Social Do you like life, specifically do you like your life?

This is a good post. It reminds me that much of what I don’t like about my life is self-imposed. I could work less, be happy with a simpler life, not be around people who make me unhappy. Some people can’t turn their circumstances around. So yes, I do like my life. What I do to my life at times, I do not like.

Well I hate to play the victim, or sympathy fish bc I tell my Kids that shit all the time.

Where do I start? I think the main traumatic experience I'm suffering from is being adopted into an abusive family, that should have NEVER had a kid. My adoptive parents were cheap, violent and manipulative and I spent my best years aggressively seeking validation from them only for "Ma" to die from a double stroke late 50's(didn't even recognize me) and "Pop" from Pancreatic cancer 5 years later. He never once said "I love you." and I idolized that son of a bitch. I wanted to scream at him "WHY?!" as I watched him die on his deathbed. But I just told him "Its OK You can go..."

Wanna know what he did? He left his house and his Life insurance to his second wife of 4 years instead of me. But she was actually a decent woman and put it in my name and gave me the money. Although the house was actually still in a mortgage with $80,000 owed on it. Gee thanks dad...

I'd say that's probably the main thing... I won't even go into fighting cancer or losing my son's mom to an overdose a couple years ago. Sometimes life just deals ya some shitty hands.

The fact that she had the opportunity to say fuck you and take the money and run but did the right thing and gave it to you (who obviously rightly should have it) is a rare act of decency that we don’t often see in this world. It made me happy to read that

The human mind is an amazing instrument, it shapes and interprets the world you live in and who you are in the world. If have a negative outlook on life and your place in life you struggle just to stay afloat, life is hard because your fighting with life instead of riding the positive aspects of life. How do you go from negative to positive is a lesson I have to relearn from time to time. The positive thing about life, like humans are in constant change. This gives us an opportunity to change direction from a bad day to a good day. It's about choice and who / what you choose to be.

That's the kick up the ass I need ,I suppose it's the perfect time of year .👍
 
i feel like i don't fully, properly appreciate life in the moment as it happens if that makes sense. but no matter how uncomfortable or in pain i felt at the time, i always feel nostalgic yearning for the past. different periods of my life all have their own distinctive emotional auras and associated stuff (locations, music, etc) that are so pleasantly distinct from each other and totally unable to ever be replicated.
 
I have different answers for different days. (Loved this thread and reading everyone else’s reply!)

Logically, this is a gift to be taken in full embrace without nit picking, our actions and choices with perspective is our agency and once that has been done to the best it’s a blessing.

Emotionally (mine being disturbed-EUPD) life is easily good when it feels good and shit when it doesn’t feel good, but that’s childish 1st stage logic.

A exercise I present to myself often is as simple as “I might aswell, this isn’t so unbearable all of the time, might as well get my lot and experience this weird mush”

But my perspective is transient, and I allow myself to frolic back and forth.

My emotional perceptions dissect and disagree with alot of the world, without basis, allowing me to have a worse time than I am.

Alongside always finding sensations so overwhelming, trying to inhabit that observation vessel and live but being 24/7 in some kind of pain due to autism/adhd.

Relieved by either methylphenidate or being hyper focused until it goes.

I haven’t killed myself yet (even with some of the positive work, I still believe I need the comfort of that choice)

So I might as-well have a pop, I can sweep any silly notions of regret away if I try reasonably well to do my “best”

It will all turn to dust, but might aswell check it out. Might feel good a time or two.

Just a quick one that has nothing to do atol with thread,I'm a total ludite how do I put an emoji like a heart on the bottom bar where it says "like +quote reply" all I can muster is a thumbs up like which most of the time isn't appropriate, thick I know 😔I can insert some in my replies but not that bar?

Did you get this question answered? I had the same problem for the longest time. Just hold down the “like” with your finger a split second longer and the other choices will pop up. But if you hold down too long it will go to a different screen. Took me the longest time to figure that out. LOL

Someone mentioned Christ consciousness? I don't have Christ consciousness and I don't want christ consciousness because I don't believe it. I have my consciousness that I believe in, that I trust and developed on my own.
Christ is a third-party filter people adopt and call it their own. believing in Jesus is a strong substitute for personal accountability but it is not taking ownership of your life, your decisions or your desired direction. Let me correct previous statement, you are still in control except you channel your mind through christ as if to seek his approval for your actions.
christ has nothing to do with what you think and do except you believe christ is a filter in your life.
You can live perfectly well on your own without third-party intervention if you realize everything you do and say comes from you. That is the power of choice, you are in control and nobody can take that away from you unless you voluntarily give yourself up to a mindset that you still control but believe it is something greater yourself.
There is nothing greater than yourself so stop giving your power away.

