Chapter 7 Section VI

※※※ A real person should have the basic spirit of adventure. When you see that things have settled down, you mess them up again. ※※※ You are a mass, a mass.As long as you look more carefully, look deeper, you will find that there are many people inside you, and they all pretend to be you sometimes.When you are angry, a certain personality takes over and pretends that it is you.When you are in a loving situation, then another personality takes over and pretends that it is you. Not only is it confusing for you, it is also confusing for everyone you come into contact with, who cannot see it, because they themselves are a mass.

In every relationship, not just two people get married, but two masses get married.This will be a constant battle, and it is rare to say that your inner lover is on duty.And the lover in the other person also happened to be on errand.Except for this rare occurrence, you guys are missing out all the time.When you are loving, the other person is sad, angry, or worried, but when he is loving, you are not in the same mood.It's hard to navigate these personalities, they all work in silos. There is a cycle within you, and if you keep watching -- don't interfere with these personalities, because that will create more mess, more confusion.Just watch, because when you watch all these personalities, you will become aware that there is also a watcher, and that watcher is not a personality, and these personalities are walking around in front of that watcher.

It's not another personality, because one personality can't pay attention to another personality, which is a very interesting thing, and a very basic thing -- One personality cannot watch another personality because those personalities don't have any soul. It is like your clothes, you can go on changing your clothes, but your clothes have no way of knowing that they have been changed, they have no way of knowing that now another clothes has been used.You are not clothes, so you can change them.You are not one personality, so you can be aware of these countless personalities. But it also highlights a point very clearly: something continues to watch this whole personality game around you.

And this is you. ※※※ So look at the personalities, but also remember that your viewing is who you really are, if you can keep watching your personalities, those personalities will start to fade away, they won't survive, they need identification to keep them alive.If you are angry it requires you to forget about noting and become identified with the anger. If you are not identified with it then the anger is not alive, it is already dead, it is already dying, it is already disappearing. So keep focusing more and more on your witnessing, and all these personalities will disappear.When no personality is left, then your real being - the master - comes home.

Then you can act very sincerely and truly, then whatever you do, you will do it completely, and you will never regret it, and you will always be in a joyful mood. ※※※ Most of our problems - probably most of our problems - are because we have never faced them face to face, never really faced them; not paying attention to them is energizing them, being afraid of them is energizing them, keep trying Trying to avoid them is energizing them because you are receiving them.Your acceptance is what they are, and without your acceptance they would not exist. You have a source of energy, and everything that happens in your life needs your energy.If you cut off that source of energy, in other words, that's what I call disidentification.If you don't identify with anything, it immediately becomes dead, it has no energy of its own.

The other side of witnessing is not identifying. ※※※ Habit is easy, awareness is difficult, but only at first. ※※※ We never talk about the root of love, we just talk about the flower.We tell people to be nonviolent, to be compassionate, to be loving, to develop these qualities so that you can love even your enemy, to the point where you can even love your neighbor. We talk about flowers, but no one is interested in roots. The question is: why are we not a caring person?The question is not loving this person, loving that person, loving your friend, or loving your enemy, the question is whether we are loving.

Do you love your own body?Have you ever touched your own body with caresses?do you love yourself You are wrong, you have to straighten yourself; you are a sinner, you have to become a saint, how can you love yourself when you have such a thought?You cannot even accept yourself, these are the roots! Plastic flowers are eternal, plastic love is eternal, but the real flower is not eternal, it changes every moment, today it is there, dancing in the wind, dancing in the sun, dancing in the rain , but you will not find it tomorrow, its disappearance is as mysterious as its appearance. Real love is like a real flower.

※※※ The mind knows nothing about the past and the future, it only knows the present, and the mind has no concept of time. ※※※ To understand that neither "past" nor "future" exists.All you have is one very small moment: the present moment.You don't even have another moment, there's only one moment in your hands all the time; it's so small, so fleeting, if you think about the past or the future, you miss it, and that moment is the only life and the only true existence. ※※※ Politics is a disease, and it should be treated just like that.It is more dangerous than cancer, and if it requires surgery, it must be operated on.Politics is basically ugly, and it must be, because there are millions of people yearning for a position, yearning for a position.So naturally they will fight, they will kill, they will do anything.

Our whole mind is so wrong, we have been conditioned to be ambitious, and politics is born of this mind, not only in general politics, it even pollutes your ordinary life. ※※※ Even a child starts to give a fake smile to his mother or father, there is no depth behind that smile, but he knows that every time he smiles, he will be rewarded, he has learned his first lesson of being a politician.He's still in the cradle, you've handed him politics, and then there's politics everywhere in human relations. Men mutilate women, that too is politics.Women make up half of humanity, and man has no right to mutilate her that much, but he has been mutilating her for centuries.

He does not allow her to be educated, he does not even allow him to listen to the sacred scriptures.In many religions, he does not allow her to enter the temple, or if he does allow her to enter, she is placed in a separate corner.Even before God, she cannot sit on an equal footing with men. ※※※ Men try to take away women's freedom in various ways.This is politics, not love.You love a woman, but you don't give her freedom; what kind of love is that if you are afraid to give her freedom?You cage her like a parrot, you can say you love the parrot, but you don't understand, in fact you are killing the parrot.

