What is it that brings you Joy? What makes you feel good? Is it exercise? Perhaps meditation or prayer, maybe it’s a hobby or learning something new. Maybe it’s music or all of the above. Remember this, No one can take that from you, it’s yours. Use it for you.
There are people you haven’t met yet that will be able to love you without you having to work for it. They will see you & appreciate you because of who you are. They will be gentle in really caring ways because they will recognize what vulnerability has cost you in the past.
This is what I call agapé love, love that is unconditional. The only requirement to receive agapé love is to exist. No works are required.
I kind of feel like I’m striving to regain my whole self. I’m 96 percent positive. Dropping old bad energies, aligning chakras. And laughing at everything.
Your Voice Is Your Power
Have you ever experienced pain to the extent that you felt silenced where
you weren’t able to open your mouth? Your voice ― is what allows you to
express yourself in every way. It is your power and the guidance for others.
It is the echo that we all need!
We all learn this lesson at our own pace. Did you notice that your voice wrote a poem. That’s how powerful speaking the truth is! 𝔰𝔬𝔲𝔩 𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔯 𝔢𝔤𝔬. | proυd ѕepнardι.
It speaks volumes and no matter how long it took, you now have your voice which you always had. It was just silenced with other distracting noises that are now disconnected.
I am thankful every day that they are disconnected. I like being heard now as opposed to used, lied to and ignored.Has anyone ever thought they could instantly change the weather by praying?
Trying and Doing are two different things. When you try, you hope.
When you do, you succeed.
When I started having grand delusions, I thought everything:
What I would write down on paper would come true. So I would write down everything I thought I wanted. I think what really messed with my head is that some things happened that I wished for and prayed for. Nothing delusional about that! Positive intentional thought! Everyone of the delusions I once had or suffered from I’ve made come true!
The good ones anyhow Think positively!
My thoughts exactly. Nothing delusional about being intentional and manifesting.
That’s not a bipolar thing, just an “I want a great life” thing.

I am the master of my emotions – I transform fear to love, anger to compassion, pain to comfort, scarcity to abundance, expectation to gratitude, and jealousy to generosity.

I am powerful. I am strong. I am loving. I am desirable. I am authentically me. I am a divine being. I am willing to learn. I am in the present. I am worthy of my dream job. I am worthy of my goals. I am helping rebuild the world from 3D into 5D. I am worthy of a great 5D life.
I am ME Through spoken words, manifestation,
visualization, and through our very own thoughts,
our world is about to change for the greater.
Humanity is notorious for it’s utter detestation of the truth, most particularly about ourselves.
It’s most easily seen when we are doing something ill-advised.
There is almost always that little bit of excuse making that occurs as we lamely rationalize our transgression. The person was never born who didn’t willfully avert their eyes on a regular basis. I’m sorry, what now? How can I willfully avert my eyes if I’m honest with myself about my own shortcomings?
I am a lot of things…but I am never dishonest with MYSELF.
It is alarmingly easy to deceive others, but is it just as easy to convince the person in the mirror …. If so, who are you looking at?
To see a world of fear, lies, false beliefs & judgement is to blind the eyes from which the heart sees.. ~ Lakota

Taking a moment to wonder how the people of the world would act if we could all think/hear/see from the heart #BeautifulPeople
Accurate, this sums up what is going on today. I’m hoping for a way out and remember that indifference can do profound harm to the heart as well.
When the evil around us is too great and widespread , we close the eyes of the heart to dream a different world; but let’s never give up the hope of a change that can start with each of us. We must believe it!
“Work as hard as you can. Even though who you work with and what you work on are more important than how hard you work.” – Isn’t this statement contradictory? if you are working as hard as you can on something not worthwhile and with dumb/exploitative/ incompetent people, how would you be able to take a step back and realize this needs to change. I have always found it challenging to identify who you are the absolute right people to work with.
I guess in retrospect one can judge if the person is the right-fit.
But on what parameters can someone judge on the very first or second meeting?
Life ends when you stop dreaming, hope ends when you stop believing, and love ends when you stop caring. So dream hope and love…
Funny thing is if you work hard, the right people and the right thing to work on will show up along your way. At the end ! You learned most part from the surrounding….

The reason trauma survivors respect & support one another so well is due to the shared experiences of what makes them survivors & the journey of what it takes to find the way towards healing. Most of us need help finding our way & when we do, we readily offer that to others. This is a gentle reminder to whomever reads this.. you’re a badass and beautifully human for getting up, for showing up & facing whatever demons that are trying to destroy you. I’m proud of you & you should be proud of yourself too.

