We usually create them. Out of fear, out of lack of knowledge or understanding. And because they are our own creations we get very "attach" to them, and we always seek for tokens of evidence. If we don't find them, we invent them. If we invent them, we believe them. Apparently we trust, most of all, our minds or better said that "voice" in our minds.
"Unconscious phenomena have been held to include repressed feelings, automatic skills, unacknowledged perceptions, thoughts, habits and automatic reactions, complexes, hidden phobias and desires. Within psychoanalysis the cognitive processes of the unconscious are considered to manifest in dreams in a symbolical form. Thus the unconscious mind can be seen as the source of dreams and automatic thoughts (those that appear without any apparent cause), the repository of forgotten memories (that may still be accessible to consciousness at some later time), and the locus of implicit knowledge (the things that we have learned so well that we do them without thinking).It has been argued that consciousness is influenced by other parts of the mind. These include unconsciousness as a personal habit, being unaware, and intuition."
A self-defense mechanism?! A self-preservation?!
"Do you know that usually when someone fights with you, you're nothing more than a mirror in front of that person. She/he is not fighting with you, but rather with herself/himself."
As everything in this world, every action causes a re-action. We are offended by the reaction that we see, but we don't think that we cause it through our actions, and aware of not, (most of the time, not) we still do blame ourselves. Usually the reaction that we cause is nothing else than an extension of ourselves. The reaction should make us see our actions. Unfortunately we only see the other one's reactions and judge them without thinking at our mirror. Our actions are controlled by our thoughts.And controlling our own thoughts and mind, is the hardest thing to do.
All our lives are a long chain of actions and reactions, in everything that we do. Call it a "vicious circle", if you want. Aware or not, we react to someone's actions, and vice versa. Unfortunately most of the time we let ourselves be driven by unconsciousness. We think and react according to our fears. We create our own truth and we trust in it.
It's a hard and long battle with yourself, that most of us, refuse to fight.
Most of the people that I know claim that they are taking that war, but almost all of them stop when they see inside something that they couldn't even imagine about them. They freak out and go back to their truth about themselves. In each and single one of us there is an equality between good and bad. We think about us, that we are just good, because that's what we want to believe, and others around us. When we see the other part, if we see it, most of the time we run away from it.
If we can not admit it, how can we fight with it?
“The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off.”
This is where the hard part comes from around the corner... If we see that bad part in us, we will start to feel guilty, and instead of forgiving our human nature and trying to control it, we throw guilt on the closest person that we have. - It's their fault, they should feel guilty.
What do we do most of the time? We run away from it. We don't want it. We don't want to learn from it, we don't wanna distort our truth about ourselves. We are too cowards to fight with our own minds. We think it will fade away, it won't. It will only hide for some time in our unconsciousness.
“Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.”
As I said in an earlier post, you can not make it right, not until you forgive yourself.
In order to forgive yourself you have to accept your HUMAN NATURE.
Forgiving leads to trust. Trust leads to love.
No matter if it is forgiving yourself or someone else, the results are the same.
“When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it-always.”
