Deal With the Cause

 

Don't just fight with the result; deal with the cause. 

Michael Singer

Words of wisdom from today's podcast:

• Start off with respecting and honoring reality
• Ground starting point is understanding the laws of nature, of science, of psychology...not a chance in the world that ppl are going to be the way you want them to be
• transcend lower drives...animal nature = external evolution
• transcend the psyche and its lower nature= internal evolution....
• step back and be the awareness that is aware...be the one that is watching what is going on in there instead of being the something going on in there
• just see...don't fight with your thoughts...just see them and look deeply into their root
• don't react to what you see inside 
• The key to deep spiritual growth ...break the attachment to staring at thoughts...feelings...life events etc
• Consciousness is independent of what it is watching
• Your natural energy flow is up
• Who cares what the mind has to say...it is just expressing the sum of its learned experiences
• emotions are what happens when the shakti is trying to come up and it hits your blockages and they shoot out
• level of understanding that says supression does not work= psychology
• Look at this concept that you cannot be comfortable down here and enjoy your life...deal with it
• "I am willing to let this go"...first be willing to look in there and deal with it
• try to make it through the day without supressing anything...without stuffing more in
• relax into what is...stop resisting
• when the old stuff starts coming back up and it will...let it...want it too..welcome...celebrate it...apologize to it for shoving it down

All is well!
