What if?

Unknown userMember08 Mar 2018, 6:44 pm AEDT

What if?

I want to create a space where we can use our imaginations...

there are so many of us on here who are so very creative in so many remarkable ways...

I also believe that we are all intelligent in differing aspects of thinking

we support and show compassion to one another

many of us feel different...as though we don't fit in....don't belong...

is this really because of society's way of treating us....stigma...I am not diminishing in any way people's struggles...they are very real...

we have humour...

or is it another phenomena

what if:::

we have travelled here from another zone

we are here to observe the medical profession...I love this one...

we communicate with each other....in the real world?

which is our virtual world?

So what if

willing to add some thoughts? anyone?

Sooohhhhh anyone who wants to put forward an idea....add the far side....who is bored...

What if

I am just adding a few names .....not excluding anyone...just struggling to remember...

@CheerBear @outlander @Zoe7 @NameUnknown @Former-Member @Former-Member @eth @Mazarita @Former-Member@Silenus @Faith-and-Hope @PeppiPatty @Appleblossom @Former-Member @soul @Determined

@eudemonism @Friendconnect

please if joining in add names I have left out...Out of respect I have not included at this time those who are particularly struggling so as not to offend....

What if... The night Eude got really really scared because of the noises on his roof was an orchestrated hoax...?

Re: What if?

My neighbour loves that my cat scampers across a whole row of roofs. Just as well. What if he was not such a dirty flirty extrovert and people got cranky?

Nah try again. Apple.

I am not good at what ifs .. I can go in far away dreamy mode but the thought does not coalesce ...

what if its all alright.

@Silenus

Allowing ourselves to search and notice

the sound of our own voices

the way we walk

thew way we smile

the way we listen

the way we feel

the way we sense

the way we breathe

the inner self

is waiting for us

What if Eude when you heard the noises on the roof and felt scared you were dreaming..when you woke up the dream was so vivid that it felt real

What if society was perfect?
What if there was no hate or crime?
What if there was war?
What if there was no sickness?
What if there was peace in death?
What if there was no bullying?
What if there was no suicide?
What if there was no weapons?
What if there was world wide acceptance?
What if there was no poverty or rich?
What if the world was perfect?
Would we be happy?

Re: What if?

I'm here too @Former-Member @NameUnknown Sorry I misunderstood mohill, I thought you meant you wanted this thread to stay lighthearted ...........

What if my phobias are about things that really happen?

___________________________________________________

What if the stray cat and the wild possum that visit nightly really are my 'familiars' in a wiccan sense? And the noises on the roof just their way of letting me know they are watching over me.

"Familiars have been described as the alter-ego, spirit companion, or animal that aids a witch. The definition of a familiar may vary from person to person. Some believe that the familar is a projection of the self, others that it is a separate entity, and still others that it is a physical animal."

Not that I'd ever call myself a witch!

Re: What if?

What if... Everyone you have ever come across or will come across or is in your life... Who ever or whatever they maybe... Has, is and will do the wrong thing toward you...? Either in the mental, physical or spiritual realm...? What if... You think, feel and act like you need these people in your life... And don't know there ain't a better way...? What if... This true scenario is bringing you down and causing you stress...? What if... It has made you mentally ill...? Is making you mentally ill...? Or will make you mentally ill...? What if... These people who have done... Or do this... Or will do this too you...? Get a kick and a rush... A chemical high... An endorphin hit... A hormone hit... Through doing it...? What if... It gives them the appearance through societies eyes... A universal prospective... And bye the ways of the world... The sense of being happier, healthier, more at peace, more in control, more in charge, more dominant, more well off... More fortunate... More lucky... What if... You had a choice of who you wanted to be in this scenario...? What if... What I've just said... Is the truth.......? Eude. Stop getting pushed around bye enemy who is disguised as an ally (for their own benefits) ... Demand respect... And find the guilty bye standers who know both sides of the story... And start the cycle again...

Re: What if?

@eudemonism

what if

can help us if we feel safe enough to question life....

questioning our own circumstances is a sign of wanting to discover our true self...

listening to our own questions....thoughts in response and writing them down is a part of the journey in finding out more about our true selves..

having a good therapist with whom we trust can help us take this path..

we all have the right to find a doctor/therapist who listens and hears our needs...one whom we can trust..
