How to change your emotional state?

[bozadi]

What I’ve been trying to practice on myself:

Check your ability to make yourself better here and now however small in amount. Just by thinking/willing, be more positive even if extremely slightly. If you observe that you can do this, then it’s only a matter of practice and patience for you to “specialize” in it.

Hi , yes and no , (opinion) there's always social and language filters, and ofc, both of these also intereact , if you will , but while these might be considered passive (to an extent ), there is very clearly active interests obvious or otherwise that " use science " as an active tool to keep powerful knowledge that otherwise would be readily available , unknown , even barred at a (simple) language level , this has always been acknowledged by , people that practiced , say ,alchemy , or any true esoteric "science". (imo)Thus the language used by such is , particular in meaning , but using otherwise uses "vox populi" in "form" . (was catching up last night with the wave books online , wave 6 onward , Wilhelm Reich is as good as any example of active suppression of such , as i recall he was expelled from the communist party , despite never having any formal association , had to move to the U.S. , and likely assassinated in jail there ). My 2 cents , greets

So, you mean that there's a concerted effort, in many circles, to hide certain ideas from the population at large? That's what I understood from what you wrote.

I agree, and I've read quite a bit on positivity and it's very popular in the west, however in the west is has been simply described as thinking positive thoughts, which can help, but the devil's n the details I think. \

I think positive thinking has to have a core of truth for it to be truly transformative, which includes a decent amount of self work and honesty with the self, that honesty with the self can be negative as one tears down lies about the self, but being completely honest, truly honest, one is neither all positive or all negative, so getting hung up on only self bashing is as bad as getting hung up on only self aggrandizing.

Positive thinking, IMO, should come from an understanding of one's agency, which includes the understanding of ones weakness and predilections. But exercising certain perspective changes so that one realizes the possibilities.

One of the things with depression is that it can stick one to a single perspective on all of life, making it truly difficult to see a different possible outcome.

my two humble cents.

hey , yes , language and historical perception, are always used as tools to keep us ignorant , or as tools of power in a general sense , as an example , ( as per Mrs. L.K.J's work ) , (IE) how many so called U.S. "christians" can face the fact that "into the daughters of man " has been an ongoing issue for at least , a couple thousands of years ?, framing , in this case , barrs understanding , of particularly important knowledge . (apologies if i wasn't explicit enough in previous post ). greets

Thank you for your feedback, Alejo.

I'm not exactly sure but there appears to be two types of understanding of positivity. The first is kind of "mundane", involving somewhat materialistic influences, closely related to the much-hyped new-agey positivity. This approach takes our "worldly being/life" as central (3D thinking), implying in effect that positivity is something external and good to include in our lives.

The other type of approach to positivity, which I believe I'm trying to concentrate on in view of the Ra-Cassiopaean cosmology, is that positivity is "being", the existence, the innermost.

Inadvertent, and somewhat inevitable, conceptual blending of the two might be complicating the discussions / comprehension of positivity.

It can also be suggested that we have two types of journeys. The smaller one is our worldly life (an incarnation), and the bigger is whose destination is 7D. Apparently, our journey to 7D occurs in the form of increases of positivity/being, essentially. So when one is 7D, one actually becomes "all being". And I think increase of knowledge/awareness amounts to be the same thing as increase of being/positivity.

I think one of the reasons why objective knowledge of our collective life realities and agendas is crucial is because it's where consciousness of numerous individuals interact with each other. Whoever has more objective awareness of the realities of our life with its various aspects can naturally be more influential on others (on mass consciousness) either directly or indirectly. This is why the Cassiopaean Forum is so valuable, beneficial I believe.

Back to the specific issue here, I think meditative states can help us to get close to interacting with true positivity/being by alleviating our 3D thinking more or less. As we are 3D, it's only normal for us to think 3D but since, in addition to being at the threshold of 4D, ours is a very STS-dominated 3D experience, our thinking is contaminated by so many negativities, endless time-dependent wishes and fears of our false personality (ego) that we are forced to maintain and even strengthen to have a foothold in this STS-dominated order of life.

I want to attract attention to potential non-time-dependence of true positivity/being as I see it. In our dominant life conditions, we are mostly dependent on things to come or happen so that we become happy/positive. Our happiness/positivity mostly occurs as a "reaction" to something. But the true (pure) part of that happiness/positivity is not necessarily dependent on an external action towards it. It's us (our false personality) which prefers or accepts to create that dependence (time barrier). Being is positivity. Everything truly positive emanates from being. Our need for positivity is our need for being (our very being, which we tend to keep beneath our ego and often forget about). But, of course, the dominant 3D STS life conditions makes things complicated. That's why, I think, the C's suggest things like stopping 3D thinking. I know that this is not as simple as it sounds. Collective life forces us to speak a heavily STS-contaminated language to communicate and interact with others. And identification with the language is easy under these conditions.

I personally have great difficulty thinking about and interacting with (being) true positivity/being as I see it, but I don't think I'll give up. That interaction/being tends to gradually soften all problems, all karma etc., I believe.

According to questions and criticisms, I'll try to clarify and/or update my views.

I think this is true, personally.

What you wrote above reminded me of Paul, and the flesh vs. spirit idea he presents, perhaps as one strives for a more objective understanding of existence, one drives away from the flesh/3D centered paradigm, and that could be understood or be a path towards positivity? Which then reminds me of this quote

Q: (L) Is it also correct that emotion can be used to mislead, that is emotions that are twisted and generated strictly from the flesh or false programming?

