hello

[what-does-the-moose-say]

So blown away by how sort of faced paced Severance is. It is not rushed at all but things are moving so much faster than I thought. Every episode feels like a tiny bomb.

I need to buy a rock to make me feel better. Does anyone have suggestions

[changethecircumstances]

Bought elden ring on another platform so I can trophy hunt again before the dlc comes out. First playthrough I ever did was int and I ended with dual wielding katanas. I've played a faith build a blood build a quality build and a straight up bonk build. I think I want to do int again but int strength rather than dex with my goal being the dark moon great sword. I've messed around with it but haven't mained it in any one playthrough

I am quickly becoming addicted to the pokemon home gts. The wonder box. I need it.

I think the og browns look better on boba yeah, maybe you could have both of them have a piece of the others colour? Somethimg small like a pink bracelet on boba and an orange brooch on val or something - but something thats consistent with their designs

I think it was easy to mix in more orange in Val's design because she already had some yellows to work with (since she's a red velvet shake, she used some very very light yellow that I just had to darken and distribute a bit more in her design).

But it's harder to mix in pink with Boba because he already has a cohesive palette and introducing new pinks or deep reds would be ruining the analogous palette he already has (since hes mostly made up of oranges, yellows, and browns). And adding in a single pink accessory would be too out of place and jarring imo. I'm probably going to stick with the old palette.

I think the browns on his jacket already connect him with Val (she has some dark reds that match well enough)!

If anything, the only change I might make will be saturating his yellows (like on his nose, mouth and eyes) since the original mixes in with the darker parts on his skin a bit too much for my liking..!

HOLY CRAP!!!

Okay so I recently saw Keleigh’s insta story say that she was in Idaho. I live in Washington. Cool right.

It gets better.

I work at a local owned grocery store that is ready to get a new building. Im helping spirits(our hard alcohol) and with the schematics for the new store.

I saw long drink on the schematics….

IM SECRETLY HOPING HIS IS GOING TO THE STORES THAT ARE CARRYING IT TO SEE THE SET UP OR SOMETHIMG BECAUSE IF HE DOES I MIGHT HAVE A PANIC ATTACK IF I MEET HIM IRL

I AM SHAKING RN

I love this so much! You're getting Long Drink! And it looks like he is going back out to do meet and greets for Long Drink! LINK So it could happen??

Hello kelly! 🫶

When i ask my mind "can I let go of this fear of XYZ happening to the body-mind" it often feels scared of doing so. The body starts reacting with anxiety about the thought of me letting go of the my fear of XYZ. There is this false sense of control telling me: "If you let go of the fear of XYZ, if you dont keep it in mind, you will not avoid the actions that may lead to XYZ and you'll end up experiencing what you fear, let me do this to prevent it from happening, let me affirm it wont happen, let me manifest somethimg that prevents it from happening etc".

I know it's a false sense of control, fear arises when I ask myself to let go of this anxiety about the future and this specific incident (XYZ) happening to this body-mind. Its been a few months of fighting this fear but it only grows. I think I tried everything that came my way.

Often I will try to observe and let the thoughts pass, is everything the mind thinks of so true anyways? I will experience a few minutes of peace before I'm caught up in the tangles of my mind again, before I'm again saying this and that and avoiding this and that to avoid a specific incident from happening to this mind-body.

I wanna calm my mind down and let my ego know that it's okay if I let go, sometimes I will feel like I need some conformation that it's safe to let go. That if I act however I want, let go of the fear and ignore all these "rules" I forced myself to follow that I will still be okay and that this body-mind will not experience what it fears in the future. I feel like the missing piece would be to actually understand the point of letting go of a problem, does this problem actually disappear when I stop giving attention to it? Will the body-mind actually not experience the fear when I as self let go or this fear and break all the rules that "keep me safe"? I know self would be okay in some sense but what about the body?

Or does it anyways happen to the body-mind and there is nothing I can do to stop it from happening to this body-mind and I'm just letting go for my own peace?

