Our purpose for existence in our lives is much more than saving the day, we are all high-meaning beings. That's why memorized rituals work just as well as cheating on an exam. That's why it doesn't work to repeat what everybody does without feeling anything just because everyone else does it or just because we can. While there are so many rituals available in these times of technology and knowledge, it is partly because what some of us fall in love with means nothing to others.
Whatever our choice for this year, under all circumstances, what we need is to take our own responsibility as never before. How were your school years, I don't know. Are you one of those who cheat or who cheat? Maybe you were not in either group and you were very angry with both the giver and the withdrawal. Regardless of the group you are in, you will remember that the cheating system works more easily in written exams and that it does not work with the same efficiency in verbal. After all, even though the same questions were asked to all of us, the fact that a friend of ours solved the question did not make everyone pass the class, and it could not. The place we can reach by cheating is as much as the continuity of the copy source; We all know that this is not infinite either.
It is said that rights and freedoms will be at the forefront more than ever in this new year as we enter the Aquarian age. Of course, with the prerequisite that we can protect these values in order to defend and protect them.
One of the most important goals of our lofty meaning in life is to reach our own depths. As you know, the bottom is completely silent and free from the sound of waves on the surface, birdsong, ship engines, and everything like the surrounding city noise. However, in the crowded and polyphonic world, it is not possible to easily hear the voice of the person next to us, to hear our inner voice and connect with it. For this reason, the most important part of the journey to live is the part that needs to be walked alone at times. Only then will it be possible to hear the polyphonic orchestra inside, separate the notes from each other and separate the tunes and bad sounds.
Keywords that can make all this possible; taking our own responsibility. Choosing to take on our responsibility will be the step towards transforming our lives completely and living the longed-for happiness by getting free from everything that does not make us feel uneasy, unhappy, belonging to the space we are in.
Monk Swami Vivekandanda “We are responsible for what we are and what we want ourselves to be. We have the power to make ourselves ”he says.
Yoga can teach us to bring out this power to take our full and total responsibility in our lives. Being aware of what is happening moment by moment as we move on the mat, keeping the breath in the focus of attention, is the first step that teaches us to be responsible and to be confident in ourselves. Our bodies don't lie to us, they can't tell us. Everything that happens at that moment can be noticed by sensations and is real.
Hence the term in its own limit. Just because another friend with whom we share the class performs a pose at a deeper physical boundary does not mean that we can, and more importantly, do. Just as our classmate solving the question did not make the whole class pass that lesson. For precisely these reasons, we can only do border research by letting ourselves be heard and free from outside sounds.
Well, even though you are someone who intends to purify, do yoga or follow rituals regularly, you sometimes call yourself to yourself as in that song, "Is there something missing in my life?" do you find him asking? Even if you have a better job, a better home, a better income, maybe a better partner relationship than before, are those gnawing times familiar, struggling with insufficiency, maybe an individual feeling of inadequacy? As you enter this feeling of insufficiency, a state of deprivation that can be passed on by achieving more in life, such as photographic poses (maybe flexibility, maybe natural predisposition, maybe muscle strength, maybe exercise history, etc.) not.
Our journey of life is more about getting more, it's about knowing more and being who we really are. Our longing for more, and worse still, our dissatisfaction will never end unless we make the choice to take responsibility to be ourselves.
If we have not learned to accept ourselves, even if we somehow capture moments of happiness, we will still be ourselves who do not allow us to enjoy it. Nothing will ever be enough for us unless we choose it from the heart. And if we still catch ourselves thinking that something is missing in our lives, relationships, jobs, we'll probably be that missing self. Ourselves who are not fully present in the moment. Because happiness involving satisfaction requires that we fully participate in our lives right now.
Our need that enlightens the way of all decisions, all wishes for the previous years, this year, for all the years to come; volunteering to take responsibility for our own happiness and health as a whole. This responsibility is the only thing that will contribute to the furthest from our closest contact with the butterfly effect. Moreover, in this way, while fulfilling our responsibility in karma, we will be inviting the heightened consciousness and peace from now to the future.
I'm not sure if our journey is about knowing more. Important might be knowing ourselves but accepting us the way we are is the key. It would be so much easier without psychology.
