I finally understand my life! So bye!

[Bliss Sage]

Well, after a thoroughly confusing year on this website, I have finally figured out and understand my life after watching my brother's 11-year-old daughter have fun making Sims (the little computer game people) cheat on each other, abuse each other, verbally and physically, engage in violent cloud fights, live outside with furniture in the middle of the grass, trap Sims inside tiny, dark, empty doorless rooms, with no floors, with no food, no toilet, no chair or no anything, until they drop dead, or she otherwise tortures and/or kills them.

It turns out all of you are wrong! -

God is an 11-year-old girl entertaining herself by playing with my life! This is my conclusion! I won't say my time on this site has been "real"--on the contrary! It's been perplexing, confusing and surreal at the best of times, with an endless march of PD contradictions (to top them all, a quote from a book I wasted my money on by Joe Vitale "affirmations, visualizations, intentions, body awareness methods, feeling the end result, scripting, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) or tapping, and many many more...are toys your mind plays with to keep you thinking you're in charge. The truth is, you are not in charge" and I have read more bizarre stories on this site than I ever dreamt could be written, while simultaneously being expected to already have understood them as truth (and even expected to understand them period is a stretch). Meanwhile, there is a girl behind me laughing because she managed to kill a few more Sims. Why ought one bizarre life scenario to seem more sensible than the other?

So...bye, I'm going to seek out people and things and values that are more in line with my mentality and my heart, like poetry, fairytales, teddy bears, Muppets, Swedenborg, Jesus Christ, love, compassion, morality and that which I most lost and missed on this site, conscience, above all conscience. Thanks for the bits of advice which I managed to understand and thanks for the EFT which, as "PD guru" Joe Vitale implies, has deluded me into believing I have obtained some power to finally manage my emotions and given me some ability to surmount my very old deep-seated, devastating emotional wounds which the 11-year-old God-girl inflicted on me and continues to inflict on me as she plays her game

If you think god is playing with you, become boring. The best way to deal with a bully is to not let him enjoy it.

Anyway, good luck with whatever you undertake.

What I've experienced here in these forums is that it's a fabulous place for people who are interested in being in love with their lives to generate and affirm their vitality, test tools for achieving a life they love, support each other in their efforts to LALTL, and celebrate each other's wins in LALTL.

I think it's natural that, if you're not interested in living a life you love -- if you are committed to arguing against generating freedom, love, and joy -- there's not a whole lot here for you except irritation and confusion. Sometimes irritation and confusion stimulates growth, like a pearl, and sometimes it's just a pain in the ass. When you're having an experience that's nothing but a pain in the ass, it makes sense to me to move on to an experience in which you can flourish.

So best wishes to you in your efforts to flourish (or whatever else you're committed to). I hope you get everything you want.

Lots of love,
Angela

I hope you find what you are looking for. Muppets and poetry are right up my alley and I've got a long history with JC, so if you ever want to come back and have a chat...

Bliss Sage, do you honestly beleive, that there's only one little girl "behind the scenes", and no one else? Maybe there's someone else watching you, as you watched Sims? Watching, seeing your pain, beholding... Thinking if you're real and if there's a point in helping you by telling that girl "stop it!" (You could end their suffering btw )

Now imagine someone, who hacked the game, (maybe characters themselves?), and now Sims characters can talk to a player. Imagine they can transcend the game and appear in your world. Have you ever considered this opportunity for yourself?

I recommend you to read "Gamearth" by Kevin James Anderson.

There's a wide choise of PD tools. "Affirmations, visualizations, intentions" and so on are only parts of the whole toolbox, it also contains planning, organizing, time management, self-discipline... Maybe you should try these, more mundane tools?

Bliss - I hope you find yours! good luck!

That's the spirit! Never stop searching, because no matter what you believe, you will never fully understand it. That's the mystery and wonder of 3D.

Just don't burn too many bridges... it's always good to keep your option open.
Best of luck on your journey!

Bliss, you know that you're welcome if some day you decide to come back

Best wishes to you.

Love.

[Bliss Sage]

Thanks for all the good wishes, I didn't think anyone would even see this . After this message to Angela, I will need a significant break .

