I see a lot of content out there bashing on the teachings of others.
This is a great example of where connection to self should always be #1
There’s a lot of noise out there. A lot for the mind to get sucked into. A lot for the solar plexus to feel charged up about.
I do get emotionally charged when I see huge bodies of work, individual lived experiences, and certain perspectives being completely destroyed by some and ripped apart. Yes, there are controversial teachings out there. We always want to be aware of cult-like behavior and allowing our emotions and mind to be steered in one way or another that may not serve us. There are warriors out there questioning and being skeptical. We need that as a collective.
Emotional energy takes time to reach depth and clarity. I don’t even know how I really feel about something until I’ve sat with it for at least 1-2 days. If I react based on my emotional charge, I will be met with resistance time and time again. Hell, I start to resist myself. I get tired of that reactivity within myself.
What works for someone might not work for you. I love the phrase “not my circus, not my monkeys” when I see a bunch of calamity and accusation going on within a community. I’ve gotten so much from so many teachings it’s hard for me to be firm on right vs wrong
There are certain people that are meant to question things, be skeptical, dig deep and get to the foundation of where something originated and access problems and corrections that need to be made. It’s okay if I don’t agree with their assessment. Idk what their lived experience is. Idk the work they’ve put in to understand the conclusions they’ve come to. My open head center is practicing saying “I don’t know and I don’t care” because otherwise I will make it my business when it doesn’t need to be.
I take a strong stance on always following your own internal guidance. If it’s your work in this lifetime to investigate and question, power to you. I trust that you know what’s right for you.
And then my melancholic side is over here like - what’s the purpose to any of this? I’m bored, bring me something new😂🤷🏻♀️
