Stop Fighting Yourself

9 posts in this topic

Your perspective is a gift. 

Your opinion is remarkable, totally valid and worth honouring!

How often do we have the tendency to look to others, to Leo, an enlightened master or some “God-consciousness” to come by and give us all the answers we’re looking for. In spirituality there’s much emphasis on “being wrong”, “being bad”, “getting rid of the ego”, etc.

How about you stop for a minute and try the opposite.

Have you ever considered how incredible it is to just sit down with a piece of paper and your own mind and contemplate a question? Just you and your perspective? To find out what your truth is, what you would like to do, how you see an issue?

And that maybe, just maybe, it’s a gift?

That it’s a privilege to be you? A privilege even to see the world in a limited way?

 

You discover what you are when you stop getting rid of yourself. When you stop trying to “break out”.

You’re the thing you’re looking for. Stop turning away from it :-)

 

Stop trying to be somebody else.

That’s the essence of meditation.

To stop fighting yourself.

 

Just try it and see what happens.

 

Don’t try to “get there”.

Be here.

 

Honour your experience. That’s the key, really. Turn towards yourself, not away from yourself.

You’re God’s child. Your imperfect, sober, limited mind is proof for God’s limitless love and creativity.

Our imperfections are what are keeping all of us together.

some people need the fight, others, want the fight, few, get the fight :P

Well said. Even though the ego-mind is ultimately finite and limited it is still immensely valuable. 

You do not experience a world, you experience your own perception of the world.

I mentioned bypassing to a very enlightened individual and he brought up the point you can't bypass what's happening...


“Everything is honoured, but nothing matters.” — Eckhart Tolle.

"I have lived on the lip of insanity, wanting to know reasons, knocking on a door. It opens. I've been knocking from the inside." -- Rumi