Angela, harsh and unkind as usual. If you're so happy, Angela, you could surely afford to have a lot more kindness, patience, humility and understanding in your heart when trying to "help" people. What is your problem that you have to write in that tone and using phrases like "pain in the ass"?? This is not your life, it's mine, what right have you to be annoyed at me if I'm not responding to your advice the way you want me to? You cannot think that just because you write things with the "impersonal you" that the subtext does not glare through.

You may have helped a lot of people who have been in states where they don't notice or take note of your harshness and I'm glad for them, but it's like I said before, people are not mass produced objects that you can universally apply your generic "help" approach to and think it's going to sit well with everyone. Either you want to help or you want to cling to your ways and your agenda. Like I said before, you have no idea who I am, you have no idea what my situation is or what or where I am coming from in life, or where I'm going, you have no clue what I refer to when I say it's been confusing on this website, you don't listen, you don't ask and you don't seek to understand--you merely judge me harshly on the basis of no real information or understanding whatsoever, as if you want first and foremost to confirm the worst about me. Maybe you find it helpful to me to imply that I have committed myself to arguing against generating freedom--how on earth could you possibly have any idea what I am committed to?! And how could you possibly know if my experience on this website has been a "pain in the ass"?! Did I say that?? How could you possibly know any of the things about me that you imply in that condemning paragraph? You can't and you don't, yet you choose to write it anyway, instead of writing something positive or kind, or instead of asking me and seeking understanding and clarification about what I wrote. You choose to judge wrongly and write unkind things--why??

I don't think you really want to help people for the sake of helping, I think you actually have a different personal agenda that is served by all the advice and helping you do, because you do not behave like someone who sincerely wants to help.

I'm off to less serious, more uplifting (even if also more childish), less intellectually demanding cyber pastures for the time-being .

Bye bye and à la prochaine

Bliss Sage, if you are still here -- you sure are right! It's not difficult for me to see "harsh and unkind" in myself at all. Also "having an agenda other than helping people" -- once again, you are right on with that. Thank you for pointing those things out.

I hope you know that I'm not criticizing you; I'm agreeing with you! You declared that this forum is confusing, perplexing, surreal, delusional, and all of us are wrong. Please forgive me for using the phrase, "pain in the ass"; I am projecting when I say that I would find a place like that to be a pain in the ass (for me that place would be your world of poetry, fairytales, teddy bears, and Muppets -- I'm okay with Swedenborg, though -- each to her own pain in the ass!) Why would anyone want to remain in a place of ass-pain? Not me! I'm with you 100% -- like you, I'm not willing to remain in a situation that gives (or supports) pain! Eeyuck to that! I totally support you in saying farewell and to finding a support system that works better for you.

Pardon me for implying that you are committed to your pain, even though I can't possibly know you and everything that you've been through. I don't judge you for that; on the contrary, your words have been the lens through which I've confronted some of my own old pain, and I thank you for that. It's absolutely perfect for me that you insist on viewing the world as a universe ruled by your despotic 11-year old niece, a child-tyrant intent on inflicting abuse, cheating, fights, homelessness, toiletlessness, torture, and death. A harsh and unkind Angela fits right in with that worldview, doesn't she? I'm happy to reflect that for you, and grateful for what you have reflected for me. I believe you and I have been perfect mirrors for each other, and I'm very thankful for our communications together.

And you are so right about my agenda. People don't need my help, they are just fine without me. Helping people is not my purpose; living a life I'm in love with is my purpose. Letting go of what I don't need, and generating what will make a difference -- those are my aims in life. Only occasionally am I entirely successful. I'm sorry if I've been bossy about those things; they are two elements that I have found absolutely necessary for LALIL, and you have helped me to understand that I must continually let go of "needing" others to live that way. Again, thank you so much for that. I wish for you to live in accordance with works for you, not what works for me. Best wishes to you in that; I send you off with only love and gratitude.

Allez de pair avec les muppets! and if you are stricken by l'esprit de escalier, I hope that you will come back and obtenez ma prochaine chevre!
