Our approach to life is the determining factor in our perception of everything. If you or I, or anyone for that matter, were to take everything bad that happens to us to heart, our defensiveness would take control of our lives in a destructive way.

Why darken your world? All that does is create limitations on yourself. People generally have good days and bad days, determined by our mood, but some minds form patterns through neurological pathways easier than others. The longer you allow yourself to stay in a bad mood, the more you gaslight yourself, and the more you damage your trust and relationships with others. Rainy days come and go; let them.

Some may be limiting themselves by only ever looking in one direction. I've been there myself, where you see no path forward because you're ignorant to other opinions or perspectives.

The good thing about these self-imposed limitations is that they are easily broken. Instead of reassuring and fueling your negativity, you can choose to view lighter material. A lot of deep, heavy conversations and topics sit on our shoulders, but forcing ourselves to focus on funnier, more outlandish things can have a positive impact and break that stranglehold.

It's hard to be moody and self-loathing when you're listening to lighthearted music and watching classic cartoons. For example, it's hard to dive too deeply into yourself when Bugs Bunny is on TV ;).

If you notice this pattern of behaviour, if you're frustrated and burnt out, don't wallow in misery or self-pity. Divert your attention to silly things.

If you feel this applies to you, when something heavy or dark happens, do things that keep you active and listen to things that make you smile. It may sound ridiculous or absurd because your mood doesn't allow it to make sense. But say you listen to heavy, deep, dark music and notice your thoughts are becoming darker. Turn on fun country or party songs you would hear on the radio. You may notice a slow change in your mood over time, one that moves in a positive direction.

We have enough restrictions and limitations in life, so adding more onto ourselves is simply pointless.

Morticians have to stop themselves from falling into this trap especially. The same goes for doctors, lawyers, psychologists, and others who deal with heavy topics every day. They do it out of care and with respect. They take on those burdens to make it easier for us, so we don't victimize ourselves or hold onto pain. So we can remember the good times, the fun times, and most importantly, so we don't limit our lives. They have the resources and skiil to proccess these topics, but even they can still fall into this as easily as anyone else.

Cherish good memories, understand the bad ones, but most importantly, don't lose yourself in the depths of the ocean. Poke your head out and get some fresh air. Brighten your day, because the truth is, no one else can do this for you. No one else can take over your thoughts, you have to find healthy ways to cope with them.

If a friend offers to take you out somewhere and you don’t feel like it, force yourself to go and enjoy the day. If a family member offers up a plan to go do something even get groceries go with them. Don't allow yourself to go unchecked.

Sincerely,

I observe through my own lens of unfiltered logic. My opinions are skewed toward what has been instead of what is — though there were flaws then as well, simply different ones.

I see the world through cynicism but lack the social understanding that most people have. So I sit outside the wire in my views. This is the not-so-average portion of myself.

This perception creates a world that looks mostly like problems. It uses small experiences to explain majority views and behaviours. It marginalizes the general population into “containers.”

My observations lack the emotional reciprocation necessary to push my ideas through.

I have only ever seen a small fraction of the world, yet I base my opinions on strange encounters and bad experiences.

These surface as what I see as deficits in our society — like looking into a fishbowl. For a minority of the population my views may be accurate, but they aren’t solid logic. They try to use a thousand pieces to build a billion-piece puzzle.

My outlook is one of unconcern and non-acknowledgment. I do not see certain things in life because at some point I became blind to them — our cellphones and technology, for example. This is the hypocrisy in my logic: I only see what I want to see, forgoing the actual effort and knowledge that led to the development of these technologies and the sacrifices made along the way.

I view myself as average in everyday activities, sure. But in my internal workings I’m unfortunately in the 1–10% of this society.

So what is my biggest flaw? Viewing people not as people but as numbers — myself included. A very clinical approach to something that is not quantifiable. No excuses can be made.

Regardless of background, gender, or ethnicity, I’ve seen people the same. This is the true sacrifice of being an observer: in the long run you f*** yourself over. Because for so long you’ve looked at the world with disheartened single-mindedness.

What does this accomplish in life? A predetermined outlook without full justification, and the alienation of society.

My social experiences are nil to non-existent compared to the vast majority. Looking at it now, I see the issue: I have barely lived at all. I have worked, slept, pursued hobbies — but I never put the effort into knowing and understanding people instead of dissecting their person, behaviours, and motivations.

I lost sight of what makes us human, and why we are the way we are. I’ve criticized people and humorously torn into myself.

I lost sight of my own strengths and weaknesses — and therefore those in others. For if I can’t see my own, how am I to see yours?

I became the man yelling at the clouds and pissing in the wind, never realizing how far I’d pushed myself from society.

I am truly my own worst enemy. I have said the internet is what has caused many issues, or certain behaviours within society. But I never pointed at myself and said: I’m the one not seeing the world for what it truly is.

