QUESTION OF THE DAY: SELF-REFLECTION IS ESSENTIAL FOR SURVIVAL

yes to this one... at times for me....:Love to you 2::thank you 3:

Thank you for your comment, ALL IS ONE IS ALL. I would think this applies to so many people. Going through the whole spectrum of emotions can be achieved, for example, by doing the AWARENESS UNDERSTANDING MEDITATION and DYNAMIC MEDITATION used and recommended by Osho. This can have astonishing effects of "release", and everyone feels refreshed afterwards.

Emotions which are pent up for along periods of time will explode at the "wrong" moment, causing complete consternation in others who are least expecting it, thus ruining relationships. It is also exhausting for the person concerned - keeping up appearances - like wearing a mask all the time and never actually being authentic.

And finally, repressed emotions have a negative influence on the physcial body, causing illness and disease, and reducing the immune system. In view of present circumstances, not a good place to be ....

This is an interesting one. Manifesto can be written for oneself, or for one's family, or nation, or planet ... what does the body of the planet need? I would say REST, LOVE, UNDERSTANDING and a PAUSE TO ALLOW REGENERATION.

Dear Readers: I am editing this to say that PERSONAL WORK ON ONESELF IS ESSENTIAL IN THESE END TIMES. This is why I started the thread. It is offering you a CHANCE TO SURVIVE.

The "end times" involve a sorting out of those who are able to self-reflect and to learn, and those who cannot. Earth is on the brink of tossing off those who cannot learn, for their vibration cannot keep up with or match her increasing vibration.

This process is also being accelerated by incoming cosmic energies, see [link to spaceweathernopecom (secure)] which force all hidden, suppressed issues to the surface, whether political, global, social or personal. this crisis period is also a CHANCE to improve, and to choose a way of living which is in alignment with cosmic law.

Many people are now in quarantine and have the TIME to reflect. This thread is for you.

And here is the question for today:

What message are unfortunate events trying to give you?

Hi OP. Do you know any techniques which can enable this to happen? It's something which I'd like to work on.

Thank you for your question, AC.

The problem with feelings of anger is that they often build up because they have not been expressed at the right time. For example, if someone has been abusing you or insulting you for some time, and if you have said nothing and have just bourne it out, there is unexpressed anger inside you. This means that if someone else comes along, who you do not know well, and makes a flippant remark which you perceive as similar abuse, you may explode with anger. But this anger is misdirected. You are firing at the wrong person. Anyone can come along and "trigger" you. And this can get you into fights or - if you are a nation - INTO WARS.

As to methods: sit opposite a person you can trust. They will play the role of the person you are angry at. Tell them why you are angry (the other person does not have to respond, but can if they want). Make sure that there is mattress or cushions or something similar as a barrier between you. When you feel yourself getting angry, scream and hit the mattress. This might go on for some time. Get is all out. The person opposite you may say things from time to time to help you get it out. At some part in this process it will become clear to you that you also carry some responsibility for what has happened. For example, acting as a victim and not stating your feelings earlier. When this sort of recognition comes, you will no longer feel the need to scream. You will probably cry. Then you can reconcile yourself with the person sitting opposite you.

That is "relieving the symptoms". Getting rid of the cause is done by BECOMING INCREASINGLY AWARE OF WHEN YOU DO NOT EXPRESS YOUR FEELINGS IMMEDIATELY.

I do not know if this "fits" your situation, AC. It is a description of what I have seen and also personally experienced in a great many group therapy scenarios. If you are by yourself, it is also possible to go to an isolated spot and just scream. Which leads me to another great question:

WHEN DID YOU LAST SCREAM?

Another method could be tracking yourself. writing the sentence I AM CALM ten times in the morning and 10 times at night. Follow this with any thoughts which immediately arise. Write without thinking. The result might be as follows:

I AM CALM at the moment, but I was very edgy when I visited my friend yesterday.
I AM CALM well yes, most people think I am
I AM CALM I am wondering how much of the time I am really pent up
I AM CALM today at 11.00 I was proud of myself for speaking up.

If this is kept up for a while, you will gradually see a change in your answers to I AM CALM, because your awareness has been heightened.

Wishing you and everyone here all the best on their personal journeys.

Until I read your reply I had never realised that by getting angry about a couple of things which have happened to me in the past I have actually been behaving like a victim. I can see that clearly now, another 'ah ahh' moment. Thank you OP your insights are incredibly helpful.

