MOD episodes have no shelf-life or expiration date.  Since our focus is principled and always happening now - each will always reflect the moving fluid nature of current events.

Consequences are immediate effects of a cause. Feelings are the body’s language.  What we think about what is happening is the  primary cause of our feelings. 

Observation is our present awareness and  as a reflection of what is happening it is not an opinion. Mental health is accurately thinking about what is happening - as it is happening - now.  Opinions about what is happening are about what we think not what is happening. To think we don’t like, want, or think what is happening should be happening has our thinking at odds with what is happening not the reverse. 

Thinking is never at odds with reality only itself and the self it is at odds with is who we wrongly think we become.  This simple twist in thought creates an impression that everything and everyone not allied with our thoughts is ready to attack us or is against us. 

When thoughts are thought of as reality and truth they seem permanent and intractable. Saying we are stuck in our thoughts or that they are intrusive and have the independent capacity to attack us is common.  This is simply an overt attempt to disclaim responsibility for what we are choosing to think.  This impossibility has life, the world and all its people appear difficult, complicated and impossible to confirm the false claim is cemented, or stuck, in reality.  Delusion cannot be stuck while it can be imagined to be within the limited confines of sick thoughts thinking only of them selves. 

It is only once we think thoughts are true that we think we become the creators of reality amd so thoughts seem stuck while it is our chronic attention that creates that sticky impression.  

There is no disharmony, discord or instability in our Absolute State of Knowing Awareness.  It is what we incorrectly think about our nature that is defective and primary to the disharmony and disturbances we suffer and write off, like any deduction, under the guise we call human nature. Our nature is not worthless or useless.  

We Are as We Are.  We are seldom if ever only as we think we are. Thinking is something we do so cannot be who we are. Thoughts are imagined they are not the creators of reality and truth. They are products of both. Thoughts are designed to express reality and truth. There is no fight for what is right anymore than there is a cost for freedom. Freedom is free as right is right neither require a fight.

Reality is unlimited and never changes. The idea that how and what we think creates reality suggests otherwise. Acting on backward thoughts leads to behaviors that are out of order reflecting a reversal of our natural fortune that are accurately called disorders. Anxious, nervous and systemic disorders reflect this impossible attempt to reverse Nature’s Law and Order and our Universe's Essence. Dis-ease is the lack of ease created and maintained by such twisted mental acrobatics. Stress and Anxiety inhibit healing and compound and degrade health.  

Mentality is a bodily function.  Mental disease is a physcial ailment. For as long as it is misdiagnosed - any cure or treatment will perpetuate its contagion.  

Principles affirm Our Indivisible nature. Sharing Principles confirms our natural indivisibility. Inspiration is natural while desperation, depression, degradation and acting oblivious to what is obvious is an unnatural choice to oppose reality which is impossible to accomplish though we are free to try.   

Ignoring what is happening, acting as though it shouldn't be or isn't happening, produces the unintelligible gibberish of ignorance - not reality.

This episode looks at childhood trauma, violence, racism, inequity, suppression, and oppression as an insane reaction to the internal struggle with obsessive thoughts trying desperately to turn our thoughts into reality and truth as we think we become only what we think.  

David and John have a history of fighting and though their backgrounds are diverse their stories are very similar.  We are looking for the morals in the stories rather than refining them as excuses to justify all that we think we have become, can be, or think we are.  

David and John have been featured in prior episodes. Their history and insight are also further described in their respective episode descriptions.  

We are going to continue these discussions so we can speak more openly about what is happening now and see if exploring the vastness of the present doesn't lead to an awareness that would otherwise seem unimaginable.

DECISION to act on principles: surrender of fight reveals peace. Faith in what is faith-full reveals what is full of greatness is our great-fullness.  


When thoughts are seen as thoughts we have them as they are and see them as something we do. To think of them as true is to think we become only what we think. The resulting devastation from this line of mistaken identity are historic and tragic.  

Decisions are based on desires that come with expectations. When we desire something faithful and trustworthy acting on it is full-filling.  Just as having trust in what is not trustworthy feels empty. The application of desire determines whether it is functional or dysfunctional - whether we feel fulfilled or empty - whether it aligns with reality or is a misaligned fantasy.   

Decisions are useless if they aren't applied.  Willingness without action is fantasy.  

Eligibility, Identity.  

Aligning thoughts with what is wrong allows doing something about what is wrong.  

Freedom from compulsive symptoms starts with admitting we have a problem. 

