Unless I know what you don’t understand, unless I know what is your fundamental lack of knowledge, all my articles, all my teachings go right over your head.
I had a wake up call yesterday, a wake up call I didn’t expect.
But if one person has this problem, then this is probably everyone’s problem, except I didn’t know it, because I didn’t have this problem.
One of my students in the 67 step coaching program launched a project to sell a real estate property. It is time to make some money!
Yesterday I wrote about the “nut” that unless you break it and see what’s in it, your life will be lived out in the misery of duality. There is help available, here, because you need someone who is ruthlessly compassionate.
Of course you want someone who’ll console you, who’ll coddle you, but if you really want to get to the other side of it, and start the process of becoming real, you need someone who doesn’t buy into your fantasy about yourself, that even you know it’s a fantasy.
I, honestly, don’t expect any of you to be ready. It’s not a rate thing, I could offer it for free, and you wouldn’t be interested enough to come.
The Playground was a long version of this process, and a total of three-four people attended regularly. Of course there I didn’t tell people what was required of them… maybe I didn’t really know… I only realized the significance after 2-3 months passed.
Here is an Osho talk, talking about this exact topic. Enjoy.
Self-knowledge is the most difficult thing – not because it is difficult, but because you are scared to know about yourself. A deep fear exists. Everybody is trying to escape, escape from himself. This fear has to be understood. And if this fear exists, whatsoever you do will not be of much help. You may think that you want to know yourself, but if this unconscious fear is there you will continuously avoid, you will continuously try to hide, deceive. On the one hand you will try to know yourself, and on the other hand you will create all sorts of hindrances so that you cannot know.
I consider myself quite aware, quite present, and yet… I am still finding out stuff that I have had no idea about.
Your attitude, more often than not, comes as a mirror of your “opponent’s”… partner’s, “the other”.
One of the automatic behaviors happens without any thinking on our part: mirroring.
It is one of those phenomena when you act and then justify it later.
Example: I called on a participant yesterday, or was it on Monday?
I found myself tensing up, I found myself arguing.
The difference between you and me, is that I caught myself. What tipped me off is that I had no reason to be confronted, or confrontational. I was at peace about the topic, about the participant, about life. So suddenly hearing myself arguing was a dead giveaway.
Getting to Abundance one Step At A Time – Practicing The Feeling Of Freedom And Power Through Contributing To It
Churches, communities, etc. ask you to contribute. And you comply: you volunteer, you give away your old winter coat, you give food, or money.
But as in everything, context is decisive.
What’s the context in their request? That you support the less fortunate. There is morality: you can afford and therefore you should, and there is shaming… you don’t eat your food and little kids starve in Africa, or “be generous and earn the Kingdom of Heaven” b.s.
All of these make you a wretch. And not just you, anyone. Why? Because context is decisive.
Nature, trees, animals, do not willingly give what they have, unless they have a selfish reason for it. Not a feeling, but a direct benefit. And nature is fine, thank you, and no one suffers. No morality, no shoulds, just good old selfishness. Surprised? Good.
Level 1: you concentrate and activate your tangerine spot. As long as you are aware of it being active, you are connected: you can receive light, some nudging guidance about what Source wants you to do, you can work, walk, exercise while this connection is on.
How Many Different Ways Do You Know Your Mind Keep You Trapped In A Dead End Loop Of Activity?
I’ve told you about me, finally, awakening that there is a mosquito invasion in every window of my duplex.
So I’ve researched for ways to get rid of the mosquitoes that doesn’t involve chemicals, doesn’t involve flame throwers, and expensive carbon monoxide machines.
One recipe called for brown sugar. I have never bought brown sugar, and I didn’t feel good buying a pound of brown sugar for the mosquitoes… but I remembered that I had some black-strap molasses in my kitchen cabinets. After all brown sugar is not perfectly cleaned sugar… mostly they just mix the white sugar with some molasses… I can do that.
The mosquitoes love the molasses. They buzz above them, and then they go too close and the sticky gooey molasses trap them. They move around but can’t get out.
This reminds me that we could talk about the morass: the mind’s way to keep you trapped in useless servitude so you can’t move forward.
Sound useful? Then let’s get to it.
Ways the morass traps you
This article may be the most important article you’ll ever read… This is not an exaggeration. Any day is a good day to wake up, but around these weeks of greed and herdlike stomping to get more stuff, it is especially a good time. So, as you understand, this is a wake up article…
We all say we hate complainers. And we all complain.
But is there any form of complaint that is not a downer, that is not a racket, that is a good thing?
I like to watch entire series of television shows on Netflix. If I don’t like it, I just start another one. No commercials, no TV needed, easy.
I watched Foyle’s War, a British series, and I was encouraged: well written, well played. So I started to watch a Swedish series, Wallander. Five stars… must be good.
I didn’t expect it to happen… and it surprised and scared the heck out of me.
In the story I am currently following on Netflix, The Guardian, the lead character finally shows his true colors…
Now, I did see outward signs of it, but the emotional side, maybe because they picked the wrong actor for it, didn’t match.
The story is about a talented lawyer who gets caught possessing and using drugs. Instead of sending him to jail, they sentence him to 1500 hours of community service, to work as a lawyer to help children who need the system to help them.
Cancer is like squatters… they move in when there is no one living there… and then use all the facilities, all they find to wreck the home, like a parasite.
You can kill them, you can burn them, and kill and burn the house/apartment/body with them.
So doctors, similarly, can cut cancer out, they can burn it with chemicals, radiation, but they can’t heal it. Why?
Because cancer is a spiritual disease, not physical in its cause. Just like squatters. Read the rest of the article
