Projections

May 9 aft
Yea, did a great job of presentation in the ruling committee. Knowing my gifts in meeting helps. I was confident of pulling it through. We didn't even call E in.
We got what we want.
Got praises from it. Just relieve on my end. Also bit reluctant that I got the sister company the positive ruling. They are totally not appreciative.

The key to working skilfully in the world, is first of all, to see things as they are. But the obscurations, confusions, distortions, projections of the mind that prevents us from seeing clearly are very tricky. They are also entertaining, and seductive. It takes an extraordinary set of skills to disarm the whole mechanism, which is what the practice of meditation is all about.
Meditation is not an external, learned technique, even though we practice it in that way, but it is a state of mind that arises naturally, allowing us to see and act clearly.
Skilful actions encourage us to take responsibility for ourselves, rather than pointing fingers and creating shame or guilt in us and made us feel not good enough.

Coincidentally, my external influence is Projections. This week helped me to see my feedback issue from the Parental mode. Also helps me on Z. Now I know I couldn't let go because I tot there is no more. Well, there is abundance. Need hang on to someone who can't appreciate me.

Be the Change
How many times a day, consciously or otherwise, do we put ourselves down, reaffirm our hopelessness, dislike our appearances, or see ourselves as incompetent or unworthy?
How much resentment, guilt or shame are we holding on to, thus perpetuate negativity.
Sitting in quiet reflection, meditation or prayer has an immediately calming and peaceful effect.

Soul
Yes. For me the reflection time and practices is key to me. It grounds me, brings me back to my joyful self.
