Το ένστικτο
επιβίωσης είναι ένας πολύ χρήσιμος μηχανισμός για να μας κράτα ζωντανούς. Αν όμως
επικρατήσει στη ζωή μας και μας καθοδηγεί αντί να το καθοδηγούμε, αποτυχαίνουμε
να βιώσουμε την ανθρώπινη υπόσταση μας και παραμένουμε σε ζωώδη επίπεδα.
Humanity started beautiful things that turn out nightmares because the survival
instinct.
Teachers, doctors, politicians became just jobs instead of actions of service
(λειτούργημα) because
survival instinct took place, instead of consciousness.
Τα παρακάτω που
ταυτίζονται με το ένστικτο επιβίωσης:
- «ΕΓΩ»
-Ζωώδης φύση
-“Ζωώδη χούγια
του” Κ. Keyes
-Kleshas (στρώματα/ πεποιθήσεις) του Patanjali
- spinal cord thinking (άμεση αντίδραση και όχι ανταπόκριση)
Μαζέψαμε με
την ομάδα του SBS τους τρόπους με τους οποίους εκφράζεται (και μερικές φορές μεταμορφώνεται)
το ένστικτο της επιβίωσης. Ορίστε τι μαζέψαμε. (η λίστα αυτή θα ανανεώνεται
συνεχώς)
1. Προσκόλληση
σε άτομα/καταστάσεις
2. Αντίδραση
σε κάθε είδους αλλαγή
3. Η ανάγκη να
είμαστε αρεστοί με κάθε τρόπο ή η ανάγκη για δύναμη/κυριαρχία
4. «μου δίνει σταθερό μισθό η δουλειά μου, γιατί να φύγω? Έστω και αν
είμαστε δυστυχισμένοι. Το Εγώ δεν ενδιαφέρεται για το αν είμαστε ευτυχισμένοι ή
όχι. Ενδιαφέρεται μόνο να επιβιώσει με κάθε τρόπο. Ακόμα και αν μέσα μας πεθάνουμε.»
5. Θυμός. «When I lose something I am attached to (material, physical,
emotional) I get angry. When somebody invade at my territory without my
permission, I get angry.Anger has always been for me a survival mechanism, and
the ability to get angry was natural. Anger is the emotion that provided me
additional strength needed when fight to “survive”.¨»
6. Φόβος απόρριψης/ Προσβολή
7. Ανάγκη να έχουμε πάντα τον έλεγχο / ο φόβος της πλήρης
έκθεσης «έχω
συνειδητοποιήσει ότι μέχρι σήμερα δε θέλω να δείχνω αδύναμη και κρατάω κομμάτια
του εαυτού μου για μένα ... και συνειδητοποιώ ότι πάντα φεύγω και αφήνω
ανθρώπους που βλέπω ότι ενδέχεται να με "προδώσουν"... για να μη χάσω
τον έλεγχο»
«Το ένστικτο θέλει να θέσει τα όρια του και να προστατέψει τον εαυτούλη
του.»
8. The need to COLLECT
9. Να μπορώ να ΠΑΙΡΝΩ
10 Θάνατος αγαπημένου «αφου συνειδητα ηρεμησα τον εαυτο μου με
συγκεντρςση στο κεντρο της καρδιας κ αναπνοες, σκεφτηκα πουειναι η αγαπη ?
εκεινη τι στιγμη ενιωσα να αγαπω το
ατομο τοσο βαθια και αληθινα που δεν ειχε καμια σημασια που θα βρισκοταν κοντα
μου η μακρια. Θελω μονο το καλο του,γεματη ευχαριστιση. Και αυτο εγκαθιδρυθηκε
μεσα μου»
10. Επιθυμία για ωραία εμφάνιση
(να αντικατασταθεί με επιθυμία να τιμήσω τον εαυτό μου)
11. Ταύτιση
12. Spinal Cord

