TRANSCRIPT

Her: “I’m testing the boundaries at the moment. I’m working with another teacher who you know, and just before I made an offer on this MasterClass, I had a session with her, and she had tested me and said, “Okay. Well, what do you feel comfortable offering?” kind of thing, and I felt like I handled it quite well. But I really struggled when it came to yours because there was nobody holding my hand, but I pushed myself with it as well. You were like, “Offer what’s true.” and I sat there with it and then I felt for my edges and I got to this point and I was like, “Oh, my God. I’m gonna do this thing on top of this other thing. I just did that and then I’m gonna do this”. And I was like but this is the only thing that feels right. Like I can’t, I couldn’t offer you anything else. There was nothing else I could give you that would be true. And I was just like okay, this is where I gotta go.”

Mandy Bites On In/Sanity

BOOK THE CUT

🧮

  1. Batshit sane.

  2. I don’t care about bridging our divide. I care about bridging my own.

  3. Almost no one wants to go all the way.

  4. The saner you are, the more insane you (and they) appear.

  5. How do you know you're insane? You want this moment, this situation, this person to be different.

  6. It’s all your own (un)doing.

  7. Stop interacting with it as if it's real.

  8. He’s caught in the delusion he’s at the mercy of his beast.

  9. When you’re attached to form, you suffer. When you’re devoted to truth, you fly.

  10. It’s the inability to withstand the intense aliveness of being that drives the impulse to dilute or run from it, just as the inability to withstand it drives the impulse to seek that same jolt of aliveness through superficial means.

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

  12. You can’t reason with insanity.

  13. Love doesn’t enable dysfunction.

  14. Sanity is the new black.

  15. The line between truth and delusion is imperceptible to most.

  16. Human: runs from the present / dwells on the non-existent past / fears the illusory future / perpetually resists what IS (and suffers because of it) / consistently holds back truth / avoids making the true move / believes things, others, and life need(s) to be a certain way in order to feel okay / creates and then lives within endless, baseless, utterly insane stories / denies its sovereignty / blames the world and others and pretends to be a victim / takes zero responsibility for the creation and quality of its own experience / looks out instead of in… | Being: “And you wonder why you feel like shit?”

Mandy Bites On Self-Abandonment

BOOK THE CUT

🧮

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

  2. The more you self-abandon, the more symptomatic you become.

  3. All you’re doing with all that doing is dancing around your own fire.

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

  5. Your habitual state is not your natural state.

  6. It’s all your own (un)doing.

  7. 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.

  8. To blame the ‘narcissist’ for ‘manipulating’ you into ignoring that initial gut feeling and your brilliant inner knowing is completely absurd.

  9. Why are you mad at them for your choice to betray yourself?

  10. Your system inevitably screams NO when you've ignored its multiple whispers.

  11. “Things were never the same after that.” After you stayed when you should have left.

  12. If you do it ‘for’ or ‘because’, it's not IT.

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

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

  15. It all goes out the window in the face of what is.

  16. It’s the inability to withstand the intense aliveness of being that drives the impulse to dilute or run from it, just as the inability to withstand it drives the impulse to seek that same jolt of aliveness through superficial means.

  17. We only feel the need to ‘escape’ when we’re existing unnaturally.

  18. It hurts so you can learn how to not do that shit that hurts you.

  19. Regardless of the ‘issue’, it’s about your relationship to power.

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

  21. You only need to 'cope' when you choose to leave home.

  22. You want to leave because you’ve yet to fully own YOU. And there’s no greater pain than that.

  23. One must abandon themselves in the attempt to fill through external means what can only be satisfied internally through learning how to not self-abandon in the first place.

  24. What's a little more poison when you're already sick?

  25. You want to be chosen without choosing yourself.

  26. Living inside a NO is one of the helliest hells there is.

  27. It's you putting things in your own way.

  28. Approval-seeking aka self-rejecting.

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

  30. You get what you say yes to. And all the shit that brings.

  31. Your deepest, most excrutiating pain comes from one thing only.

  32. You lied to yourself before (and more than) they ever lied to you.

  33. Life will force the expansion you’re not willing to take on your own.

  34. You do what you’re told by them. I do what I’m told by me.

  35. You think it’s too risky to be wild. So you’d rather play dead to stay ‘safe’.

  36. The powerless surrender to illusion. The powerful submit to truth.

  37. Your level of pain is equal to your level of resistance. To your genius. To your power. To truth.

  38. You are the only remedy for your suffering.

  39. Waiting on God is waiting on you.

  40. When you deny yourself, you deny God itself. #samething

  41. Obligation is self-imposed.

  42. Follow yourself. Unfollow the rest.

  43. When you aim, you miss.

  44. Stop leaving here to go 'there' and the ‘problem’ dissolves.

  45. You created X when you disowned the truth. When you own the truth, X disappears.

  46. Their maps can’t take you HOME.

  47. Don’t look to me for how to be. You already know what to do.

  48. You’re not at the mercy of the planets.

  49. How to successfully human: 1. Honour external commitments. 2. Ignore internal commands.

  50. Stop buying into your own bullshit and you’ll be just fine.

  14. You use and teach tools and processes because you don’t trust yourself enough to go rogue.

  15. Why would you put the mentally ill (human) in charge of your life?

  16. The real ‘no contact’ is with the abuser in your head.

  17. Thoughts don't create distortions. They are an extension of them.

  18. Thoughts don’t create reality. You do. And you are not your thoughts.

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

  20. Don’t mind me. I’m just freebasing life.

  21. Do it in your head = head game. Do it for real = game over.

  22. “WhY iS tHiS pErSoN wHo sHoWeD mE riGhT fRoM tHe sTaRt tHaT tHeY aiN’t riGhT iN tHe hEaD… nOt aCtiNg riGhT?”

