Guest guest Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 This is advanced practice... I'm probably not ready to let go of the concept of I, even though I would love to. But I want to do the work on it anyway... Belief: There Is An I 1- true? Yes 2- can I really know? no 3- how do I react? I worry about my safety, my looks, my 'needs'... I spend an exorbitant amount of time planning for these things, strategizing, getting upset if it isn't going 'my' way... I feel separate from people so I get upset when other people aren't 'nice' to me, don't give me positive attention. Feeling competetive because 'I' is not 'You'... and I care more about 'I' than 'You'... this brings all sorts of stress, resentments, jealousies, pity... 4- without this thought? There would be a feeling of unity with all... so many negative things from my life would be gone. It leaves me breathless to even think of them all... I wouldn't take attacks personally, I wouldn't worry about who is 'better or worse'... I would be more interested in helping others, because they are me and I am them (it would be like if my arm hurt... if there was anything my leg could do to help it, it certainly would)... I wouldn't search for joy or love from others, because there is no separation... I could just as easily give it to myself... It would be revolutionary. It would be the end of war. It would be peace. Love. Joy. Turnaround: There is No 'I' (truer... now if I could just wrap my head around it. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
