Are You Apathy, Grief, Fear, Lust, Anger or Pride?
Most of us live as though we are apathy, grief, fear, lust, anger, and pride… not that we’re even having those feelings, we ARE them. As you let go, you start to see through that illusion and that seeing through is quite normal and natural. In the beginning, because there’s such momentum behind our belief that we are apathy, grief, fear, lust, anger or pride, we keep going back to those feelings even when they are not there. We generate more of this suffering. We look for more trouble.
Most of us don’t accept that’s what we truly are courageousness, acceptance and peace. We think that these feelings may come from time to time if we’re really good or really lucky or we’ve done a lot of good work, or some other story like that. But what you’ll discover as you keep letting go and as you explore all the exercises and perspective that we’ll be doing together this week that those positive energy states don’t require maintenance.
Apathy, grief, fear, lust, anger, and pride do require maintenance. It takes a lot of energy for unlimited Beingness to confine itself to those particular points of view, those particular body-minds that most of you think you are. Why do you think you’re exhausted at night? Because it requires so much energy to constrict unlimited Beingness into one particular point of view.
I recommend you just stay open to the process. Also, I suggest that no matter how good or how bad it has appeared so far in “your” life, or with any particular process including releasing, have the attitude of so what? Be open to how it is now… and now… and now. Okay? Good…
