Here are my observations of relationship with the self.
You are a compassionate and highly responsible individual, ever ready to extend a helping hand to anyone you perceive as in need, often at the expense of your own interests and life. This is an illustration of empathy that can be detrimental and destructive to many lives. Such a state frequently arises from upbringing that deprives an individual of the opportunity to receive rewards for their own actions while simultaneously imposing the burden of responsibility for those around them. Individuals like this often feel shame for their own success and productivity, influenced by the societal images they hold in their minds. This tendency is particularly prevalent among those from cultures that emphasize collectivist ideals.
The path out of this illusion lies within oneself, not in the external world. Our subconscious is governed by beliefs that lead us to experience various emotions, many of which are harmful. The solutions to your inquiries reside within you, not in the internet, in trees, in the sky, or beneath the earth.
Do you feel awkward in the presence of beggars or the “unfortunate”?
Ask yourself: “Why do I feel this way?” Justifications will emerge, explaining why you owe something to others.
Write down and analyze these justifications. Self-discovery is an incredibly engaging pursuit.
Я теперь начинаю понимать бессмысленность точки зрения бессмысленности, которая обрамлена во множество рамок, фрактальных по своей природе, как и всё. Уходят они в бесконечную ограниченность. Так же, как бесконечная вседозволенность уводит в бесконечную тьму невежества.
Я сам в какой-то момент был убеждён, что нечего поднимать никакое знамя, так как их вон сколько наподнимали и размахивают кому ни попадя, а после они искажаются до неузнаваемости или извращаются. Чаще всего, по прошествии коротких десятилетий, эти знамёна-имена принимают абсолютно противоположный заряд.
Проживая опыт в теле, как ни крути, сам являешься знаменем: хоть поднимай, хоть не поднимай — всё равно его видно тем, у кого открыты глаза. А таких не мало, скажу: почти все, просто многие прищурились и “шлангами” прикидываются.)))
Мы все преследуем свою человеческую выгоду, пусть кажется, что ты от неё отказался в этом воплощении, но это и есть самообман, от которого больно делается своему существу. Некая форма фанатизма в попытке достучаться до себя же, что мне якобы ничего не нужно или нужно именно так, как Я хочу…
Ум всегда объяснит себе, почему он сделал именно такой выбор, и это и есть ловушка для души. Ум решает, что он каким-то образом обладает душой и может ею распоряжаться. Ум всё ждёт подходящий момент, но если ум уловил мысль, что есть некий “подходящий” момент, то вот он перед нами. Иначе уму даже не понять, что есть сам “момент” и что такое “подходящий”.
Как только бдительность ума ослабла, возникает возможность прорыва в так называемую зону вне комфорта, как в тот же миг установленная и крепко вбитая в структуру ума рамка срабатывает и тут же уводит от ответственности за данные персонально возможности и способности этому телу, в котором воплотилась душа.
Ведь всё не просто так даётся, и в том числе глубинное осознание того, что мы знаем, что ничего не знаем. Ведь те, кто это осознал в какой-то из степеней, руководствуются далеко не только интеллектуальной концепцией.
Это всё нам ещё предстоит познать о себе самих и допустить немало ошибок на пути развития и роста, которому нет ни начала, ни конца.
Поэтому Кто Я?…….. Кто Я?……. Кто Я?….. И так бесконечно. Когда свет, а когда тьма, после снова свет и снова тьма…. Одним словом: “БЛАГОДАТЬ” – ни дать, ни взять.
As most of the spiritual teachers said, we are three-part union beings—body, mind, and soul. Where the body is a vehicle, the mind is a passenger, and the soul is a driver.
The mind always tries to take control of the life of the body when it overthinks and takes responsibility for the driver, which is the soul. The soul knows why this body exists and what it has to do during its lifetime.
Society teaches us to listen to the mind, and we see that it steps on the same trap and becomes a crazy life-destroying machine. The mind is a powerful tool that can be programmed.
Humans using the mind created countless amounts of beliefs and programs for the mind in their known history. Some of the beliefs obviously create separation from the soul—the life energy source. The body suffers more pain as the separation grows larger.
Finding the way to the union looks and feels unpleasant for the conditioned mind, but there is a way.
Let the mind be a wonderful tool that serves the body and knows its role.
May love be with you!

At a certain level of awareness, information and experiences begin to form logically related concepts. The analytical mind copes well with this task; it connects parts of seemingly unrelated facts and stories into a whole picture using logic. Where is the guarantee that the experience experienced by this mind or bunch of minds reflects reality and not just one of its facets?
The mind is a wonderful mechanism that should be trained to submit to life and not to subordinate life itself.
The mind, after all, is a phenomenon of life, and it looks funny when the mind, imagining itself to be the main thing in all existence, begins to destroy life around it.
Like a child fired up by a desire or an idea, he will try to use logic to adjust the circumstances while hiding the truth.
But then, as the experience of mankind shows, no matter how brilliant the idea, mistakes will still be made in it, which will lead to the collapse of everything created.
I am not calling on anyone to stop operating in life using the mind, I am reminding myself and you that the mind is a tool that should be mastered and used for its intended purpose.
Often, when solving a problem, the mind always creates an even larger problem, and then war and other man-made disasters happen.
May love be with you!

