Enlightenment is not about becoming a better person, it’s about unbecoming a person.
You only lose what you cling to.
What is not brought to consciousness comes to us a fate. – Carl jung
Untill a man heals himself, he’ll be toxic to every woman who tries to love him.
Love is simply absence of judgement
Your apology needs to be as loud as your disrespect was.
We strengthen what we resist
We are being held back by what we are holding back
The highest form of human intelligence is to observe yourself without judgement.
every action is judged by the sentiment from which it proceeds
The tendency to avoid emotional suffering is the cause of all illness.
Give yourself the permission to create what you can’t find.
Zen lesson: Refrain from adding what is not absolutely necessary in the first place.

Your mind is not fixed on any emotions or judgments.
Taking pleasure in the smallest things in life can bring you so much joy, that it can help quiet much of the unnecessary mental chatter going on in your mind.
Mindfulness has also been shown to decrease the self-discrepancy gap. That’s the gap between the “ideal person” you see yourself as, and the “actual person” you are. This reduces the stress that you feel when you may not be living up to your ideal expectations.

When hunger is absent momentum sleeps – Sam Qurashi
Observations:
1. I seek attention and became a people pleaser because I never got any attention from family and was hungry for their appreciation. Be self sufficient. People always disappoint, you’ll never get the appreciation you crave. Approve yourself and trust the universe.
2. People cannot touch your mind with their judgements about you. Inside your mind there is another you who is taking shots at you. The judgement you place on others become his language while taking shots at you. Stop judging others to stop being sensitive to judgements of others.
3. If someone’s presence doesn’t make your life better, nor should their opinions. – Aman Varma
4. Knowledge without intelligence to handle it breeds arrogance. – Aman Varma
5. Ask yourself better trail of questions to get better answers which uplift your mood. – Aman Varma
6. Accepting yourself in not a one time thing. It must be habitual.
7. Tired after meditation – Meditation is much more intense in nature. In the beginning meditate at your home only. Outside there are many stimulus that overwhelm your senses. After meditating in nature you might feel more exhausted than if you had done inside.
8. Intimacy with yourself – Ever felt the sexual urges come up when you are alone? Intimacy with yourself need to be explored. It cannot in a social environment. You need privacy where no one can see you or judge you not even yourself. Solitude, meditation or simply silence gives you an opportunity to explore your inner intelligence. You have to get intimate with yourself deeply. Meditation is the only way I see.
9. Meditation in medicative – When meditating if you are not able to focus on your breath, you mind keeps wandering then let it wander. See where it goes. Mostly your awareness will go to those areas of mind where it needs your attention on repair. It can be bad memories of past, some very recent event, or future event. When your awareness is in a particular place pay attention to if there is any kind of resistent or discomfort in your body. In which part it is, what kind it is, why it is there? Ask yourself everything you want to know about it. Then accept it and release it. Let it go by saying that it is not serving you anymore. Remeber that you don’t have to go against these thoughts or feelings, they will come up, accept them, understand them and then release them. Your meditation must be least resistant.
10. Thoughts are movie – Thought is the dance between emotion and logic done by awareness. There are dimensions to thoughts – it is more like a hologram and not a 2D movie. It feels real as if you are in it. As it is the dance of awareness no thought is permanent. All the scenes are ever changing. If it comes it will go. There is a speaker in the mind. Your inner voice. Which cannot shut down. Which is narrating the movie of thoughts.
Here are four truths about feelings that may challenge you, and are guaranteed to increase your integrity and authenticity if you apply them.
Your feelings belong only to you
They do not belong to anyone else, and might not be shared by anyone else. Don’t assume others feel the same as you do.
Your feelings matter
Owning them and sharing them is an act of self-respect and assertiveness. It doesn’t make you weak. It makes you authentic.
Your feelings are your responsibility
Nobody else is responsible for your feelings. Not even the person or group with whom you are having conflict. They may have done something despicable which needs to be dealt with. Still, they did not cause your feelings.
Your feelings are a unique product of how you interpret what’s happening around you
You bring a unique set of experiences, history, values, and filters to any situation. The next person may have a completely different emotional response. So don’t blame your feelings on anyone else. Owning your feelings means owning the unique aspects of you that influenced those feelings.
What that means is learning to feel the sadness of the end of a relationship without falling apart. Taking brief moments to connect with one’s feelings when they arise and experience the sensations associated with the grief emotions, rather than ignoring them or pushing them away. Grief work is not wallowing in the emotion, rather it’s touching it and then returning to real life
One must remember that each time we recall a particular memory, there is always some degree of modification that takes place. The content of the memory itself, and our emotional response to it are not set in stone. Therefore, introducing a novel stimulus during memory activation, such as incorporating new information, provided that it is done during a crucial ‘reconsolidation window’ (of approximately six hours), can actually alter the same memory.
