Guidance is always there for me (5)

Embrace Life (Rabbi Irwin)
The heroes don't scale down their dreams to the size of their fears. They are the masters of dance between uncertainty and certainty.
When we realise that uncertainty is our natural human state, life becomes even more awesome.

Soul
I am facing uncertainty now. Have a great time in samyama, tot I came back feeling great and ready to go. It turn out, I fell sick and now taking rest. At first not sure of joyong website. But this morning got some insight to learn web. Mmm, which is exactly what my 7thunder year card says.
Results - Jack of Club (success using mental creativity)
You will achieve much more creativity and success in a mental field. This could mean success as a writer of some kind. In the process, u may be transformed by exposure to new forms of communication or information that advances ur thinking into the current age of advanced technology. Be prepared to move ahead into unexplored area of knowledge.

Embrace life
Our action are our legacy. Its what we do that counts. The degree of enlightenment can be measured by what we do.
Not doing 'wrong', is only counted if you wanted to do wrong but in the end deny yourself.
Freedom from - breaking free from those unconscious forces that compels us. When we achieved that, we attain positive freedom, "freedom to" do exactly what we know we are supposed to do. There are no longer barriers to being the kind of person we want to be.
It is only possible to fulfill a mitzvah if one experiences the full range of feelings and then run counter to it.
If you don't feel anything contrary to the comandment, then its like an inert chemical; it has no impact or meaning. How can we acknowledge "I should not" until we experience "I am tempted".

Soul
The same as my anology between an alcoholic and non-alcoholic.

Embrace Life
When we resist a commandment its often because we experience it as an external pressure. But the external pressure we feel is really our disguised desire. If we didn't have the desire to observe a commandment, we wouldn't feel anxious or pressured. We simply go on about our business.

Soul
No wonder I felt such anxiousness during BSP. I was worried I was called into going deeper into meditation. And in the end, I have went back to Ashram 3 times and now even doing samyama.

The same goes for me spreading truth to people and helping others along the way. I used to resist and tot God is unfair, seeking payment for giving me the power of insight. Now I realised its in me.
　
Embrace Life
We are free only when we break loose from the physical, emotional, intellectual and cultural forces that drive us without our knowing it.
Freedom From - freedom from unconscious forces that compels us (being Conscious)
Freedom To - Freedom to do what we know we are supposed to do.

(Dec 10 - This is exactly the same thing that I recently read in Osho - Freedom. Father, you are Great, always with me. Somehow, all the messages comes in to help me to commit to my Freedom To be a Writer!)

Soul
At least I now knew about my compulsive tot on relationship matters. I mentally created the rhsip in my mind. When it didn't materialise, I got disappointed and tot I have been rejected. Infact, advances didn't even happen. Or I could be thinking abt someone that I didn't even like. So, I now undo my belief about rejection.


Embrace Life
Discontinuity is vital to the success of continuity, for it allows ideas and societies to evolve and grow. Innovation begins with trangression.
Most of us lead conventional lives. We want to avoid the discomforts that arise from complications. But the full, creative life must be open to unpredictability.
Our drive to achieve and our inability to rest seem to get the best of us nevertheless.
The best of leaders tend to be simultaneously self-important and self sacrificing; that's, in part, what makes them great.
Creativity is more expansive than we imagined, and relaxation requires as much discipline and effort as work. Being is as important as doing.
When we confront our strangeness, we are less likely to project it on others. When we embrace our own lack of wholeness, our own complexities, we are less likely to be oppressors, even passively.

Soul
I accepted myself.
