So a lot of us have negative thoughts (I fall victim to this as well). But we tend to hold on to a lot beliefs and thoughts that hold us back from our true potential. Most of the negative thoughts are related to struggle, depression, unworthiness, etc....

The more we feed these thoughts, the more it will block our clear vision of things. We cling to these thoughts because it gives us a sense of "identity." But this false identity is much less than we are. It is still a part of us, yes, but a very insignificant part.

Struggle is almost the poor cousin of frustration and that ones definitely an investment worth making.

I like that avatar Mr Interesting,very mysterious lol and intruiging, dimensional and peaceful ,is it you. thinking about putting my real self up there too....I dont have face

book, Sf is my main thingy..but I am meant to be homeschooling my 12 yrold son next year cant wait ,get to write a curriculum ,which will have a philosophy of

empowering an individual with practical life skills ,viewing the world and community as a spiritual playground where we are all an important part of the web of life and

the way in which we can contribute, as well as allowing for bright creativity thats not so mainstream,,,,Sorry to hijack this thread but already the excitement and

creative potential for a modern spiritual education for my son is helping me past the imagined struggle of opposition of any kind . Viva purpose and creativity...:hello2:

Yup, that's me, at least me the other day anyways when camera in hand to do one thing I walked past where I'd put that neat little round piece of clear perspex to remind myself to use it somewhere special and caught my reflection in it so here we are. It's my facebook thing too as I'm over there actually bein' much difference.

Good luck with Sunny boy but I just gotta say my time in the public school I wouldn't trade for anything 'cause it ended up with me bein' well sociable and I can't help but think above the learnin' that's what actually counts.

I like your quote, Timeless.
The problem is, we think too much as a species.

That sounds really great, deepsoul. I am raising free thinkers myself. They go to a progressive Montessori model type school.

Indeed!



Hi Timeless,
…we tend to hold on to a lot beliefs and thoughts that hold us back from our true potential.
That is a very negative belief!!

If you already ‘know’ (implied by your statement) what the “true potential” is - - - -
Isn’t that a BELIEF …that‘s ‘holding you back‘? By your own definition.


…We cling to these thoughts because it gives us a sense of "identity."
So, re-vivifying the struggle (by declaring the belief that your belief isn‘t holding you back) = clinging to that 'false identity'? Ok.


…The more we feed these thoughts, the more it will block our clear vision of things.
Well, thanks for posting, i.e., feeding 'these thoughts' by a confessional about your self-victimisation!
Seems indicative of a real struggle and an apt (and ironically clear) illustration.

Because if you know your ‘true potential’ - beside being a belief - isn’t that a clear vision?
How can a clear vision block a clear vision?
Is that the knife that doesn’t cut itself? Or the opposite?

Perhaps cutting is a very insignificant part of what that knife does.
Sounds like a dull knife or a confused wielder.

Well, we have swimming upstream against the current...
then, we have floating downstream with the current.
Since, I know that All is Bliss, All is within the Creator,
All is Love...that the only thing that ever keeps a being on any level
from being enraptured by these truths are self imposed limitations of
wrong thinking....I vote for floating downstream into the
waiting arms of my Creator.

Sigh :hug3:

:love9:

My thinking is ...that is how easy it all is...:smile:

I struggle with generalisations shaping my belief system.

If something tends to happen like a hundred times in a row, then it always happens. etc

If there's one thought that holds me back, it's simply this: "something's wrong."

Oh, there's another biggie: "life is difficult." It's more of a sense, an unconscious assumption, than a thought, per se, and I know it's there, operating in the background, when I feel resistance in my body (which is an awful lot of the time, I'm noticing).

your latino i'm quoting




here's a story-
we pass on rayol loving,
cause same tones around are any defenseful to the noisy self of toyl others who work too hard in their own fleesy mind, a keep it that way.'
/ that all persons engage in trivia we learn to deorganise / /.
we thought ourselves connect, we still be, with solided adjusteds.
/ that we can get ourselfs done / /.
think of being knight through your newer status come on assets 'to have let gone of somethings so ironeed trim,
back then soliderary yarry kept'
/ that tougher letting go will come some of what and a holding up tight / /.
that we shoock strong off no matter the the ubustings sillydim that 'there is still win in any position beating beating after-the-shock-ee-math best-nomatter an what your mind in works can point mind to new become.'
/ 'that we can survive letting go after an blown' / /.