Δεύτερη ομάδα :
Every
so often when i am coming into a new realisation that will upgrade my views on
various topics my ego appears and pushes me not to accept these new
realisations. It is trying to keep me back from evolving spiritually. To keep me back to the old.
Hyperanalysing. My ego wants to learn everything. It cannot let go any information, it wants me to make clear all that exist, based on logic. At the same time having my self trying to figure something out based on intuition. The result is collision between the two and total confusion. Mental and emotional. My brain's clarity gets destroyed and my nervous system never calms down to enjoy life at the present moment.
While analysing a topic in my mind, i suddenly catch my self pretending that he is giving a speech to someone or to a crowd regarding the topic, and i am so good at it hehe. My ego's thirst for recognition and glory.
My ego makes me think a lot before doing something. It blocks me in the end and i am not doing anything.
Insulting others. Seeing them as subjects of lower intelligence and being arrogant with them. Angry as well.
Feeling angry because my parents are my parents. Not understanding how is it that i carry their genes. Not accepting that they are who they are. Even though they offered me all the goods in life while growing up.
My ego hates attention as much as it likes it.
It punches me on the walls of extreme dualities, because it knows now better than ever that i am heading towards the middle path. It desperately tries to survive.
My ego want to prove to itself that girls like it and get excited with its personality. Then my true self faces problems because he is not truly interested in these girls but i already gave them enough attention to let them ask for more.
My ego runs to catch up with time, but time is never enough.
We could all write books on how our ego pushes as to loose our contact with spirit and stay stacked in the world of condensed matter. I have got very tired observing and fighting with my ego the last years passed. However, i am gradually wining.
Δεύτερη ομάδα :
I can do the job better than others
We spiritual people..........
I know..........
Me and “I”. “You are not good enough, thin enough,
beautiful enough, clever enough, popular enough!!!!” The funny thing is that Ego has let me to
believe that I should not love myself, when at the same time, it is trying to
convince me that I should do whatever it takes to be loved by others.
Knowledge. Knowledge is a tool not power.
Am I getting old?
I am a dreamer. The mind most of the times is
running to the future.

Βάζουμε ταμπέλες
«εγώ η εργατική, εγω η τεμπέλα
, εγω η όμορφη ,εγώ η ντροπαλή
Το εγώ αποφάσισα να το αγαπώ
για να μπορεί να με σηκώνει το πρωί να κάνω τις πρακτικές μου, να με βοηθά στη
διατροφή και να μου δίνει ερεθίσματα για να συνεχίζω.
Το Εγώ κρύβεται:
1 Στα θέλω σου
2 Στα δεν θέλω σου
3 Στην λύπη γιατί δεν πήρες αυτό που θες
4 Στην χαρά γιατί το πήρες
5 Στην προβολή
Στην ανικανοποίηση
7 Όταν χάνεις το κέντρο σου
8 Οταν σου δίνουν σημασία
9 Όταν δεν σου δίνουν σημασία
1 Όταν σε κοιτούν
Όταν δεν σε κοιτούν
Οταν αρέσεις
1 Όταν δεν αρέσεις
1 Όταν θυμώνεις
Ego has
no power on its own, no consciousness of its own. It uses us to feed itself
when the Self is not active.
I now understand. But when I say “I”, I no
longer refer to Ego. “I” have Ego but “I” am not it. “I” observe it and “I” am
on path of retraining it to serve the Self. “I” just need to remind myself,
whenever I act or react, to ask this simple question: “Who am I?”
"The
Ego to unmask, Who am I, I must ask"
"Ο νους βολεύεται. Θέλει να γιομώσει μ' έργα μεγάλα τη φυλακή του, το κρανίο. Να χαράξει στους τοίχους ρητά ηρωικά, να ζωγραφίσει στις αλυσίδες του φτερούγες ελευτερίας.
ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφήΗ καρδιά δε βολεύεται. Χέρια χτυπούν απόξω από τη φυλακή της, φωνές ερωτικές αφουκράζεται στον αγέρα κι η καρδιά, γιομάτη ελπίδα, αποκρίνεται τινάζοντας τις αλυσίδες. και σε μιαν αστραπή της φαίνεται πως έγιναν οι αλυσίδες φτερούγες".

ΔιαγραφήA beautiful realization From E.R. : "Observing my survival instincts is very interesting. They are a part of my life in several different ways, and through the years have become huge, wide walls, which close in on me, not letting me breathe, not leaving any space for love, creativity, and life. The more I want to be good and be loved by people, and want to do something good for them, the bigger and wider these walls grow around me. And now, seeing them, I understand that I am no longer present in my life. Trying to be good for other people, I have lost myself, and now have no knowledge or understanding of who or what I am, and why I exist and for what purpose. Seeing these walls dividing me from my life, I can either go around them, or slowly-slowly knock them down. Because undoubtedly without them, my life will be much better."
