observer or ...absorber

Situation

Before I reactively deny it, let me observe deep within if the opinion I have about myself is based on what others see or believe about me and especially the important ones for me.

We usually find our thoughts being swayed by whatever we hear from others about us. The moment I stop observing and start reacting to what they say, I feel the look in my eyes changing… it is a sign that my heart has started believing all those things. It is a sign that I've lost the seat of being the detached observer and I have become the…absorber.

In a short time I have adopted a foreign opinion about myself…

Soulution

...independently of how many foreign views I have adopted about myself there's one that exists within me eternally and is the true one.  And if I have forgotten how is it to believe in the self and in this little inner voice that guides me, it doesn't matter … this voice hasn't forgotten me. It remains and waits for me to remember it. Because it is the only thing within me that is eternal, it is imperishable; all other things are artificial constructions of the human mind, "approaches" or "analyses" or "ideas" and as every artificial thing… they have an expiry date.

Traffic Control

When you feel that you 've become one with the keyboard...

When you don't remember why you are doing what you are doing...

It's really time to have your Traffic Control ...

During the day we can stop from time to time and check the routes of our mind... don't be afraid … it's won't take us long… we will be back to work in no time… back to our 'boss': 'Mrs. Action'

}It's not necessary to sit on our desk in a lotus posture or even close our eyes… we don't have to stop for a long time … the important thing is the quality (depth) of our detachment from our activity... 30'' is enough...it leaves the remaining 3570'' to do whatever we were doing…

Let me remember who I really am… let me gather myself from all over the place and concentrate on the center of my forehead…let me put myself back into the right position… "I'm a peaceful being of light… a peaceful soul… I remind myself why I'm here doing all this… "

}This is not a ritual but something that will take me beyond thought and bring me into awareness...

I observe the direction of my thoughts, my words, my actions... if necessary, I redirect them or keep moving in the same direction with more clarity and focus....
I don't need to try to stop my mind, or even distract my mind with phrases that will end up being a mantra…I want to feel my true nature through deeper understanding...

This practice of remembrance is called 'traffic control'. It is a means to refresh, recharge and reorient. When we forget to stop, the traffic of the mind becomes heavy and the driving tense, tiring, stressful and irritating and our mind and nerves seem ready to explode! To prevent explosions and emotional eruptions, which ultimately destroy or damage our effectiveness, we need to relieve this pressure regularly so it doesn't accumulate.