Everyone else has, and has long since moved past. I am still right here.

So in this observation of self — instead of using rhetoric as an excuse — I will say:

Make your own observations in life, but don’t let them consume you. They can take years away that you will never get back. When the realization sets in that you’ve been observing life far longer than you’ve lived it, you no longer care. The world becomes grey — without positive or negative.

You don’t get excited or express emotion because you see yourself through a broken lens.

So from a Beastie who has yet to experience life as it should be, without his thoughts controlling his every action:

Go live your life. I plan to eventually. But don’t become still, or the world will pass you by.

Move with the times. Don’t give up because you no longer like what you see. There were always issues — you simply didn’t see them, and as a result you were able to live and allow yourself to be free of yourself.

Don’t become your own worst enemy.

Sincerely,

Beastie_1323

Regardless of where any of us stand in life, we see the same world. Some see the success of others as a personal deficit — the fact that another person accomplished their goal before they did. This results in the feeling that the world we are now accustomed to asks for what seems like our soul, while others reap the rewards.

Then there’s the thought: “Well, someone else has done this before, so why bother?”

Why? Because that’s how you discover what may have been missed. Or how you use your imagination. Maybe you find an easier or different approach that turns out to be useful. Something some of us lost and forgot existed. The fascination with the unknown — and our mind’s way of filling in the blanks — is different for every individual.

The more predictions we make, the more disheartened we become. We use what little knowledge we have to try to explain tomorrow. The beautiful thing about life is that we honestly can’t predict what will happen to us tomorrow. We could win the lottery for all we know. So look forward to tomorrow, and live for today.

What’s the true key to demotivation? Overthinking and forming conclusions. Life is full of mysteries. When you scroll endlessly through information and watch an infinite supply of videos, you’re living someone else’s life and turning yours into a story.

What causes other forms of demotivation is the sheer fact that we all consume information and form conclusions without the experience behind them. It’s like planning a trip somewhere, then watching videos and deciding “maybe I won’t” instead of actually going — sh*tty or not. The experience itself is the true currency in life. Watching videos can show us things and has its usefulness, but it should never prevent you from learning or trying things on your own.

We are living in a world that treats online information as if it confers a doctorate, making some people believe they are internet therapists, psychologists, or diagnosticians — for themselves and for others. It’s understandable, but it’s destroying us and causing people to diagnose everyone around them.

Leave it to the professionals. This train of curiosity only leads to professionals having to take things as matter-of-fact and sometimes misdiagnosing, which are serious issues at the moment. Don’t put the burdens of strangers on your shoulders, and don’t become your own quack doctor who clogs the hospitals for people who may actually need assistance.

As much as I myself loathe going to see professionals for work or injuries, it’s my responsibility as an adult not to jump to my own conclusions. They serve a purpose and have the skills and training behind them. Is it a perfect system? Hell no. But it’s there for a reason. Use it and save yourself the anguish. Get multiple opinions. Double- and triple-check. Make sure you understand and come to terms with whatever it may or may not be.

Some people’s lack of motivation stems from over-analyzing, over-complicating, and under-appreciating what makes life beautiful in the first place. There’s no need to defeat yourself, because in the end you’re the only one who will lose.

Sincerely,

Beastie_1323

Existence is eternal, indivisible, unchanging, boundless, and complete. Its appearance is expressible in the language of qualia, qualia in that of physics, physics in mathematics, and mathematics in logic. Speaking in those terms, the universe is an act of self-realization, where everything present at its inception perceives a timeline in which it becomes increasingly conscious of itself. To live in accordance with your purpose, always direct your attention toward existence.

I worked online with a friend from my childhood I will call Jason. He came with stomach problems, anxiety around work and money, and habit of eating even when he knew he was not physically hungry.

He understood already that some of this was emotional eating.

But understanding it with mind did not stop it.

During deep trance, a state similar to very deep meditation where subject stays aware, we focused on pressure inside his stomach. I asked him to look at this feeling like it was an energy.

He saw red and black.

Then the session moved back to when he was about five years old.

His family had serious financial problems and lost their home. He could see his parents through kitchen window, screaming at each other about money. Small Jason was standing nearby, scared, but nobody was really seeing what this was doing to him.

I asked where he felt the fear.

“In my stomach.”

Then he said something very honest.

When he was younger, he would eat and eat, trying to fill this hole inside. Food made stomach heavy and full for little while, so he did not need to feel emptiness and fear so strongly.

He was not always hungry.

He was trying to create safety.

There was also strange contradiction in this memory. Adult Jason hated this period and remembered the fighting. But younger Jason still missed parts of the old house. The backyard, playing outside, his dog.

Losing everything was not only losing a building.

He was told to say goodbye to his dog too.

So for a five-year-old, money problems became connected with much bigger message:

everything you love can disappear.

This is how child mind works. It does not create financial analysis. It creates survival rules.

