Guest guest Posted June 4, 2002 Report Share Posted June 4, 2002 Sat Nam Neshamaaa You said "the part of me who wants to withdraw wants to sleep/tune > out/feel dissapointed with myself and disgusted with others. .... There is another kind of withdrawing ----a kind of letting go of control" I make a distinction between my inner and my externalized life. Problably the distinction exists because I allow dualism. Withdrawal into an non-social, internal world is only possible with that dualism. The Mool Mantra begins Ek Ong Kar, Sat Nam. It's all about that non-dualistic way of being. It's a way of being where dualism is not a problem. There is a true self where dualism plays no part. There is no possibility of withdrawal. Sounds like you withdraw into negativity. I do that, but it is so uncomfortable that I really work on it and negativity rarely dominates my life for long, although I have that tendency. Letting go of control --- I don't relate to that as withdrawal. May be of the will? Sitting back and watching the world happen when you really need to be an actor. I allow that behavior and it is a terrible problem at times. With me that kind of withdrawal is unconscious and therefore dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
