Processing "success"
Dear Friends,
how i love you 
Today's topic is external "success".
So the deal is simple: positive emotional responses to external events are by no means different to negative responses in that they highlight areas of attachment.
Easy, right...
Still i feel that there is difference in working with the two types.
I find going into the "negative" (immediately unpleasant type) increasingly more easy.
Letting myself slip into the inner space of pain, fear and not losing myself in it.
Building up the trust that i am experiencing, not being the feeling.
How to delve into the seemingly pleasant ones as to explore them i'm just starting to feel more.
I find it helpful to stop myself when i feel an emotional response like that arising and become aware
of the detachment it's causing to what's real, to the determination that it brings with it that
the circumstances staid that way thus maintaining the "pleasant" state.
Would someone
care to share their experiences?
Heartfelt thanks,
Alexej



to give an example
say: i'm working hand in hand with my anger (big one here)
taking it back in, i'm opening the space outside thus leaving my kids free to express e.g.
So voilá, the exterieur mirrors my energetic change and changes accordingly - at least with young kids that happens pretty instantly, they don't tend to hold on unnecessarily and let go off their part in the play, moving again to spontaneous action.
I could imagine that this might be the point where the aforementioned "spiritual identities" or shadow aspects manifest...
I'm not feeling that happening. Just wondering how to rather increase momentum in such circumstances. Again turning the draw into the "sucessful" situation back inside to shine a light yet again.
Thank you,
A
the only thing i can say
i realy miss our long walkings to talk about questions like these or just feel the answers. i need it more personally and being in the direct contact to think, to feel and to give my ideas to others. but often it´s not easy to realys that. this is what i´m thinking now, but hope this will change some day and i´ll be open for every way of communication, to stay to what i´m thinking and to push it to the way of my truth.
in very deep and endlessness love!

Re: Processing "success"
Not completely sure if I understand what you are getting at here Alexej so this may have nothing to do with what you are asking...
Attachments are attachments whether they are 'positive' or 'negative'. If we can see each situation as being there to reveal a hidden/veiled or 'shadow' aspects of ourselves to ourselves, then everything is helpful to bring us back to wholeness.
What do you mean by "external success"?
working on positive feeling
If you're feeling positive emotions such as happiness because of a successful outcome resulted from the actions you took, then why not let yourself fully feel that joy or whatever positive feeling it might be? If you then get attached to the positive feeling which results in tightness and fear in you, then work on that.
a key
Thank you, Lei.
That was coming from divine intuition showing me my withholding of joy.
Let it just happen and experience anything that it leads to.
Thanks, master