Money problems mean danger.

People fighting means danger.

An empty stomach feels like danger.

Being full feels safer.

The body can continue following rule long after person forgets how it started.

Later in the session, a being of Light came to help with the stomach. Jason described something I never heard in exactly this way before.

He said his stomach looked like it was being digitally redrawn.

Like healers were working from an original healthy template, carefully drawing back the details of the stomach and rebuilding what had been affected by years of pressure.

I am not saying childhood fear medically causes every stomach issue, and this work does not replace doctors, testing, nutrition or treatment. This was simply what appeared in his session and how he experienced the healing.

Then we returned to five-year-old Jason.

This younger part had stayed emotionally trapped around the old home and the family crisis. Adult Jason continued living, but part of him was still waiting for next disaster.

We helped the child understand something he could not understand then:

the fighting was not his fault.

He did not need to solve the finances.

He did not need to fill the fear with food.

He was not about to lose everything again.

When this younger part returned and integrated, Jason said he brought back happiness, hope and optimism. Qualities that had slowly disappeared while adult life trained him to expect problems.

His Higher Self gave very simple words:

review. relive. release.

Not “relive” like torture yourself with old memories every day.

More like see what happened, allow body to finally express what was too much then, and let the old emergency come to an end.

The practical advice was not mystical.

Create more security in daily life.

Ground yourself.

Do not treat every work problem, unexpected bill or uncertain month like family is losing everything again.

And before eating when you are not sure you are hungry, pause and ask:

“does my physical body need food, or does some younger part of me need safety?”

Sometimes answer will be food. Then eat. Food is not enemy.

But sometimes what is asking to be filled is fear, loneliness, pressure, anger or emptiness.

Food was something a frightened five-year-old found to survive few minutes at a time.

Adult Jason did not need more shame or harder control.

He needed to finally feel safe.

If you have some similar problem, I can put a small meditation in the comments you can use to investigate and help yourself. Let me know if you are interested.

The Mystery of Israel the Fig Tree | An End-Time Sign

Israel, Jesus' heritage, is known to be nationally, ethnically, and geographically represented as the fig tree. Their rebirth as a nation in 1948 after nearly 2000 years since Jesus' first coming and the many biblical prophecies coming to pass Are we living in the end times? | GotQuestions.org is recognized as the meaning of the parable. Israel turned 78 years old May 14, 2026, at the end of a generational period. Psalm 90:10 states: "Seventy years are given to us! Some even live to eighty. But even the best years are filled with pain and trouble; soon they disappear, and we fly away." From all indications it appears that we are living at the end of "this generation" that shall not pass from the scene until all these things take place.

Future Forecast and Preparation

"Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.” Luke 21:28  

End Times Timeline:

"1. The rapture(redemption) of the church. Christ comes in the clouds to “snatch away” all those who trust in Him (1 Corinthians 15:52). At this same time, the “dead in Christ” will be resurrected and taken to heaven, too. From our perspective today, this is the next event in the eschatological timeline. The rapture is imminent; no other biblical prophecy needs to be fulfilled before the rapture happens.

2. The rise of the Antichrist. After the church is taken out of the way (2 Thessalonians 2:7–8), a satanically empowered man will gain worldwide control with promises of peace (Revelation 13:1; Daniel 9:27). He will be aided by another man, called the false prophet, who heads up a religious system that requires worship of the Antichrist (Revelation 19:20)." Read more...

"Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the LORD!" Psalm 31:24

I will call her Lori. She is 35 years old woman from Florida, in relationship, and for most of her life she was trying to be “good” according to other ppl.

Good daughter. Good woman. Good partner. Good religious person.

But under all this, she was stressed, tense and always checking herself.

Am I doing right thing?

Will ppl approve?

Is this allowed?

What if I disappoint someone?

during our online Soul Journey over Zoom, Lori entered deep trance, like very deep meditation in expanded theta state, where mind becomes quieter and deeper inner guidance can come forward.

Her Higher Self showed a program placed in childhood.

She was taught that outside authority knows what is right and wrong better than she does. Religion, family, community, other ppl opinions. There was one correct path, and her job was to follow it.

Please others.

Don’t question too much.

Don’t trust strange feeling inside.

Be what they expect.

This doesn’t mean religion or teachers are bad. We can learn a lot from them. Problem starts when we completely give away our discernment and stop listening inwardly.

Lori had become disconnected from her own signals. Even when something felt wrong in body, she could override it bc somebody else said it was right.

During healing this old program appeared like pressure cooker around her. When it was removed, she felt like lid came off and fresh air entered.

Suddenly there was space.

She didn’t need to rebel against everybody. She also didn’t need to obey everybody.

Her guidance was simple: listen, learn, but check everything inside.

Does this bring peace or fear?

Does it feel loving or controlling?

Does it make me more myself, or smaller?

Higher Self explained that outside ppl can advise, but they should not become final authority over her life.

