Solitude takes away the comfort of being mirrored back…by the other.
Solitude forces Oneself to exist without defining Ourselves…through reflection.
That’s why it’s so hard to be Alone.
We must endure the collapse of projection- to Realize Our Original Blissful True Self…
Sensitivity increases when the family relational field is dysfunctional.
Sensitivity leads to hyper-perception.
External criticism turns defensive hypersensitivity inward.
Self-judging arises.
Negative inner talk begins.
See the ORIGIN of the loop the mind is caught within…
A common fear of Awakening is- I will become emotionless.
We do not stop feeling emotions-
-but We lose the “charge” attached to them.
Charge arises from polarity between two people.
Charge dissolves…as duality dissolves.
Pure “clean” emotion remains.
Clarity of feeling…
Developing Awareness gives Us the capacity to face Unconscious wounds that would otherwise overwhelm Our emotional structure.
If You can’t yet face Yourself- the Consciousness is waiting for You to develop the capacity to See Your wounds without collapsing.
Keep Observing Life.
A Spiritual seeker who “rests as Awareness” but remains unaware of Unconscious habit patterns-
-is still missing the mark…
Realizing Unconscious childhood relational patterns are still the driving force behind adult decision making- is removing a hidden Vail.
Go deeper…
Empathy that arises from unconscious self-protectiveness is not virtuous.
A COMPULSIVE need to help others…is often a subtle way of abandoning Ourselves…before We can be rejected.
True Empathy requires Conscious discernment.
Be Aware of where Your intentions Truly come from.
Every form of suffering only occurs due to not being aware of thoughts being just that, and instead, being identified with them and believing their narrative.
It's not an intellectual understanding.
If we cling to that conceptually, we only split ourselves by... ⬇️
...being identified with thoughts claiming thoughts are our enemies.
Experiential realization through practice with the willingness and courage to dive deep into questioning and dismantling our identity structure, is what will free ourselves from delusion... ⬇️
There's a big difference between doing things that you simply love & doing things only to seek particular feelings.
The latter comes from a conflit/trauma manifesting as the need to fill a void or escape other feelings.
It direclty feeds broken ego.
It's a psychological drive.
Confidence is not a thing per se.
It's not something to reach, or to act.
It's not separate from you.
It's just the simple truth when there are no doubts.
Same with peace, stillness, silence, and love.
Don't let unpleasant sensations or discomfort stop you from putting yourself in situations where you are challenged.
This is precisely where your limitations are revealed, where you will free yourself, and expand into your boundlessness.
