[Announcement: Hi All – PRACTICAL DESTENI Blog is now a Blog within which I will share multi-dimensional points/processes within the practical walking of ourselves as existence in the process of establishing equality and oneness as-ourselves within and without.
THOUGHT-DESIGNS will be made available in a Book at: http://eqafe.com upon the completion thereof – the moment it is available an announcement will be made. Thank you.]
Do It. Be it. Live it.
We have a tendency to look at ourselves and our lives and dwell on the things and experiences and aspects that we ‘lack’ or generally ‘suck at doing’, and especially experience this when we compare such parts to/towards others and we get/have a direct-reflection of what we are and have become and accept and allow ourselves to be, live and do: A direct-reflection that we cannot deny seeing, which only perpetuates such accepted and allowed deficiencies/inadequacies in ourselves and our lives.
Like, for instance – lack of discipline, postponement, no drive, no motivation, experiencing projects/tasks/applications as obligations/burdens, no passion; constantly mirroring ourselves through others and finding/noticing how we exist as such habits/patterns.
Some simply ‘give into their fate’ and submerge themselves into the wanderings of the mind where we fantasize about ‘how we could be’ as we use examples as people within our world and superimpose ourselves onto their discipline, drive, motivation, direction, passion, precision, specificity and dream of how we would be if we were to be ‘like them’ while at the same time wallowing in our own despair of a self and a life that is seemingly ‘unchangeable’ and the best that we can do is ‘fantasize change’.
Others try and equalize or better themselves in such aspects they find ‘lack’ / ‘non-existence’ / ‘inadequacies’ / ‘insecurities’ and then life becomes a constant competition chasing after the ‘becoming’ of discipline, drive, motivation, direction, passion, precision, specificity – which turns out like a race, and one’s days end with exhaustion and frustration or pride and supremacy when one achieved or failed within one’s game of attempting-to/trying to ‘better self’. Or others try and equalize or better themselves and actually succeed – but then that which was attained – becomes the total definition of the being and that is all that they become/live-out/become good at, while some personality-parts / aspects of discipline, drive, motivation, direction, passion, precision, specificity ‘evolve’ other aspects of themselves/their world/relationship experience neglect / ignorance because the total focus-point / attention of the person was channelled to/towards the ‘becoming’ of / as discipline, drive, motivation, direction, passion, precision, specificity.
Furthermore, within that – everyone has different definitions of, for example what it means to be disciplined, to have drive, to be motivated, to express passion, to work with meticulous precision etc. and together with that definition there is a particular “experience” attached to it, as an energy. In this, the actual-living of/as the words discipline, drive, motivation, direction, passion, precision, specificity becomes lost, because an idea/perception/belief is created/generated of such aspects/expressions/attributes/traits within the context of energy and pictures and then the ‘chase / becoming’ of it – either through, in and as fantasies or reality becomes about the “experience” of the words and not the actual LIVING, BEING and DOING of/as the words as Self.
For example, we see / notice someone being exceptionally disciplined in/as their actions through work/tasks/projects and then compare all aspects our experience of ourselves in relation to discipline through observing them only within that one context. Then we ‘judge ourselves / pity ourselves and manipulate ourselves’ into thinking/believing/perceiving we’re not ‘disciplined’ – but, just because that person is disciplined within the ‘work environment’ does not mean ‘who they are’ is disciplined as a living-action/expression of themselves within/as all aspects of themselves, their world and relationships to/as everything and everyone equal and one. Being ‘disciplined’ within the ‘work environment only’ is not in fact actual, real living-discipline within the context of equality and oneness, such ‘discipline’ from the other beings’ context may be due to various other factors/points/experiences forcing the person to who, how and what they are in the work-environment – from family, to money, to obligation etc.
Therefore within process, we emphasize the point of not accepting and allowing self to compare self to others – because the tendency of the mind in relation to comparison, is to take one aspect of one person in one context and superimpose that on the totality of self and then think/believe self is ‘inadequate / inefficient / lacking’ in/as ALL aspects of self. Like for example, taking that one aspect of discipline, of that one person within the one context of the work environment and comparing all contexts of discipline within self to that ONE event only and then judge/condemn self to the definition of being ‘undisciplined’.
And furthermore, the very point of comparison is not ‘valid’ as everything in our world in relation to words has become definitions of energy and pictures ‘personalized’ within human beings’ mind consciousness system and so each person has a different reason/starting-point/agenda for acting/behaving/living in particular-specific ways.
