Mandy Bites on The Other

SCHEDULE THE ELITE RETWEAK

🧮

  1. Others aren’t distracting you. You’re using others to distract yourself.

  2. It’s not my job to wake people up. It’s my job to be, and remain, awake. Regardless of who’s sleeping.

  3. Exhaustion comes from self-abandonment (a lack of integrity) while dealing with other people; not from dealing with other people.

  4. Most would rather have another cater / adapt to their dysfunction(s) / delusion(s) than to do the work necessary to correct it themselves.

  5. You're not special. Your story's not special. You're a living god like everyone else.

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

  7. “I’m just following orders. Take it up with the Lord.” How to respond when people question your moves.

  8. True 'justice' is reclaiming your power from everything and everyone you gave it to.

  9. The true move does what needs to be done. Across the board. With everyone.

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

  11. The absurdity of caring what another thinks of you.

  12. If someone cares what you think of them, or what anybody thinks of them, they cannot be honest with you or them.

  13. You create your art. People enter it as they wish. They take what they need. But the creation was for you.

  14. You demonize another to justify your perpetually ignored NO.

  15. You have access to all of it. No more and no less than anyone else.

  16. My work is not for everyone. It’s barely for anyone. But for those whom it was made, nothing else will do.

  17. It’s funny to me that people attribute / thank Jesus / God for them getting the things they want. But rarely, if ever, for the things they don’t.

  18. When you take away the artificial buffer(s), there's a high chance that someone's gonna split.

  19. It’s no one’s job to keep you stable. It’s your job to contend with your own instability.

  20. A ‘king of the people’ speaks directly to the codependent hearts of the (m)asses.

  21. If you choose something or someone over yourself, you're gonna have a hard time.

  22. If it affects you, it's for you.

  23. The other isn't the reason that you deviate from YOU. The other is the excuse you use to abandon what is true.

  24. I don’t ‘support’ anyone. They’re powerful. They’re grown. And wired to live from truth.

  25. Resentment is using another to keep yourself bound and then blaming them for why you’re not free.

  26. The need to trust another reflects your inability to trust yourself.

  27. Too many people have tamed their beast. An animal isn’t meant to be caged.

  28. When you stop going to others for answers, you start to access your own.

  29. People see me when they’re ready to see themselves.

  30. Stop making people your God.

  31. Everyone’s a genius. Very few express it. Everyone’s a god. Very few recall.

  32. All couples have problems. All people who look outside of themselves for something / anything have problems.

  33. You don't owe anyone a thing.

  34. Don't aim to help others. Master yourself. This 'helps' them most of all.

  35. He has to die to be with me. As does anyone else.

  36. Money doesn’t come from other people. It comes from you, through other people.

  37. What I want cannot be bought. Nor found within another.

  38. The other’s moves are what you point to and use, to justify your inability to harness your power.

  39. You can't teach another how to be themselves.

  40. You praise and condemn others for what is most active in you.

  41. You don’t need to ‘humble’ yourself or another. Life will do that for you.

  42. Withholding truth is still untrue. It’s just another form of deceit.

  43. By the time you say to yourself or another, “This is the last time (…)”, you have already bypassed your NO, relinquished your power, and ignored that moment of knowing.

  44. People ‘love’ you more when you suffer. Let that shit sink in.

  45. When someone is free, they appear narcissistic to those still bound by themselves.

  46. Being with someone ugly steals your pretty.

  47. The 'narcissist' and his so-called 'prey' are equally sick and addicted.

  48. The ‘narcissist’ sticks around until you stop blaming another for what you’re doing to yourself.

  49. If you weren't trying to outsource from another what you can only provide for yourself, you would not have ended up in something that hurts you.

  50. Someone 'coming into power' is not a defining line on the timeline any more than a falling leaf is.

  51. Once you hold yourself accountable, you won’t demand that of another.

  52. Everything and everyone is held to account.

  53. "Oh, look! Another way to avoid myself!" Humans

  54. It's not one or the other. The other is part of The One.

  55. The ‘disorder’ dissolves once you do for yourself what you’re trying to do through the other.

  56. ‘Personality Disorder’: Seeing self / life / others through a temporarily distorted lens.

  57. You enable another's dysfunction by trying to deal with it at all.

  58. Loyal to truth; not the other.

  59. I won't abandon myself for another. No one is worth that transgression.

  60. It is only through your own delusion of powerlessness that you presume others are also without power.

  61. It is not real love unless and until you have zero need / expectation / desire for the other to be different in any way.

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

  63. The concept of forgiveness is just as absurd as one human granting it to another.

  64. You only point at others when you’ve turned against yourself.

  65. Why would you want anything other than what already is?

  66. when you refuse to deviate from yourself / for anything / for anyone / at any time / then… / you live / your life / as a god

  67. Your willingness and capacity to suffer with and for another, is not love (for yourself or for the other).

  68. The human thinks one thing. The being knows another.

  69. It's never about the illusory other.

  70. #erectionsforeveryone

Breakthroughs Aren't Enough (An Essay)

Just like you wouldn’t expect one meal to satiate you for a week,

or one shower to keep you clean for a month,

or one workout to keep you fit for life,

or one deep clean of your place to magically make it so that you never need to clean again,

you can’t expect the inner work to take care of itself once-and-for-all just because you had some sort of breakthrough.

It’s a progressive cleaning up.

And you can’t get to the maintenance part until you’ve dealt with all the accumulation.

So yes, it gets ‘easier’ as you chip away at all that you’re not,

but you will never reach a point where you’re done the work and are good-to-go for life.

The work is done for life.

Because there are always more ways and more opportunities to sharpen, to deepen, to expand, to refine.

