•2 To act is to respond but if the only action a transceiver can perform is to receive or to resend something, then the only action a transceiver can rightfully claim is receiving or sending.

•1 Awareness of the sensor (I) gets in the way of sensing and direct experience because awareness of the sensor requires thinking and thinking has no sensing ability.

•2 Awareness of the sensor (I) is practical and useful for making feeling, thinking, and behaving adjustments and corrections, but not for direct experiencing or being self.

•3 Oneness falsely claims no sensor (I) for what is sensed as if the object sensed, say an apple, sensed the sensor (the person or the functioning of their self as a sensor).

•4 The sensor (I) is not the self but a function of the self, because the self is a reflector and a reflector must first sense in order to reflect sensations from sensing.

•3 You did not create or invent your highest values, and you share a mix of high values with many different people in the past and present.

•4 The source of the highest values is not individual thinking or experience because individual thinking and experience can only affirm or disconfirm belief in the highest values, not create the highest values.

•5 The highest values exist as the highest categories from which all other categories are hierarchically derived; logically, this means that since human thinking and experience rely on categories that are not the highest that the highest categories existed before human thinking and experience.

•3 The observer and the observed are never one; however, one can practice pure reflection to the degree that one is only aware of the observed.

•4 The division of the observer and the observed exists because of mental identification; however, not having or removing the identifying, labeling, or naming does not mean that the observer and the observed also no longer exist.

•3 Suppression is a secondary problem that often is bigger than the problem it is about.

•3 The more you try to do something about internal or external signals, the more you fail to face them in the Light (meditation).

•4 You are not different from others nor is your “trying to do” different or better than what others are trying to do: trying to do is trying to do is failing to do.

•1 Faith and hope in God require retreating.

•2 Trust in and reliance upon God require retreating.

•3 Dependence upon and surrender to God require retreating.

•1 People are often told that they are “thick-headed” from overthinking, because their mind is like a thick forest of thoughts with no opening for Spirit.

•2 People are often told that they are “dull-witted” for constantly thinking, because their mind is dull from the noise of thoughts that allow no openness for Spirit.

•3 People are often told that they have “rocks for brains,” because their mind is like a collection of rocks with no room for Spirit but only for thinking about thinking about thinking.

•4 People are often called “a blockhead” for thinking too much, because their mind is like a block of solid wood with no room for Spirit but only for looping and ruminating thoughts.

#Problem #Hiding: 2018-08-24

•1 First, we try to know an emotional or mental disturbance by thinking about it: thought cannot know anything.

#Right #Coping: 2018-08-20

•1 You don’t have to stop letting things get to you, because things can only get to your ego, not you; instead, switch from all self-esteem thinking because it is conditional.

•2 You don’t have to turn anything over to God, because you never have anything and He has everything; instead, switch from all thinking that is trying to change or control anything.

#Price #Pride: 2018-08-19

•1 One price of pride is choosing to know and be right about failing instead of humbly succeeding.

#Glorify #God: 2018-08-16

•1 There is one source for glory: God.

•2 There is one target for glory: God.

•3 Adoration, credit, devotion, glory, honor, praise, love, majesty, and worship are all good.

#Automatic #Living: 2018-08-15

•1 I am reflecting.

•3 As long as I am alive, I am automatically reflecting.

•4 There is nothing I can do to reflect, and there is nothing I can do to stop reflecting other than to die physically.

#Being #Human: 2018-08-14

•1 Human knowing consists of the target of human awareness.

•2 Human doing consists of the action of human awareness.

•3 Being human consists of the awareness of one’s human nature as a reflector (container, host, transceiver, vessel).

•5 Humans can name, link, sort, store, and recall moments of awareness, facts, information, and knowledge; however, these actions by humans of naming, linking, sorting, storing, and recalling are not forms of knowing but only actions and forms of memory processes.


#Teach #Mind: 2018-08-13

•1 Listen to a stream to teach your mind that it is not controlling or creating the sound, because the sound is too intricate and variable to predict.

•3 Watch waves crash on a beach to teach your mind that its trying to cause, change, or control how waves crash is a fool’s errand as is any form or type of trying.

