Guest guest Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Are your feelings hurt easily? Do you stand your ground right or wrong? Do you take " pride " in everyhting you do? Do you have desires that you fulfill quickly and repeatedly? Do you expect to be given that which you give? Are you correct no matter what? Do you justify your hurts towards others or towards yourself? Can you experience change easily? Just some ideas to consider. - chrism Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 I'm sure some of you have heard of the mirror concept. Everytime you have issues with someone this is a gift, a reflection back to you, a chance to see what is triggering this ego reaction and why. When I first heard about this concept I had a boss who was often a bully to me on the phone. I was like " no way, it's her not me.. " I did eventually realize what my part of that relationship was. I was defensive due to some self esteem issues. Once we learn what these (perceived as)negative experiences are teaching us about ourselves we can learn from that, thank the other people involved in this learning experience, and grow as a person. We agree at a soul level to interact with others in this way to provide learning, growing experiences for each other. blessings Tilly , " chrism " <> wrote: > > Are your feelings hurt easily? > > Do you stand your ground right or wrong? > > Do you take " pride " in everyhting you do? > > Do you have desires that you fulfill quickly and repeatedly? > > Do you expect to be given that which you give? > > Are you correct no matter what? > > Do you justify your hurts towards others or towards yourself? > > Can you experience change easily? > > Just some ideas to consider. - chrism > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love what you said, as I'm a survivor of childhood bullying, and my whole life people have told me " it's not about you, it's about them " . I got that intellectually, but not down in the gut. It never quite worked for me. Then I came across an adult bully who verbally battered me for hours in a situation I could not get out of. When it was over, I recognized that while he accused me of many horrible things that weren't true, what he was really saying was he had no trust, no love, no sense of compassion, no true friends. Gawds that was awful. I felt so bad for him. What he put me through seemed to shrink to nothing compared to what he must live with. And that's when " it's not about you, it's about them " finally meant something to me. I did > eventually realize what my part of that relationship was. I was > defensive due to some self esteem issues. As a bullying survivor I know this is absolutely critical to understanding why the same children keep getting bullied while others don't experience it. The challenge is coming up with a way to get this across to people (especially to kids) without them reacting by feeling blamed. I know that was the core of my own resistance to the idea growing up. I totally see it now, but back then when people told me I was too sensitive and that was the cause of my pain I wanted to kill them (laugh) .... > Once we learn what these (perceived as)negative experiences are > teaching us about ourselves we can learn from that, thank the other > people involved in this learning experience, and grow as a person.

When I got that about this guy I was overwhelmed by love, gratitude and compassion for him. I never want to see him again but I will always honor the lessons he taught me.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 The pain body ,eckhart tolle I love him!, I don't belive in war on the ego either Brandi, Ilike to learn from my ego , projections and painbody . I also read an interesting book power vs force by D. Hawkin. He believes war on anything is a mistake , resistance is persistance, we should respect, emrace and learn all parts of ourselves , they are there for a purpose.

Sort of like the attitude we have towards money. We do everything we can to get it but we're ambivalent about its value. Then we wonder why we have no control over it (laugh). I have a kinder take on the ego. It's necessary to human survival. The ego isn't always " wrong " . Making our own ego automatically wrong is every bit as foolish as making someone else's wrong. We can't always control it - and when we think we are, that's when it's least likely to be the case. What helps is constant awareness and vigilance. As Tolle says, simply becomeing aware that your ego may be functioning in a given situation is more than 90% of us are capable of, especially when strong emotional reactions are at play. > > Brandi > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here. If we hate the ego, we hate ourselves in a way when you think about it. It's there for a reason. I also read an interesting book power vs force by D. Hawkin. He believes war on anything is a mistake , resistance is persistance, we should respect, emrace and learn all parts of ourselves , they are there for a purpose. I totally agree with that, Tolle says some similar things. Brandi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
