Running From Yourself

It’s a great relief to accept yourself the way you are because the only real misery is wanting you to be in some other way. When it’s realized one has been running from themselves, there is peace.

When one awakens, the great secrets of the Universe aren’t revealed, although in a way they are, what really happens when one awakens is you stop running. That’s the main attribute of waking up from the sleep of unconsciousness, it’s not knowing what life is all about, it’s more so not being concerned with what life is all about. The running, searching, reaching, need to do, ceases and it’s realized what you have been running from is yourself. It’s a great relief to accept yourself the way you are because the only real misery is wanting you to be in some other way. When this is seen needing subsides; the need to be right, and also the need for things to be different, especially yourself. This doesn’t mean you don’t move forward to be the change that’s needed in the world, but it’s done so in a way that it doesn’t cause the very suffering that one is trying to change. When one stops running, one stops chasing, this occurs naturally. I ran for forty nine years and it nearly cost me my physical existence, I didn’t have a mental existence because of how the Conditioned Mind controlled me.

Basically this was my awakening, to see that I was always running from myself. It was revealed to me that I could stop running and I was going to be okay. This is a beautiful space to be in, it’s the space where the peace that passes all understanding arises. It’s not a magical place for a select few, it’s a place where everyone’s heart dwells, one just has to stop running to experience it. The possibilities when one stops running are endless, there are no blocks here so one’s creativity arises. No one knows what might arise, but I can tell you this, when you stop running reaching for things stops and life is lived in the peaceful state of accepting yourself as you are as nothing more is needed.
