Everybody is in a schizophrenic state - can't fully be ourself

Mar 25 morn

Destiny, Freedom and the soul
Choose wherever ur whole being is flowing, where the wind is blowing. Move on the path as far as it leads, never expect to find anything.
Hence I have never been surprised - because I have never been expecting anything. Everything is a surprise. And there is no question of disappointment; everything is an appointment. If it happens, good; if it doesn't happens, even better.
Once you understand that moment to moment loving is what real religion is all about, then u can drop heaven and hell.
The person who lived moment to moment lives death too, and find that all the moments of life can be put one side and the one moment of death can be put on the other side and still it weigh more. In every way it weighs more because the whole life condensed; and something more added to it, which has never been available to u. A new door opening, with the whole life condensed; a new dimension opening.

Similar message from Shoonya.

Destiny, Freedom and the soul
Whatever u do on ur own accord, out of ur own liking, is not acceptable. The people, the crowd in which a child has to grow has its own ideals. The child has to fit with the ideas and ideals. The child is helpless. Naturally those who are in power are able to mould the child in any way they want. So, everybody had become what he is, against himself. This is the psychology behind the fact that everybody wants to pretend to be what he is not.   

Everybody is in a schizophrenic state. Nobody has ever been allowed to be himself; he has been forced to be somebody else that his nature does not allow him to be happy with.

A famous surgeon;
When people praised me as a surgeon, I listen as if they are praising somebody else. I have been given awards, honorary doctorates, but nothing rings a bell of joy in my heart, because this is not me. This being a surgeon has killed me, destroyed me. I wanted to be a singer, even if I had to be a beggar on the streets. But I would have been happy.

Soul
Exactly. I dislike volunteering. Was never happy even when things turned out well. Was not happy even if I got high profile. The truth is I did it out of bond. I just love to sit and be.

In this world, there is only one happiness and that is to be yourself. And nobody is himself, everybody is trying somehow to hide behind masks, pretensions, hypocrisies. They are ashamed of what they are.

To be what you don't want to be, to be with someone u don't want to be with, to do something u don't want to do is the basis of all ur miseries.  And on the one hand, the society has managed to make everyone miserable, on the other hand, the same society expects that u should not show ur misery - at least not in public, not in the open.

Soul
Well, I did cried in public. I cried loads in private. Well, no more. Me on samadhi path, let me be just doing my sadhanas and being with my Shrine.

And unless a person decides, "whatever the costs, I want just  to be myself. Condemned, unaccepted, losing respectability - everything is okay, but I cannot pretend to be somebody else .... "
This decision and this declaration of freedom, freedom from weight of the crowd - gives birth to ur natural being, to ur individuality. Then u don't need any mask. Then u can be simply yourself, just as u are.
And at the moment u can be just who you are, there is tremendous "peace that passeth understanding"
