It seems that it is quite popular to think that one can not root out the causes of anger, lust, greed, fear, pride, addictions, hatred, gluttony, etc. It seems quite popular to think that you cannot change, just learn to live with these low, sleep-inducing states within us; everything that is causing suffering and is taking away our experience of This Moment.
I wonder how that is… I have read some statements about why they think it is so, and from what I have understood, they give the following reason… That we need to accept what is, and if we try to get rid of the things which cause sufferings, we do not accept it and therefore we bring suffering again.
In a way, there is a truth to this. And I am saying this from my own experience, my own exploration. In a way it is true, because if we are trying to get rid of these states when we are absorbed in them, it won’t work… I mean, these states are the states that we want to break out of. And if we then try to get rid of them by getting absorbed in a negative state, it obviously is a dead end.
However… There is a way to make them go away… Still being in consciousness, in awareness… It is not a will from the negative states… It is you own will… Still in calmness… Just as we can choose to be in awareness, we can choose to apply a technique which is said to get rid of them… And you can feel them go away as you apply this…
The technique is not complex, it is very simple… We are in awareness… We observe all of these states as they arise (small aspects or big outbursts), calmly… Watching… And when we observe one of these negative things within us, we ask for its disintegration… And then, if applied correctly, you can feel it go away…
This technique, if used properly and for a long enough time… It is said that you can notice a difference inside of you. Because as it is explained, when you eliminate these negative states within yourself, consciousness that was trapped in them return to you, the “main consciousness” and your consciousness expands and the lower states reduce. But it is a gradual process.
It is said that our total Being has many different parts… And the two main parts are called “Divine Father” and “Divine Mother”. It is the female aspect of our Being, the Divine Mother, which is said to have the power to disintegrate our negative states, our egos. So it is her that we ask…
This takes some exploration to get right… It needs to work together with awareness and self-observation… And we should ask sincerely, with a true will to get rid of the egos… But still in awareness, don’t get absorbed in egos, because that only strengthens them…
This blog post is not the best, so if you truly wish for inner change... I would recommend to read and explore techniques given in this book: http://www.belzebuub.com/belzebuubs-printed-books/the-peace-of-the-spirit-within
I thought I'd end this post with a quote from The Flight of the Feathered Serpent by Armando Cosani:
“Watch and pray” was the heritage left by Christ for the courageous.
Watch is to do everything awakened; pray is a feeling of ardent yearning to be one with the Being.
However, he who prays and watches, even though they do it in an imperfect way, will receive generous help and he will learn to receive generously as well…
The help is in the Here and it is Now.
Best of luck
