I just want to throw this out... I'm doing nothing with my life. Dropped college (because I didn't like the only course that I believed that would like, and I didn't have a second option in mind), can't find a decent job, no motivation to study...

Similar situation. Not much motivation to do anything. I haven't had a job in 6months (not that I particularly mind, but still) Tired of "waiting" for a "big" change too. Making the most of whatever time you have is very important. Time can either be your friend or enemy. When I have nothing to do, I hate it. When I have too much to do, I hate that even more. Balance is key. Much love to you and anyone else who is going through a similar situation. |

Soon enough we will change it more rapidly/consciously. But the question is "How far do I go?" [snips] Quoting: Chaol The choice is more of a question: "How far do I go?", or, "To what extent am I?" This is where you consider, if you wish, what is "you" and what is "not you". That is the only battle that will ever be, and is not really a battle at all. If you don't wish to see everything else as you you have all of eternity to redecide. 1, 5, a thousand, or a billion years... it does not really matter. Eventually you will know that you can only perceive of what is you. And that is the only purpose of anything that exists. To point the finger back at you long enough for you to see it.

SpawnX User ID: 23530328 United States 09/23/2012 08:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thank you, Mr. X :) Quoting: CatCarel But how does one go from considering the extent of self to applying, or using it? How does one take the less desirable aspects of reality and flip them? Things are changing, for sure, but my surroundings are as solid as ever. I seek the same answers. I too find myself connected to less undesirable aspects of reality. This has become a part of my reality and has become very relative to me. We perceive that which takes the least amount of energy to perceive, each day feeds off the last. We have relationships with the undesirable. We need to break free from the undesired part of our reality. How can you destroy the undesirable reality of yesterday? Ask a destroyer from an "alternate universe". -Chaol is pointing at the door. Can you open it and create your own steps? Some rare days click for me where my thoughts pass through my mind and then into reality. I feel my thoughts synchronize with physical reality sorta like a dream. I'm still learning how to crawl, I can't wait to jump :) jumping in dreams sure is fun. |

But they are hard to ignore. I also struggled with how to combine what I have learnt from this thread and being a mother. I am not at all satisfied with the domestic duties and organizational aspects of being a parent, and I continue to send my kids to school where I know they are taught what to think, not how to think. I don't yet know how to live within this culture yet be not of it...except in my thoughts. I too feel like I am just waiting for something to happen. Something that will provide the impetus of change and new foundations for living my life, and guiding my children in a way which makes more sense than this current reality, and in a way that just feels right. Sometimes this cyber reality feels more real and meaningful than my waking life, it is comforting to know that others feel the same. Although I have never touched, seen or heard any contributors to this thread, you have all helped greatly expand my concept of me.

SpawnX User ID: 23530328 United States 09/24/2012 02:54 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... Quoting: Chaol You are nearing the end of physical perspective. (Or, it should be said, the brand of physicality you've gotten used to all these years.) It is time either for an entirely new perspective, or time to perish as things tend to when they've reached the fringes of relevance. I'm not talking about death and destruction (though every concept needs a logical narrative leading to it from your perspective, doesn't it?). I'm talking more about when the floor collapses beneath your feet, where will you stand? Which side of the equation do you choose? The choice is yours. If you haven't seriously considered the question in the first sentence above, I suppose you've already decided. There's not really anything more for me to say other than what I've already wrote here and in countless other posts. Choose to be someone else that you can logically be right now, or forever be an energy stuck in the current loop. It's not about them or that. It's about You. |

Why is everyone waiting for a change? The thing is, only you can discover the change even if its already changed, which of course it has. It doesn't seem like many of you have made change relevant enough to your lives. Chaol is only pointing out some possibilities, he can't make you experience them. Welcome the unexpected, as soon as you finish reading this, do something you don't usually do, think in ways you never have about what you usually don't. Most important is the "doing" as Chaol pointed out before. The doing is a result of your thoughts as your actions stem from intentions. Be the change, as fantasizing about it is resisting it.

I don't think any of us implied that we're relying on Chaol for these changes- just that we sense something different, and want something different. Your post reads more like a textbook than something that's applicable to the real world. I've found that making changes is messy business because reality has so many variables; it's not just me (at the moment). I can intend and do all I want, but the rest of the world has to catch up. And until they do, it's absolute chaos. Cat |

And I'm feeling really bad about this. So, here I am, waiting for 'something' to change the world so I can fit in it... And I don't know how I should feel about this. And you guys, why you are here? I'm also waiting for "something". I feel kind of lonely, because the one person I can talk about these thing (wife)is starting to look like she is having enough of me talking about GLP. Altough it's kind of funny being the weirdo of the family. I supose we'll have to wait. Same here. I feel like "my life is in standby" as well, for some years already. Some things start to go well though (since January I got my dream car (I know that's materialistic... ;-) ), and since a few weeks I got what comes close to my dream job). Same here, definitely feel that feeling of "something" coming. It has been repeated in my dreams to me over and over again as well. (and sometimes my dreams come true). It's an odd feeling being completely stuck and while at the same time feeling I can make very drastic, and great, positive changes in my life. Glad I'm not the only one, but birds of a feather flock together, even digitally. |

