Not all ways, there was the time before that when women have their rightful places.
But for thousands of years in most countries, women became victim of patriotic mind dominated state of consciousness.
So, that becomes particularly pronounced when the menstrual cycle starts, that very thing that is your femininity in you on the biological level.
It is very painful, it awakens the female pain body just as it happens.
And in the old traditional teachings in Buddhism, they said “No. Women can never make it.
They can’t become enlightened because every time they go through the cycle, they lose consciousness.”
So they said, “OK, we have to exclude women.” And they did.
So it becomes more and more lifeless by doing that, and it becomes more and more mind-dominated.
The very fact is that the opposite is true.
If women can use that, knowing that that is the time particularly when the pain body arises, and become present at that time, it will be through that that women become very quickly now free of their pain body by bringing presence into especially when the pain body arises at the approaching menstrual cycle, bring presence into that and become very alert, watch the pain arising.
Watch it, allow it to be, be compassionate towards it which is what the allowing is.
Be compassionate one who allows the pain to be, and who is able to hold it, to hold the turbulence.
The state of presence is always the gentle embracing of what is.
It’s bringing a gentleness to it, which is a very powerful gentleness.
Bringing a gentleness to it and embracing what is, and holding it in that embrace.
And you stay present as you hold your pain, deep pain, and watch the turbulence of it, hold it.
The more you hold it, the stronger, very very quickly, your sense of presence grows much much stronger as you hold the pain.
And the pain will slowly lessen.
But it no longer matters because your acceptance of the pain is so total, you are not making that moment into means to an end, because I want to get to end of my pain.
Your acceptance to the pain is complete, and that is where your spiritual power lies in fully accepting it.
But, off course, now, it has not become you. It hasn’t become “unhappy me”.
You are fully there, you are fully present with it, you fully accept that there is the pain body vibrating in you.
And you may have to hold that pain for quite a while when the cycle comes, it can go on for a few days, and hold, bring presence to it.
You may occasionally lose it, and remember again, and be present with it again.
By losing it, I mean, I may succeed in moving into your mind and control your thinking again.
And then, suddenly you remember, and you hold it, holding it.
So that pain becomes incredible teacher, and every time it happens, you bring the presence to it.
That’s why women are going, it’s already there is always more women coming to consciousness groups than men.
Women will move forward more quickly now than men.
I’ve seen that, I am seeing it all the time.
And part of the reason is that they will be able to work with their pain bodies, which up to now has looked, has been in a great obstacle, now becomes the great help as you bring the presence to it.
Men still have, unless in touch with their bodies, women off course are also in their mind, but men even more deeply entrenched in their mind structures.So there is the difference. Off course, they also have their pain bodies, but the predominant thing for men is identification with their head, the predominant thing for women is identification with their pain bodies.So that is just a focal point.
Wonderful practice.This practice is so easy and so wonderful and so powerful.
It is amazing that takes humans so long to get to this point.
But transformation can be very quick now, very quick.
So make your pain body into your alley. Your pain body is not your enemy.
When you make it into your enemy, that's the old mind thing starting over, and even make the pain body into a problem.
“How can I get rid of it?”Forget about getting rid of it. Just watch it. That does it. Just watch. Hold.
And then, at first, the pain seems so overwhelming.
And the more you bring the presence into it, you realize how powerful your presence actually is.
And the pain ultimately is a just ripple on the surface of the vastness of who you are.
All human pain is ultimately the surface ripples or little waves pretending to be very big waves.
And when you realize the vastness of your being, then very quickly, it is only ultimately just a little bit of pain, but it grew itself up to a gigantic proportions.
That’s the practice of liberation.

生きるとは、この世に与えられた生を全うするとは、そういうことであるような気がする。

You also align your will with the universal will, which you could call the will of God.
So you don’t have a separate will.
The separate will wants to enhance or strengthen one’s sense of self.
One protected, make it more secure, bigger, more special.
Separate will concerns with me, the “I”, the ego.
But there is a divine, consciousness, the one consciousness, that has the evolutionary impulse.
And so, what we are doing here every moment is to align ourselves with that.
Non-resistance is vital because as long as you are in resistance in the present moment, you will be trapped in the little egoic will.
And so the egoic will needs to subside, that is surrendered to the present moment, surrender to what is, means that the egoic will that is little me that is wanting something else, when you are align yourself with what is internally, you don’t resist it, looks at first like a possession almost like a weakness, and can be misinterpreted at often is people meaning it prevents you from taking effective action.
But the acceptance of what is totally compatible with responding to whatever the present moment requires.
Whatever wants to be created, manifested, done at this moment to be align with that, you need to first accept whatever form this moment takes.
And so, all you accept is not some kind of “this is how the situation is”, you single out this moment only.
This is why I occasionally give examples to make it illustrations to make it clear.
For example, when you are ill, you don’t go around and say, “OK, I need to accept this illness. I need to accept the fact that I am ill. You may have the name for the illness, I have to accept that I am suffering from this.”
No. Because that’s the whole conceptual thing. That’s the story.
You don’t need to accept any story.
All you accept is this moment as it is.
And there is never actually an illness in this moment as it is.
There is only the condition: a physical condition.
There may be pain.There may be weakness, disability, discomfort.
Those things may be there. (What do I feel inside? Insecurity, fear, anxiety)
That’s the only things you accept. That is to single out this moment as it is now.
Or some external situation.
For example, if you are stuck in the mud in somewhere, and you don’t say: “Okay, I am in the mud. I have to accept it, here I am. I am not taking the action because you have to accept what is.”
No! This moment is already always as it is.
There is nothing you can do about that.
And that’s what you accept.
Then the action that arises has a different energy to it.
The will that flows into what you do then is no longer egoic.
