Having Difficulty in Being Yourself?

Do you find it difficult being yourself…in company? We are expected to play a part; there are films that portray humans beings taken over by aliens and, to be safe, you have to act like them…so they don’t getcha!

Of course, we have to understand what the ‘self’ in the title actually is. ‘Self’ is a mental, created identity that obscures our essential pure nature, and is mistaken for reality.

However – this is what we have to work with!!!

(This is so important I just had to put it in red)

This is so…so…important…OUR path is OUR confusion – not someones else’s. We have to experience whatever WE experience, and therefore trying to look better in the eyes of others is merely playing with madness. There are ‘aliens’ everywhere! Be happy being you, warts and all.

There is insanity in the world…there is even evil. How do we find our own sanity within this insanity?

For a start, we don’t join in! Before we can deal with global insanity, we must first secure our own sanity. Without this, we are just part of the madness. We cannot fight thoughts with thoughts, as the result will merely be another thought. We need to be able to step outside the activity area, which means going beyond, into the realm of clarity – into clear light – pure perception.

We are born with certain karmic tendencies. Accept them! Experience them! Enjoy them! All too often, we want to be taken more seriously: we want to be recognised for our good qualities – which are merely cultural ideas in the heads of others on the maintenance of madness 😉 This obsessive fixation will only cause us suffering.

Some paths are filled with flowers and glorious views. Some just have a bit dust and not much to look at. You know who will linger on their path, and whose path may be coming to an end. 🙂

Be happy with the way you are.
Be of benefit to others
and cause no harm.
