The Gate

There will always be thoughts. We just learn not to believe them.

All day long I dis-identify from thought, as much as I am able to. Staying alert, present and relaxed.
There's not much else to report. I just wanted to check in with you.

After writing the last message I went and meditated. A lot of stuff came up. I realized I was resisting a lot of things in my life. Then I realized it was all thought. I was believing the thoughts. I didn't even realize I was believing the thoughts. Wow.

Good work! Keep going.

Loving,

Good work! Keep going.

Thank you for your encouragement!
It's quite surprising and exciting.

You're welcome!

Hi Stacy,

I continue to practice, that is all. Nothing new to report at the moment.
I hope you are well.

Love,
Jacki

Good. I'm okay.

Much love,

Hi Stacy,

Ilona released a video a few days ago and I felt as though she was speaking directly to me.

It's directed towards the person who inquires where is the separate self and finds nothing and expects something more because it's too simple. She says that the pause after asking the question, that space is the answer.
It was very powerful for me. It resonated deeply. Here it is, if you are interested:

Good! She's right, of course. It is very simple.

We're watching for a shift in perception.

I'm not pushing hard like I was before. I was applying a lot of effort. Relaxing into presence. I was looking past "it." I'm just observing thoughts, not pushing and pulling on them as much. Just letting them be there, knowing they just appear and disappear on their own. I made a pizza tonight and I realized it just made itself. I didn't think about it. Practice feels more intuitive.

Love,
Jacki

Good. That should help.

You must be relaxed.

You must be relaxed.

Sometimes you have to hear something a thousand times before it clicks, or you just have to be ready to really hear it.

True!

Hi Stacy,

A lot of confusion today. About what I don't know. Very caught up in thoughts, along with a migraine.
I think I may have relaxed too much and lost alertness and focus.

Sorry about the migraine.

Find your balance & resume when you can.

Loving,
