Remember, we see the world not as it is but as we are. Most of us see through the eyes of our fears and our limiting beliefs and our false assumptions.
Robin S Sharma ( The Monk Who Sold is Ferrari)
Thinking about core beliefs and about how what we tend to believe and percieve impacts our expereince of life. Most of us see the world through the eyes of the fear/shame based neurotic ego. I know I do.
When we do this, Sue Morter tells us we are still caught up in what she refers to as the Stage 1: The Stage of victimhood where we see life as happening to us and believe we can't have any impact...feel a strong sense of fatalsim and resignation....The paradigm is characterized by anger, fear,hopelessness, helplessness, resignation, fatalism. struggle to survive , and the like. We act according to what we perceive. We receive what we consistently perceive. What gets me the most about this perspective is that most of us don't even know we are unhappy and that there is another way to be. (page28)
We may advance from this stage, as I and many of you have, to some degree by setting out to redeem ourselves (the ego) by fixing our outer personnas and the world out there so it makes us feel better in here. This is what Sue Morter calls Stage 2: The Self-Help Stage. In this stage we work hard to heal what we believe is wrong, missing, or even broken within us or in others, and strive to be happier. (page 29). I spent most of my adult life in this stage, with a few slips back to Stage One.
Michael A. Singer tells us that we are still trapped in egoic ways when we are in Stage two living by this mantra:
Let's make the ego believe what we all say we should believe?
Michael Singer also reminds us that we are not yet seeing truth when we are stuck in these stages. Both are of ego. We are still building samskaras and reacting to their triggers. We are not truly seeing the truth and acting accordingly.
Non truth is way bigger than you think it is. Nontruth is the ego...your ego is not the truth . It is not true that you are beautiful. It is not true that you are not beautiful. It is not true you are a male. It is not true you are a female. It is not true that you are any of that. You are the Self.
Many of us are still seeing the world through these dark lens and seeking spiritual freedom through egoic means which isn't going to work.
If I look into the darkness, I don't see the light. Singer
Truth is we are not the ego and until we can drop below into who we really are...the Seat of Consciousness ...we are not going to live in truth.
The part of you that is so very important is the part you do not pay attention to...the part of you that is watching...You are not what you are experiencing...you are the one who is experiencing...
All of life is meant to come in and pass through as we vibrate at the highest energy posible for our human forms. We keep jamming up the pipes when the neurotic ego, set on either protecting or fixing itself and life, is in control. It grabs, clings, represses, supresses, resists and makes a big mess.
We need to fall back away from ego and its belief addiction, recognize who we are...and heal from there so we can live the life we are meant to live from there as well.
Then ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.
John 8: 32 NIV
All is well!
