If you get run over by a car and seriously injured or if a family member dies (in the 3D world), if your daughter is raped and/or your son shot, how are you supposed to deny or jolly yourself out of that? It borders on delusion to believe the 3D world is the illusion and the imagination is true reality.
Agreed! There are those who believe that no matter what happens we are to always walk on the sunny side of the street. But unless you have been born with a silver spoon in your mouth your gonna run into some 3D walls, and it is going to cause major suffering. It can not be avoided. I tend to see suffering as a built in part of life. We experience some horrible times and we experience happy times. Neither is better or worse.Good luck. I believe positivity can work but have trouble remaining positive during life's trials and reversals. I'm not sure that I believe the 3D world is a hologram and the only reality is psychological.
Someone convince I am wrong about this.
I don't know. But I have trouble believing every bad thing that happens is somehow OUR fault because we are not thinking correctly. This is such a psychological strain. I believe bad things can happen to good people and random stuff can happen to anyone. I've had days that started out terrible and ended good and days that started out wonderful and ended awful. Maybe everybody has?
I certainly have, many times.. and it's always such a shock if the day starts out well and ends in a horrible situation.. usually if not always not my fault..so there's no way that I could have avoided the situation or prevented it..I don't know.

yes but is that really worse ?.. at least when you're dead there' no physical pain and no mental anguish
That definitely gives perspective but I have yet to feel less miserable, maybe have a some guilt added as well.
Good for you! I am the same way. I am making a 'game' out of it...and not just people, but things I do not like or might upset me I work at trying to see them all from a different angle. It's kind of fun..doesn't always work but is worth trying.
I know what you mean and I understand it is easy to be positive and philosophical when we are not in a trying situation. So I try to work on small situations in the hopes that when the bigger challenges come I can better handle them with some positivity. When my husband died I had to keep reminding myself at least he is now out of pain. Then I remind myself I do believe in life after life so there will be a great reunion in the skyGood luck.

This is something I have thought about too. It is suggested by some philosophies and some seem to make sense. Bad things do happen to good people and I question why. One theory is we are all ONE so perhaps we are helping carry out what someone else needs to overcome but does not have the strength. Another says our challenges are carryovers from previous lives..(not that I am sure we have previous lives.)I don't know. But I have trouble believing every bad thing that happens is somehow OUR fault because we are not thinking correctly. This is such a psychological strain.

I believe that too, but who knows? Perhaps we go to another dimension which has its own set of challenges
I have the book Happiness is a Choice front and center in one of my rooms..I believe it is a choice and we get there through our actions and words...and I think we are pretty much saying the same thing.
I like "renunciation" of negative/people thoughts. This works. but how does one LIVE in an imaginary world and were we meant to? Or, is the whole law of attraction a farce? Some aspects of it work for me like a miracle and very quickly but when it comes to concrete things like illness or finance I cannot argue with my 3D world. It's all very interesting and mind boggling at times.
Brilliant!
