MOD episodes have no shelf-life or expiration date. Our focus is principled - so always happening now - so each episode reflects the fluidity and immediacy of the current events we all share.
Sobriety is sanity from any compulsion.

Emotional sobriety is sane living.
Reflection, as an awakened contemplative meditation, is the chance to see what we imagine, as imagined - distinct from all there is to actually see. To imagine we imagine aligns and assigns what we think we see to what we think, not all there is to see. Seeing our so-called self clearly is seeing we have mistakenly assumed thinking about itself is our self. This is commonly referred to as ego, which has no more basis in reality than any lie. As long as we continue this line of thinking we will feel rightly lost trying to find our self among this growing host of thoughts thinking only of themselves.
Humility is having things as they are, no more or less; "right"-sized, in proper proportion; not misshapen, mistaken, maligned, or wrong. There is no conflict, grief, mourning, misery, anxiety, stress, or loss in humility as it is a reflection of the perfection of reality and truth. Thoughts of any existing creature do not create new conscious beings within the life forms that breathe with brains and think such things. To defend and fight for a life that does not exist is insane.

Choice is will. We are free to choose whatever we want to think. Ill will acts on sick choices. Thinking sick choices create reality is to think reality is horrifying while imagining whatever we think is true - when it is wrong. Sick choices thought of as reality is the choice to see and hear things that do not exist not only as though they are alive, but have a life of their own that can attack and condemn us. Talking to our selves ( "multiple person-ality disorder??" ) is an example, thinking about our selves is another. Once we think that thinking is truth and reality each wrong thought we think seems to have a life of its own alongside a cacophony of other thought-less voices fighting for attention. Paying chronic attention to settling this inner conflict leaves little attention to be paid to what is actually happening. Fundamental mistaken beliefs create interminable inner conflict, emotional turmoil, and mental anguish for as long as they are entertained, these illusions imagined to be real are maintained, groomed, and managed. Mental illness is the natural consequence of defending this line of irrational thinking; seeing and hearing things that don’t exist. Addiction is the attempt to reverse the natural order of nature. Thinking harder and harder about sick thinking while relying only on sick thoughts is a drowning pool, suicidal tendency, and death wish. Thinking something false can be true and thus real and right easily has

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.
