GEVOEL VAN VRIJHEID EEN GEVAARLIJKE KINDERILLUSIE Gevoelens van vrijheid, grenzeloosheid, moeiteloosheid, onkwetsbaarheid, en totale eenheid of ‘nondualiteit’ zijn onverwerkte erfenissen uit onze vroege jeugd.
Opgroeien betekent leren onderscheiden waar grenzen in tijd en ruimte bestaan, ontdekken van beperkingen van onze mogelijkheden, loslaten van egocentrische gelukzaligheid en verantwoordelijkheid nemen voor onze gedragingen.
FEELING OF FREEDOM A DANGEROUS CHILDHOOD ILLUSION
Feelings of freedom, limitlessness, effortlessness, invulnerability, and total union or 'nonduality', are undigested remainders of early childhood.
Growing up means that we learn to distinguish boundaries in space and time, discover limits of our possibilities, depart from selfish bliss, and take responsibility for our actions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OLD PAIN
True spiritual growth is liberation from the prison of old pain.
By creating tensions in our brain and other parts of the body, old pain keeps imprisoning a number of our natural capacities.
Surely, we can get relief from tension by meditation, yoga, massage, dance, music, nature walks, herbs, satsangs, or smiling in front of the mirror. But as long as we avoid dealing with old pain, such effects will time and again evaporate.
ENDURING RELIEF
For an enduring relief of tension, it is unavoidable to deal with old pain.
The more we release old pain, the deeper the relaxation will be, and the more we liberate our natural intuition, sense of sacredness, peace of mind, loving heart, intelligence, creativity, honesty, joy, humor, and wisdom.
CHILDHOOD ILLUSIONS
Experiences of nonduality, effortlessness, limitless awareness, and total union may also surface, and often allied with a sense of superiority.
But they are, it’s not always a popular message, undigested remainders of early childhood, from before the period that we started discovering limitations, learning to distinguish, taking responsibility for our actions, and depart from selfish bliss.
TOO DEEPLY ROOTED
If we still believe they are our true state of being, it is because undigested early childhood experiences are deeply rooted in our subconscious.
But don’t let nondualism regain power in the process of releasing old pain. Let the journey towards emotional adulthood not be hijacked by childhood illusions.
EMOTIONAL MATURITY
Better focus on the liberation of emotionally mature capacities. They will remain active under difficult circumstances, preclude unnecessary fears, conflicts, worries, accusations, and other forms of suffering, and guide us into best practice.
Paradoxically as it is, hard times invite us all the more to release old pain and liberate our pure capacities. #Freedom #Maturity #Psychology #Spirituality #Inspiration #Mindful #Responsibility
