Sarah Maria:

I thought i should tell about my experiences ......

There is no need to tell individual thoughts comming in mind but the patterns of thoughts thats is comming and going.

I started observing my own thoughts ..........
I noticed the following things ......

1.99% of time any thought which pops up in my mind is actually happening by itself...
2.The reaction to the thought is happening in the body by itself
3.If you observe these above 2 sequences then you see that the reaction thought is also calming down by itself......(most of the time)
4.I was amazed how the mind thinking process is happening even though you don't want it most of the time. But you are only fooled to think that you are actually involved in all of this process..

You asked the reader these questions........
What ideas about yourself are you holding on to? Do you have beliefs such as:

"I always eat too much over the holidays" or

"I always get tired during the winter time" or

"I am a very indecisive person"

To be honest i too get these kinds of thoughts. But now only the difference is i am observing all these happening in my mind.
And i came to notice that most of these thoughts are just comes up automatically by external events happening around or internal memories in my mind from past events.......

So when i started looking at the whole pattern of thinking process, including before a thought came, during the thought process and its reaction in the body ...
after some time i realized that it would be foolish to take these thoughts as very serious and as myself.
But one important thing now is i am still able to take right decisionsis because i am watching all these events.

Hope i didn't confused you....:))

Thanks

Hi Sarah,
Infinite players don’t have beliefs they speak of possibility, probability, and knowing through direct experience. Just thought I would make that point the idea is a bit foreign to most.
This insight below wasn’t going to leave me alone until I wrote it, so here it is.
What happens is we have a dissonant feeling in the present moment. The narrator in our mind will then begin to explain the cause of the feeling we are having in the present, as being due to something in the past, distracting us from the present.
We cannot change the past which blocks us from being able to change the feeling in the present. The truth is the dissonant feeling does not come from the past it comes from what we are doing or not doing in the present moment. I suspect the dissonant feeling itself is produced by an unconscious awareness of some truth that we need to bring to our conscious awareness, or at least simply go with flow and natural impulses.
So what we need to do or not do is that which will resonate, right action in the present moment and that feeling that disturbs us will go away and we will simply feel resonant.
For example we might feel anxious, but as soon as we are doing what we need to be doing or tending to what has presented itself to be done in the present moment the anxiety goes away.
Perhaps this is also pertinent

What a beautiful name! Sarah Maria

Hello Sarah!

Tonight I was thinking about you, while I was walking, freezing under -26C. Yes, thinking about you. During that walk I was seeing a purer love-reality under an idea ready for expression. After looking to that hided-love-self, I was able to see another purer love-reality hided.

I do not believe in evolution theories but yes to changes, even if I have problems with it. I believe in reverse-engineering of the present state to pure-love human-being and unseeing misteries.

The path toward that direction is difficult because of the actual state of my being and constant-legal social-intoxication influences(but hey! we have to fight to win our bread, no? pffff!) So, let's break natural states and let's make some money. Let's make money to break it and let's make money to repair it!

What's the problem with that? It's the only thing we need to survive! pffff!

I needed to talk... you are the one to understand my state, maybe! Yes, I think you are the one.... so....

Do you dream about paradise?
Hey! Do you dream in circle
Are you turning yourself around paradise?

I wish to end that cycle
Yes, you hear me
I want to stop to dream in paradise!

No one knows
No one
Where is this paradise

If I was listening to me I could say
I am coming from that Globality
And right now
I am localized in front of you

Please, no,
No, stop
Put away that book or the others

I am not a tool for your global-fantasies
I am manifested-local
I am a natural-tool shaped for local-activies

Now I want to escape to our glocal-timeless-paradise...

Dear Sarah,
I think that this fear of letting go,and our deep desire to hold on a particular image of ourselves,arises out of the judgements which we make of what the people around us will think of us.I amoften remided of what a friend told me,we are all Spiritual beings,having human experiences.The problem arises when we get ourselves involved in these Human experiences and take them for real.If one were to take them as a experience and look at them from a distance they would not enangle us.Unfortunately,we not only get ourselves entangled but also fear of situation if all entanglements were to be removed.I am told that when Lord Rama came to know of Sita's kidnapping by Ravana,he lost his temper,and wanted to use his supernatural powers.It was his sage Guru Vashistha who told him to distance himself from the situation and let the way of God play out.Being a follower of Sikh religion,I am constantly reminded of what our Gurus tried to teach us by self example.Even if they were made to suffer,they continued to praise the Lord.May He grant us the wisdom so that we can see through this maze of disillusionment.
With best wishes,
A S Rai

Hi Sarah

I believe that possibilities for the future of who I can be are limitless. Its only limited if I will it to be. So, if I think I am fat I shall always be fat!

