Is it normal to let go of shame for more than 2 years?

I come from a very religious society, women are body ashamed so they have to cover, we are ashamed if we decide to leave religion, basically we are ashamed in every little detail in our lives especially as women.

So I worked a lot on shame, and I can feel the difference I can also see how that reflected on my reality.

But still I'm ashamed to take off my hijab to dress the way I want or to tell my family and friends that i left the religion.

Has anyone experienced this?

Emmett Fox = Acim just 40 years ealier

It is incredible to me how his teachings are the same as Acim. It is incredible how he knew.He taught that anyone could "know" the truth by quieting the ego (the "still waters") and allowing the Divine Intelligence to speak directly to their consciousness.

If you need something new to read that helps you strengthen the direction of the course, try him.

Example:

Dissolving Separation: "Not Two Things":

Fox’s most fundamental teaching is that "you and God are not two things."

The Ocean Analogy: He compared us to drops in the ocean. A drop isn't the whole ocean, but it is made of the "same stuff" as the ocean.

The Error: We feel "not enough" or lonely when we look only at the "drop" (our personality, bank account, or body) and forget the "ocean" (the Divine Substance) it is made of.

The Prayer: Scientific prayer is the act of looking past the "drop" to remember the "Ocean."

Doc said : "Reality is non-linear, there is no this causing that, mind can only work in linear way."

Just for some context : I'm trying understand marketing, there are things like "you give some of your services free to people that will be your lead magnet, then though which you will convert them into sales, Profit!" majority is seems like Manipulation atleast to me, so i am like "i will see how to reach to more people and how you represent product to people, but i don't have to do it like i'm manipulating other."

so as I'm consuming more content around sales and marketing whether from podcast or book, as i see some new thing, my mind is like "oh! how can i get profit from it", i'm trying to control how things should go,
Its like i want future to be certain, and there is fear of uncertainty

How do i let go of control and enter non linear domain?

I am trying to think through a connection between David Hawkins’s field consciousness idea and a recent AI interpretability paper called KisMATH: Do LLMs Have Knowledge of Implicit Structures in Mathematical Reasoning?

I am not claiming the paper proves Hawkins. I am also not claiming LLMs are conscious in the human sense.

The connection I am seeing is more specific:

Both Hawkins and KisMATH point toward knowledge as hidden structure, not just local content.

Hawkins argued that consciousness, truth, knowledge, and development are organized by hidden attractor patterns. In that view, knowledge is not merely stored inside one individual brain. The individual mind participates in a larger field of knowing. Truth is not just a private opinion or a stored fact. It has structure, coherence, and force.

KisMATH makes a very different kind of claim, but the resemblance is strange.

The paper studies large language models doing mathematical reasoning. It finds that the model’s visible reasoning trace is not just surface text. Beneath the answer, there are hidden causal structures. The researchers extract those structures as Causal Chain of Thought Graphs, identify which reasoning nodes are load bearing, disrupt parts of the structure, and then measure whether the answer becomes less stable.

That matters because it suggests the answer is not located in one visible sentence, one token, or one isolated fact. The answer depends on a distributed structure of relations.

That is where I see the bridge to Hawkins.

Hawkins says knowledge is organized by hidden attractor fields.

KisMATH says reasoning is organized by hidden causal graph structures.

Hawkins treats knowing as something larger than private memory.

KisMATH shows that reasoning depends on structures distributed across a trace, not merely on isolated content.

Both seem to push against the flat view that knowledge is just stored information.

The deeper question is whether knowledge itself may be nonlocal in a meaningful sense. Not necessarily supernatural. Not necessarily quantum. But nonlocal in the sense that knowledge is not contained in one place. It exists across relations, paths, dependencies, constraints, and patterns that different minds or systems can enter.

A mathematical proof is a good example. Once discovered, it is not merely one person’s private thought. It becomes part of a shared structure. Other people can learn it. Future thinkers can extend it. Machines can train on it. The structure is realized locally each time, but the pattern itself is larger than any one person.

That seems close to the idea of collective knowledge.

If KisMATH is right, LLMs are not merely copying surface language. They are traversing hidden structures of reasoning that were built across human mathematical culture. That does not make the model conscious. But it may mean the model is participating in a structured field of human knowledge.

