Patience allows growth

Posted on by philipdodson

No matter how awake we think we are, how enlightened, how conscious…we all are human, we all get controlled by our mind, our ego, we become the reaction, we become the emotion.

It’s OK, it’s a lifetime of conditioning that we are trying to unravel.

However, when it impacts on others and we are aware of it, then a sorry, a hug and an explanation of our behaviour always helps.

Enlightenment and spiritualism are not about being superior, that is yet another ego and story, it is about being aware and taking things lightly, accepting what is and that includes accepting ourselves and what we are and that we will behave in ways that contradict that.

When we give that space and allow it to be, it resolves itself and goes away. When we resist anything, it only expands and deepens…it won’t go away all the time we resist.

Patience allows growth.

Consequences

Posted on by philipdodson

We create everything individually that occurs in our life and the collective of humans creates the world and all that we encounter and occurs.

There are no victims, only in the story of ‘poor little me’, which is created by the mind’s ego. A self-defence mechanism of the fragile ego to protect itself from being responsible for anything that didn’t go to plan.

We are obsessed with making the ‘right’ choice. This is driven by the mind and its ego always wanting to be right, so it can feel superior, but fearing to be wrong then makes it others fault and so the victimhood begins.

We choose everything that happens, there are no right or wrong choices but there are always outcomes and consequences of our choices. If we didn’t become obsessed by the mind and its desire to be right, we’d follow our true essence and soul and accept the consequences without fear.
