Running Away In Different Ways

    Learned behavior can be very challenging to unlearn especially when you thought it was a healthy way to deal with life problems. Yes, it had its purpose for a time but now it is just embarrassing, obnoxious, and immature. There has to be a new method that creates a new groove in the brain so it can start to take a new form of action. The more we do not use that unloving coping mechanism the more likely it will become obsolete over time. It will take some time and a lot of vigilance when things get triggered and remember that this is not the way we want to react to the world. I am learning to slow down and respond with patience and love and just slow down so I can remember that acceptance is how to break free of the self-bound curse I recreate out of ignorance. What I want to understand is how I am feeling from which root cause is creating the drama. I desire to see myself grow as I become more self-realized and live these spiritual-based actions with empathy and selflessness. This machine of the world turns and churns us into a soup that is ready for the next expression of life as we age, die, and are released to a new form of consciousness. What form is next will be up to how I live this life and what I completed and what I was born to accomplish. Life goals help us keep up the hard work so we do not get lost in the distraction of too much pleasure and idealistic idols. Having faith to look at what is holding me back is a great and courageous action to start peeling off the shackles of illusion and bondage of the egoic condition of mind. I will do better to maintain looking at my reaction to uncomfortable feelings and resistance to having them run their course.
