To remove the judge..is to be our authentic Self

Jan 10

Father, today practice is fine. I was quite agile during asanas. I sense a different energy, a quietness that is not there before. Somehow the renovation has brought it out.

On Z, well, I love him and he wants me. Even the other day when I talked about exit plan for him to find his wife, he waive it off that he has no time to find one. He wanted to take me out this Sat, which I don't think I can. He even wanted to fetch me to the place we mentioned last friday.

On the essay review by H, it was well commented and she even give feedback for me to ponder, which is great.

AH Almaas
When we recognise that the promise of fulfilment and what stands in its way are both within us, we begin the inner journey. It is a journey into our own consciousness and experience, a path of discovery and realisation of the inner riches of human potentiality.

One of the obstacles to inner work and spiritual realisation is the painful and difficult one of the inner critic, the coercive agency within us that criticises, judges, compares, condemns, blames and attacks us and others mercilessly and constantly.

Soul without Shame - Byron Brown
As u come to recognise that u r in a prison guarded by the judge, u appreciate the soul's powerful longing for freedom.

Every external form of bondage in human history reflects the psychic confinement of the soul resulting from ignorance and unquestioned beliefs. U r a slave to ur own ideas of who u r and how u need to be.

The ability to defend against the judge's attacks and disengage from its activity offers u the possibility of discovering who u r independent of ideas. Actively standing up for the truth of ur experience breaks the habitual patterns of ur familiar identity.

Soul
I intend to trust my experience with Z instead of trusting my mind.

Soul without shame
This capacity of the soul depends on the recognition of ur essential nature and the development of ur ability to be authentically yourself.
