Mental Obsession Discussion / Emotional Sobriety / Spiritual Malady
Our discussion is not partisan or an academic or scientific thesis, medical diagnosis, prognosis, philosophy, prescription, discipline, or treatment. Based on experience we do not propose or oppose any person, place, or thing: real or imagined - nor is our discourse promoting rituals or any religious service. Listening is a demonstration of interest and not a replacement for taking direction from responsible parties you rely on or are under the care of including professionals. Consideration is a contemplative awakened meditation. An Absolute State of Knowing Awareness is simple as it does not change. To think thoughts can change nature’s essence is a mistake we are free to make. Mental disorders like anxious disorders reflect this mis-formed, misinformed thinking. Shrinking from rather than facing backward choices increases their dramatic impact. Insisting on resisting mental effects creates pressure that is depressing - insuring they persist. We Know We Know and are Aware We are Aware. There is no wrong, fight, fear, lies, ego or insanity in Truth as Reality. Our natural Essence is essential and how we know so well when something’s wrong. Anxiety is stress from thoughts under pressure. Pain is evidence something’s wrong. Trying to feel better about or get over reactive, impulsive or compulsive urges makes matters worse. Obsessive thoughts are sick choices we can think condemn us. Choices are the will to want. The right to freely think does not make what we think right. Like them or not consequences reflect our thoughts as a mirror reflects images. Talking and thinking to our thoughts creates more thoughts thinking of themselves - not our self. Thinking defines what we think not who or what we are. Choices to think are actions we take, something we do. We cannot be what we do even while imagining thoughts are true and create “our own” reality. To any degree untrue thoughts are believed true we lie and manifest unhealthy, ill-at-ease, inner-conflicted emotional turmoil. Lies effects will appear to happen to us whenever we irresponsibly act like we have nothing to do with them. Feeling lonely is an accurate assessment of disconnected, baseless thinking. To think we have no choice is the suicidal death wish there is nothing we can do about them - as though we don’t exist. To create a cause and deny the effect is how the vicious mental cycle of obsessive thoughts - central to all symptomatic addictions as compulsive behaviors - chronically restarts. I'm no Einstein, but Albert was and along with many other notables he said: “You cannot fix a problem with the same thinking that created it.” Symptomatic recovery does not cure the obsessive mental illness - it clears the looking glass so the problem can be seen. Emotional sobriety is sane living. Wrong as wrong is right. Resting in Peace on earth does not require we first be buried in it. Little, if any, belief, faith, hope, or trust in what is Absolute is required since any reliance on the stability of Reality is confirmed as applied now. Awe and inspiration are the actualization and realization that all that is possible is happening here, now, for all that is and all that are - always in all ways. Thoughts naturally align with our knowing awareness even while the obsession to pretend, they won’t and don’t, seems to consume our thinking’s attention. Stability like serenity is assured to express the abundance of our essential loving essence. This assurance remains even when we feel lost in tangled thoughts thinking otherwise. Think about That. Knowing’s nature is Absolute - it is neither negotiable, occasional or optional. There is no doubt where there is no question. Sanity is the natural human state of thought as a product of Truth as Reality.
Episodes
The contagion of mentally obsessive thinking is not carried by bacteria or viruses but toxic silence when thoughtful but not always welcome words could help, or by speaking up with words that reinforce the sick thoughtlessness of this induced mental state. The imposition of this addiction is not a state of Mind but of a brain that has been mis-used and abused by imagining it is the creator of reality and truth ...
Obsessive thinking does not hear what is said but what is thought to be said. Nor does it see what is visibly clear but only what is thought to be seen. To hear and see things that don’t exist is well defined as insanity. Definitions are explicit. Connotations are used to claim semantics reduce our culpability.
Thinking about our self is a hallmark of so-called selfish, self centered, self serving problems. To ...

Our focus is principled so each episode reflects the immediate peace and stability of our Ever-Present Knowing Awareness that clarifies conflicted impressions manifest by the instability and hyper-reactivity of obsessive thoughts purely induced, “imagined reality”.

If we can talk about waiting for a sign while ignoring the signs we’re given we can also begin to notice the clarity of our feelings accurately assessing our thoughts. Displaced thought causes the sensation of not belonging and having no place or purpose. To imagine thought as reality then thinking we have no other option is an indication we are aware that Reality is Real and not optional. To think this form of...

"The horizon of many people is a circle with a radius of zero. They call this their point of view."
Albert Einstein.
It is not a loss of memory but the lack of human perspective we suffer by imagining all that we are is the subject of subjective thought. A dimension of zero has no perspective in space and time - so any imagined self has no value, awareness, or place since it has no life being wholly i...
" Evil destroys even itself."
Aristotle.
" Experience is not what happens to you; it is what you do with what happens to you."
Aldous Huxley
The word evil is live, and devil is lived spelled backward. Lies are backward forms of thought imagining false is true or truth is false. Whenever we choose to think this way inner conflict, emotional turmoil, and mental anguish indicate we know someth...

Having to do something is a very different experience than having something to do. Our approach determines whether our landing is safe or not. How and what we think are choices. That we think is simply something we do. We cannot be what we do any more than we can do more to Be. To be or not to be still seems to be the question begging, pleading, and praying for an answer. Seeking more can never be enough to...
It is not negative to share thoughts. Negating freely chosen thoughts creates the impression we are not free as long as mentality is thought of as reality. Ego's modern definition is a false self. What is false has no basis in reality. To think that it does lines up with the common idea that ego is an overtly grandiose entity that acts on us in unexpected ways. This modern formalization of ego as real,...
Thinking that thought will get us there is to think we are not here. If we are here there is no then or there to get nor is there any more or less of this, or that, to have. To not have what we have is to think we have to have something else, somewhere else that is "not there" while it is thought that is lacking. Feeling like we have no place, belonging nowhere, is a common effect of obsessive thinkin...
The idea that imagination can be turned into reality is the delusion that reality is make-believe. If Reality and Truth are Absolute then there is nothing missing. Scarce thoughts cannot conceive of abundance.

“ A great problem in our world is that intelligent people are full of doubt while ignorant people are full of confidence. ”
Charles Bukowski
Ignoring that which is happening is not intelligent; it is the root of ignorance.
That which is happening as it happens is very different than asking why, where, when, what, and how things happening could or should possibly be happening. Witnessing something happen and th...