  23. If you care more about what they think than you do about what’s true, you’re in a prison of your own design.

The Noise Within The One (An Essay)

There is the ‘me’ (and the ‘you’) that dips into illusion / delusion / perceived separation / a temporary state of fear and insanity (looking at life / self / others through the limited / distorted human lens).

And the ME (and the YOU) that exists in actual reality.

In sanity / union / peace / clarity / purity / potent power.

In REAL love (not the human kind).

With nothing in the way.

It’s not one or the other though.

The other is part of THE ONE.

That noisy ‘me’ is part of ME.

That noisy ‘you’ — part of YOU.

Every part is part of THE EVERYTHING.

So it belongs and it’s not wrong.

It’s here to be seen and then seen through, of course.

Until it’s quiet once again.

Nothing Is Wrong (An Essay)

Nothing is intrinsically ‘wrong’.

Never has been.

Never will be.

Not with you.

Not with life.

Not with the moment.

Not with the other.

THAT is the starting point.

And…

that acceptance of what is as it is right now,

without a skewed lens applied to it,

doesn’t mean you condone a thing.

And it doesn’t mean you passively participate in life because ‘it is what it is’, either.

It just means you see clearly and you move accordingly without the internal resistance to what is.

Mandy Bites On The System

BOOK THE CUT

🧮

  1. The energy of ‘fighting against’ is more disruptive and detrimental to your system than the thing you’re fighting against.

  2. When you’ve deviated from the truth and natural movements of your being (a complete betrayal to your system), the only way to live with that internal split is to distract yourself with self-created 'issues’ that would not exist (and ultimately don't) had you remained in your power (your natural state) in the first place.

  3. When you’ve got nothing to prove and nothing to lose, you’re dangerous. And free.

  4. A system knows nothing beyond itself.

  5. If you’re creating a system to counter the system… Need I say more?

  6. Anti is still pro.

  7. If you’re in a container, you’re being contained.

  8. Your habitual state is not your natural state.

  9. Normal isn’t natural.

  10. Parameters keep you caged; not safe.

  11. They’re not against you just because they’re for themselves.

Mandy Bites on The IT

BOOK THE CUT

🧮

  1. You want the experience of IT. Not the ‘it’ itself.

  2. If you do it ‘for’ or ‘because’, it's not IT.

  3. When nothing can stop you, that’s IT.

  4. When IT happens, it’s not ‘OH MY GOD!’ It’s ‘of course.’

  5. You question it because it's not IT.

  6. Your story about it is not the truth of IT.

  7. I don’t create. I stay out of the way. IT is created through me.

  8. It’s supposed to feel like this → ☁️ ☁️ ☁️

  9. You can’t ‘will’ / ‘pray’ / ‘affirm’ IT into being. You can only recognize that you are IT already. And make your moves from there.

  10. Self-love is better than self-hate, but being free of yourself is where IT’s at.

  11. Taking care of THIS automatically takes care of that.

  12. THIS or nothing + THIS because there’s nothing.

  13. When you'd rather have nothing than whatever this is, so begins the freefall to IT.

  14. Others can point to IT. Be a demonstration of IT (at best). But the IT you seek comes from one thing only. (THIS)

  15. The part of you that’s searching for IT, is the reason you can’t find IT.

  16. You already know when you’re HOME. And when you’re ‘lost’, you search for IT externally.

  17. You don’t have to talk about it when you are IT.

  18. Wherever you are is where IT's at.

  19. What’s not IT always leads to IT.

  20. ALL of it is IT.

  21. You get what you say YES to. So don’t say YES to a thing. Keep saying NO to all that’s not IT. A living dream is all that remains.

  22. If it needs to be managed, it’s not IT.

  23. IT will remain illusive until the only door left is you.

  24. If you only have it because you’re holding on, you don’t have IT. It has you.

  25. You don’t discover, rediscover, ever lose or find IT.

  26. You don’t have it? You don’t need it. When you need it, it will come.

  27. You already have and are IT, even if and when you’re not experiencing IT.

  28. When you get to the very bottom / core / depths and truth of IT, it’s so simple, obvious, clear.

  29. Need is why you don’t get IT. And… Need is why you don’t ‘get’ IT. If you catch my cryptic drift.

  30. The world; she owns. By IT; she’s owned.

  31. To the energy within, she freely submits.

  32. IT’s here when you are.

  33. Instead of being THIS, you aim for that. When being THIS is where IT’s at.

  34. If you’re searching, you’re not ready. When you’re ready, IT is here.

  35. anchored and untethered
