Ego and negative expirience

Inspired by Tao the jing or Dao de jing...

Negative expirience is only a contradiction of the ego's opinion.

Infinitive self has no DEFINITION (what we define is ego: my car, my place, my body...). Through meditation we can feel infinitive self.

33 ideas of infinitive self:

1. Infinitive self is God (I am God, universe consciousness, the God force is within, infinity -life-time vision...). Accept the situation that is. Create ur own reality. Afirm.

2. Discipline your mind, change programing of the mind. Ask, how does each situation feel.

3. Courage to go beyond: leting go. Fear is manifestation of ego. Trust (blind trust) is required. Courage to be differnt and to accept the pain or happiness from ego. Do sth that u don't like- to discpline ego: jump in cold water...that will solve ur ego. The Courage to be vunrable.

4. Courage to accept spirit to guide your life (inner guide). When u have to make the decision, try to more and more use your subtle feelings, open your heart and believe. Get use to by pass intelect (at first). Inner feeling is all knowing. Self is eternal, it can't be sick, hurt or anything else... (exercise: spend an evening blind folded at home or 15 minutes in the forest- for at least three hours- train yuorself to feel where things are).Unknown is really interesting.

Discplines of ego: push against ego comfort: do what bothers u (each weak choose sth- to challange ur comfort zone): public speeches...- be mentally in the now.

5. Accept negativity as learning expirience. You are looking at the contradictions of ego.

6.We learn about the world through its belief patterns and go beyond it. Do the things differently. The routines that you are familiar with day to day is a part of your ego authority over you, by doing things differently you begin to challange its authority.

7.All human knowledge is affected by human weakness. U can feel safe even when u don't know. Security is a bad habit- meaning to know...As spiritual being u have to be self sufficiant.

Thank about what u have in life.

When u want sth in your life, u affirm that u don't have it in ur life.

In the eternal tao, there are no ups and downs, good or evil, there is just high energy that sets ppl free and expresses love and there's low energy that restricts, conotrols and manipulates ppl. But it's just energy, no absolutes.

If u put out restrictions, weakness, manipulation and lack u pull negative expirience in your life.

Meditate on self image (see it as evolution). Work on ur weakness or ignore it, focus on ur strength.

8. The masters were supernatural, because others weren't (others were meta-phisychly weak). Power is here.

9. Power comes from discipline. Ego always goes to self indulgence, it gives us identity (but it is weak). U can't control mind without discipline:

-meditate,
-phyisical exercises,
-raising early,
-walking in the forests,
-review the day backwards without identifying with it,
-nutritional discipline
-not critisizing, not judging
-light a candle and stare in the mirror yourself in the throat and let urself go (easier for ur eyes)

Don't let ur personality win! See abundance of nature.

10. The need to center the mind (if u don't do that it is like having 40 chickens in your trunk...).Being focused on urself. Get into habit of watching, just observe, don't comment- don't react, become observing of life and urself. Train your mind not to react.