SpawnX User ID: 23530328 United States 09/24/2012 04:45 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Are most terrified of changing their own perspective? Surely, even if they think they want to experience this and that reality. Quoting: Chaol And so here we are. Running scared that our reality may be changed dramatically. That we may lift the veil, consciously, and redefine what it means to be "me". Really, we are afraid of not existing. And for this we often find a way to resist, fear, and try to find something wrong with it. You don't need to do what I prescribe to experience the dream world. You do it by yourself all the time, effortlessly. But to change the meaning of your current physicality requires that you do something that you probably do not want to do. This is neither bad nor good, of course. It's just something you can either do now or when you're dead. (And how many of us would fear, and see the last line as a threat?) What is Chaol's message here? (But to change the meaning of your current physicality requires that you do something that you probably do not want to do.) How would you apply the message to your perspective, to break free from solid surroundings, to redefine what it means to be "me".? Is this the change we feel coming?

Quoting: CatCarel I don't think any of us implied that we're relying on Chaol for these changes- just that we sense something different, and want something different. Your post reads more like a textbook than something that's applicable to the real world. I've found that making changes is messy business because reality has so many variables; it's not just me (at the moment). I can intend and do all I want, but the rest of the world has to catch up. And until they do, it's absolute chaos. I have some thoughts on applicable methods. One action that can help you obtain more control over your experiences is to actively control what you are feeling in any moment - using the feeling of appreciation or excitement as your anchor point. You can do this by recalling an experience you had which filled you with either of those emotions. Go beyond just remembering and try to re-experience it by feeling it also within your body - how it felt to laugh, how your body feels when excited, the surge of energy, the wide-awakeness, etc. Get to the point where you can re-immerse yourself in the experience of it. If you've had no experiences that you are able to do this with, then you can use imagination by conjuring up day dreams that excite you or watching a movie that excites you, gets you into a state of appreciation or excitement. You can even create a word or symbol that you look at when feeling this way until you've done it often enough that just looking at the symbol or thinking the word immediately brings the sensation of appreciation or excitement back. Eventually, you become so familiar with the sensation of either emotion, that you can recall it at will immediately without needing a symbol or the effort of recalling the past. Once in either emotional state, take a quiet moment to memorize the sensations you experience within your self - how it feels, like you are wearing a suit of excitement or appreciation. Like you are emitting an energy - become familiar with the sensation of it, it can be your anchor. This will become your predominant energetic state, and when you deviate from it, you will notice more quickly (as in be in conscious awareness of how you are reacting to things), and you will be able to bring yourself back to the preferred state quickly. Things brings you in control of your energy. This new energetic state will become your dominant state. When you deliberately bring yourself to it and focus on it, you will be making it stronger which will attract more of the same energy to you. Since at any time you could be emitting a complex arrangement of frequencies, this controlling of your predominant frequency would begin to influence others around you as they begin to resonate with that frequency. It would be like hitting a tuning fork and that tuning fork begins to make nearby tuning forks vibrate, although much less. If other tuning forks nearby are vibrating at a different frequency, they could influence the original tuning fork unless the original one is itself hit continuously so it can emit its own frequency. This makes sense more if you imagine yourself and every person to be a source of energy. You have the infinite spectrum of energy available to you and your system of beliefs is the filter that you place over this infinite energy to filter out all but what you believe. For example, someone can believe elves live in the center of the Earth, but you don't believe in elves or a hollow earth, so you filter out this energy. As the other person resonates with this belief, it cannot trigger a harmonic resonance within you, because your belief filter has blocked this frequency - there's no energy coming in at that particular frequency to resonate with. If you open yourself up to the possibility, then your filter may open a bit and you start perceiving information about elves or a hollow Earth. Then it is your choice whether to reject it or go with it (this is just a fun example). Every belief is a choice. Every interaction you have with anything is a reflection of a belief. All of it is attracted to you based on the energies you radiate. You stand at the center of your own universe. You can never truly know what anyone else perceives because all of what you perceive is you - your reflections. Interactions with other people are possible because at least part of your energies are in alignment - they resonate. Change this energy you are emitting, then the interaction changes. That's where the control of energy mentioned above comes in handy. Go back to this energy, change the way you respond to things you perceive based on how you would prefer to respond, not based on your reflexive reaction - this reaction is betraying a belief, a belief that you can change if you can recognize what it is. For instance, if you want to punch someone in the face because they tossed an insult at you, then let your imagination do it so the desire passes through you, then recall your anchor point emotion and proceed from there. This is your point of inspiration. Your inspiration will lead you where you want to go. |
