Friends, let me tell you: The Secret

They are very helpful. It's all in your mind, bro!

I think the biggest issue is the insistence of a road and the place it apparently leads to.

Both are human inventions, truth? Trails/paths are the routes most travelled.

The "war" is real. You're just teaching yourself how to escape it temporarily "in your mind".

Are you in a position to escape it for longer periods of time than others? Are you retired and living your life as a secluded and isolated hermit yet? That will make it a lot easier if you are.

What war are you talking about?

The war of humanity against itself. We live in a very divided world that's in upheaval.

Yeah the legalistic spirits are probably the most troublesome. You think you are pursuing the better good but you're actually just 5 layers deep in an OCD merry-go-round. The danger is compromising your authenticity for a facade of righteousness.

What's up with all the assumptions?

All I said is occasionally you have to step back and remember the good you're fighting for. It won't be solved over night and I promise:
The mess will still be there when you return from your break.
Plus it really wouldn't hurt to doubt yourself.


You're assumptions are all wrong again.

Please specifically quote a wrong “assumption”. And why it’s wrong. Let’s start with that one example.

Like me, you are operating under the misconception that this was intended to be a "discussion" thread...while it is clearly a Wokist 'preaching' thread.

The former is intended to stimulate discussion and alternative opinion, whilst the latter, is merely a projection of inherent insecurity.

Join the rest of us NOW...and just sit back and gaze in awe, while marveling at the enlightenment of the OP and her revelation to us as she shares 'The Secret'.

I've got a friend who recently went into the deep end due to practicing some spiritual stuff. The people teaching her were bloody dumb, a cult. She started seeing stuff and obsessing over the perceived ills of the world. The likes of the darker stuff discussed on ATS.

Sounds almost like Twitter and Facebook...

What difference is there between prayer an meditation, when both claim to lay silence to mind an soul. While both sides try to fill up your head for you with spirits an rules, when the aim should be to make the temple as quite as a church.

I think the most important realization of all, is can one forgive themselves for their wrongs, not so much that from others, but of themselves, then from unto others. Some are petty, while other would require much sacrifice to make more serious amends.

I am The Warp.

Maybe that is the OPs point...Are we really?

What tells you this twitter, social media, main media, our reps in congress???


This so called upheaval started about the time mass social media 24/7 came about 10 years ago or so. As example you could be a moderate left or right your whole life and over the last ten years you have had two big forces working on you pushing you farther one way or the other. One is our smart search engines that sees you search for lets say Trump and you read negative posts on him. Over time the search engines think that is what you want so they push that to you. Hits 1 through 1000 is now all bad Trump and the rest is buried down 300 pages. Another little nasty critter is called friend/foe AI. This guy decides what is friend or foe for you and pushes posts that it sees as friendly for you as all positive and everything it sees as a foe it only pushes negative.

One wonders why in 2020 we seemed to be no longer moderate in anything as the narratives were all extreme, but the catch is the vast majority are still moderate, but you would never know that as the far alts are the ones who push most of the narratives with these social media platforms and your search engines and friend/foe AI work well in supporting those crazies.

So here we are with Biden going to start building the wall again, and his brown kids are not really in cages, Cuomo isn't the darling of the left anymore, Biden is sharp as a tack, Harris is popular...lol So on and so forth...

Maybe people need to recalibrate from all this...I been wondering how much the typical mind can handle so much 24/7 and wonder if the brain is slowly pushed into a psychosis as it is bombarded with so much.

I don't do either and I'm very content with my life...

For all I know you could be an A-hole who probably stepped on little people, an forgave himself that easily, an never gave it second thought, while the little people do nothing.

Then again if that were the case, you'd probably be looking over your shoulder constantly watching for some evil, spirit of vengeance hoping you forgot, that want to set up an appointment with you an the holy.

The Devils always in the details.

One of the few here that I read every post I come across. Definitely on target.

Though I know you are speaking beyond the physical aspects just the breathing exercises I can lower my increasing blood pressure, as for what matters? My old fallback recently is my kids and even though they are well adjusted and successful adults now. After my divorce, though I was so concerned and really preoccupied with how well they were doing etc. Finally, after about 7-8, years I had them for my weekend. After I took them back home I had got back to my place and was smacked by the realization they were okay and doing great. It was more than an epiphany and peaceful calming feeling, after all these years and that being the overwhelming concern in my life. It just made me feel extremely thankful and nothing else matters as much.

I routinely try and revisit that moment and capture that feeling.

Yes the vast majority of us need to reset from time to time to readjust that perspective that may have got skewed on you.

Funny.

It's actually horrid seeing someone you care about descend into madness. Seems her bf always listened to my rantings though... He said the same # has been happening since day 1 and that the paranormal can't actually hurt you... Well, barring abductions and poltergeists that untack the carpets on ya stairs. I kid.

That's the problem with "wokeness". There's always this insistence that everything has changed, it hasn't. You're just seeing things differently. I honestly don't think there's anything new under the sun.

Putnam going to his happy place. This is what it's all about.

Actually I am in the top 1% of managers in my company from employee feedback, so I don't think I'm an ass, but I am a boomer so not very HR compliant.

I like where I put myself in life and I fully understand my limitations and accept them for what they are. This is not to say I haven't done a plethora of things in my life I wished I did differently, but as I pass 60 in age I'm still alive, in good health, have all my 10 fingers and toes, have a loving wife and two successful boys with about zero stress or drama, so I must have done something right along the way. Humans in general always think about the what could of been after the fact. Why didn't I buy 10k worth of Bit Coin at 6 cents each when I lived in Japan!!! I would be worth 10 billion right now... As example... That is what we do and we let things eat us away at times until there is nothing left.

Back when I was in my 20s and 30s flying in the AF around the world. I would find my self wanting things I could not afford, and it would bother me. Then I would go to a Trump's Sh@thole place and become recalibrated in even our homeless have won the living lottery in being here and not there...lol

What could be happening with her is that she lacks meaning or wants a purpose in life which is quite common. It more or less a form of denial, or lack of acceptance that life isn't such a straightforward path. Even though it get drilled in our heads it is, an just wants to be different or unique in a way.

And the fact that it involves a bf an is the cause means she might lack a certain need or want that Xtro(or parents in general)cant give her an hope only that she snaps out of it.

Kind of like boys an gangs, they feel a renewed sense of kinship, an trying to reel them back in can make it worse.

Cant say what that would be though, maybe wonder or excitement to snap her out of it an hope to realize that reality isn't so monotone(even though most woke people are actually robots.)

Ill shut up now.

They are trying to invent something that isn't reality...Or change the world to be like them since they are correct, if you do not believe that just ask them...

The crazy WOKEness doesn't get me so much, it's the people who purposely don't see it, or ignore it, or reaffirm it all differently in their heads.

I have a friend who lives in Portland and I live 20 mins away and he will argue there isn't a homeless problem and that there has been no riots... THAT bothers me more....

Nope. More proof that you can't comprehend what's written.
