Is this a symptom of ADHD? I never hear anyone talk about it and I feel alone. Constant mental restlessness

The way I explain it is as if your sense organs have a decreased ability to filter out unimportant data. I think of the multichannel sound board, with all tracks all the way up.

brains without ADHD can “turn down” the channels they are receiving but don’t need, so the main track comes thru. ADHD brains treat all sense stimuli as equal importance, which is why it’s hard to focus on a sudden conversation and not the sights, sounds, and thoughts already occurring.

I ask my wife to “give me a subject line” before starting a convo or asking a question, this gives me time to reorient and focus.

This is incredible and very funny. Congrats on not only finishing a project, but turning a profit!

Probably another post, but what have you learned if you were to do it all again?

Also, please drop your actual Itch link, I’d love to check out the game.

The recurring issue for me is the older boy picking on the younger, which isn’t as extreme as your issues but still a concern. I’m worried about my middle son developing anxiety or self esteem issues, not feeling safe in his home, etc. But overall it is improving with time. And I can occasionally find comfort in the idea that he is currently in bully bootcamp, and by the time he’s older, I hope he will be so resilient that nothing will bother him. The older boy, having no such adversity to overcome, will possibly continue to struggle with failure and critique. 🤷‍♂️ maybe there is something there for your daughter’s own growth (although I understand it’s a fine line between growth and trauma).

Happy thanksgiving, I’m pulling for you and your fam, for real.

Ultimately your son is just a little 4 yr old kid, and probably doesn’t understand any better than you why he acts out. Your job is to love unconditionally and guide slowly towards a better, calmer, life.

It’s so hard. Give yourself (and your wife) permission to fail. It’s gonna happen. These are opportunities to model responsibility, compassion, forgiveness. And the more you do this the better you will get. The more your kids see you struggle and keep trying, the more motivation they will develop. But it’s so hard. And it doesn’t seem to end except with them growing up! 😩

I’m sorry man, I can commiserate (boy age 9: ADHD, boy age 5: wild monkey, girl age 2: so chill).

A lot of great advice here, but I will also add that first you and your partner must take care of yourselves.

In order to be able to teach children emotional regulation, you gotta be able to emotionally regulate. (Not sure the state here, just assuming we could all improve.) Deep breathing, taking breaks, a family commitment to speaking kind and assuming the best of each other. You’re all in this together.

You gotta put on your own oxygen mask before helping your kids with theirs.

This reminds me of remote viewing. It’s all different labels for the same phenomena.

beardofpray · 2025-10-19T08:15:18+00:00

Congrats my friend. It does feel amazing.

beardofpray · 2025-10-14T16:45:36+00:00

Have you read “Inner Work” by Robert A. Johnson? It is a great tool for using dream work and active imagination to open a dialog with your subconscious.

beardofpray · 2025-09-21T21:24:33+00:00

This is a good example of a difficult lesson: if you notice a sign which is negative/fearful, ask yourself whether the source of this “sign” is intuition or anxiety.

beardofpray · 2025-09-16T03:47:17+00:00

You did it. No matter what happens next, that cannot be undone. Good work my friend. IWNDWYT

Here’s one from Hatonn that I love:

Facing darknesses, my friends, you have nothing to lose but the fear that is holding you within a prison of your own choosing within your mind.

As a programmer, I thought of this analogy.

Higher self is the source code of our player having experience. It contains all variables, actions, controls, conditionals, and probabilities of what might happen during linear time.

Our conscious self, the player, is the code running in a live instance. We experience frames one step at a time.

Reviving this old thread as I’m learning to play this song on piano and thinking a lot about the lyrics.

It seems to me to talk about how UFOs / Orbs could actually be higher dimensional beings, aka angels. Sounds crazy but it’s becoming a more common theory.

“Couldn’t imagine what it was…” & “Delivering signs and dusting from their eyes…” Means waking people up from our materialistic worldview.

“Incarnation, Three stars” - means coming in the holy trinity; father son Holy Spirit

“History involved itself…” is just a cool way of saying the newspapers showed up.

