The only way in which someone can help you questioning your ideas. If you are ready to listen and if you are ready to be challenged, something you can do, but nobody can help you.
What is the most important thing of all time? It's called self-observation. Nobody can give you a hand in this. No one can provide a method. Nobody can show you a technique. By the time you learn a technique, it becomes scheduled again. But self-observation - ie look at themselves - is important.
not mean to be absorbed in their problems, be worried about him. It is not what I'm talking about: dell'autosservazione speak. "What's that?
It means to observe all that is within us and around us, to the farthest point, and observe it as if it happened to someone else.
What does that last sentence? It means that you do not customize what happens to us. It means looking at things as if they had no connection with them.
The reason we suffer because of your depression and your anxiety is that you identify with them. Say, "I'm depressed." But this is false. You are not depressed.
If you'd like to be precise, you might say, "Right now I'm going through a phase of depression." It is not correct to say: "I'm depressed." You are not your depression.
is not that of a kind of deception of the mind, a strange kind of delusion. You have been led to believe - even whilst not being aware - that you are "you" your depression, you are "you" your anxieties, you are "you" that your joy and emotions you feel.
"I'm happy." Surely you are not happy. It may be that happiness is "inside" of you right now, but wait ', and things will change, will not last: it never lasts, things change constantly, always changing. The clouds come and go: some are black and others white, some large, others small.
If we follow the analogy, you would be the sky, looking out over the clouds. Would you be passive observers, detached. I know that this attitude può essere per voi assurdo, soprattutto nella cultura occidentale. Non interferite. Non dovete farlo. Non "fissate" nulla. Guardate! Osservate!
Il problema della gente è che si affanna a fissare cose che non riesce nemmeno a capire. Siamo sempre lì a fissare delle cose, non è vero? Non ci viene mai in mente che le cose non hanno bisogno di essere fissate, assolutamente. Questa è una grande illuminazione. Le cose devono essere capite: se le si capissero, cambierebbero.
