Acting and roles

Posted on by philipdodson

When the story of ‘little me’, or more often ‘poor little me’, takes over then our life and those of others around will suffer from our mind and its ego. The victim is the drama of the story and all about how something affects us and the fragility of the ego needs to be defended.

When we live as our true essence, from our soul, without the need to act out a role or story, then we can be at peace and others too.

The roles we play are where disappointment, attachment, expectation, burden and suffering live.

Don’t act just be.

True freedom

Don’t be fooled by your mind into thinking you have to play out different roles in life according to where you are or who you are with or what you are doing.

So when you are at a shop, you do not have to be a ‘customer’ or when you are at home you do not have to be a ‘mother’ or when you are at work, you don’t have to be ‘an employee’ or ‘the boss’.

If we allow ourselves just to be, the real you and I comes from the soul, from our true essence and is the same whatever we are doing or whoever we are with. We are not bound by the story, the ego, the mind’s tricks.

That is true freedom…pure consciousness and being, just being.
