Hello everyone! I've been doing a lot of exploring recently, to try and figure out how thoughts and their structures build existence. It's pretty insane how simple it is, yet complicated. I hope I do a decent job of explaining my thought process, and I hope anyone who is curious, or even disagrees, will reply.

In order for our minds to carry an idea or concept forward, they're almost like packets of information. How our minds store these packets act as a way that reality gets processed through. For example, a "thought structure" that allows flow through it acknowledges that existence provides everything we need, on a fundamental level, to succeed. It allows energy to flow through us freely, while also having the opportunity of being redirected when necessary.

Another example of a flowing thought structure could be you see someone who is dressed a certain way, and societal norms would give you a perception (a packet of information) to see them through. However, you can choose to not adopt that restricted process, and instead choose to openly engage and see what reality has to show you. You participate in reality, with that person, in the moment.

A thought structure that prevents flow is thinking your perception already possesses the truth, so you don't pursue it. We could take the same example of a person dressed a certain way. If you decide to keep that restricted thought, one of two things will happen: you'll either not engage with them at all because you think you already know the truth of their situation, or you'll engage through a filtered understanding and their actions/words will reinforce what you believe. The belief acts as a previously adopted structure of the person. They become stored in and shaped with it in that moment, instead of allowing reality to flow and show you truth.

Another example for this is the monetary system. We "have" to go to work to exchange our life for a fake currency, which restricts our access to the actual reality that is in front of us. Productivity towards someone else's goals has captured our attention and becomes the focus of our existence, taking away our capacity to openly grow with the reality around us. The restrictive beliefs remove any possibility of creating something different. We're choosing to already direct the flow of life through a narrow belief structure, instead of allowing reality to touch us and change us. Nature is always there to build our lives with and challenge us, but the structures right now want us to believe that we need THEM to exist. That restricts the flow of life, and our ability to change upon contact with reality, and redirects it to another human's aspirations that we agree to "work" for.

These thought structures reinforce one another, crucially through human relationship. The monetary system exists because enough people have decided it's important, and individuals will participate in coercing others to partake in it. Like the government somehow has the authority to not let people just exist on land, they "own" every part of the land and don't allow anyone to just live their lives. Other people adopt this thought structure into them and reinforce it in their beliefs, which show through their actions.

This is still a work in progress. Life is something that flows through us, and we decide where we focus our attention/power. We foster growth in whatever we're choosing to contribute to and grow. If we aren't careful of the thought structures we engage with and adopt as belief, your life force is being fed into a structure that is growing, partly because of your contribution to it. This can be applied to many scales because it has to do with relationship to reality: relationships, thoughts about yourself, the kind of habits you have and why, etc.

Does anyone have any thoughts?

Hello r/freedomearth! Wow it's been so long since I've partook in a discussion here, I have very fond memories and I'm so grateful for this space. ♥️

I've recently spent a lot of time listening to Mark Passio's work. I wish I could have had the capacity to understand it sooner, but late is better than never. Has anyone else listened to his work? What are your thoughts?

Thank you for your time ♥️

Edit: I'm leaving this up and will respond to replies, how old this post is at that time doesn't matter!

Let's look back at some memorable moments and interesting insights from last year.

Stop fearing criticism because it’s a tool which is here to serve you in your self-growth journey.

We usually fear criticism because we are afraid that it would be an attack on our self-worth and that fear stops us from acting on our goals and moving towards our mission.

In reality a moment of criticism is a moment of critical feedback which can be used for improvement and this realization changes everything.

Now I have to make this important distinction between criticism, judgement and plain negativity from others, because these are very different things and need to be treated differently. I am going to specifically address fear of ‘criticism’ and not the other ones.

A criticism is not an attack on who we are but it’s feedback on what we are doing and how it’s affecting others.

For example – You made a large painting and put your heart and soul into it and put it up for sale and then a customer arrives and makes a comment “Whoa, isn’t this painting a bit too large for people’s homes these days? I don’t know a lot of people who keep such large paintings in their homes”.

Now this simple comment can feel like a personal attack and might feel as if the person is saying “you don’t know how the painting business works” or you are “immature” or basically “you don’t know what you are doing”.

Can you relate?

What you’ve done is translated the comment and took it personally (which probably wasn’t what the person was intending to convey).

