Thinking of my self image as flexible.
It seems to be an interesting concept.
A self image that can change in a second.
On the other hand there is fear that people wonât like it. They want a reliable person.
They want to objectify me.
These are limiting beliefs to be transcended.
Becoming fluid as a goal. But also with a core character trait of stillness.
Who do I want to be today? Someone who can respond appropriately.
My thoughts are present while I am writing.
They are absent while I am not thinking.
Writing helps me to think.
It is better to think on paper than not think at all.
A flexible self image might be no image at all. It might be a non-concept. A paradox?
Not for the self, just on paper.
There are no concepts were I am.
My Futureself wonât understand it. This state I am in is not permanent. Itâs a lie.
I am not as flexible as I wish to be.
I am not flexible at all.
Thinking about non-duality.
It seems to me to be too early for me.
There are people who claim to be awakened.
But it is just a word with many definitions.
I am not awakened. Not by the definition I would prefer. In the past I worked with non duality teachers, met many of there students, but they seem to lack something.
All of them told me about their lacks. Even the teachers themselves.
Maybe I met only false teachers. One seemed pretty much alright. But he was not one of those non duality guys/gals, but a Sufi.
And he turned my life upside down.
Maybe it was already upside down, but I wasnât aware of it and he put it into an extreme so I could not deny it anymore.
The Sufi teach about the heart and how you need a teacher to help you to clean the problems in it. Maybe I should let another one find me. But this is not how it works. The teacher seems not to come when the student is ready, but when the student has the wrong map for the territory and doesnât find his way out alone. Thatâs what I experienced.
I seem to do well these days. The cup is full. I need to stop outshining the master. And empty the cup, so the master can fill it again.
Or I just continue rambling until I have rambled enough.
It seems to me that fast food spiritually is popular these days. Fake prophets with incomplete teachings. They have their role too. To keep those at sleep who are not ready and to let people who are ready to search some more.
Soon mountains will be mountains again. And people will be people again. Not psychological objects to study.
I am just a human being. Not one of the awakened ones or one wanting to be awakened or one wanting to awake others. My job is to do human stuff.
Fun times.