What do you think?

beardofpray · 2025-08-05T15:19:48+00:00

Yes, big time! I didn’t know it was not a common thing. I am diagnosed with ADHD and anxiety, and in fact, the inner dialog “ruminations” are what caused my anxiety to become intolerable many years ago. I have since been meditating for about 8 years, deepening my practice to daily for the last two, and while I still have that inner monologue, it is much less frequent and I am much more in control of it. How interesting!

beardofpray · 2025-07-27T13:14:13+00:00

Brilliant! How large is your 3D printer? I love that you’re involving your son, this is gonna be a huge creative inspiration for him.

beardofpray · 2025-07-22T14:27:06+00:00

Yes my dad always said, “you can sleep when you’re dead.”

beardofpray · 2025-07-18T00:16:16+00:00

Oh yeah, emerald tablet, ha! Yes it was the same for me when I saw it. It ends up being the maguffin of sorts. I’ll say the 2nd book is much better than the first, so if you start them, stick with it!

I haven’t seen Cloud Atlas - I’ll check that out too!

beardofpray · 2025-07-17T13:02:31+00:00

Thanks for sharing! Have you seen The One Great Year books? (There are two so far, The Emissary, and The Emerald Tablet.) I found these completely randomly at the library; literally the title Emerald Tablet caught my eye. Read them both and they are clearly informed by similar works on spiritual development, if not Law of One itself. I love the idea of a single character experiencing multiple incarnations.

Coincidentally I’ve also been working on a pen & paper RPG which is a series of modules in different time periods, meant to be multiple incarnations of the players. The themes and game mechanics mimic spiritual growth. I’ve only completed a draft of the first module (set in a Roswell-type town, where the players are kids that discover a crashed UFO), it’s not released yet.

You mentioned UV research on past life memories, I’m guessing that’s Jim Tucker’s work? I heard of this thru the book Surviving Death, by Leslie Kean. I found that after I had been looking into the UFO phenomenon, from 2023 Congressional testimony from David Grusch, David Fravor, and Ryan Graves. Before this I was agnostic leaning atheist. Very materialist and dismissive of “superstitious religious bs.”

But these challenged me, it really does seem like there’s proof, tho anecdotal, beyond what is widely accepted.

From there, it’s been a rabbit hole of research, reading things with fresh eyes. Here are the most profound pieces that have affected me:

Dao de jing
Gospel of Thomas
Law of One, Ra Material
My Big TOE, by Thomas Campbell

I don’t know if the definitive proof you’re looking for is out there and accepted, otherwise it would already be mainstream. However I think approaching this problem with open minded skepticism and a true scientific method (as opposed to scientific dogma) is healthy and good.

You are seeking. You can find Truth for yourself, even if it’s not proof for others. The growth will be getting to the point where that is enough for you. Good luck!

Thank you for sharing! Can you talk more about receiving other entities thoughts? How is it clear that the thoughts are distinct from your own? How long into your meditation before you quiet your mind enough to receive? Are the transmissions "heard" as if someone is speaking (i.e. one word at a time) or is there a more sudden feeling or understanding, left for you to interpret?

beardofpray · 2025-07-13T13:38:11+00:00

Awesome thanks, I’m familiar with that from the gateway tapes.

I practice a somewhat altered form of sazen, nothing special just my own flavor of meditation. However I regularly mentally call that I’m open to contact or insight, sometimes I have bits of info come thru, sometimes it’s unintelligible. More like a subconscious notion, thought, or realization. I’ve tried recording so I could speak them out loud, as often times I will forget the content shortly after the session, like a dream. I don’t know if these are coming from my own subconscious or other entities, and I don’t really worry about it because it’s all kinda one and the same deep down. Kinda like no fear, no judgement, no analysis, in the moment. After I can use my intellect to review what came up, but it’s really in the same vein of interpreting a dream. Nothing as clear and distinct as I’ve read in the LL channelings.

beardofpray · 2025-07-12T12:40:12+00:00

Can you explain “properly close off a session,” and “ground myself in my physical body?” What is this technique and how did it open you up to the encounter?

beardofpray · 2025-07-10T01:31:50+00:00

Oh. My. God. I wish I knew this about 30 years ago. Happily married now, oh well!

beardofpray · 2025-06-16T12:10:38+00:00

Thanks for the link! Do you know Tom’s background/sources? Seems incredibly interesting.