•4 Stand on a mountain and look at a forest and try to predict the pattern of the hills, shadows, and trees to teach your mind that it does, is, and knows nothing and is most useful when silent.

•5 Sit in the woods and listen to the sounds of the birds and insects and try to predict which will sound next and in what order to teach your mind to be quiet so that you might just enjoy life free of the mind’s games of claiming to know, do, and be whatever it is not.


#Right #Spite: 2018-08-12

•1 Suicide is being right in spite of the cost: death.

•3 Material pride is being right in spite of the cost: the loss of self.

#Asceticism #Suffer: 2018-08-11

•1 Asceticism for the purpose of surrendering to God is right asceticism: suffer well.

•2 Asceticism for the purpose of experiencing helplessness in order to turn your will over to God is right asceticism: suffer well.

•3 Asceticism for the purpose of experiencing enough suffering to realize that you cannot do anything and are ultimately dependent upon God for everything is right asceticism: suffer well.

•4 Asceticism for the purpose of self-control is wrong asceticism, because it leads to both worldly and spiritual pride (claiming).

•5 Asceticism that is extreme or that enjoys suffering is masochism and of negative value.


#Life #Value: 2018-08-10

•1 The highest value is to be for life, and the lowest value is to be against life.

•2 Life is only valued if it is valued at its beginning, middle, and end.

•3 Once you excuse devaluing life at any stage because it is a burden or an inconvenience, then it becomes easier to devalue life at any other stage for similar reasons.

•4 There are times that force a choice between valuing one life over another and what these exceptions, extremes, and rarities prove is that the general rule is generally true: all life must be valued at every stage.

•5 If you can exterminate fetuses, then you can exterminate chronically-ill persons; if you can exterminate chronically-ill persons; then you can exterminate people who are suffering; if you can exterminate people who are suffering, then you can exterminate aged persons; if you can exterminate aged persons, then you can exterminate people with genetic defects or low IQ; if you can exterminate people with genetic defects or low IQ, then you can exterminate people with the wrong ideology.


#Heart #Soul #Mind: 2018-08-09

•1 Your living heart is never something but always sensing something.

•2 Your living soul is never doing something but always experiencing something.

•3 Your living mind never knows anything but is always identifying, naming, recording, remembering, sorting, or storing something.

•4 Your dead heart is being something by falsely claiming to be habits, self-concepts, self-images, types, and traits.

•5 Your dead soul is doing something by falsely claiming abilities, powers, and responsibilities you can never have.

•6 Your dead mind is claiming to know something by falsely claiming to be a source and to be knowledge.


#Being #Doing: 2018-08-08

•1 When listening to music are doing the music?

•2 When watching a movie are you doing the movie?

•3 When experiencing your life are you doing your life?

•4 Human doing is human claims to do, and humans are not even doing those claims.

•5 Human doing would only get in the way of being human, because humans are by hosting and amplifying signals, not by knowing, doing, or being signals.


#Sports #Cliches: 2018-08-07

•1 Don’t be “all heart” (sports cliche); instead, be all vessel.

•2 Don’t be “in the zone” (sports cliche); instead, be in host mode.

•3 Don’t “be the ball” (sports cliche); instead, host so intently that only the ball and you exist.

•4 Don’t have “ice water in your veins” (sports cliche); instead, settle deeply into your container nature.

•5 Don’t have “mental toughness” (sports cliche); instead, be lost in or totally absorbed in the act of hosting.


#Taste #Adaptable: 2018-08-06

•1 Taste is adaptable and knowing the dynamics of taste can help you to adapt faster, for example, to learn to eat healthy foods instead of processed to death chemical-based foods.

•2 An onion has many sensations and those who love to eat onions focus on some of it sensations while ignoring others and those who hate to eat onions focus on and ignore a different set of sensations.

•3 In addition to focusing on some sensations and ignoring others, taste also has an interpretative component such that some sensations are interpreted positively, negatively, or neutrally.

•4 When people say, “It is an acquired taste,” they mean that you train yourself to focus on and appreciate some sensations and to discount or ignore other sensations.

•5 So educate your palate to an adult taste for black, brown, purple, or red rice instead of white rice, and you will wind up preferring brown rice even if you used to love only white rice (instant sugar).


