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, or are under the care or influence of, including professionals.
Our conversation is about conditions we create, those within our control, even as it can be hard to believe we could have anything to do with such disturbances. Only you can determine if this is your case. If your mental state is wholly out of your control then other people may be your only hope.
There is no greater enemy we face 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 along with our pain and pleasure zones occur.
Induced insanity is a disturbing mental condition. It allows we can simultaneously 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 LXXIV
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 changing thought is more powerful and able than that which is indivisible and does not change. Thoughts of this nature undermine our human experience and functional capacity - they do not have any effect on Reality, Truth, or Life - while they can and do have dramatically traumatic effects on how we think of Life and as a result how we dysfunctionally choose to act outwardly.
If we strive to act principled it is because we are aware of unprincipled thoughts. Relying on unprincipled thoughts and think we become the image they reflect is like imagining we are only the image we see in a mirror. Thoughts are imagined. So-called self-centered thinking is thinking-centered thinking. What is centered in thinking about thinking is more thinking about itself - not ourselves.
We are free to think what we want and are just as free to feel the effects of contempt, internal conflict, and fear we create. Ignoring the effects does not diminish their impact. It is naturally difficult to live with any resistance to what is happening. This form of alleged reality as sanity is induced insanity.
The greatest form of substance abuse is to think that invisibility means substance must not exist - and so the lack of substance is all that exists. Lies have no basis in reality and only seem to in misunderstood reality. The "under" part of understanding offers the vision to see what cannot be seen visibly. This is the same with the "sub" part of substance. Our standing and stances are positions we choose. Vision is based on understanding accurately aligned with Knowing. What starts with each of our acquiescence to submit to ideas that are not true as truth leads to social ills. We are culpable for propping up this broader mistaken behavior by thinking we have nothing to do with it and thus stand by quietly - while others scream - thinking there is nothing we can do or that can be done. To think that nothing is the best we can do is a death wish for non-existence, a suicidal thought accurately reflecting the addictive nature of obsessive thinking.
If nature is natural it is our nature. If essence is essential then it is our essence. Reality and stability do not come or go with the rising and falling mood swings of trending thought
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. Anxious, nervous and systemic disorders reflect this impossible attempt to reverse the Law and Order of our Universe's Essence. Dis-ease is the lack of ease created and maintained by such twisted mental acrobatics. Stress and Anxiety inhibit healing. 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
Ignoring what is happening, acting as though it shouldn't be or isn't happening, produces the unintelligible jibbersh of ignorance - not reality.
