Susan Boyle & 7 Echoes of self-acceptance

Susan Boyle is a Scottish woman who is experiencing unprecedented attention after singing a song on Britain's Got Talent.  Her unfolding dream reveals how the world is awakening to new levels of core consciousness. Consider these messages her behaviour reveals about self-acceptance;

1) Recognize how you think. As self-defeating assumptions take hold, you forget who you are and talents you have.  Learn to discern the process. Core motivation is conditioned to be pleasure. To detach from ego helps end self-deception.

2) Be yourself. Regardless how other people view or describe you, its how you view yourself that matters. To feel at ease and confident means you experience heart and soul as they are. You sense energy and instinctively listen to a loving, inner voice. You forgive people for critics are unaware what they say.

3) Filter distorted information. The senses and faculties shape beliefs and how you respond to trends in pop culture. An unquestioning mind accepts incoming messages and believes the self must conform to images that appear. To doubt your instincts reinforces attachment to what is not really you.

4) Awaken to ignorance.  To be a dispassionate observer of your own life enables awareness of false appearances and choices made as the result of influences that are not you.  Expanding limited ideas of beauty and talent teaches you to appreciate timeless, core qualities in every human being.

5) Overcome afflictive emotions. To allow yourself to generate painful, distressing or fearful emotions arises from basic misunderstanding. As you evolve to sense they do not exist, you no longer anticipate or feel them. You dissolve them and return to vibration of unconditional love. Its all there is.

6) Tackle misperceptions.  When a person removes the mind from considering certain ideas, or distracts mind from what it thinks it wants, this does not get to the core stumbling block. You have to experience things that prompt you to realize the world does not exist in ways ignorance makes it seem. If the physical world exists how people are led to believe, then nothing would ever shift your perspective or values.

7) See the bigger picture. What you do at any given moment is never really about you. It is about engaging a process. Mental and physical notions of happiness and suffering are influential at different stages of one's life. When a person is at a loss to solve a problem, that person is often unaware of a cause or, does not understand universal energy.  As you cease to judge, a gap between perception and thought remains.

"To allow yourself to generate painful, distressing or fearful emotions arises from basic misunderstanding."

When I think if this one I know that there is an great inner peace there for the taking anytime we are open to it.

Yay!

Jannie, it is empowering to reframe the idea of waiting too. As you choose to be absolutely alert, tension dissolves. You rediscover what it feels like to experience all the evidence you ever need to know who you truly are.

Hi Liara .. thanks so much for that recommendation .. I bought it last summer - we had a review here, which I spotted and so ordered her book ..it is an amazing story & I'm always talking about it & referring to one of the video interviews - a 15 minute one .. though I know she did a TED one for the 2008 sessions.

Mum has 'improved' but at 88 .. it's a slightly different scenario .. I've found her whole journey an amazingly uplifting time .. and I've been so lucky to have two years and she really hasn't lost her faculties ..

I'm just going across to your link .. I will do one on my in due course .. I did a 'simple' one after Natasha Richardson died ..