You took the whole sky from that parrot, and you gave it only a cage, that cage may be made of gold, but even a golden cage is nothing like the freedom of parrots in the sky, they can come from One tree flies to another, and they can sing their own song, not what you force them to sing, but what they naturally want to sing, what they really want to sing. ※※※ In every country, in every civilization, half the population is destroyed by family politics, but that's politics.Wherever you have the urge to get over someone else, that's politics. Power is always political, and even if your power is just to have power over children, that is politics.Parents think they are loving, but that's just a concept in their head. What they really want is obedience. What does obedience mean?It means that all the power is in the hands of the parents. If obedience is such a great quality, why don't parents obey their children?If obedience is such a religious thing, then parents should obey their children. Power has nothing to do with religion. All power has to do with religion is to hide politics behind beautiful words. ※※※ You have been bred with the ambition that you have to be somebody in the world, you have to prove that you are not an ordinary person, that you are extraordinary, but for what?What purpose does it serve?It has only one purpose: to become powerful so that others can flatter you. You have empowered the whole of humanity in various ways, and this tendency is very political. ※※※ People love freedom, but no one wants responsibility. Yet they exist together, they are inseparable. ※※※ Why should you worry about other people's approval?Worrying about other people's approval only makes sense if you don't love your own work, because then it can seem like a substitute. You have to work, and you don't like it, but you have to do it, because in doing so you can be recognized by others, you can be appreciated and accepted. Instead of thinking about affirmations, think deeply about your work. do you like itThen there will be conclusions.If you don't like it, then you change it. Parents and teachers keep insisting that you have to be affirmed, you have to be accepted, which is a very cunning tactic to bring people into control. One basic thing to learn: do whatever you want, whatever you like, never ask for affirmation, that is a kind of begging, why should one ask for affirmation from others?Why should one demand the acceptance of another? Look deep within yourself, maybe you don't like what you're doing, maybe you're afraid you're on the wrong track, acceptance from others will help you feel right, affirmation from others will make you feel is towards the right goal. The problem is your own inner feeling, which has nothing to do with the outer world.Why rely on others? -- all these things depend on others, and you yourself have become dependent. When you are free from this dependence, you can become an individual -- to be an individual, living in total freedom in your own strength, nourished from your own source, and in doing so makes you truly centered, truly Rooted in Being, that's where your eventual flowering begins. ※※※ If intelligence remains innocent, that is the most beautiful thing possible, but if intelligence violates innocence, then it is a cunning, otherwise, it is not intelligence. The moment innocence disappears, the intelligent soul disappears, it becomes like a corpse, then it can only be called "pure intellect", it can make you a great intellectual, but it It will not be able to transform your life, it will not be able to open you to the mysteries of existence. These mysteries can only be opened to the wise child, and the really wise man retains his innocence to the last moment of his life, he never loses it -- looking at the birds, at the flowers, at the sky, the little one That alertness that a child produces... In the same way that intelligence must be childlike. ※※※ Here's a curious thing: truth is not democratic.Elections cannot be used to determine what is true, and if truth is determined by elections, we will never reach truth.People will choose those that are more comfortable, and lies are more comfortable because you don't have to do anything with them, you just have to believe them. Truth takes a lot of effort, it takes discovery, it takes risks, it takes you alone to walk a path that no one has ever walked before. ※※※ The qualities of a mature person are very strange, first, he is not a person, he is no longer a "self". He has an "in", but he is not alone. Second, he is more like a child - simple and innocent.That's why I say that the quality of a mature person is very strange, because the word "mature" makes you feel as if he is experienced, he is old, he is older. Physically he may be old, but mentally he is a young child.His maturity is not just a result of life experience, if this is the case, he will not be a child, he will not be a being, he will definitely be an experienced person - rich in knowledge, But immature. Maturity has nothing to do with your outer life experience, it has to do with your inner journey, it has to do with your inner experience. ※※※ The deeper a man goes into himself, the more mature he becomes.When he has reached the core of his being, he is fully mature, but at that very moment the person disappears and only a being remains; the self disappears and only silence remains; Knowledge disappears, only innocence remains. To me maturity is another word for "achieve", maturity is when you have reached your potential, it has become actual, the seed has traveled a long way and then has blossomed. Maturity produces a fragrance, it makes a man beautiful, it produces intelligence, the sharpest intelligence, it makes him love itself.His actions are love, and his inaction is also love; his life is love, and his death is also love. He is a flower of love. ※※※ Modern music has lost its elegance, because it has forgotten its basic purpose, it has forgotten its origin, it has not known that it is closely related to meditation.The same goes for the other arts, they have all become non-meditative, they have all led people to madness. The artist is creating a danger for himself, and he is creating a danger for his audience.He may be a painter, but his painting is madness, it does not come from meditation.
