>>> SELF REFLECTION <<<


_____________________________________________________________FUTURE ________

Ideas, beliefs, people, relationships, friendships... it is in
the nature of things that the old must die to make room
for the new.

The extent to which we embrace this transforming process
determines whether the future is worth striving for or not.
Just 'new' does not make it right and worth it....

_____________________________________________________SWEET & BITTER________

The SELF has a wonderful sweet taste. When we love or
'are-in-love', we look straight into our own self. Refined
sugar is sweet too, but no substitute for it! Far too often
we try to avoid 'bitter'.

Work and decision-making take place in the liver and
gallbladder. To cope with food and life, we need lots
of bitter substances,... for protection, digestion.

Nature is Wise: Wild-honey is always bittersweet....😋😛

Daily Grind

Time and again,
I have all sorts of flashes of inspiration and interesting dreams.
I rarely manage to remember them. When I reflect on them in bed,
I often find myself locked back inside my ‘EGO-building’
-- can not help but only think ‘from-the-inside-out’.

Can not help but only think...

...the solution to all the problems we see in the world around
us begins with letting go of ALL JUDGEMENT. The wise people
I have had the privilege of meeting along my path have smiled
at this point and added, that it is good to apply this to one’s
own problems as well.

...you could not get further from the truth if you think, I am
writing about someone else. All that Nonsense & Delusion
was experienced by me. Apparent rejections of someone
are nothing more than admissions of my own behaviour.

Cold facts ... from a very intense and long life.

THANK YOU

.....and, please allow to say that:
If we accept these "cold facts" in the way,
that we go in inner confrontation with us,
we can gain personal development.

I thank you!

...as I understand it today, life is something like an ocean. You’re only
truly part of it, truly incarnated, once you leave the shallows – and
naturally, that will bring with it intense experiences.

Like the ocean, life can be incredibly gentle and lovely... but quite
honestly, that really isn’t the be-all and end-all. Perhaps we are
here to learn and to realise, that we must experience EVERYTHING?

How, for example, can you understand someone who has lost a
loved one if you only ever engage with what is supposedly beautiful?

Or, what about passion? Yes, passion creates the framework for hurt.
Completely exclude it because of that? What a cruelly boring notion.




I see where the ship takes me; sometimes that is on rough waters, sometimes on calm waters.

We are told that the ego must be transcended. Reality, of course,
looks quite different. No matter where we look, everywhere we
see imbalances created by the ego(maniac). Perhaps it is time for
a somewhat more nuanced perspective? Must one not at least
‘have’ something first -- in order to transcend it?

On the other hand... even if you succeed in inflating your ego,
infecting others with it, and perhaps manage to build a small
empire, you will always remain nothing more than a tiny grain
of sand, capable only of controlling a small stretch of sandy
beach.

When you have realised your true self, you will recognise that
the entire universe is your body and is sustained by love and
compassion.

...we 'too often' believe that we need ‘this’ or must first achieve
‘that’... in order to be truly happy. With this mindset, we spend
our lives in a railway station or an airport... without ever
experiencing anything else in the region.

However, I love railway stations and airports. Watching people is,
form tim eto time, better than most films. Sometimes, absolutely
brilliant conversations develop. Why? Well, in such places, time is
usually very limited, and if the people involved get on quite well,
reservations are viewed differently or are set aside.

For me, PPG is a bit like an airport, and I simply follow my instinct.
I have also found a little spot where 'travellers' do indeed come to
seek me out... yes, there are some brilliant exchanges too.

In real live or here ... the moment is what counts.

___________________________________________________________________EXPERIENCE______

Experience is not an abstract sum of everything
that happens to us. Rather, it is reflected in the
way we deal with life’s situations.

All causes of illness lie deep within or in the unconscious. It is there
in the subtlest realms of the intellect, that decisions about life and
death are made. A healer who does not inhabit these realms is of
little help and a patient who fears death can hardly be healed.


Communication

You know, deep down, you haven’t the faintest idea what the person
you are talking to is on about? Well, instead of spending all your time
trying to cover this up with all sorts of ‘information’ and ‘arguments’,
you could simply pause for a moment. If, on top of that, you manage
to open yourself up to an aspect of life that was previously completely
unknown to you, you’ll create a very favourable framework for growth.

> It always becomes interesting or beneficial when you
examine your own viewpoints and convictions.

The box is made of yew wood and the lid was crafted from small pieces of
end grain. Normally, we saw a tree trunk lengthways. However, it is also
possible to use the cross-section, which reveals the tree’s growth rings.
This naturally produces completely different patterns.

This forum was created when I didn't have access to the Internet. Now I saw it and I'd like to say this box had been made very carefully, "thoughtfully" and beautifully.

It indeed indicates the "great deal of skill, experience, patience and a willingness to transform".

Thank you for sharing the beauty ...

Ideas, beliefs, people, relationships, friendships... it is in the nature of things that the old must die to make room for the new...

So must thou go again into solitude: for thou shalt yet become mellow.”

Not sure about that.

It is possible only for those who are ABLE to put what they learn into practice.

Otherwise, they are condemned to suffer from the same cold fact on several occassions until they die... no... until they are able to change in one of reincarnations...

What is this OWN SELF?


... Who am I?

I had not seen it this way!


Another opportunity to challenge/ improve the Perception!
