Determination
I have found that creating emotional
distances with people who are a part of your life spells some measure of
weakness and fragility of the mind which may not want to accept its faulty
thinking and dark areas.
Spirituality speaks of being simple and
honest, precisely because both traits are to be internalised into the self
first.
Honesty asks a direct question and in a
simple way. “ are your being honest with yourself?” People think that honesty
means revealing private matters to others. Absolutely not !
If we want to live within our supreme
consciousness, we need to acknowledge with complete honesty, what we need to
change within ourselves. It is a part of self-speak. Nothing to do with others.
Secondly, the more simple we are in our
self speak exercise, the more effective we can be in accepting tge need to
change and the change itself.
I smile with compassion when I see people
obviously uncomfortable about their dark spaces and running away from them. It
never helps ! On the contrary, it complicates your inner self and your
relationships as well.
There is so much to study, analyse and
internalise by meditating on it.
As someone said, unfortunately, there will always be less thinkers who take the trouble to look for their “ is ness”. Others will just hang between the illusory and maybe, mere glimpses of the actual reality.
The awareness, the determination to go
beyond the seen takes time, perhaps a few lives , provided we set the seeker
goals in stone.
So be it !

Emotional Dependence
A constant emotional dependence on people is a sign of not being able to live with oneself comfortably. Wanting company , wanting to party ... no harm in that. But your well being should be always under your control. And that’s where we do slip up.
In everyone’s life, some decisions made did
not work too well. And there were consequences. They may have resulted in being
single, or wounded through a relationship gone wrong.. whatever.
The issue is , we should have analysed our
thought processes to understand enough to avoid mistakes in future. But life
happens in repeated patterns if we are not careful , and then the wounds become
deep and bitterness might set in.
Not worth it ! At all ! A way to catharsis
would be to remove all such energy , imagine a fire in front of you, and
surrender all such toxins to the fire. It is a process that provides instant
relief. A regular practice can mitigate a lot of the self imposed misery.
And then start afresh, whatever your
chronological age ! It doesn’t matter.
