MOD XLVI

Mental Obsession Discussion / Emotional Sobriety / Spiritual Malady

MOD episodes have no shelf-life or expiration date. Since our focus is principled and always happening now - each episode always reflects the fluid motion and immediacy of current events.

Knowing we have an Absolute Source that is sound, stable, and ever presently available does not mean we are thinking as well. Our stable basis provides the clarity to see what we are thinking since the contrast of wrong always creates a disturbing effect.
Addiction is a lie - a mental illness - attempting to use every defensive and deceptive tactic to maneuver away from facing what we’re doing. To think things happen to us is to think we have nothing to do with what is happening. This line of irrational thought attempts to claim there is nothing we can do to stop obsessive thinking for as long as we don’t think we have anything to do with what we are in fact thinking. This idea favors non-existence as it is a suicidal thought. Lies only last as long as they’re claimed to be the thing they can never be: true.
We cannot have our own truth but we can think and say we do. If we can think what is happening can't, shouldn't or isn’t happening, while what is happening is always happening, it is an indication how capable we are to think we can deny reality and truth. Even to think we can avoid truth is to think thoughts capable of voiding truth. Only devoid thoughts think such things trying to be full of themselves with no such thing.

Our basis is intact and unmoved by any commotion we create. If nature is responsible for nature then as products of nature we are responsible. This does not mean we cannot think and act irresponsibly - since we are free to think and act any way we want. What this does mean is that acting irresponsibly is our choice and whether we like the consequences or not we are response-able.

Thinking is something we do. We cannot be what we do. We are the observer, not the things we do. We stage thought’s content as its director. We are the knowing observer of what is happening or we wouldn’t so clearly know something is wrong.

When we look we see. When we look through the lens of thought we see only what we think. To think of what we see as reality is how delusion takes illusions seriously enough to be thought of delusionally as anything other than imagination.