I live in Michigan and we have a lot of cool national and state parks and forests. If you ever get the chance I think you should visit them. Sleeping Bear Dunes was a park I went to when my parents took me when I was really little. It was nice.

Isle Royale is a island park of Lake Superior. They've released wolves there to try and reintroduce the species to population. Awhile back in the county next to me a coyote was attacking someone's family and had to be shot. Turns out it was actually a wolf, not a coyote.

Based on your comment, taking walks and adventures in some of them might be right up your alley.

Hey I am looking through the thread to see Christ Consciousness is mentioned. I myself get annoyed at some terms and I think it is because a lot of phrases have become cliche and repeated by people that have no idea what a concept like that is. (no one here at BL, I am thinking of relatives that think they know it all) But "spiritual lingo" is present even in people that have no idea or care to have an idea.

I have narrowed down what Christ Consciousness should mean, at least to me. I consider myself a Christian because I feel like I understand the simple analogies that Jesus gave. He used Nature a lot. Nature is a giant metaphor, it is a mirror. So to me Christ Consciousness is simply doing things like following the Golden Rule. Being kind to people. Trying not to judge. To me that is the true Christ Consciousness. Not just a term, but following those simple truths. Call it what you will. A blueprint on how to live and get out of suffering. A way to walk through the world without leaving muddy tracks that we have to go back and clean up. A way to graduate Earth, the place of suffering and the school room that we all pretty much dislike. But school rooms are to graduate from. The first 4 books of the new testament has the blueprint on how to live if we truly believe these concepts.

While I am a Christian I also see how Hinduism and Buddhism are the same truths. Krishna, 3000 years before Christ said a lot of the same things. I could start a thread of side by side comparisons. (yeah right, like i have the time lol) .

There is Truth. Nature shows us that. We can use the tree analogy again. If 3 people saw a tree fall but one didn't the truth of the matter is it still fell regardless of opinion. Truth stands the test of time. People can up and down all they want with an opinion, but Truth stands. That is an incredible thing.

@M!$TER-ED , thanks for kicking up the psychedelic forum as well as P&S. You injected some great ideas in both forums. Much needed. I do have some catching up to do.

Thanks everyone too, P&S is being visited with some great ideas.
 
Anyone can have Christ Consciousness or at least believe one's self is capable of love like Christ. That's what we are talking about...love. Everyone has the capacity to love if you feel you are lacking in love based on human flaws you will always be inadequate in your eyes. Because you don't love yourself enough to see perfection in your life and the life you live. Life is perfect, you are perfect if you think differently you're not seeing the whole picture. Just because life stinks does not make it imperfect. it makes life real. Everything about life is perfect even the bad parts that make us sad, angry, disappointment, perfection is what is, that which cannot be compared is perfect for lack of any other information.
Understanding the world according to data not emotions or feelings but pure black and white data will liberate your mind from all the stuff we somehow view as important. Love is about living and not thinking twice about it. You are already perfect so stop doubting yourself. You don't have to be anything, you don't have to be anyone but before you can be you have to love everything about you. When you do this you will control life as you know it.

Before you can fully love yourself, you have to make amends to people you have harmed. If that is not possible you must forgive yourself for every wrong doing. When you do this, you are set free from guilt, you are truly free. There is nothing that can stop you now. You are everything you want to be.

It's fuckin hard work and doesn't really seem to be worth the effort.

Although I can't wait for it all to be over, I'm too fuckin stubborn to top myself...

If you could take a piss in any bathroom on Planet Earth, which one would it be? I'd love to see what they've got over at the white house.
 
I love life,I like my life, after watching my mother fade away from brain cancer at 58 ,it truly changed me.She had finally got her beach house,her home in the hills,a little mobile home on the lake,an RV, kayak and wind boards.I asked her if she was sad she never got to enjoy it ,she said " well Robin all my dreams did come true" She laughed in the face of death and it changed me.I will always feel remorse for getting into drugs for a year,but it reaffirmed what is precious in my life Thank you for your attention in this matter.
