Today, while sardine-ing against people during a rather smelly train ride, I saw a bodypart with a tattoo on it that said: there are no failures, only lessons.
Might've read it elsewhere before but it was exactly what I needed that moment. I smiled at it. Simply true.

well, today I learnt that is is extremely beneficial to be around individuals that are highly blocked and socially inept. Deep down, I have always known this, and I have always been drawn to individuals that are on the outer of society, the outcasts, the homeless, the different.
these individuals test one's limit of acceptance, and in doing so, reveal those areas that are still being self-judged by oneself. the higher the blockage, and the greater the ineptitude, the greater the test of acceptance and the greater the revealing of hidden judgement patterns that are operational in the mind. it is blissful to be around clear individuals; there is a communion of minds, a thorough sharing of self, a total aura of acceptance. but put yourself in the face of an undisciplined, wild, uncontrolled individual and you will see the tendencies to control and tame that person; and these patterns most often originate from childhood when one's own vibrant and erratic nature were brought to bear using the tools of guilt, punishment, and threatening of withdrawal of love. in the blocked individual we see the mirror of our own blockages. It is a tremendous opportunity.

today I learnt about falling in love with the process of unblocking. Once you become quite skilled at identifying and backtracking blockages, and then applying the relevant acceptance pattern to undo it, it is almost joyous to find that you have encountered some inner blockages ... because it heralds the opportunity for greater unity. Always, inevitably always, once the blockage it identified, worked with, and then released, the mind (self) becomes more whole and 'vibrates' 'resonates' at an even higher rate. It is quite lierally exstactic!!
so yeah, wow, I almost seek out opportunities to discover blockages in my energy centres ... the liberation that follows is like nothing you can conceive of wow wow wow. thank you theatre of life!! so many opportunities for joy plenum

today I came to appreciate ...
just how effective the 'world' is in mirroring back, and acting as a feedback mechanism for blockages. for eg 1) see stimulus 2) feel reactivity 3) imaginary scenario plays out 4) one 'peers' behind the scenario to see the blockage causing the mind to create imaginary scenarios 5) blockage identified, resolved, then clarity returns to consciousness this is a step-by-step mechanism by which all issues in consciousness can be cleared. ASTONISHING.

well, today, I had the particularly sobering realisation that ...
if you don't understand someone else (ie understand or accept what they are doing/saying), it is really a lack of understanding of self, or an aspect of the self. this is sort of an extension of the idea that other selves are just mirrors for aspects of the self ... but sort of taken to its highest extent; because it would be difficult, it would seem, to understand/appreciate all aspects of the self in one incarnation, and so one can't reasonably expect to understand/appreciate the other-self in every possible situation or encounter; although one can move in the direction of greater understanding always. the phrase: "I don't get him." "I don't understand why he said that." etc etc with gender reversals of course. one can't understand the material of everything communicated (there is technical communication, geek communication, gibberish communication), the 'understand' here is referring to 'understanding' where someone is coming from, or their relative viewpoint. it is an appreciation of relative perspectives. yeah, so that was the grand understanding today. - - sorta relevant: Quote:54.7 Ra: I am Ra. This statement is substantially correct. If you will penetrate the nature of the first distortion in its application of self knowing self, you may begin to distinguish the hallmark of an Infinite Creator, variety. Were there no potentials for misunderstanding and, therefore, understanding, there would be no experience.

My realizating was sobering too, that before I was thinking of escaping this density and how to do so. That it's more important for me to ground than it is to seek my social memory complex. But I do miss them. I've also slowed down my seeking of the Infinite One. Perhaps in higher density I can seek in a better way when I finally have answers. There are no words to accurately describe the higher densities. So learning will take on a whole new meaning.

well, I got my new Nexus phone this week ... and I been mucking around on it for a few days now.
anyways, as is my want, I do a lot of interface customizations, and one of the things I found was a clock widget that you can rotate what is inside the widget. So it still takes up a 2x1 slot on your homepage, but you can rotate the time text. so basically it looks like this: but why, o why plenum? just because I can ... and it was something I didn't realise I could do before : d hence my 'what did I learn today'.

today I learned to embrace the voice of love
let go of my resistance to it and drop the thoughts that separated me from it The only thing that can come between us and our experience of love, is thoughts... Now I want to learn more about thoughts that embody love
I learned today that it's acceptable to be a harmful influence.
Background: I had the other thought the other day that perhaps I occasionally give the wrong suggestions when my mother comes to me seeking spiritual advice. That immediately created a huge discomfort in my orange ray. I first dealt with it by telling myself that I wasn't a harmful influence, and to not think so pessimistically. The orange ray discomfort did not diminish. After some meditation, I went over a variety of issues, including considering whether I would accept myself if I scored lower than I wanted on my upcoming gmat, or whether I can accept myself for being in a marathon job search, and or whether I should be exercising more, or whether I should be studying more, the orange ray discomfort was not affected. A situation came to mind from many years ago where I hurt a girl because I was not ready for a real relationship and how I regret how I treated her and felt something in my orange. I then proceeded to ponder if this memory had a connection to my experience yesterday. And I realized that I deeply want to be a constructive influence in other people's lives. But the fact remains, that, it's a part of life to be a harmful influence, whether intentional or not, and to accept that. I trust myself enough to know I'm a worthwhile being regardless of what I do. The energetic discomfort in the orange dissipated. I would say this is a further examination of the concept I posted in this thread earlier about accepting that you will disappoint yourself and others.

