Memories and Things that Have Happened

[Orb]

During meditation thoughts came up about embarrassing situations that have added onto the experience of social anxiety / fear of judgement / etc. 

 

I felt into the relief in it all, but the discord still hasn't yet fallen away.

 

It seems like those embarrassing things did happen, even the people in those situations would agree that it did happen.

Who cares?

Would you be embarrassed if there was no other witness, if it were just you?

The emotional guidance is saying that the thought is just not true. Literally not true. Like a unicorn.

 

That which already is = true.

 

That which already isn't = not true.

 

The emotional guidance is pointing out what already is, and what already isn't.

The thought “came up” is presently experienced.

Embarrassing situations, social anxiety and fear of judgement are all conceptualizations of emotions presently felt. The underlying presumption is there is a multiplicity of perspective(s).  Emotion is guidance, clarifying & aligning these thoughts with reality, or the actuality of direct experience. The duality is memories and things that happened.

The discord is of the thoughts is only felt presently, as the thoughts about a past, other perspectives, etc appear.

The thoughts (past, memories & people) are experienced presently. 

 

This could be thought of like watching a movie. In spite of any references ‘in’, of or from the movie - when is the movie?
