There are so many times in life when we are not true to ourselves. In fact most of us have become masters in ignoring our hearts desires and lying to ourselves. We have become used to identifying us with what our EGO wants. EGO wants money, power, success and alike whereas our heart just wants love.
Because this is the underlying basis of most modern societies it seems logical that as a consequence of this self denyal at the core there can be no real truthfulness on the surface in our every day lives. A very simple example of the untruthfulness we all have become used to is daily small talk such asĀ ”How are you? fine, thanks” when in fact most people are neither fine nor do they care if you are.
Whatever we decide is mostly based on EGO driven motifs that inevetabily lead to unhappiness and grief. EGO is addicted to sameness because a never ending circle of desires based on self denyal is empowering EGO. Thats why it seems so difficult for us to get out of this circle.
If however spiritual growth is what we are striving for then we need to consciuosly “cut the crap”. To grow spiritually means to dissolve issues and problematic situations and all other Karma that may be ours. It means to constantly grow and step beyond our limiting beliefs that might have been accumulated over millenia of monotony. Spiritual growth means to be strict and serious to yourself if it is about truthfulness and honesty.
To really grow spiritually requires radical honesty to oneself to stop any dishonesty.
There is no point telling yourself everything is fine and perfectly in peace and oneness if in fact you feel anger or sorrow deep inside but don’t allow it to surface due to some narrowminded esoteric beliefs.
Be radically honest to yourself. Only by doing so you may eventually start to also be fully honest with others.
Acknoledge what is going on inside you.
- If you hate someone
- feel anfry about something
- feel sorrow
- grief
- etc.
Be aware of it. there is no point in denying this. Only by acknowledging those seemingly unspiritual realities you will be able to transform them.
we all have some issues inside of us. No need to panic. That’s what we are here for. To figure all these things out dissolve them in love and surrender them to God.
It requires courage and power. Things may change and you may never be the same again because you screw your EGO so it dissolves. If you are really commited to your spiritual path and truly sincere then there is nothing to fear however.
Whatever causes pain causes pain to your Ego and is therefore another milestone on your way of dissolving your stuff.
Welcome challenges because they offer growth.
Welcome pain because it offers insight and transformation to a more love filled life.
There is no reason to be afraid of anything. Any fear is a proof of lacking faith in god and can be transcended either through painful stupid experiences or surrendering them to gods infinite ocean of love and forgiveness.
