- Contact - The contagion of mentally obsessive thinking is not carried by bacteria or viruses but toxic silence when thoughtful but not always welcome words could help, or by speaking up with words that reinforce the sick thoughtlessness of this induced mental state. The imposition of this addiction is not a state of Mind but of a brain that has been mis-used and abused by imagining it is the creator of reality and truth and our self. It is not and we are not who we think we are.  We Kn...

Our discussion is not partisan, licensed, nor is it an academic or scientific thesis, medical diagnosis, prognosis, philosophy, prescription, discipline, cure or treatment. Based on experience, we neither propose nor oppose any position, person, place, or thing nor do we promote rituals or any religious service - real or imagined.&nbsp;Listening indicates some interest in solving mental conflicts. Automatic reliance on what you hear is not suggested nor is it a substitute for taking direction from responsible parties you rely on, are cared for by or under the influence of, including professionals.&nbsp;Our conversation is about conditions we create, induce and impose, and control even while indisbelief we could possibly have anything to do with such ugly disturbances. We each determine these conditions or come to terms with the role we play by accurately diagnosing them. If your mental state seems wholly out of control that may not actually be correct.&nbsp;There is no greater enemy than the one we imagine to be our self. There is no greater impact anyone else can make on our experience since our brain is where choices are determined immediately alongside our pain and pleasure zones.&nbsp;Induced insanity is a disturbing mental condition. It allows we can make believe we have nothing to do with the problem. As a result it is easy to conclude there is nothing we can do about it. No amount of hopelessness can ever overcome this hopeless thought as long as it is maintained.&nbsp;Mistaking thoughts for reality causes misgivings about Reality and Truth.&nbsp; Life only seems complicated when we mistake how we think of life and truth as our reality. This position presumes there is not other reality. &nbsp;Feeling empty, alone, disconnected?&nbsp; Feeling out of place? Trying to find where you belong, yet never arrive? Seeking, searching, questioning day after day? Trying to feel better, get over the past or get past the present discomfort? Feeling hopeless about hopeless ideas is a good sign that our body language is guiding us accurately - even while we are not listening. &nbsp;Consideration is contemplative, awakened meditation. Absolute Knowing Awareness is simple because it does not change, it is natural and it is our nature - not an option or negotiatiable.&nbsp;Awe and inspiration are the realization that all possibility is present here, now, for all that is and all who are—always in all ways.Knowing’s nature is Absolute: not negotiable, occasional, or optional.There is no doubt where there is no question.Reality and Truth are the Substance of Life. Lying has no substance and so generates unhealthy, conflicted turmoil. Loneliness is an accurate reflection of disconnected, baseless thinking. Creating any cause while denying its effects sustains the vicious cycle of obsessive thoughts, which lie at the center of addictive behaviors.Einstein noted: “You cannot fix a problem with the same thinking that created it.”Symptomatic recovery does not cure obsessive mental illness; it cleans the lens so the problem can be seen. Emotional sobriety is sane living. When wrong is seen as wrong it is right. This does not correct the wrong but allows for correction.&nbsp;Peace on earth does not require we be buried in it - to experience it.&nbsp;
