MOD LXXVII

Mental Obsession Discussion / Emotional Sobriety / Spiritual Malady

MOD episodes have no shelf-life or expiration date. Our focus is principled so each episode reflects the immediate peace and stability of our Ever-Present Knowing Awareness that clarifies conflicted impressions manifest by the instability and hyper-reactivity of obsessive thinking.
If the essence of existence exists then it is essential. To think we can be excluded from what is essential is to mis-think. Thoughts of this nature are conflicted. Absolute Reality, Truth, or Life - do not change even while thinking dramatically effects how Life is experienced and as a result how we dysfunctionally choose to behave.
Addiction is the vain attempt to reverse nature's natural order. Life’s terms are the law and order of nature. Our nature is natural. Lies are perfect examples of disorder. A lie lasts only as long as something false is imagined to be the only thing it cannot be: true. Lies only seem to exist in thought. They have no other place beyond imagination. When we choose to believe false is true we choose obsessive thinking. Attending to what is not happening takes attention from what is happening. Reactive, impulsive, and compulsive behaviors are symptoms of mental addiction; as mental obsessions are persistent reminders of this.
Obsessive thinking is something we choose. That we think is not a choice. Thinking is naturally something humans do. It is how amd what we think that we choose. And it is when choices that dont align with reality once relied on as truth that creates the chain reaction of obsessive thoughts. If we didn't start it there would be nothing to stop. To think we have nothing to do with it is to think we can only chronically repeat it. Thinking we have nothing to do with it - of course - comes with the lasting impression there is nothing we can do about it. Lies always generate lies. Contaminated seed; poison fruit. The mental allergy of mental addiction is a lie. Lies last only as long as faith, hope and belief in them will one day make them true. This is the impossibility of obsessive thinking. When enough is never enough neither will any more ever be enough.
What we start, what we choose, we can undo easier than struggle to redo. Understanding the mechanics of this condition has taking it seriously - where there is nothing funny about it - into the laughable joke that it is.
You are not an imposter or a loathsome liar to have obsessive thoughts. Though within thought you can imagine both those things define you - while they actually and accurately describe and define only what you choose to think - of a self wholly imagined in thought.
Think about it in all its changing shapes, shades and shadows.
Nothing can be simpler than an Absolute Source that never changes. There is nothing easier to complicate than simplicity.
Stay tuned. Listen in, Listen up,