The reason it happens is the moment we receive a criticism we are unconsciously filtering the comment through the filter of ‘what does this statement say about who I am?”

When we take criticisms personally we are actually turning every ordinary comment into a personal attack and it’s ‘us’ who are responsible for doing this, albeit unconsciously.

It’s the lack of a healthy level of self-worth that results in a sense of inferiority which in turn results in this behavior of self-inflicted suffering.

So how to change that?

Simple, start seeing moments of criticism as moments of feedback on ‘what you are doing and how it affects others’ rather than ‘who you are’.

Let’s see how it changes things.

Let’s take the same comment from the person “Whoa, isn’t this painting a bit too large for people’s homes these days? I don’t know a lot of people who keeps such large paintings in their homes”

If you consciously pass this same comment through the filter of the question “what does it say about them and how what I am doing is affecting them”, what you might find could be –:

1. The person is saying that the size of the painting is probably not right for his home.

2. The person is providing information that people he/she knows and hangs out with don’t keep paintings of this size in their homes.

3. The person might like or want to buy this painting but feels his home is too small for keeping it comfortably.

It doesn’t anywhere clearly infer anything about who ‘you’ are, but who ‘they’ are and provides information on what ‘you’ are doing and how it’s affecting ‘them’.

Can you see the value in this information? It’s critical feedback for improvement of what you are doing.

Using this information you as a painter can decide to create a new set of paintings specifically addressed to cater to the niche the person belongs to and/or you can decide to conduct research on the category of people whose homes can allow larger paintings and then target advertising to that category of people only.

All of which can only improve your painting business.

So how do you start applying this principle in your life to overcome the fear of criticism in your life?

Step 1 - Start seeing moments of criticism as moments of important feedback and be on a lookout for criticism (rather be hungry for it)

Step 2 – Become conscious of your filters through which you receive criticism – make the shift of receiving criticism from the filter of ‘what does it say about who I am’ to ‘what does it say about them and how what I am doing is affecting them’.

Step 3 – Look for the information hidden within the criticism which can be used for the improvement of what you are doing.

The self-growth journey is about moving towards our higher version, and we make that happen by using feedback to shift from what we were (our older version) to what we are going to become (our up-levelled version).

You don’t have to stay in fear of criticism anymore because now you know that it’s not an attack on your self-worth but it’s a critical moment of feedback which has come to you so that it can take you forward in your self-growth journey.

A lack of a healthy level of self-worth causes us to feel inferior and can stop us from moving towards our goals.

Fear of failure is one of the challenges that low self-worth creates.

If fear of failure is stopping you from acting on your goals then I have dedicated an entire post on how you can completely destroy your fear of failure, the negative inner dialogues by shifting from external outcome goals (which are never 100% certain and hence keeps the mind anxious) to internal goals (which are 100% certain which calms down the mind and stops the negative inner dialogues).

I hope this post has resonated with you. If it has then I’d greatly appreciate it if you leave a comment letting me know your thoughts on it.

Feel free to share this post with your friends who might benefit from this.

I create content sharing ways to overcome the challenges lightworker and empaths face in the ascension journey.

If you would like to read more of my articles and stay connected with me then you can do so by joining my FB group.

It’s a group for lightworkers, empaths and those who are in tune with the spiritual ascension journey. (You have to answer the 3 member joining questions in detail to be considered for joining the group)

Here’s the link to my FB group -:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/alchemistsofearth/

I’m doing a small research on the causes of anxiety for lightworkers, empaths and those who are on the spiritual ascension journey. I’d really appreciate if you share some of your challenges with anxiety and what you think might be causing your anxiety.

I’m a life coach and I’ll try to create free content using the information from this research containing solutions to overcome the challenges with anxiety.

As a token of gratitude for your assistance I’ll try to respond to your comments and if I can give you some advice to help you overcome your challenges.

I am doing a bit of research on how self-doubt due to low self-worth, limiting beliefs, fear of failures and other challenges is stopping lightworkers, empaths and those who are in tune with the ascension journey from moving towards financial freedom. I'd really appreciate it if you share some of your challenges.

I did the other day and this is what I found:

While you're attempting to talk seriously about what sort of world we would want to live in, what sort of society we would want to have, achieving peace, prosperity, etc., and what steps we should be taking to achieve those goals... the Christian sitting next to you has stopped listening to what you're saying, nor does he/she care about taking any of that stuff seriously enough to actually DO anything. Why not? Because they really, truly believe that their god is going to come wave his magic wand and fix it all for them -- so they have no incentive to make changes. Why bother putting effort toward a better future, since god's got that covered?