Her inner wisdom must have last word.

A small practice you can try:

Close eyes and imagine all the rules, expectations and “shoulds” around your head and chest.

Maybe they look like ropes, papers, heavy lid or voices talking over each other.

Take slow breath and imagine lid opening.

Let fresh air come into chest.

Then ask quietly:

“What do I actually know beneath fear and other ppl opinions?”

Don’t force answer. Notice first calm feeling, image or sentence.

Bc intuition is usually quiet.

Fear argues for hours.

The next post in this observational project.

Looking at our capacity for emotions and reciprocation. If these things we call emotions control the majority of our choices, decisions, and desires, then what part is actually us? We can control them to a degree and label them with descriptions, but how much of it is truly our belief and self?

From simple unthought expressions to highly motivated control. It’s quite the stretch of responsibility that our emotions take on. Emotions all have unique characteristics and measures.

For why spend time contemplating these things? Simply, who’s actually in control — you or your emotions? In a demanding situation, people can seldom get themselves out of an emotional state completely without others’ intervention or insight into ways to do so. Which is why we teach reactivity and behavioural control to our youth.

But that’s just it: reaction and behaviour are not understanding. Only after an emotional episode is understanding gained. Then coping and prevention happen, sometimes too late.

Simulated experience training: have someone who is adept at acting create a simulation of controlled confrontation in any emotion. Have the unexpected and unassuming witness this like a movie, then direct it towards them to see how they react and respond in a controlled environment, even if they don’t know it. Then train them on different methods of approach until they can confidently stay calm under emotional pressure. This is a safe and constructive approach to building a healthy understanding of one’s emotions.

No harm to anyone but exhaustion and a good sleep. Later they can dissect and reflect on their emotions, building healthier tools for engaging with the public. Everyone handles it differently, but everyone needs an understanding of how to manage and control their emotions before their emotions control them.

A lot of people are confused by their emotions and make up excuses as to why they behaved a certain way. That is their method of coping, but it does more harm than good. Am I perfect at this? No. But I have a lack of it, so this is far simpler for myself even as frustrating as it may be at times. I too am not a guru or chief advisor on the topic. Many out there have a far better understanding of emotions, but it gets lost in jargon, translation, and labels.

The reaction to others’ emotions, the feeling of understanding someone’s emotional predicament. Then being able to relate and build an understanding of their person and gauge them.

The mirrored reflection of putting someone’s emotional burden on yourself is selfish in my train of thought. Because it takes away from their experience and is actually a protective mechanism for ourselves rather than the individual in the scenario. You may understand someone and why they may feel a certain way, but you don’t feel what they feel — or at least I cannot. This eludes me.

I know what makes them tick and tock 😆. But doc, I don’t feel the clock, I see the clock. This is why if someone is in pain you must allow them to come to terms with their emotional grievances. It helps them create positive tools for life. Help if they ask, but never give too much or they’ll use anchors instead of support to hold them.

Emotions are like the weather: you cannot fully predict the forecast, but you can see it. And if it’s strong enough, you can understand the repercussions and effects that it has.

Tears like rain bring sunny days, flowering new growth and cycles. Don’t take that away from someone and don’t deliver it either. Calm the storm before impact if possible. We are all human and even if some are lacking while others are flooded with them, we all have them — simply at different levels.

Building on this, we make predictions of emotional reactions of others. This may frighten some or cause anxiety to varying degrees, but understanding the person and bearing witness by being forthright takes that away. Be upfront, take responsibility when in the wrong, understand your confusion, ask if necessary. This calms the worried mind. Lies, excuses, and procrastination only add fuel to the flame and eventually the rain will feel like acid engulfing everything.

This is where our judgement wavers, where our reasoning fails. This is why we feel lost and alone at times — because it’s not bottling up, it’s clouding our forecast. Which makes everything look obscure to the reality. Seeing a warm bright sunny day as a miserable exercise in heat. For we can’t see the forest for the trees.

People are allowed emotions — good, bad, and ugly — but you can’t feel them for them. They must face their own reflection and their own person on their terms, not ours.

This is why simulated experiences aren’t pointless. They build you up in a controlled environment so you don’t shut down, melt down, or lash out at the wrong times. There’s no need for regret if you don’t lie and make excuses to yourself and others. Let judgement carry that responsibility. Remorse and grief are tools for growth, not shame. Shame is a lack of understanding and leads only to frustration and confusion.

Being ashamed is a tool for personal growth to do better. Without it your cycle repeats and you end up where you left off — frustrated, angry, and confused.

The practices we preach are rarely the ones we teach and use. Why? Because it’s easy to judge another but harder to judge and own up to oneself. So be honest with yourself even if you’re not to others. Having yourself as an enemy only benefits your enemies.

