@BigBrainPhiloso it can become a vehicle instead of a prison. From that posture you are capable of something much more beautiful/generative to play out from said role.

[Podrock @Podrockz]

@BigBrainPhiloso if you can recognize that identity is just a costume your egoic clinging will relax and your awareness will expand. You no longer will feel a need to defend that identity - that will allow you to fully inhabit the role without being confined by it -

[Podrock @Podrockz]

@anna__albert Sometimes I instead ask - is this conditioning helpful or harmful. Is it expanding presence or keeping me stuck.

[Podrock @Podrockz]

@HephaistosF Would you describe this sensation or feeling as involuntary or unwanted thought patterns?

[Podrock @Podrockz]

@iamtexture I’d agree based solely on my exposure to this movie lol https://t.co/IpqxyFmAgU

[Podrock @Podrockz]

@HephaistosF That technique can get it through more email filters

@Serenity3000 @thematrixwizard Anxiety is just a mental projection into the future. However that future is pure illusion - a self-reinforcing loop of thought that neither predicts nor prevents reality imo. It may push you to take action but ime that action is usually much less skillful than w/out anxiety.

Letting go really is the final act of love huh? Then a new cycle starts 😌

@anna__albert This Poem hitting home this morning. reminds me of my pain‑body - an energy field feeding on negativity. When I identify with anger, resentment, lust, or guilt, I feed it & strengthen its hold. It craves drama, so I recreate conflict - even peace can feel empty when it’s active.

[Podrock @Podrockz]

@AnnaFalby Hmmm - For me awareness usually doesn’t dissolve distortions; it does typically help me not identify with them however.

I’ve found that sometimes disidentification alone makes dissolving said distortions less ‘necessary’.

[Podrock @Podrockz]

@leahprime A favorite quote of mine from the book the 4 agreements : “Your word can cast spells, not only to others, but especially to ourselves”

[Podrock @Podrockz]

@AnnaFalby Your post surfaced this quote for me:
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference

I've recently found a new sense of importance in these principles -this revelation was forged via suffering

[Podrock @Podrockz]

@ViktorBunin Yea time can def feel like it’s disappearing when moving from 1 to 2, drastically changing our capacities. Simply raising children with presence can be a profound accomplishment. Exploring different perspectives on what it means to be “accomplished” has been really helpful for me

@IkkyusDen @taijitu_sees @nobuhojimichaan lol-I'm not posturing for or against here. personally I am unbothered by your avatar. as long as one is very up front with their lineage and does not attempt to leverage said 'avatar' into adding extra 'power' for their transmissions [like tate for ex] I feel its nbd

[Podrock @Podrockz]

@IkkyusDen @taijitu_sees @nobuhojimichaan mmm I don’t see how blocking someone can be considered work -it’s usually the opposite, ime. I can understand why you wouldn’t feel his posture is /worthy/ of your time.

[Podrock @Podrockz]

@taijitu_sees @nobuhojimichaan @IkkyusDen ooo as someone who does network engineering as a day job I sorta get this analogy haha. fwiw I appreciate your recent 'perspective shock' thread and mb can align with feeling that such phenomena may have contributed to Ho Shun’s /failure/ to join Nobu’s frame.

[Podrock @Podrockz]

@taijitu_sees @nobuhojimichaan @IkkyusDen I can certainly understand how you interpreted some of the dialog as insults however, and maybe even why you cut off further 'analysis' as a result.

[Podrock @Podrockz]

@taijitu_sees @nobuhojimichaan @IkkyusDen I did read this thread [named it 'referenced post']. tbh I just didn't see any 'direct' insults. imo there was a bit of sarcasm from Ho Shun and 'accusations' from nobu
FMP - "I feel you are being disingenuous" - not a direct insult
vs - "you are disingenuous" - direct insult

[Podrock @Podrockz]

@taijitu_sees @nobuhojimichaan @IkkyusDen Oh yes - one thing nobu said: " i wasn't trying to understand IkkyusDen 'i just do' " has me assuming this 'understanding' is in regards to the very specific posture he's taken here rather than understanding him as a whole.

[Podrock @Podrockz]

@taijitu_sees @nobuhojimichaan @IkkyusDen Thanks for tagging me, both OP and the referenced post add a lot for me to meditate on. I'm not sure I have anything useful to add tho I will say I didn't see any /direct/ insults. I can see how defensiveness was interpreted by Taijitu.
