MOD LXI

Mental Obsession Discussion / Emotional Sobriety / Spiritual Malady

Comments / Questions welcome : here

We will not Zoom In or Out the last two Sundays of December.

MOD episodes have no shelf-life or expiration date. Our focus is principled so each episode reflects the immediate stability of our Present State of Knowing Awareness along with the unstable impressions manifest by ever-changing obsessive thoughts.
Sobriety is recovery from the insanity of symptomatic compulsive behaviors.
Emotional sobriety is sane living. Honestly facing the induced nature of insanity’s haunting sensations dissolve.
Thinking is not inherently obsessive. Emotions inherit the chaos and commotion of obsessive thoughts.
It is what we each do with what we see and hear that determines our experience. If we can makes things worse we can get better, at expressing our Being nature.
NOTICE, CONSIDER, IMAGINE:
We are human having a spiritual experience - or we are spiritual having a human experience. Make a choice and notice what occurs. If a sense of stability and curious awareness develops then living with the decision may be warranted and right. If the lingering results have you feel gripped with conflict, instability, and a tendency to want to "feel better“, "make it right”, or feel stuck or disconnected these conditions are centered in how thinking is used. These conditions can be high or low grade and like viruses persist beyond any welcome.
Stability makes mental instability obvious. Feeling out of sorts, out of place, disconnected, or alone would never occur if our human experience was not stable and aware, at least at its rooted source, that we are always as we are, when and where we are - here and now.
Consider these thoughts:
You are as we all are - always where and when we are: Here Now.
The moment is always new so it never gets old. All possibility is always possible. Done is over and done. The past is nothing more than a thought. The Present is the culmination of all that has ever happened. To fix the past is to reckon with the present. This is the same for the seeming future as it is only imagined. Once the future is present. like the past was, it is no longer there and then but here and now. To take imagination so seriously as to think fantasy is reality - is insanity.
There is no possibility of insight developed by ignoring that which is in sight - That rather than what is happening.
Sub-stance is fundamental to all life-forms as under-standing is the basis for expressing our human functional capacity.
The indivisible substance seems invisible as long as it is misunderstood.
Under-standing and Sub-stance are the foundation of principled choices, as they are both firmly under where we stand; and the positions we take.
Essence is essential; not negotiable or optional.

We Know We Know.
We Are Aware We Are Aware.
We Are as We Are.
Reality is unlimited. Nothing can be added or subtracted to or from It. The idea that how and what we think creates reality suggests otherwise. Acting on such backward thoughts leads to behaviors that are out of order. Anxious and systemic disorders reflect this impossible attempt to reverse the natural order. Disease is a lack of ease created and maintained by such twisted mental gymnastics.
Sharing principles affirms and confirms our indivisibility. We can choose desperation while our unchanging essence remains inspired.
Moments of clarity are like sparks of enlightenment revealing the Ever Present Shadowless Knowing Light of Inspiration’s Intuitive Wisdom is aptly called brilliance, bright, and radiant. Intelligence expresses our knowing nature. Ignoring what is happening produces ignorance.
