Wild Self Acceptance

The spiritual journey has many seasons. Just as day follows night, and spring comes after winter, we too constantly shift and change.

Egos famously try to resist both change and our deepening into truth. So we might find ourselves caught in thought circles that being sticky, persist even though we wish they would stop. But there is a key hidden in those thoughts which is why they are there.

Premasudha describes how a seeker learned about himself greater through the experience of such an eruption of thoughts.

This one made progress by embracing herself no matter what, No matter how difficult or smelly or corrupt or whatever. It was like there was nowhere else to go so I just ended up embracing myself and you know giving over to the creator and letting myself be shown. Okay, So one of the things I saw is that even when our thoughts erupt with something we don't want to think about, Even the topic of the erupting thoughts will be telling you something about your journey. You won't be able to see the message in these thought eruptions until later, Until after it's over. But the usefulness is that you might, It might help your self-knowledge. Okay, So there's a lovely young man who was with, You know, He considered the love of his life but he kept on having these thoughts about this girl from 10 years ago who actually rejected him and it was really bothering him and he was thinking, Well, You know, I don't know that I'm going to be able to marry the love of my life. Maybe it's all going to go off, I'm going to really ruin things. So he got more and more heady, More and more trying to fix, Right? Okay, Think of yourself in that situation. I mean, This is what we do. We sort of get in a pressure cooker with whatever is happening and we try to fix or want to fix it. Okay, So there are a couple of clues to this, The thoughts that were erupting. One is this girl had rejected him, Had made her lack of interest very clear. So my bet is this guy actually has trouble receiving love and has trouble validating his true nature, Which is like most of us and he's young, So blessings, You know, It's all good. But you see the message in choosing to obsess about this person who rejected him, Showing how he's treating himself really, His own dear heart. So this one just helped him with kind of into a wild self-acceptance, Which is this one's forte, You know, Because it's the only thing that works. A wild self-acceptance, You guys, That is what, That's what the journey is, Finally.