#One #Voice: 2018-08-05

•1 One voice inside speaks as and for you, others, and life.

#Desire #Compulsion: 2018-08-03

•1 Desire is an egg-shaped state of energy imbalance with a void at one end and compression at the other end along with a mental target.

•2 Any instant relief of the imbalance of a desire is experienced as pleasure with the intensity of the pleasure equaling the pressure of the imbalance.

•3 The more targets one desire has, the more intense that desire becomes until there are enough targets that the desire turns into a compulsion.

•4 Long-term goals produce a leaning towards one side of the energy balance with aligned or grouped goals creating a stronger leaning or tendency.

•5 The relief of long-term goals produces gratification, joy, satisfaction, and vindication in proportion to the work performed and obstacles overcome to achieve the goals.


#Full #Vacancy: 2018-08-02

•1 No Vacancy: Mind full of ego and self-esteem, no room for joy in God.

•2 No Vacancy: Mind full of covetousness or desire, no room for anything else.

•3 No Vacancy: Mind full of guilt and shame, no room for self-forgiveness or self-tolerance.

•4 No Vacancy: Mind full of anxiety and worry, no room for acceptance, peace, or surrender to God.

•5 No Vacancy: Mind full of anger and resentment, no room for charity, compassion, forgiveness, or understanding.


#Know #Not-Knowing: 2018-08-01

•1 Not-knowing is knowing and knowing is not-knowing.

•2 The way to know is to not know how to know.

•3 The way to do is to not know how to do.

•4 The way to be is to not know how to be.

•5 Knowing is never ours and is only in us by our not-knowing, because only when we are not claiming are we an empty vessel free to host and share knowing.


#Emotions #Sensations: 2018-07-31

•1 Emotions are sensations of sensations.

•2 You make contact with something using your inner senses or physical senses, and you receive sensations from this contact.

#Anxiety #Thought-things: 2018-07-30

•1 Chronic, compulsive, and problematic anxiety are about thought-things.

•2 Thought-things are considered to be realities; however, thoughts are not realities but can only be about or point to realities.

•3 Thought-things are self-proving, self-referential, and perpetual motion machines that trigger the survival instincts over imaginary problems.

•4 Common reality testing of thought-things is done by testing their existence; instead, learn to test thought-things against experiences and non-verbal reality.

•5 Thought-things have to be discounted, disputed, and deconstructed to stop their darkness, destruction, and domination.


#Fear #Thought-things: 2018-07-29

•1 The fear of something as a thought-thing (reified thought) will not be easily surrendered since the thought is considered real without having to match any reality other than itself.

•2 The fear of the consequences of something as thought-things (concretized thoughts) will not be easily surrendered since the thoughts are considered real without having to match any reality but themselves.

•3 Fears of thought-things are ghosts in your mind that haunt your survival impulses and continually trigger emotional and physical reactions to impending acute danger.

•4 The survival emotional and physical reactions to such irrational and unreasonable fears are rational and reasonable and need acceptance, not targeting as problematic.

•5 Target the thought-things (hypostatized thoughts) and deconstruct them and the rest will naturally subside over time from the lack of feeding.


#Humble #Pride: 2018-07-28

•1 Pride a.k.a. ego pleasure comes from claiming to know or to know better than another.

•2 It is far easier to find fault than it is to find value; therefore, it is far easier to claim to know bad, evil, or ugly than it is to know good, virtue, or beauty.

•3 Our addiction to the negative comes from our addiction to pride, to claiming to know evil from good.

•4 Know that the tools of pride are to blame, compare. complain, condemn, correct, criticize, curse, damn, find fault, judge, ostracize, point the finger, reject, renounce, and whine.

•5 Know that the tools of humility are to be slow to speak, care, empathize, forgive, give the benefit of the doubt, listen, live and let live, practice non-claiming to know, practice nondoing, show compassion, show kindness, think charitably about others, and understand.

•1 The sense is not the sensing.

•2 The sensing is not the sensations.

•3 The sensations are not the recognition.

•4 The recognition is not the categorization.

•5 The things that you sense, have sensations about, recognize, and categorize are not your senses, sensing, sensations, recognitions, or categorizations of them.


