You Are Not Your Body (spiritual quotes) Nor Your Mind

You think that you are this body you are flowing through. You have that body, but you mistake it to be who you are, and it is not.

You think that you are this mind that flows through this body. You have that mind, but you mistake it to be who you are, and it is not.

This belief that you are this mind-body is the only thing that you have ever suffered, and are still suffering. You suffer this because you have not yet seen the need to consciously focus your attention into the present on a momentary basis.

You will carry on mistaking yourself to be the body that you are flowing through in every moment that your full attention is not given to what is simply right here before you in this moment. Because of familiarity you will automatically gravitate to the “no conscious attention” state. Here, you are asleep, and you accept this to be your normal daily living.

This sleep-walking through life enables you to carry on making yourself as comfortable as possible in the circumstance of the pain and suffering (with occasional and much sought-after moments of pleasure) that you find yourself in.

Fortunately for you, you do not see what you are so constantly closing the door on; the love and light of your heart. You settle for what your mind tells you about it instead.

To realise this one that you are, requires a mind-body (a vehicle, a person, an individuation) to realise it through. You, as your heart, created this vehicle for you to realise your true nature through.

You; your true nature, is already right here and flowing through the eyes of this mind-body that you mistake yourself to be. When you energetically find and stop at and as this one flowing through your eyes, you will come to rest as who you are. Here, you are deeply at rest, and abide as and in the obviousness of your true nature. Here, you no longer mistake yourself to be something that you are not.

Who you are is already right here. You can actually be who you truly are right now, immediately. It is an entirely different motion to the one that you are currently playing out. You can stop suffering the nightmare of the mind informancy of this mind-body right now. You can do this simply by giving all of your attention to this present moment and seeing everything, just as it is.

Because you have been trying to be something that you are not for a very long time, this activity has a real charge to it. It will take some “practice” of seeing and being who you are for this activity to lose its momentum. There has been a huge investment of energy in this trying to be something that you are not. Because of this it will not just suddenly stop because you have begun to see who you are. You will need to bring your attention back into this present moment again and again. And again.

This simplicity of bringing of your attention into the moment is all it takes for you to be who you are. It is all it takes for anyone, teacher or not, to begin to live their true nature. And your mind-body is not you; it is the vehicle that enables you to give this attention and to realise who you are.

Building Up Self-Confidence

By Janet Erickson

Only a few individuals really make it in life. A vast majority of individuals are withdrawn and timid - they are not able to make a lot of friends. Boys don’t find dates easily and young ladies are unable to make an impression, all because of their lack of self-assurance. Can you stand a speaker whose style does not have conviction? Shy speakers don’t captivate their audiences. They are unable to be compelling. In short, their speeches are not able to have the necessary pep and spirit to be stimulating and wind up falling flat.

A lack of self-assurance is what stops most people from being assertive, successful and finally happy in life. However, if you can recognize that you do not have the self-assurance you desire, you can work on building it up and making your desires of success become a reality.

How to we define Self-Confidence

If you are able to pick out the characteristics of an individual who is brimming with self-assurance, this will aid you succeed in building up your self-confidence. How do you know that an individual is self-confident? It is easy, really. If you are well-balanced and self-confident, you are assertive, your body language conveys your self-assurance, you hold your head high, you talk with self-assurance but not with arrogance, your attitude is confident, you pursue your goals with determination - well-prepared to take on all hurdle because you don’t avoid taking measured chances when ever required. And whenever you make mistakes, you promptly own up to them. Your plans are set with reason, keeping in mind a honest appraisal of your strengths, your weaknesses and your skills and talents.

Building Confidence

While attempting to establish self-assurance, you probably will have a couple of questions to ask yourself. Is it possible to establish self-assurance? If by nature you are not normally endowed with self-confidence, you may think you stay that way forever. Not necessarily. You are able to actually take small but attainable steps in order to form good confidence. However, self-confidence and success are interdependent. Usually, you can’t achieve your goals without self-confidence playing a role inbeing part ofyour efforts and without success you can’t have confidence.

If that is the situation, how do you establish confidence? Good question . Begin by setting yourself a small enough goal that you can achieve it without too much difficulty. Then attain it and watch your self-assurance grow. Repeat the steps, every time making the goal a little harder than before and gradually build your self-confidence step by step.
