MOD episodes have no shelf-life or expiration date. Our focus is principled - always happening now - so each episode reflects the fluidity and immediacy of the current events we share.
Sobriety is sanity from any compulsion. Emotional sobriety is living sanely.
Selfish, self-centered, self-serving ideas are thoughts. Thinking about thinking creates more thoughts. Thinking about thinking itself does not create our self as anything other than what is imagined, in thought. Thoughts serving thoughts create fear once we think we become their reality they seem to become our master. We know better so acting otherwise we feel afraid. Thinking we’ve been reduced to only what we think is Insane. Insanity never thinks it’s insane. Guilt and shame are byproducts of this imagined master as we bear like slaves “its” unbending rule - as though our chance and choice to dream is reality. To think Life becomes impossible because we choose to believe in impossible ideas reinforce the idea we have nothing to do with obsessive thoughts. We can think whatever we want. Trying to feel better or get over any disturbance treats the effect by thinking that avoiding the cause is possible. Ignoring disease is not a cure but a guarantee it will get worse.
When thinking is imagined to be reality the defensiveness to be right is an automatic fight for what is wrong. It is the present thought - that triggers obsessive thinking NOW. There is nothing to stop when of obsessive thinking is seen clearly. Feeling confused disappears as it becomes obvious we have absolutely no obligation whatsoever to continue. We know what we are doing or would not feel bad or wrong. We would not be ashamed if all we could do was the same thing over and over again while watching things get worse.

Ovid’s story of Narcissus is over two thousand years old. Briefly: Narcissus fell in love with his image as his reality. This meant he could not love or care for anyone else or attend to his basic needs. So he starved to death along with others like Echo who died by their own hand for their unrequited love for him. In both cases, love’s ideal was perverted. This story is told by anyone and everyone who thinks they are or their "reality" is only a thought’s image of itself. Obsessive thoughts are narcissistic. Our image is an image just as our thoughts are thoughts. Neither determine reality nor are products of real possibilities.

Self-centered thinking has been occurring as long as righteous indignation has ignited hatred to justify suppressing, oppressing, or killing people for how they think or appear. For as long as thoughts are considered reality appearances and what others think are blindingly magnifie

The Mental Obsession Discussion:
We Know We Know.
We Are Aware We Are Aware.
We Are as We Are.
Reality is unlimited. Nothing can be added or subtracted to or from It. The idea that how and what we think creates reality suggests otherwise. Acting on such backward thoughts leads to behaviors that are out of order. Anxious and systemic disorders reflect this impossible attempt to reverse the Laws of the universe that govern nature’s order. Disease is the lack of ease created and maintained by such twisted mental gymnastics.
Sharing principles affirms and confirms our indivisibility. We can choose desperation while our unchanging essence remains inspired.
Moments of clarity are like sparks of enlightenment revealing the Ever Present Shadowless Knowing Light of Inspiration’s Intuitive Wisdom aptly called brilliance, bright, and radiant. Intelligence expresses our knowing nature. Ignoring what is happening produces unintelligible ignorance - not reality.