#Race #Person: 2018-07-20

•1 No person is a race, and no race is a person.

•2 Race does not exist except as a set of bodily characteristics a group of humans is likely to have as part of their physical makeup, not as a part of the makeup of their self.

•3 Yes, we can discuss human habits, personalities, qualities, styles, and traits, but when we do, we are never talking about a human being but only about the actions of human beings.

•4 A group of believers like Muslims is not a person nor a group of persons, because persons are never beliefs or ideologies; therefore, to be against Muslims is only to be against Islam, not any human beings.

•5 Categories by definition exist for discernment and are useful for talking about beliefs, ideologies, and things, but categories are not useful for talking about human individuals who can never be reduced to things and thoughts.

#Fix #Problems: 2018-07-17

•1 You will not fix your psychological problems.

•2 Your body will not fix your psychological problems.

•3 Your mind will not fix your psychological problems.

•4 Your trying with helpers, methods, practices, or rituals will not fix your psychological problems.

#Law #Rule: 2018-07-16

#Shared #Self-talk: 2018-07-14

•1 The most interesting thing about human couples is that they combine their individual self-talk patterns into one shared pattern with split roles for each partner.

•2 Men and women pair up knowing instinctively who shares and who does not share compatible self-talk patterns or roles. (Couples cannot be formed if the main individual self-talk patterns cannot be merged into one pattern, one dual set of roles.)

•3 For example, the nagging partner is the one who was most suited for the critical part of the merged self-talk pattern because it was dominant inside them, and while it seems to be their problem alone, they are just acting out one half of the shared couple role-talk.

•4 Look for one of the many dualities (addictive and codependent, aggressive and passive, abusive and victim, critical and accepting, disagreeable and agreeable, dominant and submissive, forward and withdrawing, negative and positive, vengeful and forgiving) and note how if one person in that duality leaves the relationship they then find the same duality and role in their next relationship.

•5 Change in relationships requires change in your self-talk, not change in anyone or anything else; and once you change your basic self-talk pattern the relationship has to adjust or end. (The other option is to surrender ego since the self-talk dualities only exist to maintain ego.)


#Dehumanize #Thingify: 2018-07-13

•1 Esteeming is only done between egos, because human nature is identical and one; esteem all humans equally lest you reify any.

•2 Judging is only done between egos, because human nature is identical and one; quit thingifying yourself and others as judgments.

•3 Comparing is only done between egos, because human nature is identical and one; quit comparing and concretizing yourself and others.

•4 Imagining yourself is imagining your ego, because human nature cannot be reduced to any amount of images; stop dehumanizing yourself and others as images.

•5 Conceptualizing yourself is conceptualizing your ego, because human nature cannot be reduced to any amount of concepts; stop hypostatizing yourself and others as concepts.


#Country #Borders: 2018-07-12

#Activist #Politician: 2018-07-09

• Politicians and activists are often part of the problem, not the solution, because they exploit problems for fame, funding, pride, and votes.

• Politicians and activists are often part of the problem, not the solution, because they spout slogans that hide the manifold causes and roots of problems.

• Politicians and activists are often part of the problem, not the solution, because instead of problem-solving they propose blind, disproven, limited, narrow, politically correct, or unproven solutions.

• Politicians and activists are often part of the problem, not the solution, because instead of seeking to understand all of the factors that go into causing problems like poverty and violence, they promote programs that address only political issues but satisfy mob emotions and outrage.

• Politicians and activists should wake up to their lack of care, compassion, conscience, and integrity and take some problem-solving courses to learn how to recognize and deal with all the variables of problems while testing potential solutions regardless of their political source.


#Being #Lost: 2018-07-08

• What if you discovered that your self-talk was feeding on your life energy and time while depriving you of happiness and peace?


#Pleasure #Levels: 2018-06-27

• The lowest pleasure is ego pleasure, which is pleasure in knowing. (The pleasure is the same though the knowing can be positive or negative: high self-esteem or low self-esteem, pride or shame, good or evil, superior or inferior.)

• The next level is pleasure in bodily sensations such as physically enjoying a hot bath or a massage.

