What if?
What if I told you that studies, news, societal opinions are wrong about identifying problems and their origins?
What if we're seriously misplacing the focus of attention?
Because, yes, this is an attention issue,
Discernment, to be exact.
Yoga has opened me to other perceptions of reality that I share with you.
Now, are you ready to test your openness ?
What if you don't exist the way you think you do?
That when you were born you saw a tree and identified with it all your life.
The tree is in front of you and you live through it thinking of it.
Do you get it?
It's a habit that's so ingrained in you, you're so absorbed in that tree that you've never had the opportunity to ask yourself:
Am I really the tree?
Because, to ask this question, you must first become aware of the tree,
Distinguish him.
Then we dig deeper.
Who can tell the tree from who?
Now, what if it wasn't just you?
Everybody thinking they're a tree?
So that every decision they make is what they think is a tree?
Imagine the damage.
Not only do you think you're meeting the tree's needs...
- that is not possible because you're not it.
You create needs by thinking: I am the tree so I want this, I think like this and I act like this -
In addition, you are not aware of the impact of your actions (choices).
By thinking of yourself as a tree and responding to needs that you have created the entire ecosystem is affected.
Now,
The tree corresponds to thoughts.
What you think you are, are your thoughts.
When you become aware of them and then detach yourself from them...
(through the realization and understanding that they are not you, nor your reality),
You find out who you are.
That's when everything changes.
You realize that your whole identity, what you thought was true, was based only on thoughts.
You are amazed to discover that not only did you live your whole life through them, but that they were just a grain of sand in a much larger reality,
You're more than just thoughts,
- Infinite creation -
From this point on you act with knowledge of your essence.
Naturally your actions will all be directed for the well-being of life.
I will write another article on the origin and mechanisms of the ego.
What is ego? Where does it come from? How does it work? Why is there one? etc
In the meantime, I hope you enjoyed and are interested in this article.
I'll see you next time.
