True self

Posted on by philipdodson

For connections and relationships with other people to work and be true, we do not need to change who we are. We need to be our true self, we need to be 100% ourself. Not the many roles that our ego wants us to act out.

If others are unable to be comfortable with us being our true essence then it is not our challenge.

It does not mean that we have to be hostile as that is the action of the mind and its ego. We can be respectful for of others but at the same time being true to ourself.

When we are clear to others that we respect our true essence then others will reciprocate and respect us.

Stuff, who needs that shit?

Possession aren’t the route to happiness.

They are the way to burden and suffering. We attach ourselves to them and then we suffer and fear the loss of them.

Our ego uses them as a weapon of superiority.

We can step away from this burden at any point. It’s a choice we can all make. We can unlearn the conditioning of the consumer society.

Joy is a choice, it is the path, the route. It comes from our very essence and soul. However, it is clouded when we seek happiness from the external world.

When we allow joy to flow we realise there is no need to accumulate possessions. It is a never ending route to suffering within, as whatever we accumulate there can bc always be more or someone who has bigger or better stuff. We become dissatisfied in search for happiness in the hollowness of materials.
