any other parts of life you'll have to figure out. you can use the spiritual to guide you

i suggest going through lonerwolf's website for navigating a spiritual awakening

some of you might like a more embodied, holistic approach - like a how to live guide

i can't give you that since i'm just a blog! so read books! and read loner wolfs site, it's very helpful

“Belief = acceptance that something is true.

'Your question hinges on what you mean by "believing something." I take a non-standard view of belief: I think we only "truly" believe something when we act. So to "stop believing something" stop taking the actions associated with the belief, and assess the results. And trust me, depending on which thing you choose to stop believing (acting on) you will face the results.' rare quora w?"

"Leave the past alone. Leave the character alone. You can't expect trauma responses or cultural conditioning to solve EVERYTHING? It only knows life in one way, through a [age] [ethnicity] [sex] from [birth year] to 2020’s. Honestly? Theres so much conditioning combo’s you could make - this is 1/infinity."

"we're forcing roles onto ourselves & we were brought up w roles being forced onto us. that's why it's important to transcend,, or maybe not transcend but walk past them. put them down & walk away. move on. you are still whole without it. it's like feeling naked without a jacket, you are not actually naked lol you just feel it! you are totally fine!"

"Simple mindfulness is what ada is asking of us. Not convincing, denial or forcing. Its observing."

"(writing a dream earlier) then i woke up. there truly is no difference between the dream n waking state. most people are not even that grounded or feeling their body that much throughout the day unless its pained, so ofc dreams or visualisations are enough. if you're into it enough and think it's real, there's no reason why it's not. when I was in the dream i had no thought of this character."

the way i first started getting anons was unnerving bcs i thought i couldn't write well. i thought of ada, (this was after she left) and went 'nope! i'm okay! i can write just as good as ada! maybe i'll get as much anons as her!'

and so i got more anons lol

then i thought 'okay no more anons, too much' and then theres no anons

i've done this like 3 times if i remember right

i did it yesterday, 'cause i was bored as you already know. i decided to post encouraging anons, but i wasn't happy w/ the amount. and today i get more anons

and just before i wrote this i thought 'oh maybe i should get less anons now...' 😭

going from too much to write to basically nothing 💀

i know i've said 'hmm maybe i should make a post about emotional regulation' but no. 4dkelly said it nicely here.

i am just a tumblr blog. i'm also learning. i am NOT YOUR MUM. i am not your doctor. i am not google.

a lot of questions, as i said in the comments of that post, are just 'is it okay if ..' or 'how do i [thing that can be solved with a bit of self compassion or paitence]' or just straight up questions that can be answered by self-care blogs.

if you're here and asking bloggers questions, it means you've done the reading right? it means you're ready right? i dont think you are. some asks straight up sound like they didn't read nothing. some asks are just asking for permission? i am a blog that you are generating in real time.. you are asking for permission from yourself through me...

some asks are just asking about things that you can just put down. you can take a step back from stuff. you can choose something different, y'know? i think some of you expect a magical answer, when really its just .. think practically for 2 seconds .. and you'll have an idea of what to do

i will do my best to make this practise complete and whole as i can, but you must do the rest!

heres some keywords to search:

how to live from the heart

how to live with/in love

i saw the 'how long have you been in spirituality' votes. for 0-6 months (~10%) read this.

as 4dkelly and adadisciple have said:

I understand ego is fearful and scared, but *I* cannot convince you of anything, nor do I want to "convert" you. You can do whatever you want at all times.

most are from ada's google drive ...
