RECHARGE Your Awareness:

Are we afraid of our emotions? 

What are we really afraid of: Is everything that we do and all our fears boils down to the fact that we are afraid of our emotions? Something for you to ponder on ....

Making Peace With the Mind pt 3 of 3

Part 1: Your Personality and Understanding the Puppeteer
Part 2: Duality & Desire: How to Begin to Be Free of the Puppeteer

If you truly investigated yourself for a long time, you will certainly come to the point of realization that you have no control over your emotions and your behavior. You have absolutely no control. For example, your anger will strike at any time before you can even realize this in order to halt yourself from acting. Because we have absolutely no control, this means that we have created a kind of monster within us. This monster is INSANE. In the book & film Life of Pi (which I wrote about here), the father tells Pi that Richard Parker (the tiger) is not our friend. This is wrong, this is making the thinking mind to be an enemy. It is not because we gave control over to it. We still have control at the end of the day, you just need to discover it and may take a lot of time, but it's ok. Pi goes through a series of lessons and tests with his alter-ego but eventually they come to realize that they need each other to survive, Pi is no longer afraid of the tiger (his mind). You need the mind to take you out of the mind. When the tiger's purpose has dwindled -- when the illusion is unraveled and reality sets in -- it simply disappears. Therefore you have a part of you that belongs to you that is absolutely insane and is always fighting with you but you just need to understand it for what it is, because you handed all or most of your responsibilities to it. When we understand our mind, we will eventually figure out that it is an elaborate illusion but the simple reality sets in without any kind of expected dramatic entrance (or dramatic goodbye of the tiger Richard Parker, which is why Pi was sad when this happens). Do not underestimate this monster within you. It is huge. It is as ferocious as a tiger.  Follow the practice I am suggesting to you. There are other ways to do it, other philosophical schools, etc but I did this on my own and I am sharing my practice with you because it certainly helped me. Again, if you are constantly observing yourself or investigating how you 'work', you will not only realize that you have no control but you will also realize how huge the monster is.

DO NOT MAKE IT YOUR ENEMY This is what causes suicides and depressions and schizophrenia and wars and murders and so on. This is WRONG.

In fact we need only to be doing one simple thing here: that is to ACCEPT what is happening for now and use the Russian doll metaphor explained here. We need to totally accept that a part of us is absolutely insane without trying to fix it because it only wants us to be happy please read The Illusion is your Friend. When we have made total acceptance, this part of us no longer is our enemy that we fear. We fear it will raise its monstrous head at any given time. We must not fear ourselves anymore because fear is what will stop us from controlling the monster. If we still find ourselves in fear, that means that we did not totally accept it and that you are still inside the mind. Watch the film Life of Pi to analyze Pi and his relationship with Richard Parker and find meaning in it for your life.

Anything that arises out of your mind that disturbs the calm mind, be it very subtle or very obvious, is the monster. Do not underestimate the monster as it is huge. But when you accept this monster as a part of you (without fear for fear means that you are still using your mind/the tiger/the monster), use the Russian doll metaphor and you will strengthen control over your actions. Get right back to the practice, make the practice your routine! The symptoms that you are on the right path is that you experience peace within yourself, heart doesn't palpitate. When your mind is controlling things your heart palpitates and your breathing is irregular! That is how you will know which is in control.

Listen slowly and carefully: Strengthen the foundation of your path by solidifying Patience and Trust in the uknown. Surrender to the here & now in order to 'listen' and 'see' the signs by the girth of your Intuition. Expect absolutely nothing means zero interference of Judgement (if you experience Judgement that means you are still inside the mind's illusory labrynth). Everything about your life is based on Interdependence. Solidify Patience, solidify Trust and your Highest Path will come to you. The signs and experiences will come to you when they need to come to you. All is good ('good' in a very deeper sense). This is perfect Harmony. This is Divine Timing. And remember: "Suffering stops at the clock of Surrender & Humility." - AllYouAreisHeaven

The Choice is yours in that you can waste your life on experiencing life on the Donkey (Meditation) or on a Jet Plane (Psychegnosis)."

Heaven in Thought: Osho

" 'So much water has gone down the Ganges [river].' Buddha was sitting on the bank of the Ganges under a tree. He showed the man, 'Look, each moment so much water is flowing down! Twenty-four hours have passed -- why are you carrying it, something which is no longer existential? Forget all about it.' "

- Osho, The Book of Wisdom, p. 73

BBC Documentary: The Magical Forest (HD)

This is a beautifully produced documentary that shows the interdependence of nature. We need to be aware of this truth, that we are also interdependent on the environment and people around us. Pleasant and powerful visuals guided by a charming narrator, Mr. Chris Packham. Indeed the forest is magical. Watch when you have free time and are in the mood for something insightful about the Earth, life, and our ecosystem.
