Imaginary Enemy
No one can make me feel anything that I don't already feel somewhere deep inside. If someone tells me I'm too tall, it doesn't bother me. If someone says I'm too short, I might feel a little hurt because at times in my past I have felt short. If someone has a judgment about me, I only care if I have that same judgment. We are all mirrors of one another showing us where we need to be more self-accepting. Now when a button of mine gets pushed and I feel even the slightest bit reactive, I know there is some aspect of me I'm not loving. Understanding this, I can say thank you and get to work rather that going to war with an imaginary enemy.

About Me
- JarlSays
- Sausalito, California, United States
- My purpose and vision is to live an authentically responsible life in alignment with my True Self, joyfully expressing my creative nature, nurturing and fostering a heart alive with wonder and awe. Meditation, tai chi, self-inquiry, reflection, therapy, and an extensive reading of Western psychology and Eastern spirituality, have helped me to develop a serious commitment to living in the moment in peace and joy. Through my persistent questioning regarding troublesome aspects of my own life, I have cultivated effective techniques to guide myself in learning how to recognize, examine and transform the beliefs I hold that cause suffering in my life. Love, gratitude, and surrender to what is, is the key to living a life in flow.
