Hello Dear Ones,
Like many of you, I also wondered and questioned the purpose of my life, the reson behind my painful, turbulent life.
"Why am I here?"
"Who am I?"
"Why there is so much suffering in life / in the world?"
"Why do I suffer in spite of being and doing good?"
"Who / what is God?"
I realised that the answers to all these quesitons are within us, YES, you heard it right. They are within each and everyone of us. You might ask, "where is it in me, why can't / don't I know it?". The answer is it is buried deep inside us, covered only by our own ignorance.
"How do I know?," you may ask. First thing is to accept whether we agree with it or not, that we, everyone of us, all animals, plants, sentient and non sentient beings are divine beings. The divine essence is the one that supports and animates us. If we go outside searching and seeking for it we only add more layers of ignorance that covers our true essence. All religions show the path outside of you. BUT the path is inside.
So, istead of asking how to find myself, a better question is to ask
"What have I done / what am i doing to cover my true being / essence?"
This quesiton does two things. (1) it assumes that we are divine beings (2) it implies that what we are is a result of what we have done to outselves. From this place of taking responsibility if we look inside of ourselves, peeling layers and layers of ignorance, we reach a place where we realise that we are the one who is seeking ourself.
It is not metaphysics, not any philosophy nor a path for only saints and sages.
It is the simplest TRUTH and our most intimate essence.
This is sanity.
This is only the sane way of living, true 'living'.
HOW DO I KNOW THIS?
Since childhood, finding/understanding the TRUTH of my life was always in my mind. Consciously or unconsciously, I was seeking MUKTHI, without knowing the meaning of that word.
I struggled with depression and anxiety for over 30 years. Going from frying pan to fire, the environment I lived was emotioanlly and mentally abusive one. To avoid the pain of neglect and rejection, I became a people pleaser, bending over my back to please others, ignoring / numbing / burying my own feelings, needs, wants and desires. But, no amount of people pleasing behaviour pleased the world. Finally I reached a point where I had no energy, strength or motivation to pelase others as my own pain became unbearable. In my late forties and fifties, I was almost unfunctional in my life after several years of mental and emotional abuse, neglect of my own self, lack of understanding and support, career burn out and exhaustion. I was weighed down with intense and incapacitating feeling of fear, guilt, sadness, and loneliness. With no job, no motivation, energy, or enthusiasm I was totally lost in the void.
But the internal drive, the yearning for self-realisation MUKTHI that I had from childhood, stayed with me al the time. It guided me to hundreds and thousands of self-development books, scriptures, YouTube videos, and teachings of many anscient and contemporary spiritual teachers from all over the world. Leaving no stone unturned, in my effort to feel the long lasting peace I implemented every teaching that resonated with me.
I found out that there was no one single magic tool that healed my deep rooted conglomeration of mental emotional pain. The healing took place in layers using different techniques. It was and is a painstaking and painful process of Expereincing, Experimenting, Integrating and Transcending (EEIT) each emotion, both light and dark. It is this personal experience and knowledge that I point to you to be free of suffering and to live in balance.
Now, I connect with my inner self, attain and retain my inner peace at will. In other words, my mind is quiet enough that I am rooted in the present moment (ie) being in the present moment is my 'normal' mode of existence and use my thinking faculty as needed.
While my doctorate degree in Physics enabled me to have a successful teaching career, it is the Psychology degree that gave me a deeper understanding of the mind, the Counselling degree that equipped me with tools to interact with people and above all life lessons and introspection that gave me this deep-rooted peace. I am aware, alert and in balance.
