The mind can have programs of self-entitlement.
The mind constantly estimates our own worth. It’s calculative. It always looks for ways to find faults in other people. It always looks for reasons not to love, not to respect, not to admire another person, because if we do, we get ourselves into a “trap”: we would have to acknowledge that another person has something that we don’t and we might want to have that. The mind then can use a strategy to obtain that quality by trying to possess that person. The mind is possessive.
The mind looks for ways to survive, so it also looks for ways not to accept any faults, but to blame another person. Everything that the mind does inside of us, it tries to preserve a sense of identity that we are used to, because any change equals to death, not literal, but identical. Our inner world then shakes. THere is instability, there is fear, there is aggression against the one who shakes that world. There is unacceptance and destruction of either a relationship or the ego-identity.
Our ego-identity protects us from any change, good or bad. But the true growth happens when we are at least slightly open to it. The big changes come through crises. If the person has a little more awareness, the changes can happen inside through gentle work, acceptance of what is and courage to take action.
The main obstacles to our own happiness are in our mind. And to clear those obstacles some sort of work on the subconscious needs to happen. I invite you to a 40 day meditation of balancing heart and mind, allowing the deep knowledge of the soul to reach our minds so we are more loving, accepting, harmonious about what is.
