Been thinking about my peace of mind and particularly my lack of it and its causes.
Could one of the possible "causes" of my lack of peace be my unconscious pre-decision that I really do not want peace? That I would not know how to navigate in my world without the constant undercurrent of fear, pain, victimization, discomfort, discontent, and disappointment?
Perhaps one option could be to 'wipe the slate clean' or 'lay aside' my unconscious goals.
One way I could practice consciously is when I notice that I am experiencing the effects of 'my unconscious goal' to remember that I have another choice and to recognize that I am just too afraid in this moment to let it go; nothing more.
Just by acknowledging what I am REALLY doing may be enough to take away any 'guilt' from my thought and what will be left will be peace.
Parting thought: just admitting to myself that I am just too afraid to give up my investment in specialness may be all I need to open up the door to lasting peace
Acknowledge the ego, but don't feed it.

ReplyDeleteIronically, I have had so many "problems" coming at me this week that I didn't have time until now to read your post. Hmmm...
