Imagine you could become entirely nonreactive...

[Complexion]

Many people in life are carried along by their emotions that write checks in the moment that they then must cash later by living with the consequence. In that respect you've got to agree that free will is an illusion because people follow the energy prompts then rationalize/regret at leisure. Again and again.

Whats odd is this is pretty much invisible, yet ever present and no one speaks on it. With that in mind:

Imagine you could become entirely nonreactive. Would you take that option? Note, I'm not saying you're going to be walking around like the Terminator and feeling nothing as you ice grill irrespective like you're trying out for the Birdman biopic audition. No, the sketch is you'll still feel the emotion within if someone pushes your buttons, you get amped up or whatever. Just that there will be a space to breathe in. A little gap where you decide what comes next. A taste of true freedom. Creating instead of reacting.

Would you pick this option? Have you ever wondered why it isn't standard equipment? How do you think your life would be different if you were always locked and loaded (or blazed and medicated as that does a similar thing by different means to the end). What would shift? Can you envision this alternate version of yourself with this upgrade installed into your awareness?

Standard equip or did you upgrade yourself? If so, how? Whats the method? Share the wisdom.

Already achieved,thats the pinnacle of righteousness. The shibboleth of being indifferent and righteously unnafected is how we differentiate whos who. Sometimes I purposely agitate posters,just to see if they will become indignant and truly affected

Mindfulness, transcendental meditation. I used to be super reactive as a kid but through years of realizing that, the one in control of their emotions is always the one in control of the situation helped. It's not an overnight thing but I think everyone with a bit of effort can get there.

came with evolving…the first step for me was letting go of anger…it’s a pointless emotion and serves no real purpose imo…

giving people grace and seeing myself in the people close to me and everyone I encounter randomly helped dissolve the concept of “other”…makes you feel more connected…

constantly self reflecting and being humble enough to recognize your own shortcomings as well as your strengths and making a concerted effort to move differently when you fukk up…

Its pretty amazing when it clicks. Its like rewatching a show you did as a jit but now seeing how crappy the specials effects and tricks were as its so obvious you aren't the thoughts or energetics but that which is watching and thus you aren't none of this but something totally different.

A true feeling of liberation. An upgrade in resolution. Things will never be the same again...

I’m on this path. What keeps me on point is saying to myself, “this other person is not in charge of how I act/react. I’m in charge.”

Like, how am I gonna be chilling in a good mood and let that change just because another human approached me with some nonsense?

when the internal you realizes that it makes the external you, this thread becomes redundant

its easy to look at past choices and influences and say "Ha I see now" but in truth you do not see

the forces that compelled you if you were to do over could be completely different another time through and the consequences also. Its a grass is greener type dilemma. Rather, Its better to be accepting of your choices and understand that you did what you could within the reason you had when you had it such that the current you is living in the now rather than in the if and maybe.
