INTEGRITY, AND BEING RE-BORN

Our emotional stances --

Joy, sadness, fear, calmness, anger, equanimity, hate .................

Are just low-frequency manifestations of our potential for Love.

They're not "wrong", they're just on one end of a see-saw where both players are sitting side-by-side. One of you has to venture up to the other end. Then you can have fun!

Each of us has two dominating negative emotions that we avoid  (mine are Grief and Hurt).

Avoid no longer;

Your dominant, dominating negative emotions  are the way through that you have been seeking all this while.

Come through.

When they come up next time, meet them. Breathe into them, breathe them into you. Welcome them home. Integrate them in to You; Integrate your Self into them.

You created them; bring your children back home.

While this is happening, your mind may think that you are being destroyed.

Not so.

Something is dying alright --- what's dis-appearing is the Not-You, the False-Self that you put up front after you banished the bits of yourself that you thought, mistakenly, that you could do better without. When you did that, you lost something very precious -- your Integrity.

INTEGRITY

Integrity is often confused with "honesty". They are related, but not the same. In much the same way as all elms are trees, but not all trees are elms -- honesty is part of integrity, but Integrity is much more than just honesty. Integrity is all of it (including dis-honesty). When a system, process or person has Integrity, nothing is missing. Everything possible is there, integrated and balanced. Any thing without integrity becomes un-balanced (something missing), unstable and teeters unpredictably.

We yearn for Integrity, but discard and reject the stuff we judge as "not-what-I-want-to-be". Every rejection, every resistance, throws us further out of balance and out of Integrity.

I know this is not what your mind wants to hear. And you are free to reject it. But next time you feel your life getting out of kilter, look at what you're saying "No" to, including the "no" to the feeling of being out of kilter.

For those of you who are so divinely pissed-off with lurching through life like a drunk on steroids, here is a gateway to a new life --------

Accept your stuff. Breathe into it. Integrate it back into the Not-You that you've always thought that you were. Open up the not-being part of your Be-ing to welcome everything that comes to the door of your awareness. Take notice. Ignite everything with the fire of your loving attention.

Your life will begin anew,

Blossoming forth with the Love That You Are

In to the Love of All That Is.