A: Emotion that limits is an impediment to progress. Emotion is also necessary to make progress in 3rd density. It is natural. When you begin to separate limiting emotions based on assumptions from emotions that open one to unlimited possibilities, that means you are preparing for the next density.

Agreed.

I also want to do a possible correction on something I said:

Our happiness/positivity mostly occurs as a "reaction" to something. But the true (pure) part of that happiness/positivity is not necessarily dependent on an external action towards it.

It might have erroneously sounded like we don't ever need positive influences or interactions from/with others.

Wanna add some possible development on my previous suggestion within the context of positive vs negative emotional states and, in particular, "reality creation".

We're living in an order which for thousands of years has been forcing us to adopt and embrace negativity with a carrot-and-stick approach. In this sense, what we call our life is actually a stage of "reality creation" violently imposed by forces committed to STS. Without being keenly aware of this fundamental problem or predicament, craving for "reality creation" about what will eventually amount to be details of our life conditions within the game or competition will more or less mean a success on the part of the prevailing STS forces. I think the "new age" problem is about this; ignoring or trivializing, and therefore failing to directly face and counteract, the fundamental problem, the hunt reality.

I've been trying to discern and interact with positivity. Some of the answers I can occasionally find out are about "stop hurting or damaging myself" and, in the same vein, do exactly the opposite. But then I notice sooner or later that the degree to which I 'belong' or 'surrender' to the 'order of life' (the matrix) makes it virtually impossible to stop hurting or damaging myself if I don't/can't stop what I call my life for experiencing 'true positivity'.

 

[bozadi]

By 'true posivity', I mean 'really' treating myself positive. Allowing nothing to intervene. Patiently and faithfully being more and more positive, like retreating back to my eternal home. Remembering that this is my existential right and, even, responsibility. Otherwise a true healing will not be possible. That positivity isn't really about the world/3D, and, in fact, I have to stop all the importance and all the meaning I attach to the life on earth to be able to remember/experience true positivity to whatever degree this is possible. What I call my ordinary life 'software', so to speak, is full of viruses. I need to stop or suspend that software completely to be able to interact and identify with real and simple existential positivity, again, to whatever extent this is possible in my subjective point of view.

 

[bozadi]

My desire isn't really about escaping the life on earth. I just want to get rid of my false self, the falsity of which I often forget about. I don't think that this will be possible very soon but I can't imagine a real life, a real existence for myself without doing that, or, at least, without committing to doing that.

At which point, you'd need to become very specific about these habits that are harming you and address them one by one. OSIT

Yes, and there are tooo many of them. In fact, the root problem is not about specific 'habits' but "the habit". The wrong fundamental habit of mistreating myself on any grounds. The habit that the Matrix always forces me to embrace. Apparently, it has established almost an entire life in which it's only too normal to mistreat oneself and others.

 

[bozadi]

In my 'work on self', I intend to create moments, as many of them as possible, in which I'm completely sure that I'm not mistreating myself. That usually happens, when it occassionally does, as a deepning intent to slowly and gradually transform to pure positivity, whatever my subjective view and experience of it is. I believe that the purest positivity is 7D or its big-bang phase. So, I don't think that I'll attain the purest positivity anytime soon, although, as the C's say, it's everything in the eternal here and now. Any positivity, any being is it in varying degrees of purity. So, in a sense, treating myself right means consciously progressing towards it (towards the purest state of myself and of all else). Noticing or being sure of this progress is not difficult at all because it manifests with the immediate beginning or strengthening, even if minutely, of various types of healings needed in mind and body because, then, one stops or decreases mistreating one's mind and body. Taking good, slow, deep, healing breaths. Relaxing (stopping unconsciouss and excessive contractions, muscular and otherwise). The immediate and increasing alleviation of conscious and unconscious fear and desire complexes. You know, so many benefits traditionally associated with meditational practices.

I feel that as one specializes in self-work in the sense I'm trying to describe, all problems of the self arising from either the present and/or the previous incarnations will be softening, so that gradually they can be solved more and more easily. When one interacts and identifies with true positivity (which might also be called God), this creates a kind of self-sufficient mode. The abysss in the middle of the self (or the false self) tends to be closed. Or rather, the false self gradually fades.

So many parts or aspects of our ordinary life makes work on self difficult or even impossible at times. The prevailing frequencies are mostly uncompatible with it. So, most of the times, you can either concentrate on one or the other. Like "one can't hold two watermelons in one hand". Ordinary life experiences can also involve many valuable positive experiences at varying degrees but, I think, without the fundamental awareness of one's journey towards the purest being/positivity, one can easily get lost in the Matrix and eventually surrender to the consciously or unconsciously self-harming thoughts and practices. The more I can help myself, the more I can be of help to others.

 

[T.C.]

On the contrary, it is these very parts and aspects of our ordinary life that give us the opportunity to work on ourselves.

Hence:

The prevailing frequencies are mostly uncompatible with it.

If it was not for those prevailing frequencies, there would be no need to do The Work. We do The Work in order to be able to overcome them.

Thank you T.C., so true. They can be awakening as well as obstructive. In fact, my own relative success in figuring out an effective mode of self-work for myself has become possible only after serious episodes of suffering, in part related to the suffering of loved ones, humans and animals alike. Painful experiences against which I've been painfully incapable have forced me to think about what to do next in the face of all the ongoing sufferings in both my personal world and also the world in general. And I've finally made the conclusions I mentioned, which, of course, is only a beginning, not a perfection.
