Almost all the suffering you will experience in life will stem from the desire to control things. Other people don't behave the way you want? Suffering. Life not going as planned? Suffering. Stepped in dog poop this morning? Suffering. We take life too seriously and suffer greatly. Of course, it's not your fault. We all do it. And it's part of being human. But see if you can take the next few days and catch yourself trying to control things. Watch how suffering arises. Your body gets tense. You feel resistance. The more you catch yourself, the easier it becomes to give up that control. If you want help with that, you can check this out: Click Here

Is anyone else having interesting experiences with private chats in this community? It’s only happened twice, but there is a clear pattern of questioning and it’s following some sort of program or protocol… “People” first ask about something we said, but they are vague about it. Most recent example being, “I saw your comment about trauma” and then they ask about how it’s going. It all seems friendly, but we are skeptical as it doesn’t feel connected or authentic. The red flag question is: “I see, ok let’s just say you overcame this, like genuinely imagine within the next 3 months let’s say, how would that make you feel?”. First time this happened, we thanked the individual and stopped engaging. This time we are doing the same, but are also bringing the experience to the Spiritual Rebels forum. Last week someone was copy pasting “intros” and when we called them out - all their comments were deleted. What has compelled me to share this experience is a curiosity if anyone else has engaged in these kinds of dialogues? Are they people? Are they bots? Is it AI? We are not necessarily anti-bots, or anti-AI, but we are anti-inauthenticity. If you are bot, or AI please make that known 🙏 We might just be at the point where everyone needs to clarify what species they identify with - which may just open up a whole can of 🪱😅😳😬😵‍💫🫠

Are any of you mystics or is this more of a casual community. I'm a mystic who's starting to bring some more structure and change into my practice, I was just wondering if anyone else here was too. No dogma, just curiosity.

Unfortunatley, we weren't given a human users manual. We are rarely taught how to have a healthy relationship to thoughts... ... so they often drive us crazy because it feels like they are out of our control. At least, that's how it always felt with me. This year i've decided to build a new community to help those who struggle with the monkey mind find peace. If this resonates with you, we’d love to have you here 🙏 https://www.skool.com/monkey-mind-masters/about?ref=c8a8106c6f7148d99c2dc4330777ec2a
