SUFFERING
𝑺𝒖𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒅𝒐𝒆𝒔𝒏'𝒕 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖. 𝑰𝒕 𝒓𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖.
The work here lies in uncovering the source of this repeated behavior, and by association repetitive choice, otherwise we are simply mired in a neurotic cycle.
Sometimes this is an obvious thing - our abused girl has associated love and pain in her definition of relationship and, until she untangles that association, will continue to seek it out.
Sometimes it's not so obvious - a child who was the subject of an unsuccessful abortion (yes, it used to happen pre-Roe v. Wade), or who was actually not really desired by the mother (society obligation, religious obligation, escape obligation, emptiness to fill, etc...) might live in a state of feeling constantly rejected, unloved or unwanted.
Uncovering this Original Wound sources the genesis of the behavior and gives us something with which to work.
• Shifting that awareness from the head to the heart - shifting the knowing of thing into the owning of a thing - is the first step.
• Learning to be present in our lives in such a way that allows us to recognize when we are playing out, or beginning to play out, our "game" or "dance" is the next step.
• Choosing not to make the Original Choice based on the Original Wound is the third step.
• And, finally, sticking to the Alternate Choice is, ultimately, the key to lasting change.
Not sourcing the original wound and remaining stuck can lead us to an experience that can range from passive resignation to pathological mourning.
STOP
Stop having relationship problems with people you're not in a relationship with,
and stop having friendship problems with people that aren't your friends.
SOCIETY
We have no shot at creating a thriving human society without seeing the truth.
And we can't create a thriving human society without making this a society that is conductive to people being truthful.
SIT WITH IT
Just sit with it.
Instead of drinking it away, smoking it away, sleeping it away, eating it away, fucking it away, buying it away, talking it away, socializing it away, or running from it,
Sit with it.
Healing comes by feeling. Nothing else.
People run everywhere to avoid their uncomfortable emotions with distractions or go to hundreds different healers and so on...
Both are an escape. There is no "doing" to feel.
Just sit with it.
MEETING HER
If you look at her
picture
long enough,
she will seduce
your
imagination,
she will undress your
self control and you
will have
had
a
taste
of the best love you
never made.
Now try to know her and you’ ll be confronted to yourself.
You’re never not ready for anyone, you’re just not ready to meet yourself.
When any kind of resistance is appearing and you resist, you broke already life’s magic
Comfort zones kill. Cause life keeps on transforming. Keeping the same beliefs or states of mind forever as if curses were existing, is equal to inner death.
Only dead things don’t change.
TANTRA
Tantra teaches you to reclaim respect for the body, love for the body.
It teaches you to see the body as the greatest Creation of God.
It teaches to move and flow with your body whatever its condition, good or bad, and not fighting against it.
I like to call it "the Royal path". Because it is the only spiritual path, that doesn't exclude the rawness and wildness of the human experience.
It teaches you how to be alive. Even when you suffer.
It teaches you enlightenment through all the experiences of life as all is divine, with no saint or sinner, without denying or avoiding anything of it, but in transforming it.
Tantra is the religion of the body. And when I say religion, I don't mean the religion you might think of. But its real meaning.
Religion, from Latin, "relicare", therefore "to connect with".
To believe requires faith.
To live requires experience.
Tantra is the full experience of life itself, within ourselves.
While majority of people are disconnected from the body, which holds all the wisdom and the mystery of the Universe, Tantra teaches you to be able to live the whole Universe within yourself.
Tantra is a path of Life allowing you to unlearn all the non sense that has been taught to you until now.
Tantra (Tan-tra which means "liberation of form") offers the possibility to reach spiritual realization in the world and through the world, for the tantric route is a paradox where the walls of one's prison are the roads to one's liberation.
Tantra is for those who want to fully experience from themselves this Connection between microcosm and macrocosm.
"Otherwise you will never turn on, and you will never turn in, and you will never turn beyond."

THE WATER'S VISIT
The water in your body is just visiting.
It was a thunderstorm a week ago.
It will be the ocean soon enough.
Most of your cells come and go like morning dew.
We are more weather pattern than stone monument.
Sunlight on mist.
Summer lightning.
Your choices outweigh your substance.
Feeling deeply is dangerous, doing anything else is tragic.
THE KISSY POOL OR THE WHOLE OCEAN
You don't want to wake up & realize that you spent most of your life playing in a kissy pool when a whole ocean of experiences were at your fingertips
When u don't read that it’s the box u put yourself in, greet the brilliant minds that left u their genius in stepping out of the road
Ancient wisdom for modern Women here we go!
Our bodies & especially our wombs, are temples of Wisdom & exploration
Diving in it, is a jump in the Unknown, cause only experiencing it can open gates in our minds we didn't know existed
Its is a holy place, a woven of Nature
We might live in buildings & houses, our whole body is made of Nature & Life
It is painful & alarming how much we have been conditioned to betray & deny ourselves this reality
Just as we look for God in a faraway place when Life itself is the evidence of the divine, so too do we abandon our bodies for a greater authority than the autonomy of knowing what is already within
What would change if we truly realized & remembered that we are sacred?
How would this change what we put into our bodies? Who we allow into our bodies? What power we hand over? What compromises & sacrifices we make for inessential desires, hungers & social acceptance?
If we knew that we were sovereign creator beings, directly empowered by the Love of Source, which is our nature & who we are, what choices would we no longer be willing to make in order to fit into a society that has grown out of the roots of the disease of forgetting our true nature?
How can remembering our bodies as sacred be the very medicine that ends all wars, slavery, genocide, disease & separation from the love that is all there is?
