little help

[Guest guest]

The originality you perceive is your false sense of self, your ego. When

you engage in full metta loving-kindness, you connect with your true self

-- radiant, loving awareness. It is the perfect loving emptiness of a

master, and it is absolute freedom and bliss.

 

For me, this began by taking the phrase " you are not what you imagine other

people think you are " to heart. I then started seeing the ways in which I

was centered not within myself, as my true self, but in an ego that " was "

whatever I " imagined " (read: we don't really know what others are thinking,

nor should we really care, but we spend a lot of energy guessing) other

people saw me as. Loving kindness meditation is a great way to break that

cycle and realize that you, just as you are, a cloud drifting across the

sky, are perfectly imperfect and have all you need to be blissful in this

moment and all those that will follow.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Peace,
