Blessed2 Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 You can ask me over and over again what emotion on the scale I am experiencing and I will answer every time exactly what emotion I am experiencing. We can do that for a week or a month straight. I can express by saying "I am experiencing the emotion [x]". That will not do anything. Addictions such as nicotine, caffeine or food will not stop. There will not be a rising on the emotional scale. Nothing on the dreamboard will be attracted. The change I want will not happen.

Orb Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 The emotional scale is quite funny because it seems like Love is on top and you gotta express emotions to get on top only to realize that Unconditional Love IS what is feeling emotion. Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone. Mind is clear of limitation. I seek no state of enlightenment. Neither do I remain where no enlightenment exists. Since I linger in neither condition, eyes cannot see me. If hundreds of birds strew my path with flowers, such praise would be meaningless." - A Comment on the 8th Ox Herding Picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Maynor Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 (edited) I'm experimenting with how the dream (Ego/Maya, etc) operates when I'm detached from it. It's a kind of reverse psychology approach. Instead of trying to control, I'm doing the opposite and resting in Awareness. It's a huge experiment. Like, if I stop fooling with it, maybe it will right itself on its own. Being seated in Awareness is Love and Bliss. The body-mind might be like an angry teenager where it has to decide to do it on its own without you telling it to do something or trying to twist its arm to do something. Again, a very reverse psychology approach. It's yet to be determined if this is effective. I'm leery at this point as to how much control over the dream I have. I'm also leery about the effectiveness of my attempts to control it. So, maybe letting it be without interference is the right answer in a detached manner, I don't know. I think it's always good to hold the intention as well, somewhat loosely but consistently. Anyway, this is my approach right now. I'm definitely not chasing emotional states. I think that leads to suffering because you're attaching to pleasure and when things aren't pleasant you double-down into trying to control things. That leads to Awareness being seated in the body-mind instead of being seated in Itself.

Blessed2 Posted May 24 Author Share Posted May 24 32 minutes ago, Phil said: @Blessed2 What is the topic? That's not really acknowledgement nor expression of what's felt. But I'll answer. I can't make the change I want happen. I can't really even imagine it happening. However much I try, none of the suggested methods or any other methods actually make anything change. Very simply, what I want isn't coming and I can't make it happen.

Phil Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 2 minutes ago, Blessed2 said: That's not really acknowledgement nor expression of what's felt. Totally, yes, agreed. The emotions were already acknowledged. Emotion is guidance for thoughts. What is the topic / thought, which these emotions are felt in regard to?
