Day 515 | Living my Utmost Potential VS. Perfection NOW! - “But what if I can’t?”







I am continuing from my previous blog post, still in the context of the first point in my Declaration of Principle which reads: 1.  Realizing and Living my Utmost Potential


From my previous post:
Suppression = 
not dealing with / directing what comes up in the moment in real-time.
...Later I was looking at what 'logic' my mind uses to 'support' suppression, perpetuating the lethargy energy and creating friction/conflict within myself.


So here I’m now continuing with the point I was looking at - the 'logic' used by the mind.

What I found is that within the condition of 'wanting a quick fix' - meaning: imagine yourself hovering above yourself with a whip and going "Perfection NOW!, come on, give it to me!", wanting everything to be PERFECT NOW, immediately, as if by magic - I was not approaching the points practically, really taking into consideration the practical steps required to be walked in the process of 'perfecting' a certain aspect/point in my life and experience;
I was merely thinking "yes I can do it" but then not moving immediately practically to take the small steps (here again the 'judgment' as 'small' is worth investigating, to make sure we don't underestimate things because fact is that big things are created through small steps) - but instead going into resistance and becoming more 'lethargic', suppressing literally my life force, my ability to move and direct things/myself, the ability to determine and change my experience and my living.

So - looking into what actually happens within me the moment I 'decide' not to ‘go for it’ (whatever it is that I'm dealing with) but to instead suppress/ignore it for now and distract myself - I found the resonance of the thought "what if I can't do it".

So what I saw myself doing in relation to particular points in my life was: projecting something in the future as a goal/change which I'd define as 'more'/'better'/'superior' and wanting it NOW - then going "but where is it", then "okay I can do it - I just need to do it, just do it" -- then instead of immediately moving myself to take small practical steps towards that goal, I'd suppress it and resonantly give-in to the resistance in a response like saying "what if I can't - better not find out that I can't, better give up now, at least there I know who I am" -- and right there I'd re-enter the point of self-judgment / self-diminishment and then guilt, which I realized at some point had become my driving force --- WTF !!!

I forgive myself that I've accepted and allowed myself to feel ashamed upon realizing that guilt had become my driving force after I had pushed myself down.

I forgive myself that I've accepted and allowed myself to be trapped in 'morality' wherein I have looked at myself and my world from a perspective of 'good'/'bad', 'worthy'/'unworthy', 'inferior'/'superior', 'doing the right thing'/'not doing the right thing', etc. - wherein I had even created a kind of self-doubt and uncertainty which I noticed the mind system utilized to further drive myself into self-diminishment and inferiority - basically within that victimizing self. Now if that is not the definition of self-abuse!

I forgive myself that I've accepted and allowed myself to abuse myself as in eg. ignoring my physical body and caring for myself and bullying myself in my mind using 'morality' -- instead of realizing what self-honesty is == which is the fundamental relationship with ourselves - who we are within ourselves.

Therefore I forgive myself that I've accepted and allowed myself to hide myself from myself, to suppress myself and to judge and punish myself, being self distractive and thus also destructive - instead of being self constructive and supporting myself in the small, physical steps in real time that it takes to approach myself, life, and living in a considerate, caring, supportive and holistic way, wherein I do take the moment to see and assess what it is I am supporting with my participation at any given moment: the conditioned mind designs that exist in separation/fear/conflict; or the life force in me as that which strives for perfection as life, as living, exploring, expanding, and participating in everything it is in contact with from a starting-point of equality and oneness.

I forgive myself that I've accepted and allowed myself to sabotage myself using suppression - not realizing that everything I suppress / miss directing in the moment == accumulates/remains and results to a 'heavy load' that I 'carry' wherein I'd then often give-in to a lethargic energy, as if drowning under the 'load' that I'm carrying.
I forgive myself that I've accepted and allowed myself to distract myself to not have to take responsibility for what is here at any given moment.

I forgive myself that I've accepted and allowed myself to suppress the minutest movement as reaction/energy/thought/emotion within me, and within this I forgive myself that I've accepted and allowed myself to judge and categorize what comes up within me as 'big'/'important' and 'small'/'meaningless', instead of realizing that my perception of the 'size' of a point very much correlates with my awareness of it and my willingness to look at it, see it for what it is, and direct it in self-responsibility.

