Comments on: The Worst of Times, or… The Best of Times? http://daily.finerminds.com/mind/the-worst-of-times-or-the-best-of-times/ Your daily dose of personal growth Tue, 16 Mar 2010 10:25:46 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Jane http://daily.finerminds.com/mind/the-worst-of-times-or-the-best-of-times/comment-page-2/#comment-2411 Jane Sun, 10 May 2009 08:25:48 +0000 http://daily.finerminds.com/?p=1495#comment-2411 Hi Arjuna, I deeply respect you for answering the responses to your article. A while ago now I had what you would call a peak experience which showed me how I was giving my power away by thinking I was a victim. What happened was that suddenly a discontinuity occured and a gap appeared and in this split second I `saw` that without doubt I was not who I thought I was, I was not limited, and much more than I thought I was. It was me who had placed limits on myself. I had identified with my thinking and thought `I think therefore I am`. What a shattering moment but also what a liberation. I saw that I had been living in a thought form which was restrictive and had kind of imprisoned me, but which I had thought was true. I also saw I had been livinging a polarity of strong/weak and my ego thought I of course was right when I saw certain people as weak. What I didn`t know was that one side of a polarity cannot arise without the other and the weak part which I had disowned and projected on to other people was well and active in me. But this weakness which lived in the darkness of my ignorance, which I will call my shadow, held a treasure as I was able to see that neither side of the polarity was good or bad as it was purely a judgement on my part. I have been on my journey a long time now and have been moved to go beyond both. I don`t run away from so called negative feelings either - I now experience them fully and in so doing I have been truly able to begin to dissolve a feeling trapped at the cellular level as I saw the pattern which I had created and which was running through my life. Once you feel and see through this unresourceful state then it`s impossible to continue doing it,no matter what the outcome might be in letting it go. I don`t think you can dissolve hidden unconscious patterns by not thinking about something which might be distressingbecause I think it is only by facing,and not avoiding, that we are given the opportunity to grow. All the very best, Jane Hi Arjuna,

I have one question which i wanted to eagerly discuss and get solution from you that over a period of i am developing that whenever i practise meditation and also the awakening procedure which you have told, sometimes unwantedly many negative thoughts will arise counter acting it and makes me very unhappy.(they arise in such a way that when i think now i am doing meditation and your practices i will be away from thinging any negative thought, i think like that and meanwhile some negative force, automatically brings some negative thing in mind parallely when positive things are going on ) i know if i do it regulary i will over come these thoughts, but they are present in the subconscious mind and pop up all of suden, and makes rest of the my meditation time or when i pracice awakening , it disturbs me and sometimes they overpower too causing unhappy , but after sometime i get again a fresh positive way to elimminate them and i feel good that time , and keeps practising it. I thought i will discuss about this and if you have any suggestions for me . i will be highly thankful. Looking forward for your reply. Best wishes ,Krishna. Hi Arjuna,

But I have a question. When we are facing with a non logic or sensible man who just thinks about himself and himself and doesn't accept any logic suggestions. How we could say we solve or disolve our problem. Iam wondering to what to do? I wish to find a way not to think to my problems and forget them. Hi,

I thought, "what kind of awakening coach has time for such a thing?" i am touched to see the follow through. I've yet to look at or try the free gifts, but will, and hope they will help me make some much needed adjustments. I attend an Eckhart Tolle group from time to time, the host of which commended "Translucent Revolution." My serendipitous encounter of you here Arjuna, seems to be pointing me toward it again. Thanks for the encouraging article. Yeah i was really surprised to see Arjuna say that he would respond to each person who commented.
