4dbarbie reminder: Let everything be

Do not try to understand any more, just be. And let other things be as they are. Even if you're not happy about what you see, there is no way around it besides accepting it. As long as you fight it and try so hard & incessantly to change it, you're only giving it further reality. 1 Let all happen to you, try to control nothing, stop fighting the dream - just let go of your fear. Detach. 2

Misha: "I'd been working with the writer of that episode, who was a producer on the show as well, for a year on that scene. He did stick around. He was gonna leave the show for the final year but he was like 'if we can get this scene as the final scene for Castiel, then I'm gonna stick around for another year.' And I was like 'holy shit' because that's a really big devotion." (x)

luvcompass highlights: Surrender

･ ｡ﾟ☆: *. ♡ .* :☆ﾟ.･ ｡ﾟ☆: *. ♡ .* :☆ﾟ.･･ ｡ﾟ☆: *. ♡ .* :☆ﾟ.･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.♡ .* :☆ﾟ

We think that we are our mind/body (identity) and we try desperately to get away from "it" - that leads to questions like "How do I change my awareness?". By society, we're taught to make effort, try harder, do this, do that. But the funny thing is, what's required is "no" effort - the watercourse way - no effort from the side of the mind. Because "trying to change" is the equivalent of trying to fight a shadow. The identity is a shadow, it is not us. Analyze your mind briefly, and you will find that it is nothing but a byproduct of societal conditioning, peer opinions, books, movies, whatever content you've most willingly consumed. The mind is incessantly thinking 24/7, it never stops. It drags you into its each and every thought. It's not really you thinking, you are being thought. "I want to change my awareness" - who does? The mind? It is not even you. You merely believe it to be yourself, and let yourself get dragged away by the thought. How do we stop this? There's only one way: surrender. Stop fighting. You cannot fight a shadow, you will only look like a fool. When you surrender, you go beyond and you re-realize yourself. Surrender. Surrender to however you are, whatever state you are in. Surrender to whatever is going on, whether you believe it to be good or bad, it does not matter, because it is the mind putting these labels on it. Stop chasing, because there is nothing that you need to achieve. Not even awareness, because you already are. There is no need to "go beyond the mind" because you already are beyond it. Do not try to intellectually understand this, just accept it, because it is truth. Your blood is flowing now, but your mind is not controlling that. What is? Awareness. You are already aware. So leave it. You are perfect as you are, perfection, godliness, divine.

Highlights from “The mind”

[session 10 of “Keys to the ultimate freedom” by Lester Levenson]

♡ The mind is an instrument created by you to imagine the Oneness as chopped up and separated into many parts interrelated.

♡ The mind is simply the sum total composite of all thoughts.

♡ The mind becomes habitual.

♡ The subconscious mind is running us - making us the victims of habit.

♡ The thing that keeps us from recognizing and expressing our infinity is simply the mind, conscious and subconscious. If we are to express this infinite nature, we can do it only by getting behind this mind. When we reach the realm behind the mind we operate without thoughts, intuitively, and are in harmony with the whole universe.

♡ The direction is to still the mind. Quiet the mind and you'll see your infinity right there.

♡ Just let go of the mind completely and what's left over is your infinite beingness, all knowing, all powerful, everywhere present.

♡ Were we to direct all our energies to stilling our mind, we would soon be realized.

♡ You feel as good as your mind is quiet.

♡ Your mind is an instrument used to identify your real Self with your body and world.

♡ If you do not identify with your body or mind, neither your body not your thoughts will effect you.

♡ In this dream-illusion there's a thing called thought. And thought determines and is the cause of all matter.

♡ In your imagination you have written and projected a cinema show of acts, actors and audiences on a screen and have lost sight of the fact that it is all in your imagination, your mind. Discover this and you discover the absolute Truth.

♡ The world and universe are a mental concoction.

♡ A thought is an assumption of lack causing a wish to fulfill it.

♡ All thoughts are of non-truth.

♡ You've got to use the mind to quiet the mind. You need to use determination to still it.

♡ Without concentrated mind, progress is relatively small.

♡ A wandering, wavering mind is one that dissipates one's energy in the form of many thoughts. Hold one thought and the energy is less dissipated and more conserved.

♡ Direct this conserved energy toward the Self. 

♡ In the beginning the mind pursues the Self intermittently between long intervals. As one continues, the intervals shorten. .Toward the end, the mind is constant in the pursuit and does not wander from it.

♡ The more you eliminate mind, the more peace you feel.

♡ The mind will never discover the Self because the mind is the cover-up over the Self. It's only by letting go of the mind that the Self is seen. You get the mind quiet enough to allow your Self to be obvious to you so that you may use It to let go of the mind.

