Thoughful Thursdays #52 Resistance

Posted on by

Steven Pressfield is one of my favorite writing idols. He writes about resistance all the time and is incredibly insightful. Resistance is something I struggle with all the time.

I  will paraphrase his discussion with Rabbi Finley and resistance. Rabbi Finley said: “There is a second self inside you-an inner shadow Self.  This self doesn’t care about you. It doesn’t love you. It has its own agenda, and it will kill you. It will kill you like cancer. It will kill you to achieve its agenda, which is to prevent you from actualizing your Self, from becoming who you really are. This shadow self is called, in the Kabbalistic lexicon, the yetzer hara.  The yetzer hara, is what you call Resistance.”

Well said Rabbi. 100 % true.

This leads me to the Buddha. As he sat under the Bodhi tree and was confronted by Mara and his army.  Mara represents denial, fear and distraction. His demons are violent and wicked.  The Buddha used his noodle to figure out that Mara and his demons are nothing but a distraction to us. Mara goes out of his way to distract us from our true path, just like he did to the Buddha. Mara’s the king of thoughts and situations that create fear and resistance. The Buddha found a way to transcend his own denial of what is important and what is not. Being in denial of all there is in your life is the ultimate in resistance. The Buddha recognized this in his enlightenment.

What are your Mara’s? Is it addictions, distraction, negative patterns, denial? Is it violence in thoughts, words and deeds?

What is your yetzer hara? Is it illness, sadness, inability to focus?

The list of negatives is endless. So what is the answer? How do we recognize resistance especially if you don’t have a ton of time to meditate or devote your life to a religion?

Keep looking for those pesky negative  incognito signs in your thoughts, words and actions that are holding you back. Chances are whatever you are afraid of or avoiding is resistance.

Wake up into your own awareness. Make Self Care important, a priority.

Yes you are that important.

You are the Creator

Posted on by

You are the creator of your own life experience, and as the creator of your experience, it is important to understand that it is not by virtue of your action, not by virtue of your doing—it is not even by virtue of what you are saying—that you are creating. You are creating by virtue of the thought that you are offering.

You cannot speak or offer action without thought-vibration occurring at the same time; however, you are often offering a thought-vibration without offering words or action. Children or babies learn to mimic the vibration of the adults who surround them long before they learn to mimic their words.

—Abraham

Thoughts are an important part of your

inner wisdom – and they are very

powerful.

A thought held long enough and

repeated often enough becomes a belief.

A belief then becomes your biology.

A moment of insight

Influences 1000 lifetimes.

Georgia Piazza

It occurred to me that through any type of self development we change in a deep, profound and cellular level. Even if your outside doesn’t reflect the change. In your being you know you have changed. And that is priceless.

There Is No Such Thing As Failure

Posted on by
Standard

There is no such thing as failure.

There is only information.

If something doesn’t work out there is important information there.

Don’t put emotion into it.

Just detach from whatever the situation is.

Stop agonizing and create distance.

Do not berate yourself.

Don’t project or make it worse that what is.

If your mind is racing tell it to stop immediately.

 Distance will allow you to see what the information is.

From there you can decide which way to go.

When Times Are Difficult

Posted on by

When times are difficult we tend to seek support from others around us. If they don’t give us the support we expect we get disappointed and sigh off as being UN-supportive.

Challenge your expectations. Does the person have the capacity to give you the support you need at this time? Is it reasonable to expect constant, full support? Can you redirect your support needs elsewhere?Is this an opportunity for you to become more self sufficient and self reliant?

When you become more self sufficient and self reliant , you may just find others around you offering more support.

“In the world of Darkness, to Loose is to Find, and to Find is to Loose. To Remember that Pure Light is found in the Depths of Shadow, and that with out Darkness There Is No Light. For Within this World there must Always Be a Balance. To Find Yourself is to Loose Sumtin Dear To You..and to Find what is Dear to you, it’s easy To Loose Yourself. Always Keep the Light within your Heart Close..And the Darkness that Cradles it Even Closer..The Further u walk into the Realm of Shadow..The Brighter the Light in Your Heart Shines to Show You The Way”
