Gratitude is they key to mastering the mind. Be thankful for what you have. Even in your darkest moments. This requires practise. To reverse your thought flow from blaming and hating to one of appreciation (it starts here and now).
Love whatever arises. You want Love, this is how you do it. If you want hate, keep blaming and escaping. Your choice.
All mental illness is a choice. It’s like being fat mentally, you have to exercise your mind to excorsize the demons. It’s not gonna happen on its own. So stop being lazy and get down to business.
Positive daily habits and routines are CRUCIAL to stay disciplined and not overburdened with the vicissitudes of the capitalist dystopian hell so many are enamoured by. You gotta shine with effervescent Love to resist all the temptations and trappings of modernity. It takes a lot of diligent work but worth it in the end because we all want Love (even the Jokers within us who just wanna give up and cause mayhem, ultimately Joker was just deprived of Love and this caused him to act out to get attention).
Note: I did not say your mind. Because the mind is just a part of a bigger system. And when I say “I” that is also a mind trick to keep us locked and loaded in the dream world. There is no “self” or “I” or “we” or “you” or “your” or “mine” beyond the language ego game we play (all your thoughts are different parts of the mind communicating with each other).
Ultimately, there is only Love. Love is what connects us all, even the psychopath capitalists like Trump and Musk who have gone so far down the “fear” rabbit hole that they are taking advantage of billions of people. Billionaire is not a sign of prosperity, it is a sign of psychopathy. All this comes from a lack of Love realization/actualization.
But more on that later…