When you have not accepted this moment, the will goes against the universe almost which is ego always does.
It is negative. It fights something that should not be there. That’s negativity.
So if you use the negativity then you are trapped in ego.
So to have the access to the more powerful will, the little will of me that fights what is, condemns what is, complains about what is, denies what is, and so on, all the any voices avoiding the present moment, the little will has to subside for the more powerful will.
It is not you. Not as the limited form of you to flow through you and deal with the situation.
And the powerful will is very different from the willful will.
It is not isolated from the totality. It does not isolate itself from the totality.
It is one with the totality.
So when that operates, another word for the universe is the intelligence.
It is only that when you look at the situation, you completely accept the is-ness at this moment, and then, off course, the action may be required.
And once there is opening is there through acceptance, the next step you take to get out of the mud, or whatever it is, will be much more powerful.
There is no struggle anymore, there is just powerful right action.
There is a Buddhist term, right of the many things, right action.
Off course, the right action can only arise out of the right state of consciousness.
If there is not the right state of consciousness, you can not cultivate the right action.
So you have to get out of the ego first before you can have the right action.
So I believe probably Buddha was talking about that which flows from the awakened state of consciousness is right action.
And so, the greatest strength is to surrender the little will and the simple tiny act of surrender for the little will is to say yes to the present moment.
It is not a big thing.
I have to let go of my will…
No! Just say yes to what is because it is already is anyway!
Why complaining about something that already is?
It’s insane but normal. Nothing personal. Normal means insane in this world.
So, just to give up the egoic will.
Really, all you have to do is not complain about what is.
Be aligned with isness, people, situation, whatever.
It is already as it is.
It is the inevitability of is.
Become friendly with is, then, you become intelligent for the first time.
Even you are the greatest intellectual before, it is not true intelligence.
It is very limited intelligence.
You might have 2 Phds or 3, and can still be totally dysfunctional in your life. Could be.
Now, you contact, suddenly, you are in touch with the simple act of surrender to the inevitability of the present moment, another energy comes.
You could call that universal will, you could call that intelligence, you could call that the creative solution to whatever the so called the problem is in this moment, the situation is, you could call that power coming in that is greater than the limited power of your mind, although you may use your mind, and suddenly you say the right thing, if that’s what the situation requires.
Suddenly the words come, where do the words come from?
You don’t know what you are going to say next.
They come from the deeper level because that intelligence uses the mind then, it flows into that.
You and the universal…whatever the greater totality become one, and such it creates through you as this form.
That’s the beauty of it.
The unmanifested when it flows into this world, it assues form.
It may create suddenly most thoughts that people have in the unawakened state is almost all thoughts are repetitive, old thoughts, conditioned thinking, conditioned by the past.
So all you can rely on then is what you have accumulated in the past.
And you deal with thing with the conditioned thinking.
Now the simple act of surrender opens up your mind and it can be used as the instrument, and the thought may come in that is original and fresh and new because that is the birth of form.
The birth of form may first all be the birth of the thoughts, and the thought creates the form out there.
So the universe then if it uses you as a vehicle or channel through which it creates.
And again we are using the language which sounds as if there is you and the one consciousness are separates, but it is just words. You are one.
It uses your mind and become thoughts, thoughts become words, thoughts become physical things.
So that’s the way which the mind can be the helpful tool alignment with the greater intelligence, the one, the consciousness.
But it all starts with the present moment and what your relationship is with your present moment, so to speak.
Friend or enemy?
Are you allowing it?
Or are you fighting it, resisting it.
That is also the end of the ego.
Ego is always the resistance.
It survives through complaining, survives through denying, wanting something else.
So work with the present moment is the teacher, work with that.
That is all you need, really.
So that’s really the end of the little will, that isn’t all that powerful anyway.
And whatever creates creates more problems.
Seems so simple. It is so simple.
Because of the many thousands of years of habit patterns, often people tell me “so difficult to be in the present moment and allow it to be.”
Off course, the opposite is true.
Life becomes difficult if you don’t.
But that is how it appears. It is difficult.
The present moment acceptance, the form.
What you accept is the form of this moment.
No more.
Then see what’s needed.
You look.
You are not intelligent until it happens.
Not truly intelligent.
The moment you accept, there is a space.
And you look.
Not necessarily through eyes, but just directing attention.
And that is intelligence.
And that is still.
You are not thinking while you look.
Your attention is there.
That’s intelligence.
And then action may happen if it is necessary, if the totality requires it.
And sometimes holding that space of simple presence in a difficult situation where perhaps at this moment there is nothing you can do, sometimes that’s the case.
Holding the space of simple presence often activates other factors.
And then come in seemingly from the outside to change the situation.
You have activated the intelligence of the totality.
So it is not necessarily coming through this form.
This is why sometimes people speak of synchronic things happening, suddenly a helpful factors comes in, suddenly the right person appears, the right thing happens.
“Oh, how was it? How did that happened?”
Sometimes almost miraculous.
When you don’t know that, this is actually natural, seems like a miracle at first because most humans are not used to that.
When you hold the presence, very often, the change may not happen through your action.
There are many situations as I just said, where action at this moment is not possible.
Perhaps you just have to accept at this moment “Well, right now, this is how it is. There is nothing I can do.”
However, I can continue to be present to what is and alert and still, and accepting of the inevitability of this moment.
Then, the greater intelligence is activated.
And then see what happens.
Very often you will find change is happening in the situation through some factors that you could not have planned or foreseen.]]>土鍋ごはんhttp://bebalanced.exblog.jp/19575272/2013-05-25T16:09:00+09:002013-05-25T16:12:02+09:002013-05-25T16:10:10+09:00bebalancedSomething New...
