“DON’T BECOME A VICTIM.”

When we turn our attention to our surroundings and complain about “who is right” or “who is terrible” or “how bad someone is,” we are immersing ourselves in a victim mentality.

This “I” is a recognition as a tiny existence who is played by something far greater than ourselves that controls the human race.

But is this true?

When we complain, lament our inability, or criticize someone, we are abdicating our most significant responsibility. That responsibility is “How do I live my life?” which is responsibility that only each of us has.

When we abandon this responsibility, we are in fact in spite of that we can change our own reality by changing our own perception of things, moreover, that we are choosing such a reality by our own, while we face it and lamenting that we are helpless and like waiting for someone else to change that reality for us.

Furthermore, the happiness we have in mind at that time represents only a temporary satisfaction that we set conditions and thereby it’s easily influenced by our surroundings.

However, not only are conditions not necessary for the happiness at all, but essence is happiness, and beingness itself is pure joy.

So who is it that is seeking this conditional happiness?

Unless each of us truly probes these questions into deep within, while we continue to lose sight of essence, of unshakable sense of the Self as Oneness, God, and thereby we will always remain victims as whom are easily taken happiness away by the conditions we set.

Of course, we all may be shaken by intense and strong emotions that we will not be able to accept before we reach full spiritual awakening. But that doesn’t mean that our immersion in the perception of victimhood would make those strong emotions easier to handle.

Nevertheless, rather than we take responsibility for an emotion, which is only a creation of the mind (ego), and the more it is too strong to handle, the more the mind (ego) tends to use the perception of victim as a basis and seeks the illusion of being even-handed by denouncing and condemning the person it considers as having brought that emotion to us by desire for vengeance, doesn’t it?

Moreover, in a society where the mind (ego) is misidentified to be the self, by the widely shared perception of legal vengeance as justice is in fact, not only a missed opportunity to face ourselves, but consequently makes a distraction from our most basic responsibility as well, but are we aware of this fact?

࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓

How serious do we really want to continue this drama of poor “me” being played with by our own self-created illusions?

If we do, then for how long?

Furthermore, who is making the choice?

And for whom is it making the choice?

If it is “me” who is making the choice, then how in the universe can we ask someone else to change it?

࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓

Continue to deepen self-inquiry.

The universal wisdom we discover at that time will lead us to a state of choice under clear awareness, and also make us aware what we were previously unconscious of.

Then there will be no room for complains. This means that possibility to become “unhappy” as victims comes to disappear by making our own conscious choice.

Thus, as the ego is effortlessly surrendered with a natural humility, sincere devotion fully surrendered to the unknown will inevitably lead us to oneness with the ultimate Self, the One Consciousness in which there is no separation. (OM 🙏)
