Get Comfortable with Yourself


Get Comfortable with Yourself

The Key to Simplicity

By Leo Babauta

Posted on August 30, 2025


There’s a great quote from Blaise Pascal that goes, “All of humanity’s problems stem from man’s inability to sit quietly in a room alone.”

I believe there’s a lot of truth in that. And I believe that in this quote lies the key to living a simple life. Hear me out!

What Happens If You Can’t Sit Alone

Let’s first talk about how the quote is true …

If you are unable to sit quietly in a room alone, then we can imagine:

  • You’ll always need to be entertained, distracted, busy — which is why many people are addicted to distraction, their phones, and busyness.
  • If you’re having stress or unhappiness, you’ll need to numb yourself out, because your feelings of sadness or stress will be too uncomfortable to handle.
  • You’ll need to find ways to get pleasure externally — from online shopping, video games, watching TV or videos, social media, food, drugs, alcohol, etc.
  • Because of all of the above, you’ll likely be spending too much money and have difficulty with finances; your health might be worse; your life will be overwhelming.

I think whole books could be written on the kind of life that this would lead to, but I’m hoping you get the idea by now.

The Simplicity of Being Comfortable with Yourself

So now let’s imagine you developed the capacity to be alone with yourself and be comfortable. What would result from that?

Simplicity.

Here’s what I’ve noticed happens if you can become comfortable being alone in quiet:

  • You don’t need very much — no need for a bunch of possessions, shopping, fancy things.
  • You don’t need to be entertained all the time, so life can be simpler.
  • You are more content, less in need of comforting (not that comfort is a bad thing).
  • You’re better at emotionally regulating yourself when things are chaotic, which keeps things at a simpler, more even keel.

Life just becomes simpler when you develop this capacity.

How to Learn to Be Comfortable with Yourself

This capacity comes with practice. And the practice can be fairly simple (though not always comfortable).

Here’s how you can practice:

  • Spend a little time each day on your own, without technology or distractions. Think of this as meditative time.
  • Notice your discomfort or urge to do something productive, distracting, entertaining.
  • Take a few breaths when this discomfort comes up. Let yourself stay in it for a minute. See if you can relax a bit.
  • Ask yourself if there’s anything in this moment that you can be curious about. Anything fascinating, anything to learn, anything to be grateful for? Find wonder and play and joy in a moment like this.
  • Give yourself time to reflect on your life, meditatively. If any bad feelings about yourself come up, let yourself breathe through that, and give yourself some compassion. Reflect on the thoughts that come up that make you feel bad about yourself, and investigate and question them.

Over time, you can grow more comfortable sitting with yourself. You might get bored, which is OK too — let yourself experience boredom!

But you can also find ways to entertain yourself. Reflect on what you’re grateful for. Reflect on your deeper purpose. Reflect on your learnings. Play games with yourself. Tell yourself stories. Let yourself play.

By the way, you don’t always have to sit in stillness. I think it’s useful to sit in stillness, but going for a walk with no purpose, or doing a little movement around the room, or some stretching, can all be a part of your practice.

What kind of simplicity would you like in your life? How might this practice help create that for you?

Multidimensionality, Simplicity And Complexity

Multidimensionality, Simplicity And Complexity

By Ashtar Command

Channel: Neva Gabriel
Translated and posted on January 30, 2025





Greetings from the Command!

This is a topic that, literally, tends to “tie knots” in people’s minds, especially those who haven’t yet allowed themselves to open up to new horizons.

As expected, as you advance in Love and Fraternity, you can then dive into what are called “mysteries”.

There will be a fusion of metaphysics with quantum physics in such a way that you will be drawn into a simple multidimensionality, where the most hardened ideas about life and multi-reality are broken.

Understanding the world as it is, always seeking a higher perspective on things, without necessarily being in ignorant inertia and passivity, is the future reality because, spontaneously, changes are happening for the better since you are walking towards the best of yourselves, and it could not be any different.

Naturally, the planetary field, in its old structure rooted in solid models regarding the dictatorship of rigid, archaic, and oppressive standards, collapses as a positive quantum field envelops the entire planet, as a result of a multidimensional fusion.

Yes, your higher Selves are projecting from the subtler realms into the physical environment in a way that causes old controlled structures, by those who know very well what we speak of, to tremble.

The ruling elites have the knowledge that has been denied to you: the knowledge of multidimensionality and the ability to travel through time, just as you can watch a movie on TV and fast forward or rewind as many times as you want.

