Feeling Bad Does Not Mean You Are Bad

1/25/2021

 
Have you noticed how conditioned we are to trust our feelings
whenever we feel bad about ourself? 

When we feel guilt or shame we’re programmed to trust those feelings.
We believe that feeling bad about ourself is justified because we are bad.
After all, we wouldn’t feel bad if we weren’t actually bad, right?

We don’t realize that the feeling bad, the shame and guilt,
is not the actual Truth but is a kind of lie detector pointing us back to Truth.

When we feel bad about ourself it’s as if Truth is saying,

“Your understanding is way off base. You are believing a lie.
You feel bad not because you’ve understood who you are
but because you’ve misunderstood who you are.
Feeling bad about yourself is always my loving feedback

inviting you, coaxing you, to please go deeper 
than any thought or feeling. You are so much more -
so     much     more.”

​The Divine Child

by the spiritual teacher Mooji
 
We are divine beings in a state of recovery,
re-discovering our divinity,
winning back ourselves from states of delusion. 

However, the mind is very much a key player
in the drama called life, because without it,
the consciousness cannot experience
the necessary friction for transcendence to occur.
And transcendence is the whole purpose of the game.

It is a kingly game when seen
with eyes of understanding.
If you stay stuck in personhood, life will kick your ass.

But if you are open to Truth, then you are continuously
expanding into greater and greater seeing.
Finally, you will exclaim,
‘I love this stepping out of the shadow of myself
into the bright light of my Self.’

If my words are true,
it is you who make them true.
They come alive inside you
because you listen inside your heart and accept them. 

Not just the words, but what they point to
somehow recognizes itself,
and the stagnant, the suppressed,
vanishes in the light of this real seeing.

The serpent-mind loses its tongue
in the presence of the real Self.
You are the Self.

    It is all very simple. Instead of seeing things imagined, learn to see them as they are. When you can see everything as it is, you will also see yourself as you are. It is like cleansing a mirror. The same mirror that shows you the world as it is, will also show you your own face."
      Sri Nisargadatta     Maharaj

      Einstein said,
    "No problem can be solved 
      from the same
       level of consciousness
           that created it."
      
     

     
    To see new solutions
       we must see differently.
