Do not assume it is your fault every time you have a moment where things are not working as supposed to. The moment we fall into the trap of assuming everything is ourselves’ fault, it is the moment we are already within a period of suffering. Instead, we have to observe the situation, analyse the scene, and search for an understanding about what happens in the present moment. The more we do such an exercise with everything we perform, mainly when it involves anything outside the self, the more we would be able to find out where the source of the current issue we are facing is. The moment we realise the higher intelligence we have contact with is the biggest source of knowledge concerning the issues we are experiencing, it is the moment we understand how to use it in our favour, while enhancing the self towards the path of a meaningful life.
The idea of putting the highest trust in the self is derived from the use of our consciousness to observe, analyse, and understand everything that is happening within the self, and in the surroundings, in an inquisitive and non-judgemental way. The reason is simple: we have to trust the most what we have full control of: our mind, our consciousness, and everything related to the self. The moment we use our consciousness as a powerful tool we have at hand, it is the moment we realise why understanding suffering is a personal and unique journey, where the ultimate decision about anything affecting our own life is ours to make. We may trust our family, our friends, or even the word of a stranger, but the ultimate decision is ours, and never would be in another hand without violating the principle of freedom we have established by our own nature, and the laws of the universe our society is subjected to.
Each one of us has to use the tools we have at hand to face the challenges we have contact with in the present moment, within our own perspective and relativity. The messages you read in the NeartWord project are not laws, or how-tos about living a meaningful life. They are intended to motivate yourself to get out of the clouded environment you may experience in the present moment, asking you to use your consciousness to overcome any challenge you are facing, to be awakened to the fact you are the wonderful ruler of your own life. No one could do nothing to you without your own permission, and it is one of the fundamental laws of the universe we have contact with. The moment we feel [and manifest] any negative emotion we are giving permission for suffering to dominate the self, which is nothing more than being in a submissive position.
We have to trust the self and our instincts by observing, analysing, and understanding what we have inside, and the relationship with the environment we are inserted into. The moment we realise the power of achieving clarity of mind is at our own hands, it is the moment we understand how to diminish the negativity while facing a challenge we have no control of.
