Kõik on hästi
“Perhaps
our dreams are there to be broken, and our plans are there to
crumble, and our tomorrows are there to dissolve into todays, and
perhaps all of this is all a giant invitation to wake up from the
dream of separation, to awaken from the mirage of control, and
embrace whole-heartedly what is present. Perhaps it is all a call to
compassion, to a deep embrace of this universe in all its bliss and
pain and bitter-sweet glory. Perhaps we were never really in control
of our lives, and perhaps we are constantly invited to remember this,
since we constantly forget it. Perhaps suffering is not the enemy at
all, and at its core, there is a first-hand, real-time lesson we must
all learn, if we are to be truly human, and truly divine. Perhaps
breakdown always contains breakthrough. Perhaps suffering is simply a
right of passage, not a test or a punishment, nor a signpost to
something in the future or past, but a direct pointer to the mystery
of existence itself, here and now. Perhaps life cannot go 'wrong' at
all.”

Mõte
Kui kõik kogu aeg muutub, muutub millegi nimel pingutamine täiesti mõttetuks.
Aga oma tõde tuleb ikka elada, isegi kui vahel tuleb kirglik tahtmine kõvasti pingutada :)

Jeff Foster spirituaalsetest õpetajatest
ON ABUSE AND "SPIRITUALITY"
"You attracted it because you desired it".
"If you
think there's a problem with another's words or actions,
YOU are the one who's
confused".
"Everything is just your
projection. Everything is in your mind".
"Clear up your vibration
and you'll stop attracting bad things to yourself".
"You are too attached to
the body. Go beyond the body. It's not who you are."
"If you have doubts,
fears, resistance, pain, anger, then you must be in your ego and
totally
unenlightened".
"The past is an illusion. Let it go
right now!".
Ugh. I'm so tired of all this New Age spiritual
bullshit.
I'm tired of ANY spirituality
that doesn't fully honour
our messy, unresolvable,
first-hand, real-time, embodied human experience.
That doesn't bow deeply to the
struggle of our raw and tender hearts.
That guilt-trips us for our
imperfections and shames our limitations.
No, it's not always your
projection.
Yes, sometimes other people
really ARE abusive and need to be stopped.
No, everything isn't always
"in your mind".
Yes, your body matters. Your
feelings too.
No, your doubts and fears are
not 'wrong' or 'bad' or 'unevolved'.
No, you do not 'attract' abuse
through a faulty 'vibrational frequency'.
No, you do not deserve to be
violated in any way, in the name of Truth, in the name of God,
in the
name of Love, or IN
ANY OTHER NAME.
Yes, your boundaries deserve
to be respected, your 'yes' AND your 'no' too.
No, it's not okay for
spiritual teachers to abuse people "for their own good" -
to shock them
into awakening, to enlighten them, to help them drop
their "ego".
Teachers that use abuse as a
tool are simply abusers, not teachers.
I reject any spirituality that
dismisses our tender, vulnerable, fragile humanity.
I reject any spirituality that
shames us for our precious human thoughts and feelings.
I reject any spirituality that
begins any sentence with "if you were enlightened..."
I reject any spirituality that
divides self from no self, divine from human, sacred from
profane,
absolute from relative,
heaven from earth, duality from nonduality,
material from spiritual...
