Cozy-Mystery.Com Who You Really Are Okay, this post is the last thrust in our trip down the proverbial rabbit-hole, which so far has looked at what the ego is, and how the late Douglas Harding can help us answer that big, big question — who are you, really? This is part one of a two-part post. I had no idea what I was getting into. Back in October, I arrived at an island retreat called Hollyhock, to take what I thought was a five-day course on Buddhism. After the initial welcome at the main hall, our teacher led my group up the path to our meditation hut in the forest. “Please be aware,” he said, as we all stared silently, “that you are seeing.” He repeated himself. His comment echoed again in my head a moment later, and I realized what he meant. In that instant, the stars became more real, more imposing, though I can’t say their appearance changed. Sitting lessons A day later I would. Sitting for hours is tough work. And thoughts! There’s so much going on it’s hard to stay aware of it. Then you snap out of it.
At Last—a Rejection Detector! Self-esteem, it turns out, is a lot like love. We often go looking for it in all the wrong places. We attempt to bolster our sense of self from within. We may even resort to repeating simplisitc self-affirmations. But in fact, self-esteem is more a reflection of our relationship to others. In a bold new theory that turns conventional wisdom inside out, psychologist Mark R. After all, when asked about happiness, people usually focus on the quality of their relationships to others. Think of self-esteem as the fuel gauge on a car. Call it a "sociometer." Like, check your own behavior for things that could be turning people off. Happiness: From the Praise of Others The sociometer is built into us not just because we are happiest when basking in the acceptance and praise of others—but because without them we wouldn't have survived in the first place. "Our ideology of individualism forces us to buck this internal monitor," he points out. Outsize Attempts at Repair
Do not stand at my grave and weep Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep is a poem written in 1932 by Mary Elizabeth Frye. Although the origin of the poem was disputed until later in her life, Mary Frye's authorship was confirmed in 1998 after research by Abigail Van Buren, a newspaper columnist.[1] Full text[edit] Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on the snow, I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning’s hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there; I did not die. Origins[edit] Mary Frye, who was living in Baltimore at the time, wrote the poem in 1932. Mary Frye circulated the poem privately, never publishing or copyrighting it. The poem was introduced to many in Britain when it was read by the father of a soldier killed by a bomb in Northern Ireland. BBC poll[edit] ... Rocky J.
Einstein-The World As I See It "How strange is the lot of us mortals! Each of us is here for a brief sojourn; for what purpose he knows not, though he sometimes thinks he senses it. But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people -- first of all for those upon whose smiles and well-being our own happiness is wholly dependent, and then for the many, unknown to us, to whose destinies we are bound by the ties of sympathy. A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving... "I have never looked upon ease and happiness as ends in themselves -- this critical basis I call the ideal of a pigsty. The ideals that have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth. "My political ideal is democracy.
