Salvation through personality development?
Quasi through the refinement or readjustment of our socially conditioned masks? (Origin in Latin. Persona = mask).
By reinforcing the identification with a false self? For an even more successful adaptation to our sick societies?
Who believes in this, possibly loses a lot of money for various coaching measures.
How do we want to live relationships?
14 years ago an ex told me on the day we fell in love:
"I don't want a relationship with you, but I want to relate to you!"
Unfortunately, we weren't ready yet. It turned out to be a classic, romantic - and at some point anything but romantic partnership.
This man also told me:
"You are LOVE yourself, the other one just reminds you of that!"
I was blown away! And then the game took its course.
Beauty
She is sought and cursed, mocked and loved. She magically attracts and elsewhere equally repels.
It is celebrated or punished. Admired or condemned.
The beauty of nature is spared from critics.
To be attracted to it may be. Beauty in humans or things is subject to other paradigms.
In love with people
Once you have left the classic relationship model and no longer want to use someone for your own unresolved processes or other issues that have to do with shifting responsibility, you begin to perceive and recognize people more purely in their essence. Simply as what they are. With reduced personal linkage.
Innocence
Among the most regrettable things about becoming an adult, for me, is the abandonment of innocence, the fooling around, the honest disclosure of one's naiveté, the unseriousness.
At some point, we are so focused on being taken seriously that we lose our comedy.
Rediscovering happiness
Do you still remember those states in which one was refreshed with happiness and wants to embrace everyone who comes along? Where happiness literally bursts out of your body and you don't know where to go with yourself! Grinning all the time and wanting to share your state with everyone?
Be wild
Life is too short to spend it with restraint and suppression. Tantra says YES to life. It is open to all experiences. It goes fully into the experience but with awareness. It observes instead of evaluates. Especially in the painful experience lurks knowledge.