In a couple of years, you can barely find a reason to be or do anything.
There is no joy in all activities: meeting with friends, doing art, even nature. You’re still scrolling through mass media feeds that are full of informational junk, but you still believe that you can find the exit from this desperate condition, or it seems this is the end of you.
You have tried so hard to follow the paths that your parents or society gave you since you were a kid. It seems nothing works for you.
People will tell you that you are a loser, others will tell you that you should see a doctor, someone will try to persuade you to follow their suggestions.
None of them knows that you see no spark in life. Only heavy desperation and obsessive thinking are left in you.
Days are copies of each other.
The bitterness of loneliness fills your entire being.
You scream, you cry, you are furious, and you don’t care anymore.
And this day has come, and you understand that this is the real end, and some invisible force is pulling you out of your body.
First, you are scared and after a few moments, you realize that there is nothing to be scared about, you just need to accept that this is the end of the suffering you have lived in for such a long time.
Your body is still here, but you can no longer move it. You feel the last beats of your heart and how your brain sends its last signals to the body, and…
Complete void.
Nobody, nothing, no light or dark, but I am.
I am.
May love be with you!

Fears, resentments, hatred of someone—this is all stagnant mental and emotional garbage. These are those parts of you that should have manifested themselves in certain situations, but you listened to your mind. You hid the emotion and pushed it deeper, where it had already taken root over all these years of living in you. It turned into a conviction and an automatic reaction to a certain type of situation.
Perhaps you were an inquisitive child and one of your close relatives told you everything to devalue any of your manifestations, even if it was a joke, and you, being inexperienced and incofident, took it and believed it, or took it and swallowed resentment or anger.
Now you are 30+ years old, and you notice certain patterns and cyclicalities of your ups and downs in the basic components of life: health, wealth, love, and happiness.
You start trying to find out the problem with the help of all sorts of psychological and spiritual practices. What is wrong with you? Why do you have a constant troubles in some areas of your life?
As a result, you find in yourself an eternally ongoing dialogue with someone you have been upset about or angry at since childhood. After decades, you still have this conversation in you, and maybe even your offender is no longer alive, but you still subconsciously look for him/her in everyone with whom you communicate.
The pity fact is that you find the offender even in those who are absolutely different from the one with whom you often have an internal dialogue all these years.
You are like someone who sees hallucinations, and you are convinced of the authenticity of your illusory vision.
Accordingly, any person in this case who interacts with you will experience an undeserved attitude towards themselves, which will lead to the breaking of the connection between both of you. For you, this will also cause a certain type of misunderstanding and disappointment, first of all in yourself.
Here, you will have to have a serious conversation with yourself. Perhaps it will even be very emotional and supported by “special effects” in the sensations of the body.
It sounds interesting, isn’t it? What to do, then?
If you are sincerely interested in my answer, then it means that you definitely haven’t be sincere with yourself; you haven’t spoken to yourself honestly, without any hypocrisy to which you conditioned, having identified you with your environment and pleasing it. You have ignored or suppressed your own feelings that are opposite to the imposed belief.
Carl Jung called these shadows; Eckhart Tolle called them the pain body, In different traditions, they are called demons or informational parasites that live in the psyche.
The most exciting fact is that all of them are you—those parts of you that want your love. So give yourself some love! What is the problem? Are you asking “how”? It’s simple. Love yourself.
May love be with you!

You have been born into the world in a technological and universal suit—a body that recovers itself if damaged. It can move quite deftly in space and easily adapt to almost any condition. Your body is recharged during sleep and also from the fruits of the surrounding world.
We shouldn’t ignore the fact that this body is served by a very complex device called the mind, which is a quantum computer. It is what makes reality tangible, helping the body navigate space and make decisions based on natural or acquired programs.
After all, you must admit what a perfect device you, I, and every person temporarily have.
Somehow, most humans choose to destroy this body by letting the mind take control of life in it.
If the mind is only a mechanism or tool, how can it decide what is good for life? If the body and mind are a kind of device, then who controls this whole mechanism and assigns tasks to the mind and body? Is this you? Who are you? Who am I?
May love be with you!

All of the creatures in the universe have the right to choose a life path. It’s known as free will. It’s one of the most important rules at the physical and metaphysical levels of existence.
By the way, some of the creatures are trying to find a way to manipulate others to break this concrete rule. When they do it, it causes a big imbalance, but the entire organism of the universe is putting everything back into balance, and those who manipulate the rules of the universe are going to pay a fee, and it is impossible to avoid responsibility for anything that causes an imbalance. Nothing is for free; it might have a fee.
First of all, it is better to keep in mind that everything is in the right place and at the right time,” and when someone or something effects this process in a positive or negative way (from a human mind perspective), it could be the act of breaking the rule.
For example, when you really want to help a person but the person doesn’t ask for any help and you still try to help,” you might steal that person’s experience, which they have to go through, and stealing is an action to create imbalance.
What I am sharing here is my personal experience, which I later found very similar to what different spiritual and religious teachers are teaching about. Interesting fact: all the answers are within us; we just need respectfully ask ourselves and get any answer related to our own existence in this beautiful world in these incredible bodies.
May love be with everyone, and may all the creatures be free and happy in all worlds!
