Mental Obsession Discussion / Emotional Sobriety / Spiritual Malady

Comments / Questions welcome : here

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.
if we are the agents of change that choose conflicted thoughts then we can easily get better by relying on and expressing the nature of our essence rather than relying on ideas that are not true. Obsessive thoughts are not an accident or a curse - they are choices - and like all addictive behaviors they seem to happen to us to justify the irresponsibility of thinking we have nothing to do with them and thus can do nothing about them. Managing insanity presumes there is something to manage. Out of control is unmanageability since there is nothing to manage even while delusional thoughts are “our” reality. This thinking suggests insanity is sane which is like denying a lie is a lie and so it’s supposed management maintains the depressing effect.
Dreams, like obsessive thoughts, as long as we they are real do we think we are in them - until we wake and realize we were only having them. We can’t be what we have anymore than an eye can see itself. Think of thoughts in this way.
Any insistence to maintain conflicted thoughts has the thought appear to impose itself on us. To claim we have nothing to do with it mirrors the claim there is nothing we can do about it. All of these conclusions are lies.
Responsibility, Freedom, and Choice are fundamental principles of mental health. There are no victims or insanity in reality. As Sentient Beings sensitivity is intelligence so we cannot be too smart for our own good - though we can dumb our experience down by narrowing the focus of our awareness to conclude the nature of truth as reality is only what we think.
Sobriety is recovery from symptomatic addictions induced by imagining fantasy is reality. Reactive, impulsive, and compulsive behaviors all fit into this category as they are based on a lie that lies have the power to become reality. Reality as an Infinite Source cannot be more or less than it is since it is not a quantity but the quality of perfect peace.
Emotional sobriety is sane living. Essence can seem unseen until understanding sees it does not need to be thought of to be essential for existence. We Know more than we think or mental anguish would be a normal disturbance and not feel uneasy. Pain tells us something is wrong. To misread this to mean run faster to escape, get over it, or feel better about it is to insist the problem causing the pain persists.
Zero is not a number. It is the concept of nothing used to understand e

The Mental Obsession Discussion:
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 Laws of the universe that govern nature’s order. Disease is the 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 aptly called brilliance, bright, and radiant. Intelligence expresses our knowing nature. Ignoring what is happening produces unintelligible ignorance - not reality.
