Our true self

Posted on by philipdodson

The path opens up with each new step, the path will light up if we are brave, courageous and vulnerable enough to keep walking it.

The wild woods are scary, the dessert is baron, the dark is unknown, but if we are really willing to be true to ourselves, to be patient, to find true belonging and to act only from the heart and abandon the ego, the minds sabotaging thoughts and to allow our true essence to flow and our own light to shine then that is the real state of being.

To be love, to be joy, to just be our authentic true self, to be at peace and at one with all that is and not to continue to live as this separate person that the mind constructed for us.

Walking away

Posted on by philipdodson

If you walk away from an argument, if you resist a fight, if let go even when you do not agree, is that weakness? Or is, in fact, the very opposite?

We see arguing, fighting, being opinionated, aggression, dominating others and so on as strength. We see being ‘in-charge’ as leadership. Perhaps leadership is actually setting an example for others to be inspired by.

It is the weakness of the mind and the vulnerability of our self-image that causes us to fight, argue, become aggressive, behave badly to defend the things that do not matter and are in fact not real, but a fabrication of our minds. Minds fighting with other minds verbally and physically, and to what ends? A winner and loser. In fact, all parties suffer, there never needs to be a winner or a loser.

What if we could see walking away as a strength, would we have a better world?