I'm kinda new to this (been 1.5 months of me reading and trying to apply, succeeding sometimes and failing sometimes), I'm still learning but I'm not sure if I really get the concept of "not giving so much attention to a problem"..does it then cease to exist? Or is it just so that it doesn't impact me mentally as much (I'm not belittling this outcome, I'd love to have this outcome anyways) I know its very foolish to only let go of fear out of hope that this is the way to prevent any incident from happening but a part of me asks for an obvious answer telling me that this body-mind will not encounter what I'm fearing if I let go of the fear.

I see this type of question often getting answered with "You're not the body-mind, whatever happens to it isn't happening to you" but what if i would prefer if the body-mind didn't experience XYZ, do I have any type of control over that? Will letting go offer safety for the body and will it help this body-mind not experience its fear with the senses/ "in the 3D" ?

If I let go of this worry and decide I don't even have to replace it with peace, if I choose to completely cut ties with how the body-mind is suffering with this and how it's very fearful and decide that I will treat this fear the way I treat the fear of a friend or a character in a movie I'm watching, with empathy but without dwelling on it, while being so grateful it isnt really my problem to deal with. Will I in some way prevent it from happening to the body-mind? I experienced freedom from this feeling for almost 3 times now, all lasted for only a few minutes..but they were a cool breeze I wanted to make my default state. I'm not sure how to however. And I'm also not sure if it could prevent anything from happening to this body-mind but I sure know I hope it does.

And generally do you have any advice for me other than to observe the thoughts and let them pass since this has a very temporary effect on me? Is there any other path I can experiment with to let go of my fearful thoughts?

Thanks in advance, I'd definitely appreciate it if you answered this since what you say often seems to be aligning with me/understandable the most but it's up to you if you didn't feel like you want to. Hope you're always well, Kelly :)

Two of my recent posts should help as other anons have similar concerns: here and here. Whatever I don't respond to in your ask has been covered by these.

So don't fight it. Let it be. Read the two posts I linked above and apply.

No, none of it is true until you assign it truth. This is why sadhana is necessary, so you learn to separate yourself from your mind.

Your thoughts, beliefs and sense of identity are intangible, arbitrarily constructed and constantly changing. Yet they seem so very real and you invest them with a tremendous sense of ownership and 'my-ness'. In our minds we create a whole subjective world, which we then superimpose on the objective world and mistake for reality. Most people are unable to separate the objective world from their subjective interpretation of it. That's why identification with mind and thought can be even harder to break than identification with body. Mithya, which is simply a configuration of name and form, always relies upon satya for its existence. The ability to differentiate between satya and mithya is crucial to liberating the mind. Confusing satya and mithya is the root of all our sorrows. By a process of mutual superimposition, we superimpose the quality of satya (existence) onto an object, believing that the object itself possesses an inherent existence of its own rather than a temporary, borrowed existence. At the same time, we superimpose the qualities of mithya (name/form) onto satya (existence). That's why we take the body and mind's attributes to belong to the Self. Like the clear water which, due to its proximity to the red glass bottle, appears to be red, the Self then appears to possess the properties of the body and mind. That's why we say, "I am happy," "I am sad," "I am fat," "I am thin." This is an error of perception caused by ignorance. As Krishna said, the Self is free of all attributes, and without limit or objectification. If the Self is limitless and without attribute, how could it - how could you possibly be happy, sad, fat, or thin? As long as you identify with the body or mind, you are subject to its miseries. But the moment you shift your identity from mithya to satya, from the body and mind to awareness, you are freed of all limitation.

Does this problem actually disappear when I stop giving attention to it? Will the body-mind actually not experience the fear when I as self let go or this fear and break all the rules that "keep me safe"? I know self would be okay in some sense but what about the body?

Suppressing attention and ignoring something that you believe to be a problem will not make it disappear; you've just pushed it to the back of your mind. Actually letting go and no longer seeing it as a problem or fearing it will dissipate it - you cannot lie to yourself so be honest with yourself. The how-to is in the posts I linked above.