It’s no wonder they tried to go back in time, along with the non-Federated Grays from Zeta Reticuli, during World War II, attempting to change the order of events and the inevitable end of the war.

Until a direct intervention from the angelic realm quelled the movement, “clogging” the multidimensional tunnels through which they were passing, in an attempt to change the final reality of the war.

Understanding Multidimensionality

To talk about multidimensionality to you, with your still limited understanding, is difficult if you keep your rationality active in the current paradigm, trying to understand through this means.

It’s important that the lower mind is silenced so that you can comprehend in the toroidal field of your heart and then expand to the higher mind.

When there is understanding through this heart field, your brain is “unlocked” in this regard, and comprehension becomes easier through mental intellect.

Thus, understanding multidimensionality is to allow your soul to flow through the energies that bathe the entire cosmos, without the lower thinking mind, affiliated with three-dimensionality, blocking cosmic reasoning, which only flows with the energetic dance of the toroidal.

There is an intimate connection between your heart’s toroidal and the pineal gland, and it’s this connection that opens the multidimensional field for a more expansive understanding, even if you are in a lower dimension.

In a simple analogy, in the multidimensional field, it’s as if you were a tree with roots, trunk, and crown, feeding off the minerals of the Earth and the Solar Light (The Source). You, like this tree, have a crown bustling with leaves and fruits, and each of these leaves and fruits is a fragment of “You”.

Each of these leaves and fruits is having an experience, yet intimately connected to the life center or nucleus. Each of these leaves and fruits, with the blowing of the winds, has its own dance, its own characteristics, its own energy signature, but even though they are in the same life nucleus, they preserve their individual characteristics and personality, because no leaf or fruit, no matter how apparently identical, will ever be 100% the same.

Friends of Earth, this “You” of yours is only, and merely, 3% of the real consciousness of the Greater Self, the tree in a general context. Where are the other 97%? Oh… where could it be…?

Another interesting analogy for multidimensionality that you can embrace is the analogy of a book or movie.

In a book, imagine each page tells a phase of your life, a moment, an age, a situation, and you can go forward or backward in the book, seeing your childhood now, then your adolescence, back to childhood, or to a future you wrote that you’d like to live.

All those pages that recount your past, your present, and a desired future, there in your hands, while you can flip back and forth as many times as you want. Well, that’s what we mean by multidimensionality.

The You that flips the pages, let’s say, is the You 97% or your Higher Self, as you say.

When you can access your multidimensionality, you will be much more connected with your Greater Self, and that’s what we’ve been calling you, friends of Earth, to focus on Good, Love, and Fraternity, because that’s what will unlock you to who you truly are.

The movie analogy is similar to the book, where you can fast forward and see scenes from the future of the movie, or more back, or pause.

That’s how it works.

There are membranes and cosmic tissues that subtly separate the multidimensional layers, which makes the topic even harder to understand when you have a brain that has been programmed and bombarded not to think about this and to treat it as just “science fiction”.

You are now walking towards deeper revelations about this, including about time travel technologies already available when some of your governments possess them, in many cases, acquired through inhumane and criminal deals with non-Federated entities from outside your planet.

When we said you are creators of reality, that’s how it is. In fact, you are creators of multidimensionality because when you find yourselves at a crossroads of doubt by yes or no, do or don’t do, go or don’t go, you always create a reality opposite to what you chose, that is, the Universe, in fusion with you, creates the other version of your choice.

So, in the mesh of multidimensionality, there’s always a new reality being created every second of your existence.

When you wake up in the morning and choose the blue outfit instead of the white one, immediately a parallel reality is created where you are wearing the other unchosen option.

It’s hard for a three-dimensional human mind to comprehend this, but as we said, go to the heart…

However, as the system’s cleanup funnels and you advance towards Unity, you gain more control over this, and the best choices are embraced.

A Message From The Command

You came to experience, and that’s what happens: you experience, with all options and impressions, in a constant vector towards the Source.

You start returning to Unity when most or all of your choices are more aligned with Universal Love, the Source of Life. Choose to live in Love, and naturally, you will be pulled into the corresponding realities.

But, one cannot deny that many of you have chosen Love in your deepest gesture and depth when you chose to sacrifice yourselves, merging into harder realities to help those lost and deluded by the reality you are, by free will, inserted into.

This is one of the most sublime forms of Love, see the example of Christ, who dwelt among you.

