| You Need To Rethink Your Strategy |
|
You need to rethink your strategy. The flaw is obvious. The initial step out of the cycle is not to try to change, but to accept who we are. In order to accept who we are, we need to first know who we are. Facing this challenge, we naturally apply the best tool we have - the mind. But the mind is the faculty least connected to our natural state. The mind is the cause of the problem to begin with, the faculty that creates the separation from our innate condition. To truly know ourselves, we must explore the question of who we are with our other faculties: our bodies, our emotions, and our spirits. How difficult is it to just let go and be ourselves? Look at the cycle and try to find the weakest point. Where can it be broken? At the point of initiation, at the point of expectation. If a fig tree expects itself to be a mango tree, the rest of the cycle will naturally occur. In fact the fig tree makes no effort whatsoever to become a mango tree. It survives by knowing itself in a most basic way and by being itself. Be that fig tree; it carries all the wisdom we need. Know who you are, be the best that you can be instead of attempting to be someone or something else. |
