The 58Th. Points to Ponder.

Greetings,

More points to ponder:

A negative possibility would only create one moment of fear if the complaining mind didn't repeat the idea over and over again.

It's more important for me to know who I'm not, rather than who I am. I know I'm not my complaining mind. Thank God I'm not that neurotic.

You don't have to like what’s happening, but something good does comes from everything in some corner of the universe.

It's delusional to just make something up and then believe it. We're doing this every time we think our opinions reflect the truth.

If you don’t know what happens next you can't really know that this moment shouldn't be happening.

If you save a complaint for later it might never exist.

If you don't think you can meditate you might not know the practice. Who can't notice a thought, allow it, release it and then look again?

We need to allow each others' shadows without taking them so personally, and stop condemning everyone else's like we don't have one.

If you're not really listening to someone you end up in relationship with your imagination.

I wish you could feel what meditation practice can do. What if you could stop thinking of something when you wanted to? You might love it.

Positive thoughts are fun but they're only needed when you're counteracting the compulsive negative ones. It's actually nicer to just "be".

At some point your response to your inner critic will be an automatic, skillful and wise reply. It will be so natural you can just relax.

What if you could approach life as if you were "In love" with it? When we're in love, anything seems possible and we cherish who were with.

It's time to consciously re-train ourselves. We have to inspire a compassionate imagination and re-convince ourselves we all deserve it.

When you really see that we all have a negative part of us that we need to manage but don't need to be ashamed of, we can drop our judgment.

Peace to you.