Reactive, impulsive, and compulsive behaviors are triggered by the defensive nature of obsessive thoughts busy trying to turn what is not true into truth.   

Emotional sobriety is not conflicted.  Insanity is delusion when thinking what we imagine is true.  Truth need not be thought of to be.  If sanity reflects or aligns with reality, truth, or any absolute nature - then sanity is our nature.  Any struggle with imagination devolves from imagining what we imagine is true and thus real. As makers of reality we think we are the creators of reality even as we call it our own - as though reality can be distinct, divisible, and apart from all others.  Opinions like thoughts and ego are only conflicted once we think they are true. Pain and Healing only occur in the present.  What is broken can only be fixed in the present and what is fixed can only appear broken by what is done in the present.

Our inquisition continues and has been an open exploration of basic tenets often presented without rebuttal.  It is clarifying to engage John's determination and is stimulating a greater awareness of this discussion's purpose and potential.  

John Perretti is a prior pugilist, painter, and poet.  He was a professor at the School of the Visual Arts in New York City, the co-creator of Extreme Fighting, and coined the term “Mixed Martial Arts.” He founded the gym Madison Avenue Muscle.  He also holds multiple world records for Free Dive Spearfishing and a would-have-been world record for a black marlin that had a bite taken out of its stomach by a bull shark while John held tight.  He continues to dedicate himself to the largely unexplored territory between the fine and the martial arts. 

John is a very long-time friend with an even longer resume than anyone I've known or met.  Our discussion continues to aim at the absolute nature of our existence and how our experience is constantly offering accurate awareness of what we are doing - no matter how much we protest or think we can fight.  

Below is a link to John's autobiography: "The Origin of a Species and the Mixed Martial Arts" so filled with dramatic experiences normally only found in great literature.

Knowing awareness is immediate since any thought’s limit can never exceed what is boundless.  What becomes always changes so is not now what it was at the beginning of this sentence. That which is not bound in time is neither bound nor limited by space. Our thinking’s awareness is only what we think and its permanence is the immediacy of its impermanent present ever changing limits. 

That we think is a given.  What we think about is a choice.  We are free to think whatever we like including what is wrong.  It is only when we think what we have concluded is right, when it is wrong, that the insufferable experience of obsessive thinking is manifest.  It is not an accident when we think we are not responsible for this experience that is seems to happen to us so the inconclusive obsessive conquest for answers goes on and on.  

Certainty and assurance are not based on doubt.  Our nature is natural and what is absolute does not wobble, shimmy, or shake.  If our basis is unchanging then it is what we do with limited thoughts that are always changing and impact our experience in favor or against our own best interest.  

We know We Know - We Are Aware We Are Aware,  Rest assured.

Decisions aligned with what is actually happening confirm the useful purpose of thoughts. To believe in what is not happening as all that is happening is to think that thinking about thinking creates reality and truth as immediately as we think we become only what we think.  . What is manifest in thought can feel real just as the imagery of a movie or dream can “capture" our imagination, emotions or reactions. What is born of thought is imagined, an image. Thoughts cannot condemn us though by opposing them we can create that impression.  Taking our-selves seriously is imagining thought thinking of it-self has a life of its own that is our-self.  Illusions thought to be real are delusions. The devastation of this inner through history reveals something is wrong.

Focusing on the effect of symptoms ignores causes.  Fixating on thought to repair what it is intent on breaking is impossible. The mental obsession is not a mystery.  The nature of addiction is to think all that we think is not the cause.  As a result trying to solve the effects, where enough is never enough, indicates addiction is thinking that the effect is the cause thus the problem.  

To think we need to stop what we’re doing while doing what we’re doing is to simultaneously think what is happening is not happening. Human functional capacity is crippled by turning the immediacy of all possibilities into the consuming nature of chronic conflict and instability in mental, emotional, and physical states. Obsessive thoughts are bent on trying to accomplish what cannot be done just as any lie only exists as long as thinking considers it will or even can come true. 

Sobriety is sanity. Emotional sobriety is sane living. There is nothing sane about defending the life of a bundle of thoughts we think are real and true and thus all we are.  Any problem with ego disappears once we concede it is imagined.  Obsessively thinking our sup-posed self can be saved from the effect of lying is to perpetuate the lie that it exists. This self-centered-in-thought tries to hide it is based in fear, for the fear of being "found out” is constant, while angels; the metaphoric or actual spiritual nature of being, do not tread into fantasy as reality since reality has no scarcity as it is all that IS. The folly of thought makes fools of us all - when all we think we are is what we think.  

