Looking in or looking out

Are you looking in or looking out ?

We are never at fault.  Other people is always wrong . We are always right.  We look at people’s mistakes and we point to them and push all the responsibility to them. This is looking out.  Most of us have this mentality and act like an arm chair critic. Yes, why not ? Otherwise, our eyes will face in instead of face out.  Yerrr, how ugly would that be ? So, Nature also favors this mentality. This is our justification and our argument.  Period.

Do you ever look inside ?  Yes, our eyes are make to look outwards but we have a thing called “ mirror”.  We always call out to the mirror . Mirror, Mirror, Mirror , who is the beautiful of them all ?  When we look at the mirror , we only look at the beautiful side of our face and body. We admire ourselves  and we intentionally, avoid the ugly side of our face and body.  This is self denial.  We think we are the most perfect and beautiful being on earth.  How wrong can we be ? Your Ego is blocking you.

How do we look inside us ? Close our eyes and focus.  Turn your internal sight inwards and relive your experience. Go through it as many times as possible and  identify your weakness and let your ego go.  Be aware of our weakness and go through it objectively. If you can go into meditation, you can let yourself free but keep your internal eyes focus on your weakness and accept that you have these weaknesses. Your ego will fight with you and you will need to negotiate and convince your ego. You can do it very effectively if you discuss or argue with your ego in your mind.  There is no third party to look at you or see you.

We have to repeat this process several times and wake the Buddha in us to defeat our ego. Once, we defeat and let our ego go, we will be very clear in our mind and we can see things more objectively and things become more clear.

It can be done. Don’t be scare to face your inner self  or inner demon  ie your ego and it  will not be as bad as it seems and you will win the power to see and be your self.

Namaste.
