Removing the Cover

My experiences communicating with other people helped me grow the most. I mean everyone including my Wife. All were my teachers.

What I learnt was, no matter who we are talking to whether it’s someone special or a group of individuals; prior to any meeting, I had what could be called expectations. I expected everyone without exception to behave according to how I expected them to behave. If the meeting went well I would have feelings somewhere between ok and very satisfied. Or the meeting could result in feelings of not very happy to feel very angry and deeply upset.

The wake-up call for me was to notice that all the feelings I had because of any personal meeting initially were blamed on the meeting itself. That thinking was false as all the feelings I had was a result of expectations I had stored in me as beliefs. The expectations were the problem. The problem was in me not outside of me. I was allowing external happenings to rule over me.

As any feeling between others arises in me I would think ” release all expectations” don’t think! I would notice my breath and smile like a child.

Over time I slowly noticed a freedom I had never experienced in my life before maybe only on rare occasions.  To me what happened was a miracle. To move from a life dominated by others to a Life of openness and freedom, I notice a power in me that is in all peoples and is covered over by most like the covers on a cricket pitch. No one can do it for them. Each has to find their own way to remove the cover self inflicted due to thinking.

Become a noticer!

Your Power lies within.
