#selfobservation

[cobotis]

You are the cause of whatsoever is happening to you. You are the cause, and the world is just a mirror. But it is consolatory always to find the cause somewhere else. Then you never feel guilt, you never feel self-condemned. You can always point out that here is the cause, and unless this cause changes, "How can I change?" You can escape into it; this is a trick.  So your mind always goes on projecting causes somewhere else.

Through self-observation, more presence comes into your life automatically. The moment you realize you are not present, you are present. Whenever you are able to observe your mind, you are no longer trapped in it. Another factor has come in, something that is not of the mind: the witnessing presence. — Eckhart Tolle, from the book The Power of Now #thePowerOfNow #eckhartTolle #selfObservation #presence #observingYourMind #witnessingPresence https://www.instagram.com/p/CnRztN5OWeZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

How much of our true self is in our decisions? There are so many layers of conditioning in the way we see the world... We have learnt to like, want and appreciate things according to the roles and circles in which we have grew up. Even the concepts like “goodness”, “beauty”, “balance”, have been learnt at some level. Even when we believe we are trying to “not fit” into society rules, we end up fitting into other rules, other predefine perceptions. So the only journey I see to be free is the journey inside. And it’s not an easy journey, there are layers and layers to be seen, we go from the dense to the subtle, everyday, becoming a little bit more truthful, less conditioned and more conscious about who we really are, so we become more free. In that freedom we start learning to embrace life with no conditions or preconceived ideas... freedom is the nature of our soul. #freedom #selfknowledge #selfobservation #svadhyaya #practicekindnessandcompassion https://www.instagram.com/luanafarayoga/p/By5N_IfHJ02/?igshid=1clbigkhqkg41

I figured out I’m allergic to a certain marker. I figured this out while teaching my  self defense class. I was writing down each step so they could follow it, I wrote it on a white board. My head instructor just got new markers and so when I started writing I started sneezing.....It didn’t stop till I blew my nose at the end of the day which was two hours later. Only reason I waited was because we don’t have any tissues in our martial arts studio and so I didn’t wanna use the paper towels because they hurt. So I just dealt with the sneezing in my other two classes. It was torture to not sneeze during our ‘creed’ we say during each practice. My nose would run but not awfully thank god. My students would ask if I was okay periodically after a fit or two. Lets just say I almost got another concussion because we were fighting with weapons. My friend had a bat and I had a wooden knife. My friend swung at me, but I sneezed and made my self fall on my butt. Honestly I’ll take the concussion than fall on my butt^^

Lavoro su di Sé

Tra autosservazione e repressione, la differenza è quasi sottile. D'altronde lo chiamano lavoro su di sé, non vacanza o ferie su di sé

Very often, when you are guided into the direct experience of the Self the mind rises up for its biggest fight... But just stay put and feel the turbulence without identifying personally. You are likely to get annoyed with this advice as you are still inclined to protect your relationship with the mind, but try and follow my pointing and just observe with detachment. Now is the time where you must discern what is the mind and what is You... What is so disturbed? What is rebelling so much? Is this your true Self? At this point, many give up, because the mind becomes unbearable. It rebels more on this path than on any other path, because on other paths the mind is included, not threatened. But do you want to be spiritual or free?
