As I was reading the article, I was reminded of a thought I had not too long ago; I think I posted it somewhere here too.

My thought was that, in the very near future, it won't be uncommon for a person walking by a violent crime to not interfere or seek help because they are busy fiddling with their cell phone. And further, they won't even understand why that's wrong.

They will regard the crime as a rude interruption...and a distorted, Orwellian language will be developed to justify their belief.

I'm intrigued with that Adara meditation. And something tells me he's likely correct in suggesting that it should be a priority before even beginning to focus outwardly on anything else.

Yes. I remember you mentioning that somewhere. And I'm glad to hear that you are curious about the Adara meditation (she says with twinkling eyes and a smile. :))


I am curious!:)

A very significant part of me would like to leave this world behind and seclude myself and do nothing but engage in spiritual disciplines. I'm a spartan and a loner at heart, so I think I'm suited for it.

I can't tell if I should remove myself from the insanity altogether or maybe remain in it in the hopes of dragging a few people out...assuming I'm not insane already LOL. Perhaps I'm the one who needs to be dragged out!

Sorry Mike, but I do believe your real destiny this time, is to be in the thick of all the madness. Just like us.

Yes, I think you're right Val!:bigsmile:

I suspect that if we lived in the way Brian teaches, we wouldn't have the usual disagreements and misunderstandings we have now. We'd just naturally understand things, without so much dialogue getting in the way. Ultimately, verbal dialogue itself might not even be neccessary.

I'm bumping this for anyone who is experiencing challenges with others, whether it is on this forum or beyond. :bearhug:





It seems we no longer have the right to freely think, do or say whatever we feel is True for us without having to justify or explain ourselves. Haters and bullies adopt a position of authority and deny anyone the right to think, do or say anything outside their own paradigm. Their reality is limited to just Yin and Yang. There is no recognition of any states beyond duality - or their next dopamine hit. The hits come in the form of making a nasty video, posting a critical comment, giving a thumbs down or sending a disapproving emoji - as well as getting a thumbs up from supporters or a reaction from their target.

I was thinking about this yesterday. In effect, what those that engage in this activity are doing is asking that the external reality conform to whatever it is that they deem to be the correct reality. They are acting on the premise that the only way for things to be acceptable in this world is that other people, places and things change for the psychic ease of the individual that is throwing out judgements/ It is the relinquishment of personal responsibility for the well being of self, for doing whatever inner work that entails. Of course the world is never going to conform so it is like a dog chasing it's own tail and this will never end in fulfillment or a state of contentment or peace.

I believe all of us do this occasionally, but the current system is set up to reinforce this behavior with a temporary atta boy, or dopamine hit. This behavior becomes a compulsion, an addiction and that makes for a very dysfunctional reality.

I believe a huge part of humanities healing begins in seeing the insanity of this, much like a junkie has to see the destruction of that action that has become the most prominent feature of their life.

This is yet another one of the inversions we are living under. The idea that "you need to change to make me happy or content."

Thanks T, your post here is what made me take a closer look and see what Constance is doing.

I checked in with her to see if she's okay and she has assured me that she is.
