Telling

It’s funny how good we are at telling others what to do, say, think, how to behave, what to eat, how to speak, what to wear, what job to do, and so on. We never run out of an opinion.

Yet when we are on the receiving end of others telling us we do not like it. We feel restricted, we feel coerced, we fell controlled. Strange that we then do that internally to ourselves too, the voice of authority that the mind uses.

If we live free from forming opinions of others and ourselves, we live free and we allow others the same.

Don’t tell just be.

Lenses

The lenses we choose to see the world through are based on a judgement of others and ourselves that stems from our mind. They completely shape how we see things and the actions of others. They also affect our own self-esteem and worth.

If we stay conscious and in the moment that is now, that means away from our mind and evaluation, then all the lenses are removed and we see the world clearly as it is without any taint.
