I Surrender All

As one man said, “I got a pretty good education. It took me years to get over it.” That’s what spirituality is all about, you know: unlearning. Unlearning all the rubbish they taught you.

— Anthony de Mello

Base your spirituality upon facts, not beliefs, theories, or ideas.

As I have already told you, the tide that rose in the unconscious after the First World War was reflected in individual dreams, in the form of collective, mythological symbols which expressed primitivity, violence, cruelty: in short, all the powers of darkness. When such symbols occur in a large number of individuals and are not understood, they begin to draw these individuals together as if by magnetic force, and thus a mob is formed. Its leader will soon be found in the individual who has the least resistance, the least sense of responsibility, and because of his inferiority, the greatest will to power. He will let loose everything that is ready to burst forth, and the mob will follow with the irresistible force of an avalanche.

— Carl Jung

The Star

Hope, Inspiration, Guided by the Universe, Connection to the Divine, Good Health, Prosperity

When dust from the crumbling of The Tower has settled, The Star guides us forward. She lights the way and reminds us that we are capable, resilient and strong.

zenwords:

Our outlook is how we experience the world.  If we are happy, we have a happy outlook.  If we are anxious, the world looks scary.  If we are depressed the world seems oppressive. Our outlook is tainted by our inner state. Our inner state is affected by our outlook. If we want to change our inner state, we can look out for our outlook.

Our outlook feeds our moods. If we confuse our outlook with how things are, then we will unconsciously feed our moods.  If we see problems wherever we turn, we will become annoyed. As we get more and more annoyed, we see more problems. Then we get angry and we start to notice things that tick us off. Then, we get so ticked off that we break down and become sad. When we’re sad, we see things that are wrong with us. Then we become annoyed.

We can get stuck in this kind of cycle at any time. In order to break the cycle, we look out for our outlook. If we notice our opinions and judgements of the people and things around us, we can notice the tone of our thoughts. If the tone is negative, we are feeding our distress. If we catch ourselves doing this, we can help ourselves by refocusing our outlook. We can intentionally expose ourselves to pleasant smells, tastes, sights, sounds, textures and thoughts. There will always be something beautiful in our immediate environment. If we practice looking out for that beauty we change our outlook. We change our world.
