I have been nice in order to avoid confrontation. I have become weary on this journey and don't have the energy to deal with most people's Egos. I live in Solitude currently.
Solitude is immensly important for your own process. What I am adressing in the video cocerns the idea of forming a monastic community. There the standards of conduct need to be higher than society life and non-avoidance is not an option. It is not your job to awaken others, when they do not have a willigness to receive. You can protect your "soul incubation bubble" from intrusion. My job is different, it is shape the future teachers. Therefore, I cannot be nice, because I need to protect the Dharma from corruption. When you are in your own process, you might actually want to reduce social interactions to experience God communion. But for those who are already "employed" by the Holy Spirit, we often need to be fierce.
I love the truth of this teaching...thank you! I guess this comes down to discernment as well. How do I know if when I criticize myself, the critical voice is that of the deluded wounded ego, or if it is the authentic self trying to make a correction? There is so much out there about healing the inner child and trauma created by unconscious caregivers. But I suppose, that which feels wounded is the ego and it's not about healing the wounded ego, but about releasing the belief the ego is wounded or traumatized? In my experience, I've moved back and forth between spiritual healing and physical healing because it seems as though the physical self...the ego is so loud and demanding, that it needs some level of healing...of soothing in order to find enough silence to hear or connect to the true self. Does that make sense? Or am I just deluding myself? 🤣😆🙏 I just found your channel, and I deeply appreciate your teachings!
The ego is the symptom of soul energy being blocked. If you understand that the ego is a reverse compass that resents the soul, then you will realize that whatever the ego despises, that is the karma yoga(spiritual action) to be done to bring more of the soul into the human vessel. The soul is to replace the ego as master over the body. Your ego may go on endless healing journeys but to know that it is indeed a placeholder will help you make great leaps of faith. The ego in the end must fade. If you give it too much importance it will drag you from one healer to another, doing one ineffective spiritual exercise after another. It will always support spiritual activity that does not threaten it. But when it gets intimidated, angry, frustrated, then real learning is taking place. The point is to seek annihiliation through meditation and surrender to God. This is where you go back and forth. The ego is asking you for mercy on the path. But it is not real and it tries to keep the soul in the basement. You cannot serve two masters and need to choose, otherwise the push and pull will continue.
I love this! It explains what I haven't been able to put into words to my family. They always have told me to be nice and keep the peace with others when I tell them people need to be what would say "told about themselves," but really I meant their egos needed to be shaken, their ways questioned. Ironic thing is, my husband who often tells me to "hold the peace because it's none of my business," is extremely avoidant in his own egoic constructs from childhood traumas and we have problems in our relationship because of the constant avoidance. I really do care we become our authentic selves, and this is why I look inward and question myself when others have something to say to me.
Dear Rebecca, as with everything, wisdom is situational. There are moments when intervening with others lives would be intrusion. And it may not be wise to get into the business of unconscious individuals who do not seek awakening at this time, they may have a violent response. But there are situations that cannot, nor should be avoided, where taking a stance is of great importance. To distinguish between these situation is a matter of experience and surrender to God. I spoke in there video more from the perspective of a teacher. If someone is not my student, why confront them? But if they are in my care and they are doing harm to themselves and others, then I cannot avoid taking action.
I like this thought "wisdom is situational." So true, nothing exists in a vacuum, and truth belongs to God. Relative truth or situational wisdom belongs to us commun mortals
Well now we get into what you’ve referred to as ‘stimulation’. If you see the truth, then what a gift. But now you see all the lies someone as a soul has limited themselves (the prison). If you speak your truth unfiltered, then they tell you off and they righteously hold onto their illusion. If they can’t have what you’re offering, why bother unless you’re able to use your love and creativity to present it in a way they can. Life is a dance made of both love and truth. Only truth and the dance becomes so exacting most will pass as ur partner. Only love and it may not pass as dancing. You always didn’t see the truth. You’ve gone through your evolution that has had both love and truth play their part. If you don’t see the softness or white lies love has played at times then perhaps the mother wound is still lingering. Blocks against the feminine aspect of consciousness compromise the holding power of one’s words. As Peter Crone said, “The ego doesn’t want to be fixed, it just wants to be held.” You’ve got the sight. If egos were frogs and the truth was the heat, you could be lovingly boiling frogs all day long. Appreciate you.
I deleted my previous answer to your comment, since I missed some of the nuances you pointed out. I became aware of this after rereading. The feminine and the masculine need to achieve balance. The masculine goes form A to B, the feminine achieves this in a wave pattern. Both methods, soft and indirect, and direct and hard, have their moments to be applied. With lay people it is fine to use softer methods. But once responsibility is taken by a practitioner, e.g. counseling other people, becoming a monk in a monastery, taking care of certain duties, their behavior now begins affecting others more directly. They are not anymore on "self finding" quest, which only involves themselves, now they are there to be of service to others. And if they are not fit to perform this job, no amount of "holding the ego" will do it. I have had experiences with those who were supposed to take on responsibility, who were expressing a lot of selfish behavior when I used soft methods. The soft methods backfired intensly, because every ego fell into self-centeredness without being supervised, since I chose to trust instead of enforcing rules. It became very apparent that a stricter approach was necessary. If someone does not want their frog to be boiled, that is fine. They do not have to learn from me. If the way of fire is not for them, they can seek the way of water. Thank you for your deep comment, I appreciate it! 'My wife just said: Some people like spicy food, some don't. Some look for it, some can't handle it. There is nothing wrong about spicy food, there is also nothing wrong about not eating spicy food.' God loves in a masculine way for those who need it, God loves in a feminine way for those who need it. The way I offer is for those who seek God, not for those who still seek the world. The attachment to the world must be sacrificed to achieve this. And wanting to be held is of the world.
@@julianpolzin Shoot, I missed your first comment. Well, my comment had some spiciness. I will hold your wisdom closely. In the spirit of the laughing God. The one playing hide and seek with itself. Nice or not nice. Wake up or not wake up. Inject or not inject. It’s all part of the show. There’s no where to stand because there is no person. So if I say nice or not nice, then God will come to me in all matter of niceness and not niceness forms until I see the pattern and get the joke. I have my memories and you have yours. But what are memories other than the fruit of the tree of knowledge? It’s not cocaine people. It’s those damn apples that keep us stuck in time. Stuck in the mind. I hear you at times with that glint in your eye and others when you’re so serious. Like, I’m with you and then I’m not. So then I think, “Are you messing with us?” Soul harvest. Twenty five thousand year cycles. Yes, but it is also all made up. You must be hanging out too much with Alan Watts and his element of irreducible rascality. We’ve been playing this game out of time for a long time lol. Re-emerging from such ‘limitations’ is so cool though. I look forward to the treasures within that you speak of as I continue my journey home.
@@christopheratteridge7289 It will all makes sense, when it makes senses. I am planting seeds. Many things I say not will not make sense to the majority of those who listen two my work. It may need decades or liftimes to incubate. The anecdotes of my experiences that I share are not yet verifiable for the majority of people. There will be a time when it will be understood. But what is important is the method. The method will lead to your own experiences and ultimately we all need to experience the same laws of life. One thing you are very correct about, I hang out way too much with certain people. But they are also hanging around me too much. In humanity it is now time for seriousness. Childhood is all playful and sweet but now it is time to grow up. The style and tone of teaching will change. Others will come. And the teachings will become more precise, be more about responsible and the ending of corruption. Before it was time to wake up, now it is time to grow up.
You're amazing thank you for sharing this is beautiful

Love this: "I can not be nice because I need to protect the Dharma from corruption " I was missing this piece of wisdom. Thank you, teacher Polzin
