We seem to spend a lot of time an energy focused on worldly concerns...whether they be physical/material, social, intellectual, emotional...and comparatively little time trying to get to know who we really are. Even our spiritual practices are often about feeling better and dealing with worldly problems as opposed to discovering our true nature as expressions of Love and spiritual beings. And then we wonder why we are not happy, fulfilled, at peace, nor experiencing harmonious and intimately connected relationships.
Michael Singer suggests dealing with the mind not the world...dealing with the mind so that we can move beyond it into a higher expression of Self.
I am learning to allow my issues/blockages to arise as life unfolds. I am learning to let these situations have their way with me. I am a diamond in the rough. If I authentically open to what is in front of me, then each situation will chip away at this self and bring me closer to realizing the diamond within.
More and more I am looking for this diamond within myself and others. The focus is less about making things right, and, more about joining with the flow of life which is leading me back to my True Self. The alternative to realizing our true nature is to stay stuck in this false identity (aka, bloated-nothingness) bumping up against other false selves as we struggle with and through life. No thank you.
Instead I ask myself again and again:
Who am I? Who am I? Who am I?
