Pain
The ‘thing’ about a diagnosis / label…
is that it’s a thing.
Which only exists as a concept / ‘reality’ on the level of form.
But beneath and beyond that is the actual truth.
Free of all concepts / ideas / illusions of constraint.
And free of the need to attach meaning to things.

When you look to another to give you something you’re refusing to give yourself,
what they offer will never hit the spot.
It’s yours to cultivate.
Not theirs to give.
And in your frustration of not getting what you think you want and need from someone else,
you point to them for not rising up adequately.
But it was you who did not rise up.
Hence your search for someone who would.

TRANSCRIPT
Me: “You can’t fix an illusion. And every problem is an illusion. It’s about seeing through it and seeing the truth and realizing there isn’t an issue beyond the fact that you are misperceiving what’s happening, and you’re misperceiving yourself.”
Her: “Yes.”
Me: “You already know the truth. And the fact that this feels like shit, and it feels constrictive, tells you you’re not perceiving correctly. You’re hurting. And suffering. And believing you’re powerless. That’s not the lens of truth.”
Her: “No.”

People pleasers aren’t any less controlling or manipulative than those who ‘take advantage’ of them.
Both are positioning themselves, and using others, to get their artificial needs met.

Avoiding ‘toxic’ people isn’t the solution.
(or even possible)
Becoming clean yourself is.

Why would you need to forgive?
What happened wasn’t wrong (it just was).
Nor was it about you.

One must abandon themselves in the attempt to ‘fill’ through external means what can only be satisfied internally through learning how to not self-abandon in the first place.

Whatever the addiction / compulsion is makes no difference.
It’s only ever about one’s relationship to their own power.
Which is perfectly demonstrated / out-pictured through one’s relationship to,
and experience of,
said substance / behaviour / person.

The world doesn’t need saving.
Nor do you or anyone else.

If someone is stuck on their bullshit, I swerve.
I want nothing to do with it.
They can figure that out on their own time.
Not mine.
You couldn’t pay me enough to deal with someone who is not ready to let go of their shit.
Because there’s nothing there for me.
And I could care less if they’re ever ready.
I am absolutely not invested in someone else’s freedom.
At all.
They have to want that for themselves enough to do what needs to be done.
Which means letting go of their crutches and excuses and actually standing on their own.
At that point, we play.
Until then, I’m gone.

your past
your thoughts
your trauma
your pain
your parents
your partner
your kids
your ex
your current circumstances
and your mental health issues
are not why you’re not free

I don’t care about bridging our divide.
I care about bridging my own.

I’m not going down there to get you.
You have to find your own way up.

You weren’t deceived.
You knew.
And chose to believe something else.
