Self-Protection

I think this is the journey of many souls who have gone out with joy to help and connect and found themselves just “used”. I know no one gets “used” without their own permission. But it takes time for the givers to realize that they have been used. The reasons could be many, like love and caring, giving generously or then wanting something in return.

Ultimately, as we grow in years, our experiences either rejuvenate us or exhaust us. And in the latter, we are so debilitated in our energy that we prefer withdrawing contact from those who have been energy vampires in our lives. That also becomes a form of self-protection and healing.

Battle of Light and Darkness

 Light-workers have to contend with a lot of darkness around them. Sometimes, their light can shine so bright that the people around them get blinded and do NOT like this experience of blindness. Therefore, they try and cut down the light of the light workers. As they did in the case of Jesus Christ and many others.

Tell me, hasn’t it always been a battle of light and darkness in this world? There have been only phases when light dominates, later superseded by darkness subduing the light.

One fact however, emerges strongly. The natural emergence is of light. It contributes to the illumination of the mind and heart.

Visualize light within our chakras and aura, purifying the people. The outcome is naturally an illuminated radiance which envelopes large areas, removing darkness from within and without.

And yet, the part which is in our shadow needs work, that of carving it out and healing it with light.

What can be said about people who find it pleasurable to dwell in darkness? To think, speak and act selfishly and without a thought for anyone except themselves? And some, in deep ignorance, even claim to be in the light!

Actually, light illuminates everything and everyone and it is impossible then to live just for yourself.

Can we perhaps look at ourselves sometime? Or are we happy talking about others and denying our increasing dark spaces happily? Living the grand illusion!

Perspective

 There is no healing like a free and fair discussion between two people who have had an issue. You should value a relationship enough to keep the bonds going.

Always opt to build a bridge first. There is never any point in being drastic. And always try to see the other point of view. Even if you don’t agree with each other, talk it out, understand that perspectives are different, amicably agree to disagree and close the episode. With a little love and caring, you can do so. This attitude has maturity.

Of course, there is always the usual ego reaction which borders on the breaking of ties. This is rampant but very sad. It need not be.

This world is suffering from a major disconnection. And it is not doing humanity much good. Old ties are breaking and new ones forming. A natural family is getting diluted and friends are being called “extended family”. Isn’t that contradictory, this calling friends “family” when the original family is being torn apart? Ironic!

Our thinking is so topsy turvy, we don’t realize it’s all negative thought inspired by the ego, and nothing else.

Quote of the day

 

Wisdom

 

There is never any end to discovering new aspects of our self every day. We are so unlimited actually but still so limited when it comes to our conscious mind dealings. Our awareness is basically confined to what our senses can discern.

When we look beyond, we see a sub conscious mind which holds our many secrets! Many memories! Much lingering feelings we have not healed.

So it is that we suffer, due to the triggers that force a certain kind of behavior. And it seems to bubble up from nowhere.

Healing becomes difficult when we either think wrong or have no time for reflecting. Or even when we hold onto everything we should drop immediately.

Wisdom is the only answer. That dawns when we start looking into and accepting ourselves. Only then, having seen our flaws, will we have the incentive to correct them.

This won’t happen unless we bare ourselves to ourselves.

Process of healing

 

Sometimes, in order to heal, you have to let your heart break into a million pieces first. And accept that it is so.

So many generalisations ! So many pre conceived notions ! And an equal amount of expectations ! Certainly not a good recipe for living life.

So, wake up to the trigger and start the process of healing. It is called balance, equanimity and realising our own intrinsic nature, independent and not beholden to any soul, yet connected to all.

Motivation

 A huge realisation that this pandemic has forced into us is , just how much valuable time we have wasted and lost in pursuing just worldly pleasures, if I can call them pleasures in my mistaken sense of perception.

And I don’t mean for a moment that one must not enjoy life. It is just that our definition of enjoyment has become very meaningless and unspiritual. We find enjoyment in trivia, meaning that there is not much value prevalent in certain activities. Trivia that sometimes brings out the worst in us.

Can I learn to balance my day to include a balance of these ? It is commonplace to quote,” all work and no play….”. But that is not accurate in this case.

Seekers of higher truths are few and far between but if goodness can be brought in within the realm of spirituality, then that is definitely a start.

Next, we must define goodness. To me, it is defined by a single line: “do unto others as you would have others do unto you”. Eliminate double or multiple standards to embark on a rightful path first.

Think before you dole out anything but goodness, because this is what you also expect from others. So, you cannot superimpose your will on anyone.

But we do it all the time.. people think they are good but what they do has nothing to do with goodness… all kinds of reasons and excuses taint our intrinsic goodness. And the worst part is, we tend to justify our actions all the time.

I would definitely say that if we start with a little bit of self healing ( and there are innumerable techniques available) , we can start a process which will certainly benefit us. The intention is first. Next is motivation and then commitment.

So be it !Surekha Kothari
