Self Enquiry

Self-inquiry
In essence, it was intimacy.
I learnt how to become one with whatever I was feeling: physical pain, emotional pain, confusion, whatever. This turned out to be deeply liberating and eminently applicable to yoga posture practice.
It is only possible, however, when we let go of trying to get or become anything. We have to give up self-empowerment and self-improvement for self-inquiry.
It taught me not only how to relate deeply and fully to whatever is actually happening, but also how significant and powerful that is. It does not sound like much – no mystical concepts, no special saints, no foreign language, no promises, just what actually is.
Even when we believe that what actually is significant, or that what we really want is what we already are, as many people do, this concept alone makes little effective difference. We remain bound by other contradictory ideas and other conflicting beliefs.

Timely message.
This week Osho card very true...

The Issue - Going with the flow
The figure in this card is completely relaxed and at ease in the water, letting it take him where it will. He has mastered the art of being passive and receptive without being dull or sleepy. He is just available to the currents of life, with never a thought of saying "I don't like that," or "I prefer to go the other way." Every moment in life we have a choice whether to enter life's waters and float, or to try to swim upstream. When this card appears in a reading it is an indication that you are able to float now, trusting that life will support you in your relaxation and take you exactly where it wants you to go. Allow this feeling of trust and relaxation to grow more and more; everything is happening exactly as it should.

Soul
Instead of projecting my insecurity to others. Instead of putting them down in my mind. I can see that I attract unwilling meditators because I was doing everything unwillingly without knowing about it. I was self raping myself.
So, the people here are just being themselves. They are showing me the way, that we got a choice; we only do what we want; when we are willing.

Internal Influences that you are unable to see - Past lives
. A glimpse into the eternity of our existence is a gift, and understanding the function of karma in our lives is not something that can be grasped at will. This is a wake-up call; the events in your life are trying to show you a pattern as ancient as the journey of your own soul.

3. External influences that you are aware.
Breakthrough
The dawn is not far away, but before you can reach the dawn, the dark night has to be passed through. And as the dawn comes closer, the night will become darker." Osho

All of us occasionally reach a point when "enough is enough." At such times it seems we must do something, anything, even if it later turns out to be a mistake, to throw off the burdens and restrictions that are limiting us. If we don't, they threaten to suffocate and cripple our very life energy itself. If you are now feeling that "enough is enough," allow yourself to take the risk of shattering the old patterns and limitations that have kept your energy from flowing. In doing so you will be amazed at the vitality and empowerment this breakthrough can bring to your life.

4. What is needed for resolution?
You have to be an original individual; you have to find your innermost core on your own, with no guide, no guiding scriptures. It is a dark night, but with the intense fire of inquiry you are bound to come to the sunrise. Everybody who has burned with intense inquiry has found the sunrise. Others only believe. Those who believe are not religious, they are simply avoiding the great adventure of religion by believing." Osho

Me truly on self-enquiry mode now..

5. Resolution
Controlled
Controlled persons are always nervous because deep down turmoil is still hidden. If you are uncontrolled, flowing, alive, then you are not nervous. There is no question of being nervous – whatsoever happens, happens. You have no expectations for the future, you are not performing. Then why should you be nervous?
