MOD episodes inclusively overlap as they have no shelf-life or expiration date. Since our focus is principled and always happening now - each will always reflect the fluid nature of current events.
It is not what is said or what is happening, but what we think of it that has the greatest impact on our experience. If it is not what we hear or what is happening that we experience then we don’t hear or see what is actually happening but what we think. When we think what we think is true we think all that exists is only what we think. The immediate result is to imagine we are only what we think and immediately start to imagine we don’t fit or belong where we are so set off on a quest, of questions, born in doubt, to wrestle with what conveniently appears to be a mystery.
To operate on the basis of a lie is to search endlessly to find fulfillment which is evidence we are aware of the emptiness of our creation. Thinking about thinking, thinks up more thoughts and does not create a self, or any absolute nature based on being, essence, awareness, or knowledge. Thoughts are not who or what we are but to imagination are we capable of believing they are.
Obsessive thoughts attempt to prove they are right. If they were there would be no proof or fight since they would function every time they are applied. Truth does not require agreement, belief, faith or hope to be true. Truth and Reality are simple since they do not change, as IT IS always as IT IS.
Our discussion is an awakened mediation to apply what we know even as we may not think so. Starting with any lack of faith, any greatness of doubt or sense of hopelessness, if it is accurate, is aligned to what is happening, in thought. When wrong is wrong it is right since there is no fight to avoid its weight or worth even if it has no substance or value. Openly discussing what is happening as it is happening is an exercise we can always use to better express our natural stability and abilities. Nature is easy. Fighting it is hard since there is nothing to gain but pain and using pain as proof of life is a very twisted idea that has not worked yet and history is our written record of righteous indignation, that has never yet been right enough yet to keep us from killing each other in the name of what is right - when it is only a thought we are defending. Thoughts are thoughts. They are easier to have when thought of as they are rather than the internal conflict of thinking of them as they are not. Reality and Truth do not rely on, nor are they ever limited in any way, by what we think of them. Nothing imagined can attack us. Nightmares like daydreams only appear real until we wake up.
Foolish thoughts rush in where Angels fear to tread. Angels know better than to create fear by imagining they are the creators of reality. To think of insanity as our only possibility is to feel possessed and condemned by a force acting against us, while we create the impression to excuse our involvement. How thin the veil that can seem so thick, dense, and impenetrable when it is our insistence to not think other-wise causing the impression.