Within this, I commit myself to support myself in this practical approach / application of: becoming aware of a point, looking at it directly, seeing it for what it is - without judgment, quilt or any kind of morality - and directing it based on the principle of oneness and equality and best-for-all common sense.

  
I forgive myself that I haven't allowed myself to see/realize/understand that me not wanting to look at something indicates me not wanting to see a part/aspect of me that this something (and/or my response toward it) represents or shows/mirrors;
therefore I forgive myself that I've accepted and allowed myself to distract myself into 'what I know' as my conditioning and 'how I can control' MY world, creating a kind of comfort zone in my mind and within how I move in my world where apparently 'I am in control' or 'I know who I am' - but when something challenges my self belief then I as the mind become defensive, which I can also see as within/as resistance – eg. resistance to change, as if in fear of loss.

I forgive myself that I've accepted and allowed myself as a living being in awareness to subject myself into a mind/system and to be kept distracted/preoccupied in a mind system that is limited to its programming; and within that I forgive myself that I’ve accepted and allowed myself to keep myself from expanding / exploring / considering, and to keep myself from considering the words ‘expanding’, ‘exploring’ and ‘consideration’ within my definition and application of: living.

I commit myself to nurture myself as a living being in awareness, by living/being 'here' in awareness, being honest with/within myself, slowing down and allowing myself to use the tools that are here to assist and support myself as life to understand and direct myself, and to explore, expand and broaden my consideration and therefore also my awareness, taking responsibility for the influence I realize I have within my world -
as I see the influences I have responded to throughout my life and how that has formed and shaped 'who I am', simplistically through my direct or implied acceptance and allowance.

I commit myself to include in my awareness our interconnectedness and thus mutual influence as human beings, as I see that within this I am able to a) learn a lot about myself (in terms of understanding what influences me / what I react to and why) and b) utilize this awareness to see other human beings in equality and oneness so as to best assist and support them in their life and processes while taking responsibility for the influence I have on them /their life.

I commit myself to challenge the logic of my own mind (my justifications, fears, and other limitations) and measure it against self-honesty - self-honesty being where I ask myself the question: What am I doing? Who am I within what I think/speak/do in this moment - at any given moment; and answer this question for myself in the moment, wherein I give myself the opportunity to direct the moment, to take responsibility, to be the directive authority, to be the directive sense, the self directive will as awareness that brings forth a 'best for all' outcome/outflow/solution - and that includes myself - what's best for me.

Someone once shared with me something which I saw as a cool definition of self-honesty: "Eternity is in every moment ... everything is always here ... at any given moment/decision/situation place yourself at the end of time, stand and check: Can I live with these thoughts/words/deeds extended to this or that or these people or those people, or even myself? Can I look them all in the eye, can I look myself in the eye?"
I can see within this that we are able to place ourselves within a bigger context than just oneself, and not just from an ‘altruistic’ point of view – but for real. I am able to embrace responsibility as power, as self expansion and exploration, wherein my self, that which is my self-interest, starts expanding to include more of life, to include practical common sense and space-time consideration, to include the consideration and regard for others; I realize the my responsibility of who and how I am extends beyond just myself, in fact to every person I meet / interact with.

I commit myself to expand myself by expanding my consideration and responsibility, both for myself as a human being / physical body on earth and for other beings in my world equally, from the starting-point of how can each be/become the best one can be, how can each enhance their life experience and contribution, their life awareness and strength of character as well as communication skills, and how we can work together to change the human condition and enhance human nature and the nature of life and living.

In other words, how we can live to our utmost potential so as to within that also bring HUMANITY to manifest its utmost potential, and live that real humanity into beingness, into creation, into a ‘new existence’ where LIFE is the value and ALL are empowered to live and flourish, ALL FREE to express and explore. That would be heaven on earth, wouldn’t it?

Day 514 | Realizing my Utmost Potential VS. Suppression & Lethargy







Following the interview series on Lethargy recently and how this construct/system of/as Lethargy functions and works within one's mind and physical, I came to re-assess my definition of 'suppression' as well as my relationship to this point: 'suppression'.

