Awtar -- Response: Would like advice from Gururattan : )

[Guest guest]

Hi Awtar,

 

Thanks so much for taking out the time to respond so thoroughly to my

post. Appreciate what you shared and how in the situation, your mind

got at first caught in the drama and then you were able to stand back

mentally and not take it personally. Think this is key. For some

reason at times the mind seems able to do that and then at other times

gets totally engaged, I think it has something to do with the

vibration I am in at that moment.

 

In my spiritual study they say that kindness is giving positive for

negative -- that seems to me what you did with the woman you worked

with. What a wonderful way to communicate -- first you looked to

understand her positive intentions behind what seemed negative, I read

about this somewhere recently, but what a great example! Then you

showed compassion to her by helping her to feel positive with you

again...how great and beautiful.

 

Can I work with you! LOL : ))))

 

In my situation I think there is like a " thought-energy " from past

injustices that were done to me that were a lot. It comes up and I

feel very negative. There has to be a way for me to rise above that

energy so I can feel forgiveness and love. Think that fear of

survival is underneath it all. After I posted on how great I was

doing, another bout of the misery came up.

 

In my study they say that there is a law of rhythm that our mental

states fall under it also, just like in the physical realm how rivers,

oceans the moon etc. all has a tide, the mind and it's emotions etc.

all have a tide too..

 

Anyway, i realize that only something higher can overcome something

lower, when I am taken over by the negative, there will be no way to

overcome it. Dr. David Hawkins in " Transcending The Levels of

Consciousness " talks about the different between the two part of us --

spiritual=power vs. carnal=force. Only having more spiritual power

in terms of energy and my energy field -- will enable me to overcome

the negative carnal thoughts and energy field when that comes up in me.

 

Recently I met someone that had a Kundalini awakening, it was

spontaneous. Their energy was so amazing, so strong, so full of love,

it has only been them (in my search of 9 years) that could take away

that negative, when it was there inside me, just by being in their

presence. That is why I am now looking to build that spiritual energy

within in any way possible.

 

Thanks again for responding to my email! If you have any other

suggestions as to building the spiritual energy -- please let me know.

 

 

Best wishes! : ) Christine

Dear Christine:

 

Sure we can work together! I do spiritual guidance by phone when

appropriate.

 

What you are describing is very normal and yes I am certain it has to

do with past life stuff. Even in my example it had to do with past

life stuff. All the thoughts that come, the interpretations... they

are rehashing of previous experiences that are no longer true... The

trick is to come to see: what I am thinking is not what is actually

happening. And the beauty of it is there is no therapy, no analysis,

no processing to do! Just noticing and breathing and accepting.

 

Are you doing kundalini yoga regularly? Do it if only to know what it

feels like to go through something difficult and to keep up and

breathe through it.

 

Strategy: Don't expect it'll be fixed instantly! Just watch yourself

live and observe without judging yourself. Like a tennis student who

keeps missing a ball at the same time in responding to the strategy of

her opponent, she notices, she notices and yet she keeps missing...

and at some point she forgets her mind and her body takes over and she

returns the ball beautifully. That's the process of integration. You

have no control over how long it'll take.

 

Other point: You are already perfect so anything you are trying to fix

about yourself is an aspect that has nothing to do with you to start

with. It is therefore a waste of time. I have done this many years on

myself. I know! LOL

 

So in difficult times just stop arguing with others and with yourself.

At first simply practice just stopping the drama and breathe and if

you are with someone, let them know you'll get back to them but you

need some time alone. Find any excuse to find yourself alone so you

can breathe and step out of the drama by reminding yourself: " I am

responding to something in me that is not mine, I am tangled up with

something in me I thought was mine and it is not. " Then ask yourself:

" Who am I then? Who am I if this part of me I am arguing with is not

me? " And only expect that who you truly are is something perfect...

Anything else is something you have accepted about yourself but it is

time to think about it as not-yours anymore. Breathe through the whole

experience. That is the reason you practice yoga in the classroom or

at home, so in moments of difficulty you remember you can breathe

through it. That's Life Yoga! LOL

 

Blessings,

Awtar Singh