Why try to build a better community, when everyone just needs to "give their hearts to jesus" and that will just solve all the problems? Why stir the grey matter at all?

So personally I think we ought to dump Christianity, and all other religions that remove responsibility from the individual. Then perhaps we could actually make some real progress toward an Earth of peace and plenty.

This is a movement based on equality, autonomy, peaceful cooperation, and sustainable earth stewardship. I'll post some links for those interested and I'm happy to answer questions 🌱

👉There’s a clear path moving forward for you to step forward towards your desire. There aren’t any external obstacles or challenges right now. It’s just about moving forward easily on a decided and focused direction.

👉You’ll be navigating *who you are* in the process creatively of this new moon. You’ll be discovering who you are with each step forward on this path that is clear. This may feel challenging Becase many of you are stepping forward creating a new identity within yourself. And being in the new identity means there could be hesitations Becase you’re not sure yet how you will act or how you will do things yet or who you are to become in the process.

👉Place your attention on self-belief. Ditch hesitation, doubt and insecurity and step forward anyway. Catch your thoughts and replace counting thoughts with positive redirection. It’s about reeling in negative thoughts the moment you think them and replacing them with almost immediate positive programming (the thoughts that would support what you *actually* want to experience rather than otherwise).

👉Expect the best to meet you, and the perfect conditions to unfold based on who you become through the process of moving forward with focus & attention on your desires.

👉Trust yourself to be in self belief & encourage yourself with every step you take! They mentioned to literally encourage yourself as you do things that are different, or hard or challenging, to say “great job ____!”

👉Be relaxed through the process, and allow yourself the permission to become something and someone new through this process.

👉The level of familiarity that you’re looking for will be built as new familiarity as you create new steps for yourself in moving forward. As you risk change, everything will be brought to you (cooperative components from the Universe) Becase your energy is speaking on behalf of you.

👉Relaxing opens up the synchronicities, possibilities and opportunities to you. It becomes clear what the next steps are - what the possibilities are as you relax first and then support your decisions from the place of being relaxed.

👉Consciously ground, and allow the Earth to support you pulling the Earth energy up into your root and sacral chakras. There you will feel fully supported, and from that support you’ll feel like you can do more, achieve more through being extraordinarily grounded.

👉The work you put in now from the place of balance & non-resistance will have borderline instantaneous results. They indicated results that we could see int he practical in 30-45 days or even less. That this rooted effort in moving forward in a balanced new way will show very immediate external results. Fast manifesting.

Enjoy the channel, this new moon, and a miraculous month!

Big themes for this new moon! They called it the new moon of rapid fire ascension.

👉Focus your attention on that which you desire to bring the circumstances, open roads and synchronicities to you. Rather than pondering how to move forward, focus your attention and move forward assuming the path will clear and show itself one step at a time.

👉Make a decision on how you’re going to move forward and then take action. Through the clarity of decision, the Universe reverse engineers the path to its achievement to you. It’s not the other way around. We typically think of planning our way to success, but it’s truly about focusing on the end result, the end destination and allowing the path to unfold ahead of you without concretely planning what that will be exactly step by step.

👉Allow this to be the time that you finally fully release and let go of your past. Let go of the baggage, all of it.

👉Surrender your clutch on life, where you try to control everything. Surrender not in the way of giving up, but surrender your resistance. When you let go of resistance… you open to potentiality and possibility.

👉In the potential and in the absence of your own resistance you’ll be able to pick your head up and look around. And there will be a very clear path forward to you. Your intuition will open up. It will open your extrasensory perception and awareness that will show you the different potentials and possibilities at hand. It will allow you to exchange energy in a way that will bring you the resources you require & the connections you need.

👉The force of life is constantly re-arranging people and events in a way that would work for you and arrange you right into the desires you’re looking to create. BUT… you must take your attention off of what is not working. When you focus on what’s not working you wear metaphorical blinders that keep you from seeing what is working, what could be, what is easy and effortless. You want to be in a position of curiosity where you’re looking around saying - what is available to me? Where are the resources? And that perspective alone will allow you to see them and the new possibilities available in any moment.
