Meditational Musings

 Live in the reality you want to live in. This is a moment by moment thing. this is also how Neville Goddard's technique works. the idea is to live in the end state of it. In other words, moment to moment, live in that state of being. that feeling-state of how it feels in your body. What does the emotion of living in that state of being feel like in your body? Get past the idea of feeling the excitement of it. Get to a point of imaging what it feels like to have had it for a bit. Sort of like that time you got a new toy (a laptop, phone, car, computer, hobby or craft item, etc) and the novelty of it has sort of worn off a little. You still really like and enjoy it, but it's not that same 'brand new exciting' feeling. Daydream for a while about having that desire fulfilled, feel how having it - not getting it, but having it - feels in the body, then live in that reality as best as possible. The physical senses are sorta slow to catch up to internal being, since the exter...

 one of the basic freedoms you've been asking for when you think you want freedom is freedom from thinking.  not to say you want to follow someone else. no. not sheep or cattle, in that sense. freedom from the vast amount of thoughts attached to every desire. judgements, worries, fears, doubts, definitions. all of those are bars on freedom. that observer state, that is your freedom. maintaining your ability to turn your focus wherever you -want- to turn it, rather than having an emotion or thought grip your focus away from you, is what you want. (Do you -want- to be feeling fear? Hatred? Anger? Anxiety? You may think it a logical reaction to the person, place or situation you're observing, but do you -want- to feel it? If not, you use focus to move your attention to something else. How well can you focus? Amazingly well, if you retain your grasp of your focus. It's when the thoughts and emotions dictate your focus that you have difficulty, or end up having difficulty.)

 separate emotions and related thoughts away from your desire. the slow way to do that is to think about it long enough that the 'flavor' of it wears off, or the 'oomph' goes away. it no longer holds any emotion for you. the related thoughts could be done by redefining what the desire means and tracking down along the thread of every related thought/feeling mix. these ways are good. and they work. but slowly. the faster way to do this is to witness the desire from the observer role/position. notice the attachments and emotions and definitions from that neutral, compassionate space. then look back to the desire itself, without those associations. when the desire no longer controls your emotion/focus is when it come flow easiest to you. there's a lot of anxiety around the idea of letting go of a desire. it's not about letting -go- of it. It's about not reacting to the desire itself. Or, rather, it's about not reacting to the thought of -not- getting that d...