In all this experience, as a source of data absorption, you are a divine means by which this data is collected and included in the great Cosmic Mainframe, as if your Higher Selves were the supercomputer and you a fraction of it, a data-collecting software, intimately linked to the central base.

Imagine a computer that has thousands of cameras connected to it, with each of these cameras focusing on a point, in a reality, absorbing, seeing, and understanding everything that happens in each of the observable environments by it.

You are one of the cameras, the others are also versions of you, absorbing other data in images, etc. All interconnected to the same central base.

Little by little, we know, with our analogies, that you will understand the “dimension of the thing,” in a cosmic existence where the Supreme Source, or Supreme Creator, is something that we are also focused on reaching in its entirety and, in general, we are all together on this path.

You are changing, from parallel reality to parallel reality, billions of times per second. Decide which reality you prefer.

Any variation of ideas you can imagine about Earth is real because you are automatically creating it particularly for you. Switch to the one you prefer.

When you are in a chaotic world, guess what? You’ll have more of that. You are immersed in a Multi-reality. Research the “Mandela Effect”; it happens all the time! It’s not just a brain matter; it’s Multi-reality right in the middle of you.

It’s important for you to understand that as you advance in consciousness, you unify things and allow more subtle experiences to present themselves just by conceiving the Subtle.

Moreover, this allows our approach again, without further delay. All this is also the result of our intimate ancestral cosmic connection.

We are more connected than you might imagine. There’s much more to be said as we advance together in unveiling the veils that have kept you in a timeline that has been hard on you, but Love is and will always be the transformational key to all difficulties, and just like us in the past, you too now exit painful situations and rise to the highest frequencies, returning to an original state of being where there is nothing but a field of Unconditional Love.

Many of us who communicate within the Command are part of various races intimately linked to you, and especially today, we, the Pleiadians and Lyrans, communicate.

We, from the Command, in general, are planning to do a “questions and answers” with you at some appropriate time, where we will try to answer some of your questions on a global scale, where it can benefit the maximum number of people possible, within this structure of beliefs, ideas, and details.

And naturally, we will be able to talk more about multidimensionality.

That common phrase has never made more sense: “You are the ones you’ve been waiting for”.

In this field of multidimensionality, after all we’ve said today, we hope it makes even more sense.

This is an official message from the Ashtar Command, communicating now through our base in South America. Listen to the voice of the Ashtar Command through Neva at this moment.

The search for more answers continues to diminish as we advance delivering information through our reliable sources.

It’s a time of great revelations, and we must say something very important before we conclude our transmission today: do not fear any governmental situation regarding how your leaders might “delay/obstruct/problemize/hinder” our plans for the planet.

None of them have any jurisdiction concerning taking the lead in Earth’s ascension plan. There’s a line they cannot cross, and while we proceed with the original plan, constantly reviewed and perfected, they ponder over their own misfortunes and uncertainties about their personal future, and in this regard, there’s no other way out but Love, Fraternity, and Unification.

And of course, many of the clones that represent them, we believe, are having issues with their gears… and yes, we emphasize that they no longer sustain themselves before Earth’s high vibration.

The old system is crumbling, and it’s very obvious.

Adonai.

End of Self Doubt

End of Self Doubt

By Nicky Hamid

Posted on March 10, 2023




End of Self Doubt.

You are the one who knows. Only you know when you have the feeling of Knowing. No matter how things appear, how much another appears to know, only you can really know.

So the next time you doubt yourself STOP for a moment.

Just become aware of where you are putting the power of knowing.

Are you being guided by your own sense of heart, sense of what feels “right”, what resonates, or are you giving that power to an authority outside yourself.

You will also see that your Truth requires simplicity and not all the complicated, involved and “high” sounding modalities, techniques and theories of empowerment that abound these days (while all may have value for those they are meant for).

If you want to be centred then your only way back is moving towards your own feeling, which then connects to Knowing.

You know what you know in any given moment, so stop playing the game of unknowing, the game of belief, the game of being asleep.

Never accept as true any doubt in yourself again. Smile within yourself and say “Wow mind, I see you and I love you. We don’t go there anymore for that is illusion.”

It is your power that sets you free. So doubt is fine because it provides the best reminder to take yourself back.

And when you do it often enough, and quickly, you will start to feel that you are standing in the Flowing fullness of your Truth, your amazing Knowingness.

This knowing is not a vast collection of resources. It is an instantaneous Flow from the infinite “what is was and will be”.

You are an awesome Being, without a doubt.

Shine On

I So Love You
