false beliefs

Calibrated locus and range of the field of false beliefs.

Life After Life, by Raymond A. Moody

"Originally published in 1975, it is the groundbreaking study of one hundred people who experienced 'clinical death' and were revived, and who tell, in their own words, what lies beyond death." -- amazon.

"God allows me that"

Priority request: I don't have to fight, because God allows me that. Sometimes a lot of resistance just comes up because there is the [subjective] reality that God is denying the fulfillment of one's needs.

love the small self, surrender the ego

Priority request: A statement that summarizes spiritual work and lifts the paradox of surrender/letting go vs. love and also the paradox of 'me' as divinity vs. 'me' as the ego. As Doc taught we ought to let go of attachments, and keep love as an alignment.

duty to one's parents

Priority request: I feel somewhat burdened by feeling like I have to please my parents, honor their wishes, fulfil their needs, which I recontextualize by telling myself that it is my duty to them. How far can this posture take me?

statement: suffering has no upside except to teach you to choose happiness

When will we learn? Happiness is a choice.

(peaceful) acceptance of being confused

Similar in effect to the peace of admitting "I don't know."

spiritual escapism

Head in the clouds, nose in a spiritual book, and resisting the practical matters of human life such as the body, sex, money, relationships, or expressing your talents in the world.

Jnana Yoga (book), by Vivekananda

Priority request. "The book was based on a series of lectures on the topic delivered mainly in New York and London by Swami Vivekananda. These lectures were recorded by a professional stenogrpaher J.J.Goodwin (who later became a disciple of Swami Vivekananda."

honoring the totality of human experience

By request.

"There is only life, there is no one who has a life"

Priority request: Quote by Nisargadatta Maharaj, came up as a follow up to: “There is no individual soul.“

having one’s LoC calibrated

Priority request: I have no idea what my personal LoC is. I pray I am at 200. As a spiritual student of Doc... I am wondering if it is to the highest good to know my personal calibration so I can measure progress (or lack of) over time?

awareness of positive possibilities without energy to actualize them

Priority request: I've experienced this since discovering Doc's work.

lowest level of consciousness prior to enlightenment

Historically, the largest leap to 600. By request.

ego editing (1/10,000 second) slows as one advances spiritually

Request: Wondering if Reality reveals itself gradually or if editing dissolves totally in an instant by the Will.
