MOD episodes have no shelf-life or expiration date. Our focus is principled - so always happening now - so each episode reflects the fluidity and immediacy of the current events we all share.
Sobriety is sanity from any compulsion.
Emotional sobriety is sane living.
It is not sane to think that thinking of it-self can become who we are and our reality - while it is nothing more than imagined. Imagine that.
Sanity is right here, right now, never wrong here or wrong now. Wrong is possible to think of while it has no applicable purpose or basis in reality. Once wrong is thought to be right inner conflict, emotional turmoil, and mental anguish are honest reflections - of a fight waged for a life they cannot exist. Body language provides raw data so has no opinions. Any hell bent line of thought is useless while the resulting stress undermines all our bodily systems health. Defective thinking misappropriates any “fund-a-mental” translation of sense. Disturbances are felt immediately and collectively. Getting lost in identifying them individually obscures simplicity. Their imagined collective impact will dissolve as their seemingly fractured “state of mind” is seen as fractional thoughts with zero as their denominator. Images or illusions acting as reality are delusions, entertained simultaneously. Trying to feel better about what is wrong by looking away is more ignorance. Feelings offer perspective on how well we're thinking about our thinking along with everything else that is happening.
What happens only occurs in the Present. Reactive, impulsive, and compulsive behaviors are all chronic attempts to escape the present. Lies promise is a broken promise. To think we can escape to a place that is not here and now is impossible. Insanity occurs in present thought believing what we can imagine that is not now is reality. Being driven insane suggests sanity is a joyride away somewhere other than now. The resulting stress and anxiety from taking this thought centered in thought as our self undermines our human life form’s ability to function properly, health-“fully”, reason-“ably”, and logic-"ally". So by trying to save our “self” we are killing the body we are responsible for maintaining.
We know more than we think especially when all we think we know is what we think.
To love an image exclusively is to inherently hate reality, while thinking it is our "self". Once we think thoughts are real we fight for what is right because we’re wrong. Human history is littered with this interminable inner fight trying to escape by condemning others for what they think. As long as we are not honest acting outwardly will be dishonest. This misplaced, misguided, mistaken contempt for all the wrong we think we see is fighting to avoid the condemnation we experience for imagining we are only what we think. Thought-centered thought produces more thoughts. The "make-up" of our imagination is made up as are the roles we choose are the defective characters we play so the personas persist as long as we insist on resisting how we are choosing our thoughts as our experience.
Narcissus died staring at his image for so long that he never loved anyone or anything else. In cases like his obsessive food for thought is a starvation diet - that kills us.
We can think again. Like any choice we are free not to choose so always free not to redo obsessive thoughts. Thoughts are always new. Present thoughts are out of order whenever simplicity seems complicated.
