Ah, but it never is. I didn't write you when you wrote of that former distress at the shelter, because frankly I didn't know what to advise, not being from your state or knowing how the system works. But I'm glad your persistence got accepted.There is something I thought about, concerning "feeding the mind". I don't think one can control everything one takes in, 100%, because we're not isolated from all humanity. Even if you go away from everyone, still you are connected through the wi fi of your thoughts. Surely self-improvement can benefit.. but what I was thinking is that I, at least, can't control everything in my life or the stream of thoughts passing through me. I can try be a better person, try having healthy habits. But maybe I'm not an example. There is this lady who eats only veggies and fruits she grows in her garden, all raw. She looks dozens of years younger than her false chronological age, and maybe it says she is also in a good state inwardly. They say the psyche and the body go together, though couldn't there be healthy people with sick minds, or sick people whose psyche is strong and healthy? But sure, one can try and feed the mind with ideals. IP: Logged |

Ideals can confuse you from your path as you move though, or so I've found, but yeah ideals can be used too I guess. Poems are much better though, Aye  ? IP: Logged |

It depends on the ideals. How can ideals divert one from his/her path? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts. Poems are something else. IP: Logged |

As you move, the path creates itself on its own, what may come may not fit with your expectations of how it 'must be', and you will think you've put a foot wrong somewhere, when you could actually have been rather close... IP: Logged |

Question is: are we a bundle of instincts and follow these without a will? Or are our instincts our will?.. The mind might confuse us, but should we not think with our hearts? If our thought is divorced from feeling, chaos is bound to distort perception. You can trust the way, even when it leads to self annihilation. But suppose you want to rule your fate, maybe you need learn the tides. I don't mean YOU personally, you may know all you need... IP: Logged |

Sounds to me like you're in the perfect spot to exercise this: quote:
Instead of Re-Acting to Negative,
going within and allowing our
Higher Consciousness to guide us
with Positive Thoughts, Wisdom
through
Love and Understanding
without judgement...
Harder to do than to say when sharing a room with someone who has very different beliefs on how they were born, or otherwise having different ideas on right and wrong. Alternately, in clarifying those thoughts more so that they're more relatable. I can tell you there have been people in situations that I hope you have never been in that get INFURIATED to hear what they should've thought or chanted as something vile was being forced on them by someone else, as if you're responsible for the actions of others as much as your own, and could thus use some clarification.

As you know, I dealt with a
transgender that is an addict,
and using the system...
We have another who chose the
men's dorm, which of course
did not work out..I'm glad to
report that he's in the women's
dorm with us, and there have
been no problems...this transgender
wrote an article if you like to
read it..google, manchester ink,
Homeless in Manchester, transgenders...This person is
my friend!Other updates..for weeks now I
have brought to their attention
that our women's dorm has only
one exit..if a fire broke out at
or near our exit..most of us
would surely perish..I am being
ignored on so many issues... Today, I am frustrated! ------------------

Yes, it is frustrating when you see that something should be fixed and people just won't listen. Can you go above the managers?
Yet you do what you can.. I hope no upheaval comes.
It's not always just up to us. But at least you're not frustrated with yourself! You do your best, and maybe you won't give up on this cause. But maybe it feels like being powerless in the situation, not understanding why our positive thoughts don't materialize immediately. It can be tiring. And I see it is an important matter. No struggle is in vain. Be kind to yourself. IP: Logged |

And where you end? You may never know! Maybe one can just watch what floats or moves through one's mind, and just observe.. no judgement. Or... Also... Spending time alone, to try to sort yourself out, could be important. I know you meditate, so I guess you know how it can assist.
Who are you, really?
You see oneness with everyone. Maybe it's an easy spiritual concept for you to grasp, because of your nature. Maybe you may not have to discern your seperate self, but look for divinity, the high, the noble? Maybe searching it, or seeing divinity in others, and yourself, mingling, even when it's dark and conflicted.
Namaste???

^ I love mingling rather than watching, I tried watching 90% of the time for a year and it made me feel so disconnected(but it was "quite" an experience I must say, I had an awful time coming back to the body though, and I really struggled with daily life coz I wasn't quite inside it the whole time lol, I am somewhat tryna find a balance now, but tbh it does indeed feel to me like it is indeed a "jump" rather than going and coming as you wish), from everything I do really, mingling with the dark has its perils tho, I found you might lose what you gained when you mingled with the light, but maybe thats the point here, eh. Mingling with people is far more complicated tho, atleast dark is darkkk(in other words you know what to expect......while people on the other hand, hehhehheh) .Yeahh, who am I, really, such a sad questionable **** , but also has such a delight of its own, freedom is the best word tho, hahh. But I think the easiest way to get there would be to live absolutely uninhibtedly according to your nature(this in itself is cluttered by many things in most cases), perhaps if a child would be left to live freely(while also teaching him some rules to live in society for his/her own protection and also for others' protection ofcourse) he/she won't be needing any groundwork(which is absolutely necessary in my experience, therapies, catharsis and all that, it'd please the scientists and psychologists of the society too and at the same time as well as the "GURU$$$" ) before going for meditation or meditating might come naturally to the person even, it'd just like resting, and honestly it is.

Don't be too fast to count that egg. I know from experience that politicians show up and talk big for some positive press, and then flake out in a big way. And spare me the thoughts thing. In one case we were all super excited about it and come up with elaborate plans so a council woman who had been an opponent of us could see the actual conditions without being put in danger while also not alerting the media (or even the police as that would change police behavior to all homeless at the time). But once again a politician talked a big game and flaked. We were confused and figured something came up and were going to reschedule, but she wouldn't even return our calls. To say our thoughts made her do that is to say our thoughts mind controlled her. IP: Logged |
