. There isn't any assertion. Like the message in Man's Search for Meaning, no matter how extreme the circumstances, whether they are real or whether imagined, no one can force you to feel bad. The emotion is guidance. Pick better feeling thoughts. Choose what you want. Imagine the apartment with the pet rats and the Westland terriers. Focus on this stuff until it becomes. You cannot become an enlightened person. Like you earlier n your response to Reena selected Phil and myself as the only credible people here, that is not the case. It is only Now that is enlightened, and you are that already. Choose happiness, rather than waiting for it to be bestowed on you, it is simply picking a better feeling thought now or dropping those that are discordant. You cannot wait for the reflection in the mirror to smile FIRST refusing to be the first to smile without feeling awful. Smile first. Choose a better feeling thought. Let go of the thoughts that explain the frown in the mirror, and why it's valid. Just smile. That's the unconditional. That's the end of the stand off with yourself.

@Agape What do you think about synchronicity and serendipity? Do you have experiences of them? What if all beliefs are true?

I'm not smiling until this face in the mirror smiles. I refuse. It's like being a little kid and telling your parents you're going to live out the woods now, cause you've had it with them. And they're just like "cool." Maybe that was just 90's parents, I think I'd tell my kids they'd need someone to check for ticks. It's a shame that manipulation doesn't work. "Feel bad for me." It's for me, for me, for me. I don't hear no, or me or an exclusion. "Feel bad." As your Fairy Godmother, granted. 😁 Turns out it's for YOU! Goddamn boomerangs. Magic fairy wand magic. Whatever. You have no respect for my discord. What a liberating realization. Fine, whatever, I see it, I get it. Boomerang caught. How do I do all this? You don't. That's the liberation. There's no conflict in it. HEAR. HERE.

Someone just posted a story on Facebook, accidently, that says nothing but "The first I". There was a song on the radio named Afterthought that struck me earlier.

Try writing out each statement then pressing enter. Bring space into what you write visually, it makes a world of difference. "People avoid me." That's a belief. "I'm not any good with women." That's a belief. "I can't hold down a job." Beliefs about me. What do I want? Example: To feel loved, to feel appreciated and like I'm making contributions that are valued. To be compensated for these contributions.

You can feel good, you can feel weightless and blameless, but you cannot judge yourself to BE those things without cutting yourself off. You are pure potential. No one wants to hear a fairytale with no contrast... that would be a terrible book or movie. The perfect, good, totally innocent conflict free movie would be terrible. That's how hopeless this situation is. You aren't just a character in that movie, and you aren't the story that has beginning and end, you are the creation/creator/creating now. What if you never have to wonder as in doubt, but that there IS wonder is the magic and love? You aren't annoying and you aren't arguing and you aren't wasting my time, these are my favorite kind of conversations. Don't worry what my experience is, that's my task, not yours.
