Mental Obsession Discussion / Emotional Sobriety / Spiritual Malady
Our discussion is not partisan, licensed, nor is it an academic or scientific thesis, medical diagnosis, prognosis, philosophy, prescription, discipline, cure or treatment. Based on experience, we neither propose nor oppose any position, person, place, or thing nor do we promote rituals or any religious service - real or imagined.
Listening indicates some interest in solving mental conflicts. Automatic reliance on what you hear is not suggested nor is it a substitute for taking direction from responsible parties you rely on, are cared for by or under the influence of, including professionals.
Our conversation is about conditions we create, induce and impose, and control even while in
disbelief we could possibly have anything to do with such ugly disturbances. We each determine these conditions or come to terms with the role we play by accurately diagnosing them. If your mental state seems wholly out of control that may not actually be correct.
There is no greater enemy than the one we imagine to be our self. There is no greater impact anyone else can make on our experience since our brain is where choices are determined immediately alongside our pain and pleasure zones.
Induced insanity is a disturbing mental condition. It allows we can make believe we have nothing to do with the problem. As a result it is easy to conclude there is nothing we can do about it. No amount of hopelessness can ever overcome this hopeless thought as long as it is maintained.
Mistaking thoughts for reality causes misgivings about Reality and Truth. Life only seems complicated when we mistake how we think of life and truth as our reality. This position presumes there is not other reality.
Feeling empty, alone, disconnected? Feeling out of place? Trying to find where you belong, yet never arrive? Seeking, searching, questioning day after day? Trying to feel better, get over the past or get past the present discomfort? Feeling hopeless about hopeless ideas is a good sign that our body language is guiding us accurately - even while we are not listening.
Consideration is contemplative, awakened meditation. Absolute Knowing Awareness is simple because it does not change, it is natural and it is our nature - not an option or negotiatiable.
Awe and inspiration are the realization that all possibility is present here, now, for all that is and all who are—always in all ways.
Knowing’s nature is Absolute: not negotiable, occasional, or optional.
There is no doubt where there is no question.
Reality and Truth are the Substance of Life. Lying has no substance and so generates unhealthy, conflicted turmoil. Loneliness is an accurate reflection of disconnected, baseless thinking. Creating any cause while denying its effects sustains the vicious cycle of obsessive thoughts, which lie at the center of addictive behaviors.
Einstein noted: “You cannot fix a problem with the same thinking that created it.”
Symptomatic recovery does not cure obsessive mental illness; it cleans the lens so the problem can be seen. Emotional sobriety is sane living. When wrong is seen as wrong it is right. This does not correct the wrong but allows for correction.
Peace on earth does not require the grave thought we must first be being buried in it.

MOD LXXV
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
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 thinking.
If the essence of existence exists then it is essential. To think we can be excluded from it is to think the process of thought that always changes is more powerful than that which is indivisible, indiscriminate, and does not change. Thoughts of this nature conflict with nature and undermine our human experience and functional capacity - while they have no effect on Absolute Reality, Truth, or Life - even while they have dramatically traumatic effects on how Life is experienced and as a result how we dysfunctionally choose to behave.
Choices last only as long as they are chosen. Reality need not be chosen to be real. Introducing thinking to what we have aligns it with reality and so allows us to realize and fully utilize our human functional capacity. Choosing to imagine that thinking about thinking itself becomes reality and thus our self corrupts the primary nature of thinking. This "self-serving”nature has no basis other than what we think. This is not reality but insanity. This breach fractures and corrupts all subsequent thoughts causing enormous instability and conflict that affects us all. Written human history speaks to the violent indignant effects this so called "self" produces.
Mental addiction at its root is induced insanity - meaning it is a choice. It seems crazy to freely choose this condition but lies have sick thoughts appear as all we can have and thus all we can act on. The undo this is limited to the doer of this. If this undoing was not an option there then there would be no other choice and we would not suffer inner conflict, emotional turmoil and mental anguish, since it would be all that is possible, and the only thing we can do - and thinking about it at all, like any instinctive behavior, would not occur at all.
Obsessive thinking is an option. We are aware we are aware and to understand this is to reaffirm our greater knowing awareness amd thoughts naturally act on inspiration rather than fight for desperation. We know better or would not feel worse when we are choosing the worst option. Trying chronically to feel better, overcome or get through this disturbance is an admission of, and the attempt to manage, the imposition of this condition.
To instigate opinions that refute reality is one way of experiencing life. Sick choices are choices freely made hoping sickness will cure what it creates. Addiction is based on a lie and so appears to twist fate and all other right into wrong. There is never any requirement to impulsively choose to react and set the chain reaction of obsessive thinking in motion - no matter what we think.
Obsessive thinking becomes obvious when contemplating any Absolute concept; Life, Reality, Truth, Love….all sorts of ideas will re-act up to fight for other ideas that have no basis other than to be thought of as true. Peace as our nature makes any disturbance obvious. Seeing thought-centered thoughts accurately allows them to be processed correctly. Not choosing them becomes as easy as the option to choose them. Sanity is simple so easy to restore - even while nothing is easier to complicate than simplicity.
Right is right because it works every time. Wrong never works no matter how long we rely on it and the stress created trying to prove it may or can work. Might, like may, maybe, or possibly are mighty words. Considering what is happening is considerate. There is no fight in our natural awakened state of contemplative meditation.
We Know We Know.
We Are Aware We Are Aware.
We Are as We Are.
Reality is unlimited and never changes. The idea that how and what we think creates reality suggests otherwise. Acting on backward thoughts leads to behaviors that are out of order reflecting a reversal of our natural fortune that are accurately called disorders. Anxious, nervous and systemic disorders reflect this impossible attempt to reverse Nature’s Law and Order and our Universe's Essence. Dis-ease is the lack of ease created and maintained by such twisted mental acrobatics. Stress and Anxiety inhibit healing and compound and degrade health.
Mentality is a bodily function. Mental disease is a physcial ailment. For as long as it is misdiagnosed - any cure or treatment will perpetuate its contagion.
Principles affirm Our Indivisible nature. Sharing Principles confirms our natural indivisibility. Inspiration is natural while desperation, depression, degradation and acting oblivious to what is obvious is an unnatural choice to oppose reality which is impossible to accomplish though we are free to try.
Ignoring what is happening, acting as though it shouldn't be or isn't happening, produces the unintelligible gibberish of ignorance - not reality.