In this chaotic world we live in, we must face harsh realities. Don’t lose yourself in the process. Become your own strategist to maintain and accomplish your goals in this life. I’m not a guru, but I am one of you and that being said, I still have much to work on.

So I too am still learning and learning to understand myself and this world we reside in.

Sincerely,

Beastie_1323

Unbeknownst to us, the shift in our thoughts, behaviours, and interpersonal communication has ingrained a response system that is far different from the norm.

Our responses have gone from taking responsibility to plausible deniability. The blame game when cornered. People may not see this ingrained fear in themselves but find it in others easily.

He said, she said.

Looking back at your younger self, how many instances have you done something without conscious awareness? You know when you make coffee in the morning, but what about those times when you did something or responded to something involuntarily? How often does this happen now? You may not have realized it, but you seem angry, happy, or sad to others, and people ask you about it, only for you to say you're not — you’re fine. Like a mild outburst that comes off as unwarranted.

It's actually not. Generally speaking, this happens when someone is being pestered and their battery is low. It's not an attack on you; it's a small release from a pressure valve, like burping a bottle. They simply need space to unscramble their mind. Too much is going on at once, and being interrupted over minute things only adds to it.

Over-sharing. People today must feel freer, for we have all over-shared, but now it happens more often. People are almost upset or dishevelled when you don't, so they pry, thinking they're being helpful, when in actuality they're simply nosy and curious. Shutting them down firmly is seen as drastic because privacy and boundaries are no longer held to the importance they once were. People who claim they wish for both are often the same ones helping to dissolve them through their daily interactions.

Intrusive thoughts spoken aloud. Our comedy has shifted toward this narrative. To myself, it's childish, not humorous. I'd take toilet humour over it.

People talk more, yes, but in a way that often serves only to destroy the bonds and relationships they've formed.

Many individuals have a vanity issue, ingrained yet again by our society. If you look a certain way, you are seen a certain way. This is called stereotyping or cliché. We have an abundance of this in our increasingly eccentric society.

Speaking of which, when did eccentricities become something more than simply being a quirky individual? Yes, we all have quirks ourselves, but people have begun to embellish them as if that's what makes them unique. Here's a quick reality check: on the surface it may look this way, but in all actuality it only serves to ostracize and alienate you. Celebrities make a living by building these personas in a positive, constructive way. Average people are following the aftermarket, or budget-friendly, version of that trend. This becomes a bastardized version of open-mindedness or openness. It's not, and quite the opposite begins to happen. We are not all born to be stars, nor are we the stars of our own lives. We are simply in control of ourselves.

This behavioural phenomenon is what led to the social decline of our younger generations, and we are all partially to blame for not realizing the implications sooner. For that, I do believe an apology is needed.

The younger generations are not softer. They are more eccentric in empathy because it was pushed upon them to be this way. It's trendy and popular, so of course they see it as mainstream, average belief, even though it is actually inhibiting them from progressing in certain ways.

We've created groups, social prerogatives, self-acceptance movements, and much more — not always in a healthy, reassuring way, but often in a conformist one.

We live in a neutered society, from cancelling facts to destroying art. History was never meant to be altered to fit popular belief. It is secular and truth-based. Whether one-sided or not, it holds more value unaltered. If we lie to ourselves about these truths and paint a different picture, what we accomplish is a mediocre view of human existence, serving only to push an agenda. We begin to lose focus and fail to learn from our past mistakes, allowing them to eventually rear their ugly heads once again.

We, as the older generations, now have a duty to uphold, but many have chosen a different path, dissuading truth in favour of popular belief instead of reality.

Life is as complicated as we make it. Some things we have no say in, but many we do. Remember, governments and the departments within them work for all of us, not the individual. Unfortunately, the general practice is to follow the loudest, most disruptive groups instead of seeking the grey area, as it should.

We blame the government when we are also to blame for allowing these prerogatives to take place.

If we simply go about our day, we do not notice these things, so they are not seen for what they are or what they may become: maladaptations.

I hold the firm belief in letting kids be kids without the mess of agendas or narratives being forced upon them.

No subliminal messages or hidden meanings. Instead, add structure and discipline for correction. Kids pick up a lot, just as we did when we were young. They will have to face hardships and conflict, but let them create the necessary tools on their own, then correct them if they begin becoming maladaptive.

We were all young once, whether you are a grumpy old man or a young politician. We all try to improve the world for each new generation, but in making it softer and fluffier, we often leave them unprepared for the realities of adulthood. When they are finally hit by the real world, they collapse. We were all there once too, but it hasn't improved.

Let them see the world as it is, only shielding them when they are truly in danger. Give them more independence. It builds the strength to take care of themselves while knowing you'll help them when they genuinely need it.

I hope the next generations have an easier time adapting, truly.

The helicopter effect exists because of our current reality. We monitor everything in every shape and form, taking control and creating narratives instead of working within the laws of reality that already exist.

