There is another option. You could surrender to your "not liking - ness." You might think "but what does that mean, to surrender to not liking something?" It means to accept each thought as it arises, because that is what IS. Watch it come and go over and over, don't judge it! Don't judge how you don't like the world, yourself, whatever. Just don't judge anything. There is something wise and beautiful about just what you are.Blue Chicagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05143572937024964586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29720160.post-61939003685728257502011-11-07T17:21:39.737-07:002011-11-07T17:21:39.737-07:00I have just read Jung's 7 Sermons To The Dead ...I have just read Jung's 7 Sermons To The Dead (for the first time in my life).

As I continue this path of mixed emotions over the loss of my daughter I am led from time to time to people like yourself who in turn have something to say that makes the chaos not chaotic as much. Thank you for making sense. Peace, Love and RESPECT- it's the ultimate currency.

I just try to learn on my own and "see with my own eyes."<BR/><BR/>Basically, though, your post made me realize that the way I have been dealing with emotions for a little while now (thinking "its not substantial; there's nothing to fear and nothing to desire in this emotion") is inadequate precisely because I believe that all emotions can be dealt with in this way <I>at any level</I>. Like you said, I might be able to deal with the emotion on the surface, but that's not going to loosen my deeper unconscious emotional attachments.<BR/><BR/>And still, I think what you've said here is closer to Buddhism than you give it credit for. Specifically, you've helped me to learn more about the "three poisons": desire, fear, and ignorance. For a little while, I've been handling the desire and fear associated with my emotions, but I was not, in any way, trying to get rid of ignorance about my emotions.<BR/><BR/>So, thank you!Dan Stantonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07221487127033546358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29720160.post-63467720298417380292008-04-23T21:50:00.000-06:002008-04-23T21:50:00.000-06:00After reading your post a couple times, I'm still ...After reading your post a couple times, I'm still not sure what *you* mean by freedom. Would it necessarily mean that your self was intact? <BR/><BR/>I need my self. It comes in handy at work, for example, so I know when to speak up on a conference call. It's also a storehouse for all those difficult triggers and emotions you talk about. So I look at it in another light and find it insubstantial, really just threads of thoughts bundled together in a way that seems continuous, and it becomes easier to leave the bourbon alone and do something with my time. <BR/><BR/>So I meant to ask you what freedom is and wound up talking about myself.
