"Your Words Are Insignificant to me: Defeating the Voice of Sabotaging Self- Intoxication

MODE of Cosmic therapy: Coming Face To Face With Our Demons of Self-Aggrandizement

That which seemingly defeats us also redeems and exalts us. Those troublesome events that dismay, puzzle, confuse and agitate are the specific ones needed to use as a pivotal point of reference in order to dig into our latent selves where enormous strength, determination, motivation and forbearance reside. So many voices of distraction, doubt, worry and disdain fill our heads on a daily basis but o what end?

We are not to let our eyes betray us n the sense that what we see is not all that is necessarily taking place in the exact way we perceive it. Our minds are distorted, in as much, as the memories we have accumulated, along with the ideas we have fixed, mingled with emotional and physical experiences tempering the mind-set cause us to view things quite slantedly. Even the type of diet we have ingested n a particular date could have a delirious affect.

The resistance would be in trying to decipher the occasion without a colored view based on the mind's improper pre-conditioned feeding of the fueled data of the situation in question. The pertinent question need be: what particular voice are we listening to at the precise moment when adversity strikes? Would it be the voice of reason, recourse, revenge, residue, recompense, or reverberation?

Of the many voices of distraction, conflict and contention within, how does one know what to listen to and what to ignore/delete? Where does our immediate attention flow? It all depends upon the level of our engaging energy at the time. Yes. Energy is determinedly prodigiously apt to take the easy most convenient' avenue to alter the vexing problem. (Not necessarily the perfect course of action.) However, IF one is elevated enough, the only course of action is the one in which something occurs without further consideration or explanation. [that's another article altogether].

For the moment, we are talking about our sense of urgency in acknowledging, confronting and diffusing various problematic circumstances. Next question: do we find ourselves mulling over the same old thoughts again and again and again? Whether they be distressing thoughts of (people, places, things, unresolved difficulties in relationships) locked away in the past, worry from those unsettled involvements projected in the future, and/or nit picking' griping concerns coloring the present, are we proposing, projecting and presiding in a state of inherent emotional/mental disability?

If lingered in long enough, this non-productive self-sabotaging mental process will sap our vitality and destroy our over-all well being. A more definitive term for what we are doing to ourselves would be: debilitating self-intoxication. This present self-absorbed melancholic state of mind is literally undermining all of our activities. It is coloring our communication with others and inhibiting us from being a fun, spontaneous and creative person. This preferred condition, in fact, IS our natural and spontaneous self when allowed to express uninhibitedly.

We are giving full reign to a pessimistic never-ending inner chaotic dialogue that reduces our ability to concentrate, finish tasks, function optimally, and remain cheerful, enthusiastic, sexually interested and productively helpful. Our level of attractiveness is diminished and sacred sensual artistic sexuality takes a back seat. Boring and uninteresting, we turn into an old fogy way before our time. Not that there's anything wrong in growing old; it should be the most celebrated and glorious part of a person's life!

But, when we don't feel good' about the things we do during the day, like finishing tasks, dwelling in the non-productive past, excessive gossiping or procrastinating, we immediately impress upon the mind extraneous guilt with the oppressive need to defend ourselves. We end up accusing and attacking others before they have a chance to comment on what we perceive as a poor performance or further yet, we misinterpret whatever comment is made. That obsessive mind set projects paranoia, a victim mentality along with the tried and true "feel sorry for me song." And, tell me, "Who wants to dance to that worn out tune?"

Let's face it: none of us like to be seen in a bad' light. And, we will go to great lengths and heights to prevent the embarrassing and humiliating scenario from occurring if, at all possible. The irony of the situation, however, lies not in our so-called poor performance' but rather in how we THINK we ought to perform based on the self-projected ideas of others. Not only do we believe we SHOULD act a certain way but we have conditioned ourselves into perceiving we ought to FEEL a certain way, as well. Not true. False. Wrong.

We have grown so accustomed to acting and reacting based on a pre-supposed design of what others "will think of me" IF I don't or do, our authentic voice has been buried beneath mountains of over-processed emotional rubble. Have we become so self-intoxicated by a deluded, distorted, disgruntled self-image that we are incapable of recognizing, appreciating and applying genuine worthiness? Have we become far too concerned with what we believe others think or don't think about us?

We are so accustomed to feeding and fueling our inner negative dialogue, we CAN'T really hear what is being said. We jump to conclusions, accuse others of vicious innuendos, assume someone is talking about us, while at the same time, walking on egg shells so as not to offend. A DEPRESSIVE NIGHTMARE: we end up living in a self-created delusional hell of our own making, saying one thing doing another.

Shutting down the incessant self-defeating inner negative dialogue is what "MODE of Cosmic Therapy Esoteric Psychology Sacred Work" is all about. How do we engage our energy in that? There exists a still small voice' that lingers beneath the accusing drone of self-doubt, self-denial and self-loathing. It abides as clear, constant, calm, gentle and serene, never belittling or condemning. But, in our desperate futile attempts to drown the boisterous mocking penetrating shrill in the light of the fear of self punishment, ridicule, disdain, and/or self-decline, brought on by the nefarious imposter's inner dialogue, we overstate our value, emphasizing the need to acknowledged and appreciated.

Little do we realize that by driving the point home' of how special we believe ourselves to be, we have but fallen into the trap of moody self-intoxication. Instead of pushing for more recognition, validation, approval, response, attention from the outside, we need to pause and listen quietly (without habitually reacting) to that still small voice' that arises from the same hallowed place, different flavor.

We will instinctively recognize its resounding tone of truth' because of what it will say and how it will say it to you. The guiding (your very own personal unobstructed, unfiltered, unbiased) voice of truth will be in complete opposition to what you would normally do or say. It will seem like foolishness, to begin with. That's part of getting in tune with ourselves. It's impossible to KNOW what's really taking place on the inside of us, much less in our world, when we are so fixated on the life-absorbing NEED to be viewed as right, intelligent, informed, witty, and/or caring.

We are investing way too much energy in trying to please or appease another with residual emotions filtered through a windmill' of self-repercussions. The time has come to stop the train; pull the cord; get off the same old track of destination's self-willed folly. No one can do the self-investigating process but us. We must first want to see the other side of the impervious mountain of self-deceit in order for it to show its variegated colors of indifference.

We could start by weeding out and dismissing the so-called important people from our lives who wield way too much influence or control. We KNOW who they are: the ones who we need to impress. The appropriate sentence to alleviate self-intoxication would be to reply to all of those whom we are adoringly identified with but painstakingly moving beyond; "Your Words Are Insignificant to Me!" Then and only then, can we begin to think, act and govern for ourselves decisions, direction and creations without the barge of incessant conflicting voices disturbing our sanctified peace.
