MOD LXVIII

Mental Obsession Discussion / Emotional Sobriety / Spiritual Malady

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 thoughts.
Free choice is the freedom to choose anything, everything, and nothing. All, any or no options are possible choices. Choice is will. Will always wants even when wanting more of less, less of more, or nothing at, or of, all. The freedom not to choose is a choice that is always an option. We are free to think what we want so we want what we choose including any and all consequences. If our calculation is right we get what we thought we wanted. If our calculus is wrong we get the exact curriculum needed to learn from our mistake. To think consequences are not what we want dismisses leaning from the value of our thought’s shortcoming. This reaction is a common denominator for obsessive thoughts. Another common denominator for any thought lacking substance is Zero.

Learning to live on life’s terms means learning to adjust to what happens as it happens. It is not wishful, should’ve, would’ve, or could’ve mindless wandering but an actualization of aligning thought with the terms Life prescribes.
Life is Absolute and Responsible for the nature of nature which is our nature. As Beings, we have life forms for which we are Absolutely Responsible. This means Freedom, Responsibility, and Choice are not options but represent the stability by which our Being nature can be expressed to realize our human form’s capacity. Well-being is based on how well we express our shared nature that always gives all to all that are and all that is. All this to say there can be no problems, conflict, struggle, anguish, or insanity in what Is Absolute. Problems are based on make-believe as we struggle to create and maintain our own reality and truth. It is no wonder trying to accomplish this has us think Reality, Truth and Life are difficult and a complicated, mysterious struggle while we chronically continue to press the issue as though it is possible.
Thoughts are imagined, imagine that. Thoughts aren’t reality so don’t create reality. Thoughts manifest effects - if we don’t like the effect we are perfectly free to change the thought. To think this is not correct is to think you have no other choice. Addiction is based on imaging that can be or is true.

Getting better doesn’t always feel better. Feeling better is getting better at feeling whether we like what we feel or not.
Listen up, Watch your words both inner and outer - they reveal your thoughts. Notice how changing thoughts changes your experience.
