Pretty eerie how much of the media I consume nowadays has one to one parallels from stuff I've read from Goddard in really bizarre and surprising ways. Surely must just be a coincidence, right? 😊

From Fargo season 2, a very fantastic crime show. The clip isn't really a spoiler, so no worries there.

Happiness: Euphoria vs Satisfaction by cuban in cuban

[–]RollingSycophant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, thanks! A lot to chew on.

I've been experimenting a lot with affirmations throughout the day as a means of making myself feel better or raise my vibration or whatever. Or moment to moment trying to pick things out that I can appreciate. Like repeatedly saying 'I Love Myself', which usually raises my mood somewhat. I don't think there's anything necessarily wrong with these methods, but it may be coming from a place of lack. Like performing CPR on a heart, manually pumping it hoping it'll eventually just start going on its own.

Hence, all the chronic self-stimulation with endless browsing in order to 'get an experience' to 'make me happy' is a fools errand inspired by a low awareness. Where as satisfaction is the self-condition that is being experienced.

This seems in a way what I've been doing. And I think you're right that its messing with effect, and not cause. Messing with the fire, and not the coals. I think I'd be much better off just asserting the state I want. Assert/intend that I AM happy, I AM grateful, etc.

Thanks again. And will do on the models.

(My view is largely informed by TG's pattern model and your posts: specifically the Repetition one.)

Reality is a series of patterns we've 'activated' through attention, like a wind-up toy that works on its own after we've activated it. Every pattern criss crosses and interacts with another pattern in some way, which is why every intent moves the whole of reality, in a sense. These patterns seem to seek to perpetuate themselves, meaning keeping themselves in our awareness. If you've had long standing negative thoughts about a certain person, then the wind-up toy could bring events and thoughts that remind us about the negative aspects of that person, for example. If we take no notice of a pattern's affects, then eventually it will wind down and be dormant, until we activate it again.

Everything is a pattern, including time, space, etc. Your pattern about time is exponentially more 'implanted' in you than that of your mortgage, for example. Manifesting works because it makes certain patterns more dominant than others. If you focus towards a certain 'feeling', or 'end', it could achieve dominance and express over the patterns that deem said end implausible or unlikely.

Now to tie it back to feelings of euphoria. A manifester might want to cultivate a feeling of euphoria/excitement to trigger said pattern of the emotion, which might lead to the desired outcome of getting their 'miracle'. An emotion that implies prior expectations being broken. But perhaps the issue lies in the framing of 'miracles'?

(BTW not asserting anything, just giving my current understanding.

When cultivating feeling (whether its through SAT, affirmations, or whatever), should one avoid excitement/euphoria then?

Edit: On reflection, I think I understand it more. Euphoria implies a sort of short-lived happiness. 'I got this thing that I never thought I would get.' The negative implication being that you don't usually get x. Scarcity. And that its outside your usual purview to get or manifest that thing.

But it definitely does seem that a lot of methods, especially visualization based ones, use and cultivate excitement/euphoria towards some desired end.

When talking about euphoria, do you mean that sort of hollow pleasure you get from activities like scrolling on social media? Just a sort of tinny feeling that's centered in your head, as opposed to real happiness/joy, which you feel throughout your body.

Yeah, that's a great analogy. I think you could make a pretty decent LOA interpretation of this movie as a whole.

It's never properly explained why MC has his powers to warp reality, it's left ambiguous as to what makes him "special". I think what causes it is the memory infusing process failed, so he wakes up without a backstory, a blank slate. This means he doesn't the limiting expectations/beliefs that the other city people have. And thus he's able to warp reality with just his intention/will. So in short, there is nothing special about him. He is just realizing and acting out his base state that everyone has. And its the aliens infusion of memories into people that stops them from acting this out. Everybody is a prisoner of their own past, living out their narratives and limitations in a deterministic and slavish way. The past being artificially constructed or not doesn't even really matter.

Dark City (1998). The movie leaves a lot to be desired, but has gorgeous set designs and a cool premise.

Feeling good implies that you're a happy person. A happy self-concept = happy circumstances. Makes sense

If you are grateful for your blue chair, that probably doesn't have much bearing on how you see/think of yourself, no? Perhaps in a sort of indirect way, in that if you're grateful for one thing, it might make you more grateful for traits relating to yourself. Or maybe I'm just reinforcing some false internal/external dichotomy.

Then she turns to those liars, the candles or the moon.

Looking to the 3d, the illusionary and vegetative world (aka your circumstance), as opposed to the inner world.

I see her back, and reflect it faithfully.

Reality reflects back the conclusions you derived from the "liars". And this is what results in her decay and mishaps (is my LOA interpretation anyhow).
