How to liberate yourself
Friday, March 12, 2010 at 11:54PM If you do not open to explore who you are, you do not allow self to gain insight into the way things truly are. You also prevent self from moving through obstacles and freeing yourself from repeating patterns. As you choose to do what it takes to liberate self from mind, you not only empower self by zeroing in at the root of perceived issues, but also help others. To be here means you are ready.
The first step is to feel what its like to observe the mind. Notice how destructive thoughts and emotions arise and how you choose to be affected in your exernal behaviour. This invites you to reflect on role models you follow, examples you adopt and underlying why.
The second step is to recognize how you superimpose beliefs onto people and situations. Consider why you choose to believe each person or thing is independent from you, and why perception of polarity arises. Notice how this triggers degrees of remembering.
The third step is to explore how to reduce your misconceptions. As you grow aware things do not quite jive inside, you are drawn to explore beneath the surface, to learn to see through assumption. For sample exercises as a guide: Self-Disclosure: Changes From Within.

I’ve just been over and re-read the comments per your link .. and the thing that stood out .. is the fact that we can pick up the book and just open it .. and a comment, an idea, a thought will be pertinent to our day .. it’s a continual pick up learning book, not a read through book and put away .. a really useful ‘reference’ tool .. exercises and all ... Thanks Liara – I look forward to getting to pick it up again in a more peaceful stage of life ... Hilary
