Be blissed out!
Greetings to you!
I was in sunny LA for 9 days visiting family, riding bikes along the ocean and making new memories! What I didn’t do was write a personal inSight, so today I will share with you some notes I took while I listened to Sadhguru - some life lessons that resonated with me.
Whatever you’re identified with becomes a part of you.
You’re identified with a whole lot of things you’re not.
If you're successful you suffer, you suffer taxes. You want children, they cause you suffering.
See life as it is. See very clearly.
What you're doing isn’t wrong, the way you’re seeing it is wrong.
Something doesn’t work in your life? That’s ok. Who has a life where everything works all the time?
Expand and raise your consciousness.
Expression vs perception. If you perceive well, your expression will be valuable.
There are 72 psychological ailments.
Everyone wants to be in a pleasant place. But your intelligence can turn against you. That’s mental diarrhea.
When your mind identifies you as something you’re not, your mind will not stop.
You typically suffer about things that aren’t happening (past/future).
Things won’t happen 100% your way. If you try, no one will want to be around you.
You can’t prevent anyone from dying, including you.
You decide the way you’re being. How you are is determined by you. Your experience of life is determined by you, within you, not outside of you.
Survival instincts are outward bound and your life won’t feel enhanced by perceiving them through the 5 senses. To perceive within you, you need to turn inward (not survival). Something has to be done. It’ll take effort and guidance.
If you try to enhance your activity without enhancing yourself you’ll only die of stress.
When a person is stressed out what kind of misery will they create for the rest of the world?
Anything that’s not survival will not come naturally. You have to strive.
Society has to create that longing that being peaceful and joyful is more important for a human being's experience of life, than me being ‘better than you.’
Don’t find an excuse for the way you are. You become wise or wounded.
