Move beyond the suffering

When you get upset, lose focus or balance, pay attention to what your emotions are telling you.  Stop giving credit to others for the way they seem to behave.  The world around you only ever responds based on your expectations.  Notice what happens when you are alone.  Notice what agitates you, makes you feel impatient.  Notice what happens as you separate yourself from source.  You cannot be mad at someone or be afraid of anything and be true to yourself.  Brace yourself: a conflict with anything is a conflict with yourself.  So, what can you do about it?

1) Stop allowing yourself to be offended.  Whatever offends you only weakens you.  Being offended creates the same destructive energy as that which is used to press your emotional buttons in the first place.  Monitor your thoughts and inner dialogue.  Nothing irritates you unless you allow it.  What to do? Stop resisting. Look deeper at the nature of your own suffering. It actually begins and ends with you.  The real issue is a yen to control the uncontrollable.

2) Let go of your need to be right.  You are conditioned to believe some people are right and others are wrong.  If you allow yourself to get agitated, you are disconnected from your loving, creative spirit.  Letting go of the need to be right helps you embrace kindness and gratitude for lessons at hand.  Imagine yourself in another's shoes.  Would you feel the same as you do in your own skin?  Would you behave in the same way or see more than one 'right way'?

3) Give up the desire to win, compete or be superior.  Whenever you get stirred up, and lose sight of inner peace, observe the ego.  As you let go of the desire to be better than others, you recall a feeling of calmness.  You begin to see all experience invites you to evolve within yourself, to see the nature of impermanence.  Give up any unwholesome state of mind.  Sadness, grief, fear, regret, and pity do not arise when you have true self-understanding. As you feel inner gentleness, you strengthen compassionate, wholesome states of mind.  Love reigns.  The heart knows all is always well, that everything is equal, that every situation is win-win for all. 

4) Know its all unfolding in divine order.  Whatever your role or stage in life, you attract the perfect conditions and people.  See things from a higher vantage point.  When people do not show up to assist you, then you have the skills, self-discipline and emotional intelligence to handle it on your own.  Before you judge others, ask yourself how you would deal with the situation from their perspective.  Only when you know the cause of suffering is that the end of suffering. You benefit others by nurturing a non-judging mind, and keeping an open heart.

5) Recognize you cannot separate wisdom from compassionYou know things as they truly are through your own direct experience.  The more you grasp reasons for your emotions and your own suffering, the more you understand the suffering of others. You strengthen a more conscious connection with all beings.  Be loving and kind toward yourself. Accept you are not who you think.  Forgive yourself.  Ask yourself questions and allow answers to emerge. Nothing fazes the essence of being. You can inspire people into a place of non-suffering by existing in this state.  Be present.  By direct inner seeing, you see what matters without study, logic or reason. 

"You can't suffer yourself into their understanding.  You have to succeed yourself into their success." -Esther Hicks

"Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit.  Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset."  - St Francis de Sales

It is all you

Brace yourself.  How you view life is like a gauge for your expectations.  It all comes back to conditioning, that is, what you assume you can do (or not).  If you believe all is imposed by your entourage and role models, you temporarily forget that ever-present inner companion called the ego.  Imagine what happens as limitations dissolve and doubt falls away.

Watch what happens as you realize that your perceptions shape your expectations.  Watch how you feel about and experience abundance as you alter how you view the world.  Notice how shifting from mental images of scarcity to prosperity is merely a thought away.  Feel directly how changing your thoughts raises esteem, self-worth and all you allow self to see.

"When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you." -Lao Tzu

See through your frustration

When you get angry, frustrated, upset or feel imbalanced, this is a sign from your soul that you are being selfish and controlling.  When you expect something you are not getting or wanting, and allow yourself to be emotional, you are living through the ego's filters.  Notice your own judgement.  Notice what happens as you accept everything that unfolds has perfect timing.  Reasons for frustration vanish.  Allow everything to be as it is. Let go of opinion. Simply watch.  Be neutral.  See things as they are right now.

“Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning do to do afterward.” -Kurt Vonnegut

What do you run away from?

What do you run away from? Why is this?  What difference does this make if nobody is there?

Notice whether you allow others to impose their world of emotions on you.  You can choose to deflect or transcend such things. Simply stop taking things personally.

Notice if you always seem to be busy and/or get your kids' schedules jam-packed. Why are you really avoiding solitude and silence? Watch what happens as you reach that unspoken threshold.  Life as you know it,  falls apart.  Nature takes things into its own hands.  The universe reminds you that you cannot avoid facing yourself forever.

When you are finally alone, and the mind is quiet, you, the "ego" disappears.  As you view this as a symbolic release of what is not you, you start to notice thought and awareness of thought. The desire to control thoughts and events is replaced with trust and awareness of feeling.  Fighting, conflict, competition all cease. This is the end of a sense of togetherness, loneliness and comparing. In fact, no other remains. How do you respond to nothing?

Whether or not you spend time with others, you can choose to be friends with yourself. When you run away from something, like during nightmares, a goal you doubt, a relationship or opportunity you deny yourself, fear of not being, getting or doing exerts a hold over you. 

As you stop looking for answers outside yourself, the loving heart melts that which blocks you from merging with everything.  How you relate to peace determines whether you allow yourself to be disturbed. Grasp how it is to be free.  You are the problem and solution.

"People often say that this or that person has not yet found himself. But the self is not something one finds, it is something one creates." -Thomas Szasz

"When you stop controlling things, you are not disturbing life, and life does not disturb you."
- Ajahn Brahm

At the threshold of the unknown

The moment you reach the threshold of the deeper unknown, nothing you are taught makes sense anymore. It is outgrown.  Intuition is the dependable compass in all areas of your physical life.  Awareness of the deeper journey arises when you begin to ask questions about the unknown and unknowable where no traditional answers exist.

Everything is felt as a bridge to love, to the recognition of the oneness of being. This is not the concepts mind would have you believe but is known through direct experience.  You may notice a guide during the journey, but such a guide cannot experience for you. Just like the presence of any mentor or inspiration, you come to sense each one is an extension of you.  Each one is reminding you that knowing complete acceptance and self-worth transforms your perceived life experience and what you sense beyond it.

The essence of being transcends any world you believe in or imagine.  The presence of being is in the world but not of it.  At the level of presence or awareness of real self, that which cannot be known, objectified or described, silence conveys timeless messages.  As you notice the stillness, this frees you from an illusions of ego that are never real to begin with. Fear of freedom is ultimately what keeps you focused on identifying with the person you think is you.  Be free and know what souls knows.

"The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind." -Kahlil Gibran
