Guest guest Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Dear Marco Ji Namaskar and thank you for your message..........really you are not experienceing anything different than many others who are searching for the Truth in their life.......reasons for why life is what it seems to be and frustration that it is not up to the standards you have set for yourself and life in general........some are still learning and some know more than others.......general rule is that there is always someone out there who knows more than we do and that is a gift of humanity to humanity by way of the Almighty.....a suggestion for an exercise next time you react to life.........and what it is presenting you with.........is to stop before speaking or acting and observe yourself.......In traditional Vedic literature there is the phrase........the observer..........observeing......that which is being observed......once you start to feel a reaction to any stimulus recognize this as a signal to pause for a moment and step back from the automatic response..........in other words think about what was said or what was presented and place it in context of the larger picture of the world......by doing this you become the observer of yourself........once you become the observer the next step is the act of actually observeing yourself in the act of observeing the emotion you may feel and the many possibilities to react to what you have been exposed to or not to react to what you have been exposed to............you may simply wish to turn your attention elsewhere in silence or change the subject or simply walk away When a person sets standards for how they think the world should operate they kind of set themselves up for pain and suffering......once this is learned then a person becomes more lenient with themselves and others regarding what SHOULD BE or what SHOULD NOT BE and life becomes easier many times interpretaton of language and the meanings of words and sentences also interfers with understanding what is actually takeing place.........for instance sometimes you might hear someone say.......emotionally I feel angry...........from this statement alone one would think that anger is an emotion when in fact anger is a learned behaviour Is important to understand that anger is not an uncontrolled emotion and that it is a learned behaviour that can be changed by becomeing the observer who is observing that which is being observed.....if you step back from what you are being confronted with and think before speaking of acting you will find great control in your life that you may have not known was there before hope this helps a little as sometimes we need to go inside to find answers instead of finding something outside to help with our daily life Wishing you and Family the Best Aum NamaSivaya Sivaya Nama Aum Rudra Center India and America DD In , marco corradi <marcoacorradi wrote: > > Dear Friends, > > examining my interactions with friends and people I'm in contact with, I observed a lack of humility on my side.
