All we somehow try to get away, cut off from reality. Each in his own way, but the goal is always the same - to hide, to hide from the fact that there is. If you think that this is not about you, observe how something you oppose this fact puts a protective barrier. You have a whole bunch of reasons that this is not the case that you have all the way around ... You are defending, and in fact can only be protected from reality. terms of escape from reality, all of us can be divided into two categories. Notice how you are alerted ... You want to know what kind of category, and which one you get. Because now you have a chance to define itself in another context. Of course, you may be a little insulting - because you want to see yourself beyond classification, the one and only - then again experience the barrier that you dissociate themselves from the possibility of being the same as many others, fall into the same category as you ... So, the two categories. The first - the ones that run from the reality of who artlessly by going head first into everyday care in relationships, emotions and so on. If you suddenly realized the futility and fragility of worldly vanity, trying to find myself in the spiritual world, a religious person or "practice", you - the second category - a severe case, that is, those who are making an effort to, as it seems, closer to reality, thus moving away from it even further. Perhaps you hope that there is some third, safe category ... Feel like you are trying by all means to protect themselves from this fact - only two categories. quirky Most would think that I, like a psychologist, a limited range of the studied problem, just do not know about the third category of "elite" coming to reality yet, and not from her. Still, you might think that I know about the "elite" and only encourage you ... About provocation you are partly right, but the category is still only two, and you are in one of them. Notice how you are looking for more and more ways to get away from that. Another response - you agree with me in advance, I admit, that run from reality and wait for what's next on the text you will be offered a "technique", which takes you back to reality. .. Technicians will not be, because it does not exist in the first place, and secondly, give you a technique - you crawl into it so firmly that you have there will not dig. Now, cornered, you may proceed to the heavy artillery and ask, "What about the Buddha, Christ, Lao-Tzu? .. they do not escape from reality? ..". Now we are enticed and admire its false hope of enlightenment. If we really wanted him, we would have brightened yesterday ... So, we have shaken one of the niches of life - spiritual development. As a niche can be a family, and work, and work, and entertainment - anything. And we all have the one here - we somehow need support, a point of reference. We need a niche that you can take, nor, to which you can dive from which it would be comfortable to survey the world. we inevitably form a kind of semantic field of the moment, the current day of the current period of life ... In this field we dive head, running away from reality. We perceive the world in a distorted way, in the context of our current condition, whether incidental pursuit of money or resulting immersion in yoga. The essence is. Current conditionality captures our image of ourselves. After all, one way or another, we want to be somebody. We need to identify yourself. Everyone is trying to establish itself permanently in the fact that "I - family man," or "I - a businessman," or "I - sloven," or "I - Yogi", or "I - incorporeal essence embodied in the body," and so on. Our conditioning supports self-image and the image itself - which in turn strengthens the conditioning. At this stage, we can see two choices. The first - say, "Well, to hell with it ... I'm just fine ...". It is an act of self-preservation - it pushes you to the more full and sweet introspective. This is the way an ostrich with his head in the sand. Understand that even though your head and hid the rest of your frail body still stupidly stuck in reality. second way - this is when you are ready to break its ideological refuge for the understanding of reality. The second case - again heavy. Your current conditioning is real, and you are now trying to deal with the same reality, digging once the ideological context. So, how to make sure that our perception of the world has become undistorted? At first glance, we are at an impasse, because any action taken from state of the current condition, only reinforces this conditionality or change one another. First we need to see the global cause of this situation. We need to feel, why all this way and not otherwise. We must observe it in yourself, but our observation is not to be associated with the further action. We have to realize the cause of the condition, but not to change it, and not for anything else. Just realize that. Let's find out what makes us always by all means provided inside something. It does not matter even what. While inside, we experience something important. Something which is not on the outside, and that we so need. Obviously, we need a sense of stability. Anyway, we are committed to this. The greater sense of stability gives us our current conditioning, the more deeply and fully, we dive into it. stability gives us a sense of security.But protection from what? What are we afraid there is a niche of our life? Let's not answer that question, realizing the mere fact of a fear, which drives us inside. So far, we do not call it, to determine - or we lose it. Now we have this fear is necessary as the vector in the direction of the outside to the reality. We have to feel it and go for it - this is the same thread that can lead us out of the maze of conditioning. Perhaps you are ready to move cautiously on this thread out. But this is just an image. In fact, you do not need to go anywhere. What if I told you that you have to exit out to be psychologically vulnerable? Feel like something is compressed within you? The very idea of insecurity makes you inner protest. Helplessness - the flip side of reality. But something inside tells you it is a reality you do not need. Now you can watch as you do not want to see the world as it is. And that's half the battle. You may also experience a backlash. You saw your conditioning, your fear, your unwillingness to see the world, want at all costs to part with it and eliminate what we lured out and forced to stand before us in all its glory. You do not want it, and then trying to restore security. Imagine that you were completely naked in rush hour on the main street of your city. You feel ashamed and embarrassed. You are defenseless. Now, imagine that in addition to the body, you also scored inside. All of the most remote corners of your soul, even those whose existence you themselves difficult to admit, now presented to the public, and anyone can be picked within you as he pleases. If this had happened to you, you try to run away, hide, cover up to give us something. But this happens to you twenty four hours a day, and you keep closing more partiality image of himself, trying to convince him otherwise. You do not want to undress in front of all his soul, want to sit in a hole. But what about the reality that you want? Or do not want to? On the other hand, being in our sample naked and defenseless, you can say something like "yes, I am, and I do not care at all like ...". Now you will not be embarrassed and uncomfortable. And all because you chose a different form of protection - the indifference and narcissism. You do not feel threatened, so again went into another conditioning. Now you can see what is actually involved, diving into the family, work, religion or yoga? Even if you try to go into something opposite of your usual niche - the result is the same - a new stability, the new conditionality. So, we have a vulnerability - a condition very uncomfortable. Now let's see what we are defending. What we really fear? I will say that we are afraid of losing ourselves, we are afraid of losing the "I". We are afraid that we do not prolong itself in time, in every next moment it will not we. We need order to arrange themselves.Otherwise, chaos will spray our ego. Chaos is unstable, he was always new. Our "I" can not survive in such a reality, and it is best to be protected. I am afraid that my girl stops me know, I'm afraid for her to become someone new, I'm afraid to become the person she is not accustomed to love. I am afraid that my friend did not know me, I'm afraid to be the one he was not accustomed to respect. I am afraid that my boss does not know me, I'm afraid to be the one he was not used to appreciate. I am afraid that in a second, I myself do not know if I will be who I used to be. I am afraid that the reality seeps in and I disappear. we run from reality, do not want it to be just because we know that when he saw the reality, we do not see it myself. That's what we are defending, here it is - the reason for fleeing. How many times have we tried to overcome their ego? How many times trying to get out from under his authority? The ego always wins, proving stronger, faster, smarter. We were looking for a way to the mode and each time wondered survivability ego. Now what? Now, as a naked and defenseless against reality, we find a weak ego and intimidated. One wrong move - and it will go glimmering and disappear. Why earlier it was so strong, and now trembling with fear? The fact is that before it is fought with them, becoming more and more of this. It knew that the games it does not get any, and at the same time keep you the illusion of control. Now that we have chosen to insecurity, discomfort and fear - the ego appears in his true form. Now that you are helpless in their helplessness, you have a choice. One way - just open the onslaught of reality, let it enter into you and destroy what you so bravely guarded. Then turn to your vulnerability invulnerability - you have nothing to defend and openness will no longer scare you. Or you can return to the bosom of conditionality, gradually patching holes in it Realized again stick his head in the sand of the family, work, or yoga.
