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.

Emotional sobriety is the daily reprieve from induced insanity. The possibility to think wrong thoughts are right is constant - since we are free to choose what and how we think. Addiction’s promise suggests that the problem will one day be the absolute solution. This absolution never comes, since it is a lie; it is impossible.
If all things possible are possible then thinking we shouldn’t be doing what we're doing, while doing what we’re doing, leads to more complications and confusion. Having things as they are is to have something that can be let go of. When it comes to imagining wrong thoughts will one day be right the smashing blow is facing delusion as nothing more than what and how we think of it, now. We know what is right which is a guidance system to know what is wrong. If we didn’t know better we wouldn’t suffer from thinking we don’t.
All that happens, happens in the present. Now is where problems are manifest, effects are felt, and honest awareness dissolves delusion.
The unholy trinity:
Obsessive thinking is a lie that we imagine:
1. We have nothing to do with it, thus:
2. There is nothing we can do about it, and so:
3. We can do no more than excuse the same sorry, sick thoughts and subsequent misbehaviors.
This model for mental addiction supposedly resurrects an idea otherwise dead that thoughts have a life of their own that can operate against us, intrude on us and can hold us hostage whenever we feel stuck in them. No so - think again.
Lies only seem to exist in brains - specifically the brain of the thinker promoting and protecting any illusion(s) as reality by refining a story used as an excuse to defend against the impossibility of achieving the fairy tale whatsoever. We can think we oppose Truth while Truth is the provider of though not a product of thought. While we are certainly free to think we can deny Truth and Reality our attempted opposition has no impact whatsoever on either - especially since they are the same - while our fractured mentality is impacted and broken down dramatically, further fracturing into smaller and smaller fractional states that are impossible to eliminate as long as we subdivide our thoughts hoping to escape.
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.
