Fallen Off The Path Of Meditation

5 posts in this topic

Leo had touched on the idea that the Ego can be very distracting when it comes to meditation in that if a person becomes entranced with the motivation to meditate, then the Ego is threatened for fear of falling apart --- as it does when practicing meditation and self-actualization on the path to enlightenment.

Yup ... I've felt my Ego get in my way and it's disturbing. I LOVED meditating and truly felt like it was getting me somewhere. But once I felt this eager to dedicate my life to this work, a strange thing happened. I would plan on meditating or think of doing it in the moment ... but then, I wouldn't. WHY???

How could I truly want to practice and not have any reasons to hold me back from doing it ... and yet, I don't do it. 

Do I not want to do it as badly as I think I do? 

This goes for my studying, too. I LOVE my major and dream of practicing it professionally ... and yet, lately ... I'm cramming for tests jus to get a low B. 

*sigh* I don't understand why I jus feel so frozen.

Stop thinking and start again, but this time, make it a 100% commitment

Don't let your mind rationalize anything, you have 3 seconds top until your ego finds a good excuse, and you will believe it, everytime.


God is love

Whoever lives in love lives in God

And God in them

Funny how when I post about my dilemmas, I scroll down in the forum and find an answer in someone else's post. I just watched Leo's video on laziness and it spoke to me, saying exactly what you said: Stop thinking, jus do it! 

My mind is blocking me through maladaptive habits that occur in my roller-coaster cycles. Being an over-achiever sure has its perks ... but also it's curses.

Will power is highest when you wake up and gone by sunset. Use this to your advantage. 

Also, prime yourself. Listen to a video about how great meditation is for 5-10 minutes and you'll be much more inclined to then do it.