• Above that is pleasure in the external world such as enjoying an expansive mountain view or a beautiful sunset.

• Higher still is pleasure in being used, in serving as a host or vessel for creating, managing, organizing, performing, producing, or reasoning.

• The highest pleasure is pleasure in God, in Spirit. It is impossible to give examples because examples cannot be, contain, or even point to the experience. (Pleasure in Spirit has nothing to do with pleasure in idols, which is a form of ego pleasure. Idols are anything that claims to lead to, point to, represent, signify, or symbolize God in any way.)


#Standard #Exceptions: 2018-06-26

#Suicide #Eternal: 2018-06-19

• Suicide is the door to eternal pain.

• It is a lie that suicide ends your pain, because suicide guarantees your pain eternal repetition.

• Suicide is the betrayal of the highest value, which is life, a gift that you cannot get back once rejected.

• The pain driving you to suicide exists in your internal world, and escaping the physical world will not help you to escape your internal world.

• People are mainly victims of themselves.

• People are mainly victims of their own actions and attitudes.

• People are mainly victims of their own self-talk because their self-talk is the main conditioner of their feelings, thoughts, and actions.

• Inside your body, is your sentience or awareness of experiencing located in your transceiver or vessel nature that functions as a receiver and resender of experiences and signals?


#Self-defeating #Failing: 2018-06-15

• Why do we get fixated on failing when that makes it worse? Because we want the pride of knowing evil (bad or wrong) more than we want success.

• How do we know evil? We know both good and evil by giving our identity to some knowledge of good or evil.

• Why does giving our identity to knowledge convince us that we know? Because by identifying with something we claim it, contain it, have it, own it, possess it; and, psychologically, we are it.

• Why is claiming to know so important to us? Because such claims are the basis for ego, pride, and high self-esteem a.k.a. ego pleasure.

• What can we do instead? We can surrender our ego, stop claiming to know, and give all glory and praise to God alone.


#Try #Failing: 2018-06-14

• Trying fails because it is a form of no-ting, of denying failure and thereby focusing on failure.

• Complaining and whining fail because they are a form of no-ting, of denying some negative reality and thereby focusing on, feeding, and increasing that negative reality.

• Anger and meanness fail because they are a form of no-ting, of suppressing some negative reality and thereby focusing on, feeding, and increasing that negative reality.

• Blaming and damning fail because they are a form of no-ting, of wanting some negative reality that exists not to exist and thereby fortifying and reinforcing that negative reality with undue attention.

#No-ting #Problem: 2018-06-10

• Thinking something should not be (no-ting) will not cause you to be magically rescued from it.

• Change your attitude, emotions, outlook, responses, and results by focusing on solutions to problems instead of on the problems themselves.


#Pleasure #Sensations: 2018-06-09

• Pleasure is sensations of beauty and pain is sensations of ugliness, and these sensations are themselves either beautiful or ugly on a microscopic level.

• To not panic from pain, you must detach from the pain.

• To not panic over ego pain (negative self-esteem), you must deconstruct your ego pain into the nonsense that it is.

• To not panic over pain, you can dissociate the pain from your body and mind as a way to gain perspective, which you can then use to cope with or to problem-solve the pain.

• To detach from pain learn to not make it personal or life-threatening; but, of course, if the pain is life-threatening then panic might save your life by getting you to fight or flee the source of the pain.


#Wrong #Right: 2018-06-02

• History teaches that humans must pursue doing things the wrong ways before they are ever going to find the best ways to do things; therefore, forgive others and yourself for failing while learning.

• Humans must seek to have the wrong information if they are ever going to have the correct information; because there is simply too much misinformation, misinterpretation, and misrepresentation in the world for it not to cloud and infect your thinking.

• You will make mistakes many times before you learn the best ways to do things; therefore, greet your mistakes as steps to your goal of learning the best ways.

• You will have the wrong opinion (model) many times before you will have an accurate, best, functional, or right opinion about something; therefore, greet recognizing your wrong opinions (models) as progress along the process of discovery.

• Self-talk tells you that you are defective, inferior, stupid, or worthless without the fix of an addiction or compulsion, but it is the self-talk that will become some kind of inferior, not you.
