What is our true nature?…
“No one can give away wisdom, a teacher can only lead you to it via words, hoping you will have the courage to look within yourself and find it, inside your own consciousness… Beyond the words” – Sydney Banks
Our most natural state being is one of love, peace, and light-heartedness. Discovering the truth of our nature, unleashed a passion and sense of purpose in me I hadn’t felt for quite a while. It also unveiled to me, my infinite potential, which had been previously masked by my learning and limiting beliefs.
You don’t have to believe every thought you have.
I have gained a huge sense of freedom and relief in the knowledge I don’t have to believe, or give time to every thought I have. Through this discovery, I am now experiencing life in a more loving, carefree, and compassionate way.
Another realisation I’ve had since coming to understand how our mind works is I previously believed my emotions were a reaction to outside circumstances. I used to spend a lot of time analysing and worrying about why someone had behaved badly towards me.
A new perspective on life.
Gaining the understanding that I can only ever feel the emotions of my thinking about the behaviour or circumstance, has led me to a whole new perspective of how life works.
This doesn’t mean I accept disrespectful behaviour, I trust I will handle it as needed at that moment, however, I no longer spend time trying to figure out why someone could act that way, knowing as we all think differently, it is an impossible task.
I also understand now that the more thinking I give to it will just keep me in uncomfortable feelings of worry, anger, fear, or anxiety.
Low moods are part of the human experience.
As I’ve come to see the magnificence of who we truly are, I treat myself and others in a more loving, compassionate, gentle way. I am kinder to myself on the days my mood is low, especially so on mornings when I wake up and just want to put the cover over my head, finding it hard to muster up the energy to interact with the world.
Instead of worrying about why I feel that way and berating myself to get up, fearful it could lead to depression if I don’t fight through it, I now understand low moods are a normal part of the human experience and are my body’s way of letting me know I’ve been overthinking life again.
This has been a major relief to me and has helped me to be more kind to myself during those low mood times. Simply knowing low moods are a part of our experience of life and that new thoughts will soon flow through my mind, is enough to move me into a nicer feeling state.
Surrendering to the stillness within.
Understanding my natural state of being is one of peace and can be felt at any moment I remember to tune into the silence and stillness within, which has brought a sense of freedom and relief I had been seeking for a long time.
Within this quieter space, my thinking becomes reflective. Naturally bringing more peaceful, creative, and innovative thoughts to my mind. It allows me to see through the illusion of my worrisome, insecure thoughts, seeing them for what they are, made-up images projected onto the screen of my mind.
