Remove your programming – don’t replace it
From the start of our lives, we are conditioned with so many different things. Sasha Cobra talks a lot about this, and this video is only an example – I suggest you take some time to watch a few. She, and I both, would like to encourage you to seek your authentic self, the true you that you are. It is sometimes hard to find the real you, with all the layers of conditioning and rules placed on us from day one (and adding to that centuries worth of past life experiences, if you believe in that).
Often, we decide that a path that was once forced upon us is not the right one for us, and we decide to take another path – but how often do we take a path charted again by someone other than ourselves? For example, replacing Christianity with New Age is not going to do you much good if you decide to follow a certain teacher or a certain dogma alone.
I am not telling you not to listen to people, because often people come to your life to shake you lose from the shackles you’ve put yourself into, especially if a lot of people say the same thing you should take heed. Arrogance and stubbornness are not your friends; open mind is – open not meaning easily manipulated.
One of the conditionings have to do with our sexuality. For centuries, men have tried to make women more like men, and women have tried to make men more like women, both in the attempt to make it easier to live with the opposite sex and “fix” the opposite sex. Currently, both sexes are confused about what they should be, women struggle with home-work balance and men try to learn how to be more sensitive and attentive to female needs. It’s all good, as long as you don’t get lost in it. The sexes work in polar opposites a lot. In another Sasha Cobra video she explains the difference how men and women feel love – or fall in love. In short, women work through their hearts and men work through their penises. When a man fails to feel love through his heart first, the woman is convinced there’s something wrong with him or that he’s a chauvinistic pig or what ever… And when a woman fails to be turned on by mechanical sex, she’s going to feel like she’s frigid… Or most likely blame the man for being a lousy lover and not understanding her emotional needs but without realizing she should understand his needs, as well.
Having said that, we’re all individuals. We have our unique combination of male/female energy within us, just to mention one difference. Spiritually speaking we are in different stages, all heading in the same direction but from a multitude of different perspectives – all roads lead to Rome. The troubles begin when we are trying to fix ourselves and others to fit into some expectation placed by some authority or significant other. We’re also heading for trouble if we fail to see any flaw in ourselves, but always on others alone. Everything in life is about finding balance. It is the very first thing we start learning, finding our balance, to be able to sit up, stand up and walk. We go on to find more complex balances in life, and the hardest one to find must be the balance between what I think I am and what others tell me I am. You have to take both points of view under advisement, and if your self-image vastly differs from what you’ve being told over and over by different people, you’ll have to start wondering how can you better express your inner self to be perceived accurately, all the while as you keep true to the self you know.
Another thing Sasha said was along the lines: To know yourself is different to knowing where you’re going. You can never know where you’re going in life, the only place is here and now, and if you feel lost, it is because you don’t know yourself.
