The above quote is from a blog by Tenzin Lhabsum. His thoughts intrigue and inspire me to question myself at every juncture of my life. I feel the premise of his post is that if we face the fact the idea will dissipate and abolish the sense of opposition that we as humans create to avoid the facts. Accepting ourselves as we are and then deciding how to proceed in life frees us from the duality of opposition that we create for ourselves.
Like the yin yang symbol finding balance is good....
The more subtle the idea the more difficult it is to find the point of wisdom. Many of my desires are unconscious, not known to my mind, and those are the most powerful because they come from beyond a place of what is known by my mind; beyond conscious thought. When I realize what drives my wants/desires I move toward the intersection of wisdom in my choices.
Understanding and accepting myself allows me to know the truth of me. It is through this understanding and acceptance that I can then make change in my life. By removing the conflict between fact and idea I free myself to deal with the fact without the idea's interference. I come to know myself. Knowing who I am allows me to own what I do, and by owning the truth of myself I can then choose to let it go. A wise woman once said that before we can release something we must first own it. Owning the fact of me allows me the opportunity to own my total self, and by owning that I can then release my attachment to the idea of me..
