Be real with yourself.
Commit to authenticity.
Again and again.

@AmodaMaa In usual ‘giving up’ we still want something. Surrender is the floor falling out from under all want and thought.

[Jason Rasmussen @jrbluefire71]

All the power in this world comes from thoughts that are believed in. I am examining what is belief, feeling belief.

The belief in Jason vs the total disinterest in thoughts.

@NeelamFoT Old habits of imagined landings - dissolve.

[Jason Rasmussen @jrbluefire71]

Relaxation is possible

@ecstatic_0 The fears and attachments, push and pull, are so old and familiar at first it’s hard to notice them. Thankfully life gives us stuff to start with.

@AmodaMaa “How we experience ourselves.”

[Jason Rasmussen @jrbluefire71]

The ego, this imagined personal self, is supported by series of secondary beliefs about how “I” do things, how I usually respond to events. As the ego is watched these support structures become more visible.

[Jason Rasmussen @jrbluefire71]

When I am frustrated with something I can notice my allegiance to expectations. These expectations are just imagined. Yet I take them so seriously. There is an emotional energy behind the expectations, fear or something like that.

[Jason Rasmussen @jrbluefire71]

What is behind ‘me’? What’s the feeling and energy that gives life to the feeling of me?

[Temet Nosce @GnothiSea]

The wisest thing for one to do is to catch hold of leading thought, the ‘I’-thought, and dissect it – who and what it is – giving thereby no chance to other thoughts to distract one.

I have so many ideas about how things should be. When I walk into a forest am I enraged because a tree is not straight enough? Why do I believe my expectations?

@ecstatic_0 I can watch my mind say that "this is not how it should be" shouldn't be that way. Clouds

In between there are gaps. In between sentences, in between words. Gaps growing larger. These words celebrate the gaps.

[Jason Rasmussen @jrbluefire71]

Is this me? Pushing the ‘Next’ button?

[Jason Rasmussen @jrbluefire71]

Relax me and mine
Relax next