♡ Eliminating what you are not is growth.

♡ Every mind uses the very same unlimited intelligence. Everyone uses it as much as he believes he can use it to fulfill his desires. When he learns that his mental limitations are self imposed, he lets go of them. Then his intelligence (I. Q.) can be raised to the degree that he knows he has no limits.

♡ We are all in the same mind and the only thing that keeps us from reading the other one is that our attention is too centered on our own little self.

♡ All minds are influencing each other.

♡ Thoughts smother the capacity to be happy.

♡ Anything man can think can be.

♡ The ego-mind struggles for survival and tries to subvert your direction.

♡ The mind cannot give the ultimate answer because it's part of the ego, part of our limitation.

♡ When the Self, which is just behind the mind, is discovered, you see that the mind is limited and let go of it.

♡ Where is the world without your mind? Is there such a thing as world when you submerge the mind? The thought of the world creates it. This whole solid universe that you mentally say is a solid universe is just your thought that it is a solid universe.

♡ Anything your mind is absolutely convinced of materializes instantly.

♡ Mind can do anything with the body.

♡ Every thought is motivated by a desire for pleasure or an aversion to pain.

♡ Letting go of all attachments and aversions is letting go of all your thoughts.

♡ The only thing we are aware of is our own thoughts.

♡ What we're seeing out there is our own mind.

♡ The mind can be made quiet wherever you are. The place to do it is right where you are.

♡ As mind gets quiet, first the sense of havingness decreases until a measure of security is felt. It becomes less necessary to have in order to be. Then the sense of doership decreases until a further security is felt in that one is not the real doer, that the real doer is a higher power, that one can actually be with much less doing and it becomes less necessary to do in order to be. Finally your real Self that has always been in the background steps in and takes over and you feel that there is nothing necessary any more that you must have or do, that there is no choice but to only be!

♡ Unless we're eliminating the mind, unless we're eliminating ego, we're not progressing.

♡ The more we keep looking into the mind, the quieter we become.

♡ If I am separate then there has to be others, he, she and it. And you start dividing up the One by first becoming an individual separate from It. Thought first divides and separates you from the One Beingness, and then creates a multitude of beings and things and all the relationships. It's all your thought, that's all it is.

METHODS OF MIND REVELATION

♡ See the source of the mind and you will find your Self.

♡ Turn the mind back upon the mind and it will reveal its secrets.

♡ Eliminate the ego. The ego thinks and causes all thought. The ego is the identifier of the Self as the body.

♡ Surrender the mind to God.

♡ The mind must be eliminated permanently by realizing that it is not real but only an apparency, an illusion that has its source in your Self.

♡ Where there is only subject and no object, there the Self is.

Some quick, potentially controversial thoughts on Fiyero

I get that he's 'supposed to have a heart of gold' and everything, and that he's dissociating and putting up a facade

BUT

That attitude of 'dancing through life' and 'living the unexamined life' is such a poisonous one if you adopt it, and one that he can have as this white, essential frat boy in a position of privilege

You think Elphaba doesn't also wish she could dance through life, ignore the stress of the world around her? Of course! So does everyone! But not everyone is in a position where you can do that, especially if you are living in a world where that stress is directly impacting your ability to live and your quality of life

So many people choose ignorance over knowledge, choose to ignore the world around them because it's hard to think about. And yes, you cannot let the stress of the world consume you. But you also cannot just shut it out. Because that is how you end up with people who are in positions of power who have no idea how the world actually works because they're living in their isolated little bubbles. It's hard, but seeing the shittiness of life is vital to improving it.

I'm not saying that Fiyero is bad, but that attitude certainly is

Anyways. I think the song has the potential to talk about multiple different issues, it doesn't just have to be that Fiyero is dissociating, there can be more going on.

4dbarbie highlights: Unclutter your mind

Drop the false ideas first and watch. After what keeps you stuck goes, you can do whatever you want. You can think the ugliest thoughts and nothing will happen if you know yourself as who you are. It's your identification with the thought that causes the thought to be true. 1

The guilt is because you think you're running out of time and you need to change "your" life now. Be patient with yourself because you don't lose any time, just get to that place I'm telling you about and then you can just go back in time if you so wish. All worry is pointless! And there is nothing to fear, things just happen, do not claim them as yours for a while. Unclutter your mind, it becomes your servant after you've freed it enough. 2

All you need is to get rid of the tendency to define your self. All definitions apply to your body only and to its expressions. Once this obsession with the body goes, you will revert to your natural state, spontaneously and effortlessly. 3
