Robert Adams napisał(a):The worst thing you could ever do is to judge yourself. Never judge yourself. Don't even look at yourself too much. Realize your divine nature and do not allow your problems to get to you. Understand that you are not your problems. You are not the body. You're not the thoughts or the mind. And begin by controlling your thoughts. Do not allow your thoughts to become greater than you. No matter what your thoughts tell you, don't listen. Remember your thoughts are not your friend. Your thoughts try to confound you, confuse you. And they will tell you all kinds of things. Do not listen to your thoughts, even your good thoughts. Transcend everything, go beyond your thoughts to your bliss, to your joy and to your happiness. Your thoughts will take you away from this. It'll make you think all sorts of things.
But if you realize that your mind is a trickster, you will not allow your thoughts to convey any message to you at all. As soon as the thoughts start to come, you ask yourself the question, "To whom comes these thoughts?" and they'll stop. "They come to me, well who is this me? Who is me? I am me. Well, who am I?" And you begin to search for the source of the I. And as you search, everything in your life begins to improve. As you search diligently, things improve because you're no longer reacting the same way to situations. Your reaction has become different, the situations maybe the same.. In other words what you realize is the first principle: "Everything Is A Projection Of Your Mind." Whatever you see is a projection of your mind. Therefore if you see something that's not right with another person, you're seeing yourself, aren't you? If you're seeing another person who is troubled or another person who has problems or if you're seeing anything wrong, doubts, apprehensions, suspicions. You have to remember that you have to have those qualities in order to be able to see them in another person. So as you grow, you start seeing through those things. And whatever anybody else does no longer disturbs you. And if it no longer disturbs you then that negative vibration cannot come near you and you're at peace.
SD: When you say not to judge yourself is that because you would be judging the ego which isn't real?
R: Certainly, exactly, because you're always judging your experience, your outer experience and you can't judge that because that doesn't even exist.
SD: I think in the past you've said something like, "To judge yourself or condemn yourself is blasphemy." (R: Yes.) Because you're talking about, in that case the real Self, right?
R: What you're doing is you're denying the real Self. It's like saying, "That God is no good." So you're saying there's something wrong with you and there is not. It's only temporary, it only appears that way. It's an appearance. (SD: So even though you're judging the little self, as it were, that's blasphemous too?) Yes because you are the real Self. It's all an illusion like the snake and the rope. You think in the dark you're stepping on the snake but it's only a rope. It's a mistake, it's error. Therefore you do not judge yourself, you do not judge anyone else. You leave the world alone, but you're happy and you're blissful and you help others because that's your nature to do so.