So the core claim is this:

KisMATH may be showing a computational version of nonlocal information. Knowledge may not be stored only as isolated facts inside individual minds. It may be distributed across hidden structures of relation, and those structures become visible when a system reasons, stabilizes, or collapses.

This is where the muscle test becomes relevant, but only as one example. Hawkins’s arm test tried to detect hidden truth alignment through bodily response. KisMATH detects hidden reasoning structure through model response. In both cases, hidden structure becomes visible through system response.

But the bigger point is not the arm test.

The bigger point is collective knowledge.

Maybe knowledge is not just something a brain possesses. Maybe it is a structured field that brains, cultures, texts, and now AI systems can participate in.

That is the part I am trying to understand.

Is KisMATH giving us a computational shadow of Hawkins’s field consciousness idea?

Or am I stretching the comparison too far?

I thought this was interesting and wanted to share.

Years ago, I bought A Course in Miracles and tried to read it, but I just couldn’t get into it. The language was so dense, and I had a hard time understanding what was being said.

A friend gave me a book by David Hawkins, which also sat on my shelf for years, until this past winter. Someone inspired me to finally read it, and I ended up devouring it in just a few weeks. At first, I had to constantly reach for a dictionary to understand the words being used. Fast forward four months: I’ve now read four of his books and listened to two more. My need for the dictionary has mostly subsided, though I still use it occasionally. I can now easily comprehend what’s being said. Then it seems to sink into my subconscious, incubate, and later emerge as sudden moments of understanding.

Recently, I picked up A Course in Miracles again, and this time I could understand it with ease.

Somewhere along the way over the past few years, it feels like my ability to process what I once considered complex material has shifted. It almost feels like a new superpower. When I think back to those earlier days, I remember an energetic heaviness, almost like a numbing sensation when trying to learn these kinds of things. Now, there’s a sense of lightness and spaciousness instead. That heaviness is gone.

I have two theories, and they’re probably both true. First, I think my level of consciousness has expanded, allowing me to more clearly discern what’s being communicated. Second, I used to believe I wasn’t very smart due to difficult childhood experiences, poor teachers, and not having a natural knack for English or math, skills that are often treated as the most valuable in society. Over the past decade, though, I’ve realized that I’m not unintelligent at all. In fact, I’ve worked in roles designing software in complex industries like space and places analyzing large scale government contracting data.

It makes me wonder, by thinking I was dumb, I pulled that attractor field towards myself, litterally making my brain numbed out. I pretty much lived in an illusion of not being able to understand and comprehend, and over time with the raising of my consciousness level and surrendering that idea of myself, I am now able to not only ready but truly understand what is being said.

I really like this guy. To me, he breaks down the letting go/surrender technique in a clear manner. I like hearing his podcast before going to bed. All episodes are sorta the same thing in essence, but to me the repetition helps.

Sending here in the hope it can help more people

Stay with feeling, focus on the feeling and the feeling of that feeling until it runs out.

Or notice the feeling, observe it from a 3rd person perspective, acknowledge it and shift attention?

Hawkins seems to say both

Hey everyone, trigger warning for SA.

I was SA’d a few weeks ago. I already have such a low level of love for myself, so I’ve been feeling like I deserve it.

I got out of a relationship that was emotionally and physically unfair and neglectful. And the more I think about what he did to me while I devoted my entire being to him, the more it reinforces those negative beliefs about myself.

I seriously think something is wrong with my worth as a human being. Has anyone else experienced this and come out the other side? What do I have to do to deserve love and loyalty? What do I have to change about myself to stop unconsciously searching for ways to punish myself with horrible men and bad choices and “false beliefs” (that feel SO, SO, true)? I’m so tired. I need help. I need prayer. I’m at the end of my rope.

Does anyone else find it difficult to let go when trying to get to sleep? I find it’s when I’m most resisting what I’m feeling, perhaps because I am aware that letting go gives me energy and awareness (when I don’t want it) or because I am trying to control the outcome of letting go, which is to sleep - so I find it so hard to do the technique like I can on a walk for example. Anyone else have this?
