We All Have A Personality Disorder

A personality disorder is a mental condition where people have a lifelong pattern of seeing themselves and reacting to others in ways that cause problems. People with personality disorders often have a hard time understanding emotions and tolerating distress, and they act impulsively, reacting within a pattern.

This is because we (consciousness) are caught up in ideas adopted in the mind. In the very first moment of meeting another person, there is perfect order of spontaneous presence – pure consciousness – before our disorder sets in. 🙂

All we need to do is notice this discomfort-disorder (suffering), realise the cause (belief in a separate self), look for a method to release us from this disorder (meditation), and then engage (the spontaneous realisation of emptiness).

Engage: The word originally meant ‘to pawn or pledge something’, later ‘pledge oneself’ (to do something), hence ‘enter into a contract’.

Practice makes perfect what is already perfect.
