This last month the most important thought and experience that I’ve been wondering about and want to share with you is about
-- accepting others people’s changes--
We are changing all the time, we are always in this process, sometimes for good sometimes for bad. It is very difficult to change if other family members, friends, or work partners don’t want to see our self-transformations, and vice-versa. It is not nice when someone hangs a tag on you that says that you will be like this for the rest of your life no matter how much work you have done to become a better human being. If we do not embrace and acknowledge, our, and others people’s good shifts, it is very hard to live a community transformation. It is a series of SLOW
changes over the course of the years that create long term evolutionary changes.
and yes... I know!!! It is sometimes so difficult to get rid of our bad habits.
I found out that when practicing silence, it is easier to catch these thoughts that trigger these impulsive reactions that later on we lament so bitterly. You don’t have to pay for an expensive retreat in the mountains to practice silence. You can talk with your roommates or your family members and explain to them that you want to keep silence for one, two, three... days, believe me it is such a beautiful and powerful tool.
“Observe your thoughts, Correct your conduct”
Watch out! you really need to let the people know that you are in a day of silence, it wont be nice if someone talks to you and you don’t answer... aah haaaaaaaa!. I have so much to talk about experimenting with silence, but... so far... just... Try it!... Enjoy it!... Observe! (Fantastikoooooooo)
