"So Be It!"

Mind can be the biggest trap, or the biggest liberator. The personal mind is the biggest trap... and you are completely addicted to it.... Do you know what liberation means? Freedom from the personal mind....The personal mind is a problem...Are you willing to look underneath that?   You [can]eventually let it go...becoming nobody. 

Michael A. Singer 

 "So be it!"

Imagine being able to say that to everything that unfolds in front of us or through us, regardless of what it is. 

How I long to be able to say. "So, be it!"  to every experience life hands this human I call me to feel its way through. Why don't I?  This "me" is still there, addicted to the personal mind, reacting to circumstances where it perceives it is being judged, criticized, or expected to be less than others.  

There are people in this life experience, whom I love dearly, but who, without meaning to, poke that samskara within me that shouts, "You are not only not enough but you deserve to be shamed, criticized and punished for your less than normal efforts. " These individuals are good and amazing people who just happen to have a lot more than this human has. They earned their success and I am truly happy for them. Yet, personal mind still tends to feel "less than" when I am with them...not good enough in anything I do or say.  As a result, I find myself sometimes ingenuine...attempting to create image, please in some ways; becoming overly defensive, and self protective in others. 

Are they responsible for this feeling experience within me? 

No! Absolutely not. I am the only being responsible. I am simply experiencing samskara triggering while in their presence.  I stuffed and stored very radio-active and sensitive-to-explosion stuff within me.  Being that the shame samskara is already making its way to the surface, and I have already peeled away so many  layers of ego-self  that once offered at least some form of false protection from the world, this humanis very vulnerable and 'sensitive'. It is much easier for others to trip over the invisible trigger line, to expose, aggravate, and ignite this toxic stuff I stored inside....without even realizing they ever did. It doesn't take much these days to stir up my insides. The samskara ridden personalities of others, unknowingly, tend to stir up these inner emotional currents and core beliefs from this human's personality.  

And that is a wonderful thing to a mind that wants to be free from the trap of personal mind! 

So, be it!

I woke up feeling this innocently triggered samskara of shame and unworthiness once again in the center of my core. It made its wiggling and writhing way up to conscious awareness. I didn't squish it back down, though personal mind was strongly encouraging me to do so. I said , "So be it!" and  I sat with it.  I could see where it was coming from, and why, but I didn't dwell on story. The tears came. I allowed them. 

So, be it!

Once I took a step back, I could also see that the experience was a result of a personal mind trap. In my addicted tendency,  I was directing this amazing, infiniitely wide consciousness, the impersonal mind, to once again stare down at the "little me."  I realized, I was allowing my perception of Life to be all about me again. So, I took another deep breath and another mental step backwards. I recited my intention to "open, release, purify, heal, align, love self, expand my heart, live life through Love, and to find freedom in awakening".   I breathed my way through the physical and emotional discomfort, honoring both. I released that which was ready for release and then I went back to the business of living.  Hmmm! 

There is still a big knot in my belly but it is getting smaller and smaller with every release, with every trigger. 

So be it!

I may not appear to be much on the outside to others. That is true. An imperfect human who has little, does little, offers little but a few imperfect gifts to the world. But...I also know that is just the way personal minds, including mine, may see it. It is not who I am. 

What is inside you is more beautiful than anything you could ever feel [or show] from the outside. 

I am becoming "nobody" and I am  greater for it.

So, be it!

All is well.
