Most of what you know about yourself is wrong
It was a slow sequence of realizations…
…that ultimately led me to understand that everything that I had internalized as a result of years of socialization and institutional indoctrination (school, religion, and mass media), regarding the essence of who and what I am, was a complete lie.
To wit, below are a few implicit assumptions that I’ve come to reject:
- Other people are more important than I am. This is perhaps the most pervasive lie underpinning most religious and social normative assumptions. It is generally seen as noble to love others, but immodest to love one’s self. This perplexing dichotomy destroys us from within, sapping our confidence in our own self-worth, and denying the beauty and goodness inherent in the way we were created (regardless of the process or entity we believe created us)
- It’s OK for others to get what they want, but it’s selfish of me to want what I want. This lie springs from Lie #1, which is that our own worth is somehow less than everyone else’s worth.
- It’s easy to make a wrong decision, but tough to make right decisions. This is a crippling lie, which saps our free will and energy, and removes our confidence in our judgment. When we embrace our divine spark, and recognize and acknowledge our own self worth, we regain the knowledge that our intelligence, intentions, and discernment are all working together to produce our best life. Truthfully, other people can and will criticize ANY path we choose. So why not choose the path we want?
- I can’t do what other people do. This is a lie we tell ourselves (though it’s reinforced by Lies 1-3). It is progeny of our lack of confidence in our ability and judgment, and it is also a result of our impatience. The truth is, human beings can accomplish 90% of what we set out to do, if we give ourselves enough time to work on it. Humans are miraculous creatures, with the gift of immense intelligence and creativity. We learn incredibly quickly, mastering entire fields of knowledge in just a few years. If it’s a worthwhile pursuit for you, and you love what you’re doing, you can accomplish almost anything you set out to accomplish. If you’re enjoying yourself, the years it will take to achieve mastery and success will fly by in a joyful blur.
- Life is hard. This is only a half-life. Sometimes, things happen that are incredibly hard to take. But we allow the reverberations from these events to continue to cripple us mentally and psychologically. Learning how to live peacefully, happily, and joyfully is an acquired skill (made infinitely easier through guided imagery meditation). Mastery takes time, as with anything else. But learning how to walk the path of happiness will set you free, and you will discover that while life has its hard moments, life is mostly joy!