This is also in the context of the first point in my Declaration of Principle which reads: 1. Realizing and Living my Utmost Potential
Now, looking at how I have approached my ‘utmost potential’ throughout my life, I’d like to share what I’ve found so that others who may be facing similar points and experiences can be assisted too.

So, back to the point of ‘suppression’: 
First interesting thing I noticed is that we react to the word 'suppression' (spoken or heard or read) with suppression, lol, as if immediately we KNOW that we ARE suppressing ourselves and because this suppression literally exists within a form of hiding, of ignoring, of not wanting to see, we in that moment react to the word 'suppression' with suppression, with taking a step back within ourselves as if this regards everyone else but not ourselves.

Another interesting thing is that we tend to look at suppression as only being about 'suppressing our feelings' or not allowing ourselves to express freely. Then we tend to blame others or think/believe that it's because who others are that we are how we are (within this obviously we abdicate responsibility and thus all power to change our experience whatsoever.)
We also tend to see 'suppression' as this 'big thing', this 'big load' that we've been swallowing and keeping within ourselves and carrying around, that which makes as heavy - well yes, it may be and have become that; Yet within such fixed perception we limit ourselves and are not allowing ourselves to see the small, minute moments where we suppress, where a thought will come up or an emotional experience will come up or any issue or problem and we somehow make the decision to not deal with it now. Because we don't want to see it - it 'ruins' the image we hold onto as ourselves, as 'who we are'. And so we suppress.

So through that, I came to a simple definition of what suppression is, as in:

Suppression = not dealing with / directing what comes up in the moment in real-time

Later I was looking at what 'logic' my mind uses to 'support' suppression, perpetuating the lethargy energy and creating friction.

One thing I find important that we understand is that, the inner friction/conflict and the balancing-out of our inner polarities (and that is regardless whether we are a happy/positive person or a negative person) is what creates the energy that 'feeds' our preprogrammed design, our mind consciousness system, our conditioning. Worse yet, lol, it is in fact the mind consciousness system itself (and this each one can observe and verify for oneself) - through our non-participation , through our apathy, acceptance and allowance - that constantly recreates the designs that keep it 'alive', that recreates the patterns that define it, that make it exist. And that is our EGO - be it a 'positive'/'good' person or a negative/bad person. I have written before (and this one can also reference one's own experiences with people and relationships) about how even when the mind goes into and defines itself as 'inferior', the 'victim', 'poor me' etc. = that this is also an act of EGO, an act of "what about ME?!"
So what I'm saying is that who we are as a mind consciousness system will always fight for our limitations, will always be self-righteous, will always fear loss and seek some kind of 'grandeur' or 'specialness'. When we now, within ourselves in awareness, start questioning our conditioned patterns, beliefs, definitions, how we look at things, at ourselves, at other people: the mind is going to 'react', is going to go into a 'defense and protection' mode. Because however we ARE the mind and have been the mind to the most extent of our beingness and existence, WE are the ones 'reacting' to ourselves changing, expanding, questioning, becoming the directive principle within ourselves and our existences. It's as if the mind has a 'life' of its own - yet it's only a program, a system.
 Now the question is: who are WE gonna be? Who am I going to be? Will I allow an automated pilot to navigate my life and self experience where I can see that most patterns I have developed are limiting? Or will I break through my conditioned patterns and move myself to explore, investigate, question, and determine who I am and can be, what I will accept and allow and what I will not accept and allow in the name of LIFE that is me.

Ok – that was a lot of compact info there so I'll leave it at that, perhaps as a concise context of what this is all about.

To be continued.



"Self as Eternal, as Real Does Not Exist until You are in fact Life and that is Evidenced in All of Everything that You are a part-of, where you completely Understand All Form, All Mechanisms, All Relationships – Until then, Self is just Potential and May Never Exist for Real – but in this Temporary Consciousness for a Moment, you’ll be Able to Look in a Mirror and Ask the Question “Mirror, Mirror on the Wall: What is the Self in it All?” and Unless that Stands Clear Eternally that This is Life: There will be No Self For Real."
