People mistake mood for conviction all the time.
Someone can swear they'll never leave, never forgive, never change, then feel differently a week later.
Feelings are real. They just aren't always final. Don't build your life around emotional words. Watch for consistent actions.
It’s not the commitment you make that matters it’s the recommitment you make over and over again.

Bigger. Better. Stronger.
There are only patterns. Patterns on top of patterns, patterns affecting other patterns. Patterns hidden by patterns, patterns within patterns. What we call chaos is just pattern we haven’t recognized yet. What we call random is just pattern we can’t decipher.

Why don't you need to own the storyline and the characters in the storyline?
It's really simple. The storyline is your own energetic patterning. The all-powerful country is your own energetic patterning. The mighty universe is your own energetic patterning. The entire history that seems to span eons of lifetimes is your own energetic patterning. Let's go down to the very basic, the seeming space and time is your own energetic patterning. All seeming births and deaths is your own energetic patterning. Don't be jealous, the richest trillionaire is nothing but your own energetic patterning. The most beautiful persons are your own energetic patterning. All there is - is your SELF vibrating.
That's why you don't need to own anything. Because everything is already SELF by default. The idea of ownership is just a myth. The sense of jealousy is delusional.
