akasha wrote [[If there is shame or fear of exposure to inner habits, secrets or desires, we don't OWN them.]] ** i agree. in my way of seeing, if you hide 'it' then your ashamed of 'it' & so shouldnt be doing 'it'. so .. if you want to do 'it' .. then own it, choose to make it yours & get on with 'it'.
[["hey, I'm experimental", and I own this experiment, and it may blow up and I may move on."]] ** that will work. [[Much of the fear of not owning what we do, in total, is a fear of what others will think of us.]] ** i agree. [[Sometimes it appears prudent, perhaps to own up to our tactics of hiding our inner world, so as not to wake up sleeping elephants which will disrupt our path.]] ** om Ganapathi! [[.. if one's livlihood depends on maintaining a social / public adherence to certain standards - contrary to our own - then perhaps the best that can be done, in the short term, is to personally own up to the fact that one is living an inauthentic life,]] ** ah yes .. living PC .. or living according to others expectations / associations .. living in the box, built by your own hand as the bricks go up around you. well .. there is no such thing as a "livlihood" .. a live-ly-hood .. that violates your self. simple. but hey, i see zombies almost everywhere. [[.. it seems more authentic to step up to the plate from the getgo. And by doing so, at lest one loses all the fear, guilt, shame and other social burdens heaped upon those stepping outside prevailing morals.]] ** "i must not fear, fear is the mind-killer. fear is the little- death that brings total obliteration. i will face my fear. i will permit it to pass over me & through me, & when it has gone past i will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only i will remain." see it coming .. stand with it, recognizing, owning .. turn & watch its going. good stuff akasha. om peace!.. rudrani To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