Thank you so much for your feedback, AC

Well, I think we can all benefit from a LITTLE self-reflection. However, too much and you become a nutcase.

So true, GA Girl. Some develop a sort of paranoia about whether they are doing things "right", and run from one seminar to the next to seek "enlightenment".

The idea is to become continuous authentic and balanced. If we notice that we are not - if we easily "fly of the handle" or are chronically angry or mostly sad - then working on ourselves is a very positive thing. The most important thing in the end is if we are MANIFESTING THE DIVINE ON THIS EARTH, as this is our mandate. If, for whatever reason, we are not doing this, and following our vocation in order to give the very best of service to others, then it is time to look at that. Especially now as we stand before a "parting of ways".

This period of stillness, imposed by "quarantine", is among others things designed to allow everyone an opportunity to reflect on how things got into this state, how things don't add up, and how we ourselves have contributed to it. Many have NEVER self-reflected. This is the golden opportunity.

Thank you again for your comment.

Dear Readers: I am editing this to say that PERSONAL WORK ON ONESELF IS ESSENTIAL IN THESE END TIMES. This is why I started the thread. It is offering you a CHANCE TO SURVIVE. Also, MENTAL HEALTH = PHYSICAL HEALTH. Those who have a very high level of spirituality CAN COUNTERACT ILLNESS BETTER, or it does not arise.

The "end times" involve a sorting out of those who are able to self-reflect and to learn, and those who cannot. Earth is on the brink of tossing off those who cannot learn, for their vibration cannot keep up with or match her increasing vibration.

Color Crusader.. space weather links not allowed here and I cannot conceptualize why not.

I haven't tried to see if anyone else has the piece ...

Conspiracy theorist/heretic here. Got out to the middle of the desert. Well stocked and ready. Guns,Ammo food medical supplies new trailer to head out further when the anarchy hits. Gonna eat good until they come for me.

Yeshua is king.

and exactly how many can do that? I can't for example. Who is coming for you? NOBODY unless you are reported missing maybe... This is EXCESSIVE reaction... we have no big anarchy coming.. This is the Millennial Reign and those of God and Christ Jesus.. while they should prepare for various reasons.. do not need to go to the desert...

omg, kooks just like the Black Plague

This sounds awesome - marking to ready later, but from what little I did read, I agree. 5 stars OP.

Yesterday I worked in my garden for hours. Then, I got to sit in the yard with my wife and step son. Just hanging out, talking, and being together. I spent hours hanging out with my wife before bed--just hanging out--something we haven't done in a long time. I've read this past week more than I've read in a long time, and I've cried in the shower. I've also been writing and praying again.

Basically, I feel more "ready" to handle this situation do to the opportunities I've had just this week alone to ground myself in what is important again. It is nice.

Yeshua/Jesus/Esu is indeed King. And he taught that the kingdom of god is within you. Perhaps you will also find it in the middle of a desert, LOL, I don't know!
If you are alone in the middle of the desert, who is there to shoot at? And how is this helping your fellow human, as Yeshua advised? Good luck.

It is indeed an awesome time to be alive, Blue Triqueta (GREAT NAME!)as this is the time of transition to a new age . Thank you for your comment.

This is fantastic testimony to the fact that we all need TIME to slow down and experience the consequences of that. Time in nature is so healing. All my compassion goes to those who do not have a garden or the opportunity to walk in forests or meadows at this difficult time. And the miracle which is SPRING is in full force. Every day, myriad changes and tremendous growth. This is what we must also get used to in the times of transition - tremendous changes and fast growth. This is for those people who can learn. We need to be creative and flexible.

I am very touched that you should share with us your personal experiences. It sounds as if you have been under a lot of stress, and that now you have time to ground yourself. May you connect with your inner divine core during your writing and bring forth wisdom which will help others. Thank you for your contribution.

holy cow

you should be ashamed of yourself OP.

you need to learn from experience not BS.

being good does not guarantee success and being bad does not guarantee failure.

5 year old children die everyday.

and what you wrote.. you will wake up and realize its not true. Nothing is guaranteed.

And the biggest atheist in the world Richard Dawkins is actually the most holiest and pure. Because he is a scientist who says he would recognize god.

But most importantly he doesn't spew indoctrination.

its people like you that have caused destruction to the whole world.

Now its my time to shake my head and finger at you.
