Question: Do we change ourselves/programming or do we accept it? And by accepting we just become witness to our mind
A beautiful question asked by ☁️
I believe like all things in life, there is a dance between the two acts. One creates a foundation for the other to exist, there is a reciprocal awareness between mind and wisdom.
My understanding and also experience has led me to realise that if we can just accept the mind and our programming……then why are we still suffering? By trying to achieve true acceptance, there is this experience that comes as a sort of tumultuous resistance, death/rebirth of our ego-mind. The ego prefers us to stay where we are and does not like the idea of acceptance because essentially, that is the end of it’s role in your life. It is the very nature of the mind made self, the ego, to create personal realities from the impersonal. So this is the very reason we have difficulty accepting what is and becoming witness to our mind.
Glimpses of this is of course attainable through mindfulness, but does it gift us the whole experience, the ability to walk freely, in observation of the mind, life and our existence in it?
I believe, through my own experience that when we work directly with the subconscious mind. We are able to completely rewrite our programs which therefor create a different printout of reality. If we are changing our programs to be more at peace, to accept life as it is, to know that we are always safe, are worthy of love and success and presence. Then this will make the acceptance and being witness to our mind, achievable. Because our programs are making that a reality for us, and we don’t have the disempowering, cheeky or self-sabotaging programs running on autopilot throughout our day, which in turn makes it hard for us to truly accept what is - when there is chaos and resistance in the mind. Rewriting our programs gives us the opportunity of peace within the mind.
I believe to find peace and presence on the level we need as an individual, we need to first start with our programming. This will lead us to the very acceptance that all is as it should be, daily observation becomes simple here. 🙏🏼
