Are we truly see ourselves for what we are?

[tsiouz]

Now im not trying to back down the effort of anybody for anything that works on the inner self,even if he is going the wrong way. And im certain that below the feeling of some people of try to be special,there is a struggle for them (including me in advance) to discover the inner part of themselves. But i've got a weird sensation when im looking my self and others around me. Well after the seventies a wave gradually started to emerge. Seminars of meditation like silva,reiki,Fortune telling cards,energy centers and much more which the last decade grew rapidly,up to these days and the only thing you have to do is to open a computer to write down what you heard. And then comes the paradox. For the last years as more people starting to occupy themselves with these ideas, as less true progress you see with them. Infact is a lot easier to be misinformed rather to find answers and make realizations than going to ease your mind and your soul.and as more people are coming to give you an answer you seem to be more confused then ever. Meditation groups,groups which are going to ancient places to make fiestas,people introducing themselves as masters,feng shui,philosophy and blah blah blah. But somewhere in a point you've got this strange feeling (at least i've got it) that forgive me for the phrase, thing it is not so real anymore. And these days it is seems to be that you have to be more careful than ever in order not to get fooled,or the most common thing,fool yourself and even most common and dangerous thing not to even realize,crystalizing and making solid ideas not so well processed. And then when you do fool yourself without noticing,you find a group which is sharing the same mistakes and you're opposing yourself to anything that insult your beliefs. Which in turn is making you baptising that stance a change,despite the fact that most of the times you see people losing weight fix their job contitions,change their appearance and no inner change comes. And you come then claiming of one thing and the other,giving a statement of big words sort of this is my truth or there is a reason behind everything or how good is the change you make.Which unfortunately is not the truth. Many times infact we change the outer shell so much,in result convincing even a trickster.And then help and sharing comes with honesty convinced of the revelation that came to our eyes of course,forgeting that the mind resists any form of change constantly. And under that changes nothing.It looks like it does but it doesen't. Sort of like an animal who is changing hair or teeth but hunts reproduce and keeps its habits in the same way. It seems that somewhere in a point of our lives which we can recall,we lost any form of honesty to ourselves. Most common possibility is that in order to protect ourselves from the cruelty of this world and survive,we started confusing ourselves by becoming hypocrites to our own eyes. That is just sad. Im going to accept with warmth and discuss any comment that comes after thought and consideration happy that somebody wants even to argue with me in order to share his thoughts with me and carries enough suspicion within to see that something that he reads can have a base built in truth.Or disagree with that. And if he or she has an answer without to many words ill be happy to hear.

Not unless you push aside your personal ego. You can get in touch with your divine ego in many ways that will open up a new understanding of yourself.

Naa, 99% of time you see yourself it is from a reflection. And 99% of the time others see you it is direct. Given the reverse nature of mirrors, you never truly see yourself....as others do.

Good.Then maybe the problem is how are we going to get an objective image of ourselves.

Warheit im pretty certain is that our ego as it is is the one we're not able to recoginse. pushing aside any ego gonna make you an eggplant.