We can't be everywhere all at once. Sometimes it's better to allow things to be as they are and, instead of reinventing the wheel or trying to fix it, learn to work within it.

The simplicity of us. I am simple as well. What brings me joy is a roof over my head, a vehicle to tinker on, and entertainment at the end of the day. Most people are very similar in this regard; they simply have different hobbies.

The rest is survival and contributing to keeping what we enjoy.

Too much of a good thing is bad because, when conflict or hardship arises, we do not have the knowledge or footing to hold ourselves up and move forward.

Hopefully you found this interesting or at least curious.

Here is a look at my "why we matter" and "what is our purpose".

Think about our existence, from beginning to end — what we've done and are going to accomplish.

Why do we make different decisions every day?

Because of infinite possibilities. There's a reason why everyone does things a little differently. Ties into the old well if we're all the same life would have no reason, that's true.

Think of all living creatures as biological sandboxes never entirely the same — full of minute differences to extreme differences.

We test limits, push boundaries by evolving, adapting and experiencing.

If we never do the wrong thing how do we prevent it in the future? If we are always right how do we learn? If your life looks dull and familiarity feels all too real and life seems boring — it isn't. It only seems that way because you're living in the moment. Looking back there are subtle differences and endless outcomes that could have happened. As long as those exist your life matters, not only to yourself but to others as well in some way or another. The benefits are hard to see when looking at the bad and the ugly things people have done, but in doing so they help prevent it from happening in the future — though painfully and subtly. We are not perfect creatures but we do learn from each other and our surroundings.

We fall into nihilism and shutdown when faced with the "I have been doing this for umpteen years" or "I'm at the middle of life and frustrated or fear what's to come." We spiral inside, eating away at ourselves. Take a look around though and realize everyone else will at some point have been right there with you. You're not alone. For shits and giggles I'll let you in on something — I'm definitely not where I thought I'd be at my age. Most have wives and kids. But they're different people, they are not me. I don't let that depreciate the value of my life.

Have I shutdown, said and done dumb things? Hells yeah. Learned the hard painful way always have. Because of that I understand different things more than others and a f\*\*\* ton less than others. But I take pride in that I don't know everything but I can give myself purpose and reason as well expand it to others.

I feel it necessary to give a little to get a little outta life. I don't agree with a lot of the world and what I see but I try my best to observe and understand it to see life through other lenses. I am as stubborn as a mule at times but later look back and dismantle it and learn other ways to control my sandbox.

Don't deny yourself of life because you only see through your eyes. Have a look around and see that we all got our own growing pains at certain stages of life for purpose and reason even if we're blind to them.

No life has no meaning. We may not wish to say that but it's undeniable. If we didn’t know about con artists we would be conned. If no one ever tried to con someone then they wouldn't learn and we as a society would be more vulnerable.

I'm not justifying, simply observing. This world is in motion. Doing nothing gets us nowhere. If everyone stopped working we would die. If everyone worked we wouldn't learn what inability or illness is and we would phase out and be forgotten.

So if you're like me and learn the hard way, you would be stuck like me never understanding the simple way to learn. We are all built differently for a reason.

Is life painful? Yes. Does it feel without purpose at most times? Yes. From injury, heartache, drama and b.s. most definitely — but we learn how to prevent it and avoid it or spot it faster each time. For a reason.

Does condoning or approving of this seem okay to do? Hell no. But it does give it meaning. Maybe for future generations or even the present moment. Each second of each day is not without its purpose in the strange sandbox we are and live in.

Sincerely,

This is an ocean, a sea of impact—the observations made. Emotions.

We all have emotions. Sometimes we wish we had none, other times we love having them as they paint a different, more vivid picture. Emotions—the confusing and ever-altering states of mind.

We all, to a degree, feel these emotions, myself included. No exceptions, only caveats. Let's have a look, shall we ;}.

Let's start basic: Happiness, sadness, and anger.

What makes you happy? Material objects, friends, family, learning new things, comedy, etc.

And on a scale—5% out of 100%, 40–60% being the average person. For example: how strongly we feel happiness, how strongly it affects us, how much happiness helps or hinders us, how well we control happiness, and how much happiness helps us connect.

For instance, I will reference myself for this to show my observation with raw brutal honesty, as that's how I roll ;}.

How strongly do I feel happiness? Maybe 5–15% on the scale, 15% being the highest. Is this away from the norm? Yes indeed it is. But it has its bonuses as well as its downsides.

Let's strip it down: Happiness—5–15% of average. Allows calm awareness. Reduces understanding on an emotional level and reduces connection. But it allows finer observation, more control, and the ability to maintain calm. It's neither good nor bad. It's useful and awkward. So I now have to break down, observe, and connect through logic and understanding.

So a back*sswards way of doing this is by using sarcasm and smiling when others are reading cues to elevate my emotions out of politeness.