How often do I have the time to introspect and question myself on what I think I am? The answer is not very often.

When I read your post - I had to think about the question you asked...!!! I think that most people know subconciously who they are. As soon as you make a conscious effort to question your own beliefs about the self, possibilities become infinite.

Hi, I am bluesage of blue.sage@comcast.net. I ended up here because I was trying to reach Depak Chopra. After reading Chopra and Eckhart Tolle this year, I achieved enlightenment. I also took action. Now Im living in a high rise on Florida Beach. My rent is paid six months in advance, and best of all, I'm living in the present moment. I make love all the time, to the same man. (He waited two years). And I am happy for the first time in many years. I was ready for Eckhart Tolle and Depak Chopra. I wanted to tell him (Chopra) that reading his book (Seven Spiritual Secrets) made we feel like a beautiful bird who suddenly heard a distant cry and without hesitation, flew in its direction. All the while, I flew on his fluid inspiration, through the air; and, the place that I have landed, is so wonderful and I am happy, happy in that risk taking mode, happy in the present moment, where every moment is brand new. So, be good all you children of the light, there is cool water and paradise at the end of your desert journey. Do not fear rejection, but be humble. Remember, "When the world hates you, rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for it means you belong to the spirit." I so much want to thank him. Couldn't someone have him e-mail me. God Bless. Dianne

The window-train is such a clear moving-pictures
http://www.intentblog.com/archives/2008/12/open_thread_158.html#comment-190444

I am closing the eyes, seeking something and dreaming
Dreaming for unconscious-realities within

On my right side-window, a spinning-punch right in my ribs
Faking to open an eye and waiting
Another spinning-punch followed

She took my hand, straight
I was paralyzed by her force-expression
My mouth without a word

Can you hear it? Do you hear it?, she said
What do you mean?
Her hand was forcing a quick-answer from me

Well, I hear the train rolling the rails
chu-chu chu-chu
and ....

Do you feel we are going faster? she ask expressively
Quick, do you feel it?
No no no... I feel nothing

She looked at me with force and inner-connection
Don't quit my hand, please
We are going faster than the train

A remember some last inner-words
Taking a last shot by the window:
"This place is paradisiac"...

Me, and my spiritual cows

I want to write about this stuff until the cows come home. I never get tire of chewing the same cud. If you see my cows tell them to hurry, I need company. Sitting on my porch, I scan the horizon looking for my herd, but there is no horizon to be seen in this rain, and of course, no cows. Maybe, I own no cows. Maybe, I'm a cow who loves to chew its cud, and pretend it owns a herd.

SM,

Surrendering old perceptions is fine,but why to form newer perceptions?

I feel, my true self is not my self image and it does not change and it is certainly not fluid.

If I can truly realize my true self, then I am very fortunate.

It is your mind which is talking and so is everyone writing so many words on spirituality.

The day I get truly spiritual, I will stop writing as my mind will be very silent.

I will not write books and I will not preach to the world as I will not like to influence any body's mind.

I will of course answer questions to one who has the latent hunger to know more on spirituality.

But no amount of acquired knowledge can bring spirituality to you or me or anybody.

Yes dear Sarah, am keeping up :)

Herewith a Christmas and New Year's wish to all that just happened and turned from nothing into something and after the snow was gone the fir branches still were there becoming one with nature again :)

One that is "keeping up" may have spent some of their attention on "UPcoming"

It's all about you and the Great Phenomena that will unfold. The Up and coming on the event horizon.

Click my name.

The probability is that those who are really keeping up with the Technosocio Evolution have a Twitter account and will soon become very special agents in the manifold increase in awareness.

Hi Richard,

You are what we call in our Dutch language a "duizendpoot". Let's see if I have a proper translation for that into the English language: "a centipede" or a "Jack of all trades"

:)

Thank you so much for all your webpages. It will take the rest of my life to read them all!

Yes, perhaps Twitter will become the next very best thing!

Lots of love and appreciation of your work!!

Sincerely, happy holy days throughout the year!

Mieke

...Naked in front of root-cause You

There is no other who deserves all of the praise,
No other, we worship (this) "You" today

Two hearts in sync
Who is who?

You are high and lifted up in this place
You are high and lifted up today...
