MOD episodes have no shelf-life or expiration date.  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.

Free choice is the freedom to choose anything, everything, and nothing. Simply because we have the right to think what we want doesn’t make what we think right. Choice is the will to want even  enough is never enough. Not choosing is a principle of choice.  We are free to think what we want and that includes any and all consequences. If our calculation is right we get what we thought we wanted.  If our calculus is wrong the consequence of circumstance is the curriculum to learn from our mistake. Dismissing the learning curve is how shortsighted thoughtlessness reactively repeats its performance. Reaction is one common denominator of obsessive thoughts. Another is that thoughts lacking substance equal zero. Zero is not a number so it does not count. No substance equals no applicable, productive or constructive purpose in reality and so is useless. 

Learning to live on life’s terms means learning to adjust to what happens as it happens. It is not wishful, should’ve, would’ve, or could’ve mindless wandering but an actualization of aligning thought with the terms Life prescribes, as prescribed. 

To any degree, thinking is used presumed to be the primary basis for our existence overcoming the disturbing effects of this narrative may feel imperative but can never be accomplished.  Feeling wrong as though we’ve been wrong will continue for as long as this irrational line of thinking continues. 

Mirrors reflect images just as thoughts are imagined reflections. Images in mirrors are reversed, and so too does our thinking become backward.  Lies only exist in thought, any claim of their reality is a choice to fight against Reality. To think what is false is true is an impossible battle. Our experience primarily suffers while thinking is repeatedly asked to do what cannot be done.  It is this misuse of thinking that is the problem - not thinking. 

Addiction is the vain attempt to reverse nature’s order. Acting out of order and developing multiple mental and physical disorders is a guaranteed byproduct of trying to accomplish this impossibility.  Lies only attempt to be what they are not and can never be. No amount of faith or belief will make a lie true.  We know better and are guilty for the shame produced. This would not happen if we did not know better.  


Reactive, impulsive and compulsive behaviors openly, as a mirror reflects images even while we disclaim their value. Not looking does not make what is here disappear. Trying to escape rather than value these effects further exemplifies how addictive thinking feeds on itself. To act as though what is happening is not actually happening is a prayer that desensitization - the numbing effect of denial as the psychic anesthesia of ignorance - will aid in escaping culpability for the imposition of this form of insanity. To put ourself asleep to avoid culpability is an excuse - what would there be to excuse if we had nothing to do with it?  Thinking this way is a death wish especially when we think to our “self” it is a secret.  To imagine that not existing is our only salvation is a suicidal tendency.  

We Are Present where all things occur and all possibilities exist.  Healing is natural when we wake up to see imagination is imagined.
