    I talked with a friend who is a former leader of a political youth party. I told him I think the justice system should only serve to provide immediate protection of citizens from criminals and that the idea of punishment or retributive justice is unreasonable and needlessly moralistic. He responded quickly with: "it is, until it happens to you".

     

    It made me think: maybe we're at a current stage in society where some form of retributive justice is better than zero retributive justice. Most people aren't able to forgive. Should they be the ones to suffer? But maybe to counter that, do we actually know that the act of retributive justice actually leads to less suffering for the victims involved, or do we just like the idea?

     

    What about seeing your friend's statement this way: retributive justices helps people move from feeling victimized/powerless to a state of revenge.

    But you don't need retributive justice to move on emotionally. It is just that for a society that is so much based on the external, having a full ceremony with a legal authority punishing the other as the bad actor eases that process.

     

    II believe what's truly important for victims is to emotionally overcome the wrongdoing as much as possible and to be materially restored to the same state as before the damage occurred.

     

    And when it comes to criminal, they are punished enough with their life experience, the conditioning they've got to untangle, emotions of guilt and shame, and the social stigma to come.  What we would need as a society is really is to be put them ASAP back on their feet but it is most of the time not how it works. I am more in favor of medical/psychological help.

  2. Finally made it to contentment for the first time.

     

    Bringing up all that batch of once repressed energy from the bottom of the scale until this stage feels absolutely glorious.

     

    I am quite certain there will be some scale relapses, and consolidation to do, but I am... well... content. 🙂

     

  3. Letting the cloud of overwhelment be felt.

     

    Letting it deploy its storm and pass, as all experiences do.

     

    I've felt it in the background since what feels like forever. Coping with it, instead of aknowledging it.

     

    I feel tired. Exhausted. Crushed by responsibilities and to dos. By the political, economical and social systems. By my healing and all the emotional processing I have to do.

     

    Why am I that person who get to do so much and in difficult circumstances?  A part of me wants to become an hermit, disconnect and sleep for days, weeks, months. Just do nothing. Being taken cared of while no more challenges and situations to care of arises. 🙃

    No background feelings of guilt and shame. Or no sensations of time being wasted.

    This is an atrocity. Protocols with be audited, heads will role. 

    😡

     

    That's the appropriate sanction for such a terrible offense! Put a guillotine in your dreamboard, justice needs to be made. 😁

    The invites should be in your inbox now. 🙂

     

     

    Thanks. Got them. 

     

    But the adoption papers are still missing, while we are at it. 💅

  5. Using a remarkable and a paper journal to journal these days.  Will keep this journal for proper public journaling purposes, which means it could end up being very different from all these other journals I am have ever made, as I never had other private journals.

     

    I have been experiencing some real  feelings of exhaustion, as well as some life changes. I wanted to give myself some slack.

     

    I also do a lot of what is called 'inner work', on top of managing the 'outside' life situations.

     

    The inner work is the most challenging by far, as I keep feeling repressions of all kinds stemming from my previous experience as an emotionally 'numb' person. I keep on seeing elements that needs to be reintegrated, in what seems to be a high priority, 'urgent' change.

     

    But also, there is the Awakening. And the Awakening brings me so much confusion as when I bask into Being, there is just this knowledge that all is well, and there is no ego to fix. 

     

     

  6. Following the model of free hugs, I was inspired to create this thread where everyone can come to receive some unconditional love and appreciation when experiencing self-referential thoughts and emotions of inadequacy.

     

    All our coping mechanisms and shadow motivations stem from attempts to soothe ourselves from the pain of the illusion of shame. So, anytime you feel the need to be reminded of your true nature, please feel free to post here.

    That emotion (guidance) is not about myself, yourself, ourself, their-self, himself, herself, no self, infinite self or any self whatsoever. 

     

    It’s the simplicity of ‘the situation’ which is elusive. Emotion is how thoughts feel. That’s it. Full stop. 

     

    There aren’t my emotions & your emotions. 

    THANK YOU !!

     

    🙌

     

    I got it now. 🥹

  8. But Phil, what do you mean by "Expression of emotions experienced is not ‘about myself’" ?🤔

     

    This is what you also replied to me in one of your first posts in this thread.

  9. @Phil

     

    I am still puzzled about your advice there:

    Quote

    Emotion is guidance… to the experiencing of… what is wanted.
    Expression of emotions experienced is not ‘about myself’.
    It’s just about the expressing.
    Keep it simple.

     

    Why is the expression of the emotions experienced 'not about myself' ? Do you mean that none of the emotions experienced are to be made of an identity? That the emotions is expressed without it being made as a part of us. ex: There is the experience of unworthiness when X instead of 'bouhou, I feel unworthy and my life sucks' ?

    Maybe, maybe not. If there are sensations, there must be some kind of division, separation, borders, edges, etc found (directly) in sensation.  

     

    Another way to look at it is questioning  if thought is really primarily, first, or, to be listened to or trusted when it comes to sensation.

    I am not sure If I get you there.

     

    I would say that sensations comes and go, even though all division is relative as I have always been sensing.

     

    Regarding thoughts, it seems that emotions and sensations are always coloring thoughts.

    Is body a thought or a thing?

    Both, I suppose.

    it's not the ego but the prana energy or the chakras are spinning in the opposite direction of its healthy orientation

     

    Hmm, that's an interesting perspective !

     

    Can you tell me more about this?

    ego doesn't exist 

     

    It doesn't, indeed.

     

    Yet the illusion of ego is what is talked about.

     

    A conglomerate of self-referential thoughts, believing in the existence of a person.

  12. The ego is circulating its energy through our nervous system.

     

    Suffering is all the self-referential thoughts  running amok through it. The lower the emotions of these self-referentials thoughts and feeling, and the more it feels like poison into the body.