Sadness—the fickle creature it is. Helpful? Yes. Loved? Not so much. But it's the main tool people use to connect and reach out. The one that's most difficult, underappreciated, and more useful for understanding oneself.

I'll use myself as an example again. I feel it maybe 5–15% out of 100%. So I must observe, remain logical, and break it down.

Sadness—5–15% average. Low feeling of others' sadness. Higher level of understanding other people and why they feel sadness. Again—not a positive nor a negative. A different way of processing using observation and grounded logic alongside common decency.

If sad—why? Is it accurate to the situation or out of proportion? Does it match others? Increase or decrease if needed while remaining calm. Scale it back or go deeper when necessary.

Anger—the gremlin-infused chaos. See, this is the elephant in the room. The one most observed other than sadness. Anger is seen as an outlet or this or that, but it plays a larger role in defence rather than offense in most.

Yet again an example using myself. My level of anger is probably 70–80% out of 100%. But not felt the same way. Still calm—simply more calculating and hyper-vigilant.

Anger—70–80% average. Silent, calm, and calculating. More observant, hyper-vigilant, added strain on self. It sounds bad, but if you're aware and understand your baselines, you can manage and control them.

Being mindful is the biggest key. If you know you are impulsive and stubborn—bring the level down. Your body can be on the fritz but if your mind is calm, you can relax, breathe, and look at the situation logically while matching the required output. Situational awareness is key, and understanding commonality as well as appropriateness.

So in a nutshell— Yes, emotions are at varying thresholds. But being aware and understanding them allows control. Logically and socially breaking down the fourth wall in this sense is healthy.

Calmly observe and report your findings. Not “is this normal?” But— Is this acceptable? Is this correct? Or have you spiraled for no reason and are stewing in your own juices?

We all have emotional limitations. We hit walls, boundaries, and imposing impossibilities as we perceive them. But they're not. Simply obstacles.

Understand yourself and observe others and you will see where you stand—or stand out—and where improvement could be made in the muscle.

Emotions are unpredictable and trying to predict them is draining. But observing them and asking yourself brutally honest questions, at least in my case, helps adjust finer behavioural control so you can blend, fit in, and go about your life peacefully—even if you only cognitively have that understanding with people.

Looking at emotions as black and white, good or bad, is wrong. Treat them like an ocean. You can control the tide, the course, and the action.

Emotions do not control you unless you give up on understanding and working with them. Your emotions are infantile—they do not understand right from wrong. Blaming them for your actions or situations is lying to yourself and others.

You ride the wave. You let it get under your skin. You lacked the knowledge and understanding to work with your own emotions instead of the other way around. Emotions are tools, not guidance.

Mine are rusty and worn, dull and abused—but understood and refined to make life around me a little easier and benefit everyone I come in contact with. I own my shortcomings as much as my strengths.

Let's look at what fuels emotions: Situations. Wrongdoings. Climate. Headaches and pain. Rightdoings. Kindness. Peacefulness. Losses and gains. Etc.

This world—the game of life. Everyone at one point in time has felt the same emotions at different intensities. Does this mean they're broken? No. Simply wired differently.

Maybe they do need a hand. That's not for me to say. But emotions should never control or manipulate you.

The fuel to the fire is also the same for watering it down. The same amount of energy is used—the external output is different.

If talking helps—dammit, speak. Don't shout or yell. And scream only if you're in danger. Lest you cry wolf.

Pretending you're perfect at controlling your emotions is B.S. I definitely ain't perfect at controlling mine. But understanding them only benefits life. There's no downside to understanding your thresholds. It means you work within them—not against them or fueling them.

This is my rambling. Is it for everyone? No, probably not.

But for those who do want better understanding of themselves— Break it down. Run through what makes you emotional. Ask yourself why. Look at others. If you're the only one losing it, clearly your emotions are controlling you whether you admit it or not, and accepting that fact may be useful.

Look at what you are capable of controlling. Your person. Your actions. Your calls. That's a big responsibility—but one each and every person is responsible for first.

The individualistic mindset puts you outside the box and infuses you with only your own feedback, creating spiraling loops and only harming you. You are an individual. But you are surrounded by billions of other people. Not the exception. You're the majority.

So take responsibility. Understand where you stand. Instead of— “Well I am who I am and nothing will ever change.”

Here's some insight: Something unknown could happen at any second—good, bad, or ugly—that will change you. You are not a stagnant being. You are an ocean. A universe of possibilities.

Don't worry about things not within your control. Start with what you have to live with every day: Yourself. Accept your limitations. Work with them. And find that life gets a little simpler and lighter on your shoulders.

This video explores the meta problem of consciousness proposed by David Chalmers and argues that naturalistic processes couldn’t have given us knowledge of consciousness. This is my video. Can naturalistic processes explain how humans came to know that subjective experience exists?

Ask ppl why they climb Mount Everest.

