MOD episodes have no shelf-life or expiration date.  Since our focus is principled and always happening now - each will always reflect the moving fluid nature of current events.


DECISION to act on principles: surrender of fight reveals peace. Faith in what is faith-full reveals what is full of greatness is our great-fullness.  


When thoughts are seen as thoughts we have them as they are and see them as something we do. To think of them as true is to think we become only what we think. The resulting devastation from this line of mistaken identity are historic and tragic.  


Decisions are based on desires that come with expectations. When we desire something faithful and trustworthy acting on it is full-filling.  Just as having trust in what is not trustworthy feels empty. The application of desire determines whether it is functional or dysfunctional - whether we feel fulfilled or empty - whether it aligns with reality or is a misaligned fantasy.   


Decisions are useless if they aren't applied.  Willingness without action is fantasy.  


Eligibility, Identity.  

Aligning thoughts with what is wrong allows doing something about what is wrong.  

Freedom from compulsive symptoms starts with admitting we have a problem. 

Reactive, impulsive, and compulsive behaviors are triggered by the defensive nature of obsessive thoughts busy trying to turn what is not true into truth.   


Emotional sobriety is not conflicted.  Insanity is delusion when thinking what we imagine is true.  Truth need not be thought of to be.  If sanity reflects or aligns with reality, truth, or any absolute nature - then sanity is our nature.  Any struggle with imagination devolves from imagining what we imagine is true and thus real. As makers of reality we think we are the creators of reality even as we call it our own - as though reality can be distinct, divisible, and apart from all others.  Opinions like thoughts and ego are only conflicted once we think they are true. Pain and Healing only occur in the present.  What is broken can only be fixed in the present and what is fixed can only appear broken by what is done in the present.
