Anyone else feeling challenged these days?
Maybe by external events or it might be internal. For me it seems to be both. Two weeks ago I came to the conclusion that right now isn´t really a good time for me to take on anything big, be it enlightenment or a relationship. As a single mum I need to play it small. But life events keep on pushing me towards opening up my thinking, expressing my feelings and act more and more in accordance with my deepest values.
And writing that I realize, that maybe because I have been on this path of enlightenment for so long, its inevitable that any event has the potential to bring forth more truth and more clarity. Since my mind is set on seeing the truth, any time a story pops up inside my head I look at it closely. Taking nothing that my mind conjures up as true.
This also extends to others. To acknowledge that all we do is project our own perspectives on the world means seeing both my own projections and the projections of others very clearly. And doing that opens the mind up to new possibilities in every interaction. Its literally mindblowing.
Could you do that? What would it be like to see everything that comes out of your mouth or someone elses mouth as projections? One persons perspective, out of six billion perspectives. Who is entitled to claim they speak the truth?
This requires deep humility to the mystery of life. Seeing that we are participants of something greatly larger than our own little world. Can you do that? Can you bow to the complexity of this Universe? To expand into infinite possibilities? Going deep, going beyond. What is true? What is truth?