Could you elaborate a bit more on why these specific ones aren’t considered to be mental illnesses? I’m quite curious because I’ve never heard it framed that way before. Quantum Mechanics BY Greg Braden is, at least at first glance and at least in part, a mathematical machine for predicting the behaviors of microscopic particles or, at least, of the measuring instruments we use to explore those behaviors and in that capacity, it is spectacularly successful: in terms of power and precision, head and shoulders above any theory we have ever had.
Mathematically, the theory is well understood; we know what its parts are,
how they are put together, and why, in the mechanical sense (i.e., in a sense that can be answered by describing the internal grinding of gear against gear), the whole thing performs the way it does, how the information that gets fed in at one end is converted into what comes out the other. The question of what kind of a world it describes, however, is controversial; there is very little agreement, among physicists and among philosophers, about what the world is like according to quantum mechanics.
Minimally interpreted, the theory describes a set of facts about the way the microscopic world impinges on the macroscopic one, how it affects our measuring instruments, described in everyday language or the language of classical mechanics. Disagreement centers on the question of what a microscopic world, which affects our apparatuses in the prescribed manner, is, or even could be, like intrinsically; or how those apparatuses could themselves be built out of microscopic parts of the sort the theory describes.[1]
That is what an interpretation of the theory would provide: a proper account of what the world is like according to quantum mechanics, intrinsically and from the bottom up. The problems with giving an interpretation (not just a comforting, homey sort of interpretation, i.e., not just an interpretation according to which the world isn’t too different from the familiar world of common sense, but any interpretation at all) are dealt with in other sections of this encyclopedia. Here, we are concerned only with the mathematical heart of the theory, the theory in its capacity as a mathematical machine, and — whatever is true of the rest of it — this part of the theory makes exquisitely good sense.

1. Terminology
Physical systems are divided into types according to their unchanging (or ‘state-independent’) properties, and the state of a system at a time consists of a complete specification of those of its properties that change with time (its ‘state-dependent’ properties). To give a complete description of a system, then, we need to say what type of system it is and what its state is at each moment in its history.
A physical quantity is a mutually exclusive and jointly exhaustive family of physical properties (for those who know this way of talking, it is a family of properties with the structure of the cells in a partition).
Knowing what kinds of values a quantity takes can tell us a great deal about the relations among the properties of which it is composed. The values of a bivalent quantity, for instance, form a set with two members; the values of a real-valued quantity form a set with the structure of the real numbers. This is a special case of something we will see again and again, viz., that knowing what kind of mathematical objects represent the elements in some set (here, the values of a physical quantity; later, the states that a system can assume, or the quantities pertaining to it) tells us a very great deal (indeed, arguably, all there is to know) about the relations among them.
In quantum mechanical contexts, the term ‘observable’ is used interchangeably with ‘physical quantity’, and should be treated as a technical term with the same meaning. It is no accident that the early developers of the theory chose the term, but the choice was made for reasons that are not, nowadays, generally accepted. The state-space of a system is the space formed by the set of its possible states,[2] i.e., the physically possible ways of combining the values of quantities that characterize it internally. In classical theories, a set of quantities which forms a supervenience basis for the rest is typically designated as ‘basic’ or ‘fundamental’, and, since any mathematically possible way of combining their values is a physical possibility, the state-space can be obtained by simply taking these as coordinates.[3]
So, for instance, the state-space of a classical mechanical system composed of nn particles, obtained by specifying the values of 6n6n real-valued quantities — three components of position, and three of momentum for each particle in the system — is a 6n6n-dimensional coordinate space. Each possible state of such a system corresponds to a point in the space, and each point in the space corresponds to a possible state of such a system. The situation is a little different in quantum mechanics, where there are mathematically describable ways of combining the values of the quantities that don’t represent physically possible states. As we will see, the state-spaces of quantum mechanics are special kinds of vector spaces, known as Hilbert spaces, and they have more internal structure than their classical counterparts.
A structure is a set of elements on which certain operations and relations are defined, a mathematical structure is just a structure in which the elements are mathematical objects (numbers, sets, vectors) and the operations mathematical ones, and a model is a mathematical structure used to represent some physically significant structure in the world.
The heart and soul of quantum mechanics is contained in the Hilbert spaces that represent the state-spaces of quantum mechanical systems. The internal relations among states and quantities, and everything this entails about the ways quantum mechanical systems behave, are all woven into the structure of these spaces, embodied in the relations among the mathematical objects which represent them.[4]
This means that understanding what a system is like according to quantum mechanics is inseparable from familiarity with the internal structure of those spaces. Know your way around Hilbert space, and become familiar with the dynamical laws that describe the paths that vectors travel through it, and you know everything there is to know, in the terms provided by the theory, about the systems that it describes. By ‘knowing your way around’ Hilbert space, I mean something more than possessing a description or a map of it; anybody who has a quantum mechanics textbook on their shelf has that. I mean know your way around it in the way you know your way around the city in which you live.
This is a practical kind of knowledge that comes in degrees and it is best acquired by learning to solve problems of the form: How do I get from A to B? Can I get there without passing through C? And what is the shortest route? Graduate students in physics spend long years gaining familiarity with the nooks and crannies of Hilbert space, locating familiar landmarks, treading its beaten paths, learning where secret passages and dead ends lie, and developing a sense of the overall lay of the land. They learn how to navigate Hilbert space in the way a cab driver learns to navigate his city.
How much of this kind of knowledge is needed to approach the philosophical problems associated with the theory? In the beginning, not very much: just the most general facts about the geometry of the landscape (which is, in any case, unlike that of most cities, beautifully organized), and the paths that (the vectors representing the states of)
systems travel through them.