From what I recall it's the first time I ever changed my avatar. I needed to change my avatar. It changed my outlook on life. That was what I learned these past few days of having the new one.

I just had lunch with Cindy, a friend whom I have not seen for a long time. At the lunch, she lamented that she should had stayed in education as tutors are making big bucks in our country. These tutors worked very long hours helping thousands of students prepare for examinations.
After the lunch, I thought about what she said about hard work and I wonder whether I am currently: (1) using work-life-balance as an excuse not to work harder (2) using "the earth is doomed", "you are just one person, what can you do?", or "it's not your business, so don't get involved" excuses so that I don't have to work harder (3) following advice like "don't work so hard that you overtax yourself and die early" (4) hoping and waiting to be rescued by ETs, harvest, ascension, ascended masters etc. etc. The (3) point is a contradiction. If I am a wanderer, I would have gone through death many times. And if working hard brings early death, what's the problem? I will be back here again in a jiffy. What did I learn today? I believe the reason why I am not working harder is the (4) reason. I am doing just enough to get by and hoping to be rescued from all the negativity that surrounds me. I did this for the last four years, waiting for rescuers, and I am still here. So, I am now getting off my ass, and jumping back into the sea of hard work if you like. And if I drown helping too many people, I will be back in a jiffy, and will continue helping even more people. Thanks, Cindy, you're a wonderful catalyst.

Why do you feel you must 'work harder' at anything?

After 3 months of despair, and after re-reading the Law of One (my fifth time), i am back with renewed vigour. I mentioned Garnet Schulhauser's book "Dancing on a Stamp" on another thread. Here's two quotes that Albert, a spiritual guide, told Garnet, that have helped me refocus and why I am working even harder: 1) "Souls do not consider life on your planet to be a hardship; they view it as an adventure that can provide many rewarding experiences. It is like people who sign up for a two-year job stint in another country. Even though they do not want to leave their homes and move to the new country, they accept the assignment because they expect to enjoy their new adventures in the other country before returning home." 2) "All Souls are eager to learn more about themselves and the universe so that they can evolve and grow. Earth has a diversity of physical conditions and negative emotions that Souls desire to experience to advance their evolution. ... Souls view a life on Earth as a way of testing themselves to determine if they can endure the pain and hardships they may face without bailing out early and without letting their negative emotions control their actions."

Today, while at work, I realized that I had an inner conflict with conflict and my awarness of it disolved it.
So happy to be out of that loop of inner tention, my breath comes easier, and I feel a very plesent peace with... well... everything
today i learned that the Intense World Theory suggests that Autistic people do not lack empathy/emotion. They shutdown because they are overloaded by emotions due to hypersensitivity and are not able to express empathy/emotion like other people because of that. Essentially, Autistic people feel too much.
basically every day i learn w/e's here. i just learned u can die from laughter...i'm really surprised i haven't already died this way. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_from_laughter

Here's two quotes that Albert, a spiritual guide, told Garnet, that have helped me refocus and why I am working even harder: Thanks Wai. I finished reading Dancing on a Stamp a couple of days ago, and my mom's reading it now. It was very informative. I like his discussions on the Spirit Side. The only thing I didn't agree with was that it said that God made everything, when the Ra material says that individual Logoi made stars and galaxies. So I don't know which, but I lean towards the idea of Logoi. Since reading the book, I've been working on being more positive. When I leave the Earth plane, I don't want to have much if any karmic debt that will need balancing in a future life. I like what he says about you don't "have to" balance karma if you don't want to, but the soul overwhelmingly desires to. Even though I am now aware and awakened about the nature of karma and my life lessons, it's still possible for me to make mistakes. Or as Ra calls them surprises.
I learned hoping for change can easily slip into non-acceptance of the present. Hope for a change, work toward a change, but don't expect a change at any given time trusting the universe that change will come when the time is right.
Similarly, hope and work toward teaching others with the understanding that you are there to show the doorway, but others must want or ask for the teachings, even if seems clear that they suffer because they do not understand their catalyst and remain asleep. They must learn for themselves, you cannot force them to learn with an open heart. p.s. I learned this stuff from situations outside of the forum, lest someone thinks I'm secretly referring to them or something

Thank you Parsons. I feel the love.
I feel so much love on this forum. I love you all so much. You understand me. I understand all of you. We share things in a indescribable way. It is all so beautiful. I am experiencing some sort of energy swings these past few days (yes zenny I'm sober! ), but these feelings are real. You guys are more than a family to me. I'm so lucky and greatful. I love you all.

I'm again reminded that people newly learning about the mechanism of projection will try to force-fit its operation on others, in an attempt to make sense of what they don't understand.