Will I in some way prevent it from happening to the body-mind? I experienced freedom from this feeling for almost 3 times now, all lasted for only a few minutes

You just answered your own question. Some people can do what you're describing and genuinely stop seeing it as a problem but you have already tried and it didn't last because you weren't able to truly let go and stop giving it truth and reality. So try letting go another way (linked posts above).

And generally do you have any advice for me other than to observe the thoughts and let them pass since this has a very temporary effect on me? Is there any other path I can experiment with to let go of my fearful thoughts?

Yes, read the two linked posts and apply. That's the advice I offer you and anyone else with similar concerns. Release the fears and see them gone. Free yourself.

Fires NO

Was up with a real bad chest pain flare up last night so please express your deepest sympathies and also monsters to me

[notmecreatinganopsideblog]

The new chapter was suuuuper good 🤖👨‍🦱. I thought the moment where Luffy called down to Zoro to ask if he needed a hand was really interesting. Like here Luffy is, fighting a fucking Admiral, one who previously fucked up all his and his crews shit, and he takes the time to check in on Zoro. I feel like typically Luffy doesn't feel the need to interfere on fights his crew is having, especially if it's Zoro or Sanji. Yet, despite him already fighting an incredibly strong enemy he does so. Maybe I'm reading into it, but I kinda feel like this says somethimg about just how traumatizing the fight with Lucci was. Luffy has fought harder enemies at this point but I think Lucci was in many ways the first time Luffy began to realize he and the crew needed to get stronger. Its also interesting to note that he initially went gear 4 for Kizaru but went immediately gear 5 meeting Lucci again for the first time. Also also (I'm not normal about one piece) Luffy checking on Zoro is an interesting little moment of protective Luffy that really parallels the moment where Kizaru grabs Usopp and we see Luffy get concerned. I feel like Luffy worrying about his crew in these moments is interesting especially since egghead is clearly a foil (a reprise perhaps) narratively to Sabody. Like I said maybe I'm overthinking it but I did find it an interesting little moment.

Good chapter. Crying about the break 😭

[treecakes]

[tf2journalist]

[haechanflower]

I'm always happy about new nct music cause I alsways love it but at the same time i'm always mad when I get the notification they have an upcoming comeback again

They have SO MANY like....that's actually insane

And when you think about mark and haechan

That's really fucked up

We had haechan with heart problems at the start of the year and I think I've read somethimg about mark having blood problems so

They are SICK

And still

Candy, smcu album + concerts, 127 + dream tour, 2 baddies, ay-yo, istj, marks nct lab songs, the 127 Album in Oktober + repackage cause it's a full album and sm ALWAYS makes repackages, nct 2023 and nct nation concert

I think I even forgot some things like man they don't get a minute of rest

sme needs better time management and I think it would be better if they leave one of the units both are too much

And wayv? They're in the badement or what

And we don't even talk about sungtaro when they were still in nct 💀

My little sister (13) has gotten into art so now we do an art trade every week and give eachother pointers :) It's awoken 2 things in me. 1, second hand embarrassment at what it was like doing edgy art at 13, and 2, a new appreciation of how cruel 13 year olds are when they enjoy somethimg

[edmarienism]

Even if felvin broke up edvin wouldnt have done somethimg like that so soon and so public after(omar is not unknown nike) and omar (who is also felicias friend mind you) wouldnt do something like that to hurt her. So the only explanation is that they're all good and all that was just friendly and full of love(just not the one fans are hoping for) and them being cought in the moment and carried on by the fans in public going nuts, which made them act even more crazy. When the energy is that high you innevitably step up too. And every time omar looked at edvin fans noticed and started screaming more, which peompted him to do it more often. Also like it or not omr beauty is coming soon with either a new product by them or a new campaign for duo. There is a say, you see what you want to see, so and make everything fit so that you're conviction is turned into reality,trying to give whatever meaning is necesary for what you see just to fit your narrative

don't be naive anon. u're talking bullshit