About That Coldplay Moment (An Essay)

Posted by a friend on Facebook:

“You have to wonder why the demise of two families at a Coldplay concert is shared more than the tragedies going on around the world. Such a sad state of the world.”

Her friend chimes in:

“I agree 100%. I also don't find anything funny about it. People's lives have been destroyed by this, and its being treated like a joke?”

My take:

Exposing truth doesn’t destroy families.

It liberates everyone involved.

It was the hiding that was destructive.

Now each person is free to choose.

Also,

everyone laughed because it was comedy gold.

Duh.

It was a moment in time that brought everyone together.

So rare.

Whereas “tragedies going on around the world” are happening 24/7/365.

The comparison is silly.

People Aren't Here To Understand You (An Essay)

People aren’t here to understand you.

Nor are you here to be understood.

This doesn’t mean you aren’t, or can’t be, understood.

But it’s not required.

And…

it’s impossible to be fully understood

and seen

by another anyways.

(with one exception)

Slivers?

Absolutely.

The entirety?

Absolutely not.

Not only because most people can’t see straight in the first place,

(their view is skewed by conditioning, filters, judgments, the mind, desires, and other distortions that make it impossible to see themselves, let alone life, the moment or another, purely and accurately, so they have no choice but to view you through the limited lens of themselves)

but also because we are all moving and evolving constellations.

Your loved one may understand this moment’s iteration of you and not the next.

They may be open to you today and closed off to you tomorrow for reasons that have nothing to do with you.

So to base your experience of being / feeling loved on…

being understood by another,

feeling seen by another,

having another human show up in a particular way that hits the spot just right,

on another human at all,

is to put unnecessary weight onto something that isn’t required in the first place.

You don’t need to be understood.

And it’s wonderful when you are.

And…

by the time you don’t actually care about being seen or understood,

and you *are* seen and understood,

it doesn’t impact a thing.

Because it makes no difference at all.

How Wars Begin (An Essay)

The ‘state of the world’ is an accurate and perfect out-picturing of the individual’s war within.

So to be surprised by anything going on ‘out there’, especially when you’ve yet to contend with what’s going on ‘in here’, is kind of silly.

How could you expect or want peace in the world if you can’t even generate it inside yourself?

It starts and ends with you, boo.

It starts and ends with me, too.

But also,

there is no start and there is no end.

There is only what IS for infinity.

And if you’re fighting the is-ness of life,

or of yourself,

or of another…

then surprise, bitch.

That’s how wars begin.

Don't Get Tricked By The Flashing Lights (An Essay)

“We’ve only just begun.”

“Now more than ever…”

“In these challenging times…”

No.

The same shit has been going on, and will continue to go on, for eons.

There is nothing new or groundbreaking or ‘worse than before’ happening.

Except to you / your mind / that mission-based and externals-believing self.

The ‘new’ that you perceive is your own increased awareness.

The lens getting clearer.

You’re seeing through more and more and it feels revolutionary,

(and you position it as such)

but it’s not.

It just is.

And it was before you,

and it will be after you.

The truth has been here this whole time.

The Energetics of Dysfunction (An Essay)

When you deliberately play at the energetic level,

when you see beyond the veil and make your moves from there,

you have the ability to look at all things / situations / dynamics retroactively - before you caught on to what you always knew - and you understand exactly what was going on.

You can pinpoint exactly when and why you or another deviated from truth and the natural / inevitable consequences of that choice.

Everything makes sense.

And when you ‘get’ the ‘energetics of dysfunction’ as it were,

that generate and and keep any toxic / twisted system / dynamic in place (which at the most fundamental level is just the deviation from truth),

you can no longer be surprised by anything that happens in the world / between humans / at an individual level.

Because it’s all the same.

And it’s a given that things would unfold as they did and do based on the black and whiteness of energetic truth.

If You Really Love Me (An Essay)

Most would rather have another cater / adapt to their dysfunction(s) / delusion(s) than to do the work necessary to correct it themselves.

And most would rather do that for another,

to avoid their own discomfort

of having to take that same level of responsibility

for their own deficiencies.

The Diagnosis (An Essay)

The ‘thing’ about a diagnosis / label…

is that it’s a thing.

Which exists only 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.

Free of the need to attach meaning to things.

And free of the necessity to label such things.

Sharp; Not Soft (An Essay)

I do the opposite of what they say to do

With a man

As a woman

Whatever the fuck that means

I am sharp

Not soft (and I am — very)

I challenge everything

Until there’s nothing

(an inside job — read more)

And as he’s said…

I’m relentless

Unyielding

Exacting

Demanding

Militant

Trenchant

Mercurial

And yet…

He’s still here

Right here

Closer than most will ever be (his words)

To me

To themselves

To heaven

To another

Precisely because I do the opposite of what they say to do

With a man

As a woman

Whatever the fuck that means

Why would I be less me for anybody?

The more me, the better

For everybody

Doing The Blessed Thing (An Essay)

you would never…

have to talk about your relationship

have issues in your relationship

have to work on your relationship

#workingonitneverworks

if you were both in complete integrity

and fully in your power already

#relationshipgoalsamiright

you’d just be in your relationship

doing the blessed thing

the most natural thing in the world

#loveiswhoyouare

‘problems’ only arise because you haven’t been speaking / living / being truth

you haven’t been taking full responsibility for your side of the court

you have been looking to

and waiting on

the other for something that’s not theirs to give

and that accumulation of bullshit creates ‘problems’

as it should and as it must

not because ‘all couples have problems’

but because ‘all people who aren’t living in integrity and look outside of themselves for something / anything’ — have problems