Then we try and ‘become disciplined’ and force / push / enforce discipline – in only one or few aspects of ourselves and our lives which most of the times turns out into postponements, exhaustion, judgements etc. as we try and be/become something that only exist as a ‘idea’ we created in our own mind as a picture/energy and/or others simply fantasize and further perpetuate their self-victimized, self-pity, self-manipulation state/experience of thinking/believing what they are now is all they will be every be.
Therefore, the MISS-TAKE that is being made here, is trying to be something/someone else other than actually doing, being and living it as SELF.
So, here’s an opportunity to TAKE AGAIN and re-look and reconsider what we accept and allow within the context of comparison and competition in relation to points/parts/aspects/attributes/habits/patterns within/as which we experience ourselves as inadequate/inferior/lacking/inefficient.
Changing self is a DOING, it’s an action. There is no energy, no picture, no outcome attached to it – one do, live and be. Like, for instance with Discipline – being Disciplined take a simple action of DOING, arranging, organizing and structuring oneself and one’s world in all aspects that require direction/attention/completion and asserting self to actually get in there, participate in reality and DO it. Through/from DOING, one start living as the word as discipline as it becomes parts of self’s daily application through actually completing / paying attention to and directing what is required to be done in all aspects of ourselves, our world and others. Within/as doing and standing-as the living-expression of/as the word one in fact become the word as self ‘naturally’ – one is HERE as the word, doing, living and being – the completion of/as self as the living-word as discipline in all aspects of self, self’s world and relationships.
Discipline then becomes/is a doing, living/being AS SELF – it’s not defined/attached to an idea/picture/energy/person/chase; but permeate and infiltrate all aspects of self, self’s world and others as self.
And this goes for all and everything else within one’s world/reality – with regards to drive, motivation, direction, passion, precision, specificity: if you simply DO it, and apply yourself in doing to LIVE it you BECOME/ARE it, Here as self as Being as natural expression of/as ‘who self is’ that stand equal and one in all facets/parts and aspects of self, self’s world and others.
So, whenever you TRY and be/become something you’ve noticed within another and find yourself chasing after it in exhaustion or dreaming about it in your fantasies while wallowing and drowning yourself in your own inadequacies/lack/inefficiencies: know that you’re playing the game of comparison in your own mind and trying to become an IDEA – instead of simply DOING, LIVING and BEING it as self, here.
So, assist and support self to develop self into and as the LIVING WORD, through the practical application of taking a word and simply doing, living and being – and applying it within all contexts of oneself, one’s world and relationships; not limit and diminish self to attempting-to/trying to fulfil one idea/ideal only.
Take the word and do, live and be it within oneself, one’s world and relationships – sit with yourself, write it out – how would you apply as do, live and be the word as self within one’s world/reality to manifest the word as self in equality and oneness.
Like, for example with discipline – see where/with who/when one tend to be undisciplined – what actions of doing can be applied, with constancy and consistency to assist/support self in developing self into/as the living and so the being of/as the word as self and then walk the word in ALL contexts as self until self is satisfied. In this, one develop self as the word – not trying/attempting to chase after a idea in one’s mind that one compared from another as a picture/energy and so self assist/support self to in fact EXPAND within self and self’s world and not limit/diminish self to/as one picture/energy/idea of/as a word within the context of ego/mind.
What would be cool to do, is for example first do write-our for yourself – write-out all the points/parts within you/your world/relationships where, for example you experience yourself to be undisciplined so that you can have a concrete/practical visual-direct presentation of yourself right in front of you.
From there, you take all the points individually and do a write-up of how to practically in living-action of doing – assist/support you to be disciplined, disciplined which is simply the doing, living and being of constancy an consistency in getting things done , directing and completing what is required/needed within a practical, physical context.
Then, from there – you actually DO it, for /as self and so through application – find, develop and ‘play’ with ways/methods of doing that works until you find a satisfactory expression of physical living that works as self.
Obviously remember it will be a process, and will require patience – because you’re in the process of developing/changing and expanding ‘who you are’ as a living word, actually assisting and supporting self to LIVE and at the same time releasing the enslavement to/as one idea/perception/belief of a word within the context of a picture/memory/energy.
Set yourself free from comparison, postponement and wasting time within fantasies/dreams – take a breath, take a word and assist/support self to be/become the living word – through actual DOING, as practical physical application here in reality – taking it breath by breath, action by action as self walk the process of changing self.