Lifetime inner work yes, but isn't it the most worth of all?
The vision is for the appointed time.
Anyone with a vision isn't a coincidence.
It's a purpose.

In every story there is a hero and a villain
In ur story u’re both
All the bright aspects & all the dark aspects of yourself
Orchestrate the meleody of ur song
A song that u need to hear first
Before anyone else.
In order to hear it, u have to listen
To listen not only to what u want
But also to what u are afraid of
Your fears & your darknes aren’t detach from u
Face them, internalize them, analyze them
The shadow is always there & will always be.
But it can look big or small depending on the angle
From which the light caresses u.
What is the size of ur shadow?
If I personally love Carl Gustav Jung’s work ,
Its because its one of the few that has attempted to bridge
The notions of psychology & spirituality
In an effort to discover ways to transcend the human condition.
I guess we are all familiar to the concepts of Jung
Taking into consideration the ego, the archetypes, the anima/animus
And the Self.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality,
(especially in a judeo-christian society where people reject evil & play the good ones)
For no one can become conscious of it without considerable moral effort
It involves recognizing the dark aspects of our personality
As present & real.
This act is the essential & a condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
So how did the world get there?
[SUBJECT: OUR SHADOWS]
We look at the world right now & I guess we can all agree it’s a damn MESS
The hidden madness of the collective Unconscious has been projected into matter
I came to the conclusion that it is caused by a huge lack of introspection
HOW MANY TIMES DO WE QUESTION OUR REALITY?
What we keep on escaping in ourselves, all the dirt of our being that we project into the world & other people, is by far, the biggest issue
Its easier to point others than looking at ourselves from close
Fact is, owning our shadows is a great gift for oneself but for humanity too
Once we acknowledge and bring into the light of consciousness the worst of ourselves,
Our life stop being led by it, we can have more compassion for others behavior
And we stop transferring on others our own inner darkness
Result: a healthier, human and respectful world.
The most dangerous people are the damaged ones.
Cause they know how to survive.
Matter of perspective.
THE YOGI
The Yogi does not pass his time in some vague meditation
He is constantly occupied by an
intensive work which is the exploration, in ever-increasing depth, of this image of the Universal Being,
That is his own body
He explores all the nooks &
crannies in which reside the mechanisms that regulate his physical & mental activities
He investigates &
gradually enlarges the narrow & secret passages that will enable his higher faculties to escape from their corporeal prison
He must force certain passages, but he must be careful not to damage this marvelous
dwelling place which is his body & which he must
maintain with care and love
All asceticisms, all brutality toward himself is forbidden
Yet RULES aren’t existing neither
This paradox written in all Yoga different lineages, makes often a total sense when life seems to crumble down & when the floor underneath seems to open & makes us fall in an infinite hole..
Majority will escape it in order to avoid « pain ». With distractions, inner lies, excuses to stagnate & defend their inner beliefs, to not feel lost or go crazy, protecting the ego
For those who will accept to feel it ALL & accept to live FULLY the human experience, which is basis of Tantra, will go so deep within, they ll realize there was NEVER any floor underneath themselves
There was never ever ANYTHING that involved any kind of limitations in our Freedom, & there: the gates of all Dreams come true
Who cannot sit with his inner world & feel any emotions passing by, will never reach the doors of Heaven
Nothing is to be reached out there.
Many will always be so disappointed when they ll « reach » anything, observing they are still in the same state & limited consciousness than before
Its about expanding
«Who turns within, awakens »
Self-Realization is about constant self-inquiry & the deeper oneself goes, the closest he is of Oneness
Yoga has nothing to do with looking perfectly wise, calm & healthy
It has to do with being raw as fuck, aligned with the present moment
Looks actually terrible sometimes
Le plus long voyage que nous ayons a parcourir est celui qui separe notre intellect de notre coeur.
L'etre ou le paraitre.
GRIEVING
Unfolding and embracing grief, has been my greatest teacher in the last year
(not sure I would have asked for it neither as the pain can be unbearable and will walk with me for a long time)
What a humbling journey taking one day at the time, i walk
In the Lakota/Sioux tradition, « a person who is grieving is considered most wakan, most holy. »
I understand why now
There’s a sense that when someone is struck by the sudden lightning of loss, he or she stands on the threshold of the spirit world
You might recall what it’s like to be with someone
who has grieved deeply
The person has no layer of protection, nothing left to defend
The mystery is looking out through that person’s eyes
For the time being, he or she has accepted the reality of loss and has stopped clinging to the past or grasping at the future
When some people can see a person grieving « abandoning »life or seem uninterested anymore, it’s correct, the desillusion is so huge, it brings this person on an other dimension:
The here and the now. The » I », we all are. Grieving bounds us to Eternity
In the groundless openness of sorrow, there is
a wholeness of presence and a deep natural
wisdom
Grieving is really the hardest work I had to do and still am doiing. It’s accepting to see parts of ourselves leaving. « From ashes to ashes »
We believe we loose people, situations or things, when actually we just have lost parts of ourselves and need to continue on a different path, being an « us » in a different life equation. Death is hard for the people who observe and feel the losses, wondering how can such pain even exist or even wonder if living is still worth the shot.
The emptiness and the memories can fill our hearts of sorrow and paradoxally lead to the most infinite LOVE & gratitude never ever felt before. We can also die in the process or we can use it to create something new, & yes, make us believers.
Yet grieving, as a recall of human existence, bonds us to all other humans in the strongest way I have ever experienced into my life
« When my heart is weeping, I hear the hearts of the entire world weeping »