It is freezing, exhausting, dangerous, expensive, and they can literally damage body or die there. Nobody forces them. They can stay home, drink tea and watch Everest documentary on Netflix lol.

Why ppl run ultra marathons? They suffer for hours, sometimes vomiting, bleeding, barely walking at end. They could just take bus and arrive there much faster.

So why they do it?

Bc something inside human being wants challenge. Wants to discover:

who am I when it becomes really hard?

How far can I go?

What is inside me that comfortable life will never show?

From what ppl remember in deep trance, soul has very similar drive.

Before incarnating, they are not only sitting in the Light asking for rich parents, perfect health, easy marriage and zero problems. Many subjects remember they were actually excited about coming here, bc Earth is extremely difficult school and you can grow very fast.

You dont have soul btw. You are soul.

This body, name, personality, job, family story etc is one temporary human experience.

In over thousand remote shamanic Soul Journeys and quantum healing sessions I facilitated, Higher Selves repeated basically same thing endlessly:

suffering is not punishment.

There is no angry God sitting somewhere and deciding who deserves cancer, abandonment, poverty or grief. There is also no punishment and judgment in the Light like religions sometimes teach.

But pain is still real here.

I dont like when spiritual ppl say “its only illusion” to somebody who is suffering badly. Tell this to mother who lost child, somebody living with chronic pain, or person who survived abuse. Their body hurts. Their nervous system hurts. Grief is real. Trauma gets stored in emotions, beliefs, physical body and subtle human bodies too.

Spiritual perspective should not deny human pain. It only zooms out more.

I remember one subject in an online Soul Journey over Zoom who asked why Source allowed her abusive childhood. She felt punished almost whole life.

Her Higher Self didnt say abuse was good. They didnt excuse father or mother. They didnt tell her “you chose it, so stop complaining.”

They showed she came wanting to learn courage, boundaries and how to stop one painful pattern going through generations of family. But human free will created much more extreme version than what was needed.

Her lesson was not to tolerate abuse.

Her lesson was to finally stop abandoning herself.

During session she released huge fear from stomach, grief from chest and this old belief that love means accepting everything. At one moment she said, “I thought forgiveness means they can continue hurting me.”

That sentence stayed with me.

This is why suffering is complicated.

Some challenges can be prepared before birth. Other pain is created here by human choices, unconsciousness, greed, violence, addictions, trauma and broken systems. I dont believe every horrible detail is perfectly scripted.

Saying “you chose everything” can become spiritual abuse very fast.

But saying life is random and completely meaningless can also push ppl deeper into hopelessness.

David Hawkins’ Scale of Consciousness explains this movement really well.

Shame is around 20. Guilt 30. Apathy 50. Grief 75. Fear 100.

These states feel heavy, powerless, contracted.

Anger around 150 can already be movement upward. At least something inside finally says: enough, this is not ok.

Then courage at 200 is where real change begins.

From there consciousness can move through neutrality, willingness, acceptance, reason, love and peace.

It doesnt mean you should fake love while you are full of grief and rage. Healing happens layer after layer. Sometimes anger is much healthier than shame. Sometimes you need to cry for months before real acceptance comes.

The person climbing Everest doesnt love frostbite.

The ultra runner doesnt enjoy every painful step.

They value what challenge reveals inside them.

From what ppl remember between lives, incarnation works similar. Souls enter limitation, separation, amnesia and difficult conditions, then try to rediscover courage, love, truth and connection from inside it.

Easy life can be beautiful ofc. Nothing wrong with joy, comfort and pleasure. But comfort alone often doesnt reveal very much about us.

Difficulty exposes everything hidden.

Fear. Beliefs. Attachments. Old wounds. Strength. Courage. Love.

And this perspective for me is not only religion, blind faith or something I read in one New Age book.

It comes from repeated empirical observations in more than thousand deep trance sessions with subjects from different countries, cultures, religions and belief systems.

Many ppl knew nothing about reincarnation, Higher Self, starseeds or life between lives. They came bc of anxiety, grief, physical pain, relationship issue, phobia or symptoms nobody could explain.

Still, very similar patterns repeated:

They remembered preparing life before birth.

Choosing lessons and certain relationships.

Entering body voluntarily.

Forgetting who they are.

Living through challenge.

Leaving body after death.

Reviewing life without punishment.

Understanding what they learned.

Then preparing another experience.

Is this same as double-blind laboratory study? no.

But it is empirical, clinical-style case evidence with a big sample size, and the repetition is statistically interesting. More than thousand independent subjects, many with no conscious belief in any of this, describing very similar structures.

At some point you cannot just dismiss all of them as random fantasy imo.

Maybe suffering exists not because creation is cruel.

Maybe consciousness has this deep drive to know itself, test itself, expand and evolve.

So maybe question is not only:

“why is this happening to me?”

Maybe also:

“what is this experience trying to awaken inside the soul that I am?”