Our discussion is not about stopping anything. Our thought-full focus is on what we are actually doing. There is no conflict in things as they are. The dissolution of triggering the fight of the addictive cycle frees us from imagined condemnation to see peace rather than disturbance in our actual nature.  Consideration is response-ability while the disturbing nature of reactiveness fights for more conflict. To see things as they are despite what we think melts the compelling urge to restart what we only imagine we struggle to stop.  And when or if for any seemingly compelling reason, we choose to restart the cycle - the impression it is all we can do will quickly fade. We always know better than to only think what is worse is our only choice.   

Speaking openly and honestly is the chance to see that what we share in the present confirms our shared presence. If we share what is absolute, absolutely, then seeing wrong only varies in the incorrect ideas we maintain. Our functional capacity and any dysfunctional tendencies occur on the same basis.

This joint effort again looks at the source of the problem and includes an answer to what is the solution. It is simple, but not always easy since we are capable of complicating what we think about what is happening.  If we can think what is happening shouldn't be happening we think it is possible to control what is happening with thought.  In fact, all that is ever happening is always happening so trying to intervene leads to mental and emotional instability.  

Few greater complications exist than to think what we think creates any reality whatsoever.  If Reality was in short supply it would not be real, nor would Truth be true if any space or distance could intercede. 

John and David have lived through intense circumstances where violence was common.  Their experiences hardened aspects of their thoughts yet both reveal an interest in coming to terms with the inner and outer conflict created by addictive thinking.  

Anthony met John a few years back at a men's retreat where my focused discussion was the mental obsession as the core illness of addiction.  Anthony calls regularly and today got the chance to discuss things openly in a smaller-than-usual group setting.

Sobriety is sanity.  Emotional sobriety is sane living.  Living as though we are only an image of thought - thought to be real and true - is insane.  Trying chronically to feel better about any mistaken idea is exactly what addiction tries but fails to do.  Addiction is a mental problem that leads to reactive, impulsive and compulsive behaviors. These are not accidents or curses but simultaneous consequences of how we choose to think. 

Thinking about thinking confirms what is thought not reality or truth. Turning fantasy into reality has never happened for the very good and simple reason it can't and won’t.  What we easily prove with this effort is that feeling empty, wanting and like an imposture are natural consequences.  This line of thinking develops many imagined inner selves each with a raised voice demanding to be heard with nothing to say.  Listen to the voices - in your head. Are they ever happy, supportive or generous when you feel like they’re happening to you? Much of what we say to our “self” we would never tolerate from anybody else. 

There are few if any greater impacts on our experience than how we think about what is happening. What is actually happening cannot compete with the intensity of inner conflict created while focusing obsessively on what is not happening as though it is all that is happening. 

Talking to ourselves is talking to our thoughts.  Thinking to ourselves is thinking about our thoughts. Thinking we are created by our thoughts is to imagine thinking creates the reality of existence.  Consciousness may be the source of existence but to think one brain is its source it a bit pompous. Thoughts are ideas, imagined, concepts.  The twisted idea thought creates reality is terrifying  “self-centered” fear since it means actual reality and truth do not exist and we are alone in the universe except for what we think. We would not feel this fear if this line of thinking was true so feeling fear is an indication we have a greater knowing awareness than we think - so we know better. 

 To think we can generate thought and oppose creates an impression that is naturally depressing the longer we continue.  Imagine thinking what we think is all we are then competing with every thought to prove that what is wrong is right. Taking a self that is only a thought thinking of itself seriously is a joke imagining there is a self to be taken anywhere. Thinking we can conclude whatever we want and that makes it right, is only laughable once seen honesty. Denial may conveniently have us think we have nothing to do with what is happening but the inconvenient part is that this is an argument in favor of not existing. 

Mentally obsessive thinking is a dis-ease and mental illness because it is not easy or healthy to bear.  Misdiagnosing any problem makes it worse as long as we repeatedly apply the same prescription.  This is commonly referred to as malpractice.  Addiction, overdoses, suicide, and mass homicidal rage are at record levels.  Continuing to use the same ideas that allowed these conditions to reach their epic numbers is to repeat the same idea as though it will someday get better and become true.  More insanity is a very unlikely cure for insanity. 

Thanks for listening and trying on what you hear - and your response-ability.
