You are not your life story
“Briefly, for me, non-attachment to feelings and/or ideas is the ability to watch, feel and experience without believing the narrative that might accompany the feelings or the experience and then being able to respond if appropriate rather than reacting.
It’s about living in the moment and surrendering to the unknown.”
Monica Cassani
How true her words ring here, as if she was talking to me: I realize awestricken that
my feelings are telling me a very treacherous story about myself.
This is such a trap:
Will I continue listening and identifying with this false tale about who I am?
Whose drama am I living which calls itself “me”?
Most of us are the convicts of our life stories. With an iron grip, these ageless narratives keep us hopelessly stuck in dreams which are not our own.
I take it again: unbeknownst, we live out ancestral nightmares, which constantly
deprive us of directly experiencing our true individuality – Who We Truly Are.
This blind heritage has enormous power – no wonder, it has been inertially perpetuated through immemorial time – and if you are urged to live your true Life Story, you urgently need to break free from these haunting, faceless memories.
Easier said than done. The combat is not a “literal” one – it must take place on very deep levels in your soul. It is there, inside these elusive layers that your earthly destiny is decided. Thus, you have to delve in and take on the “fight” on the symbolic, archetypal plane, where our Fate is “sealed”.
In plain English:
You need an incredible lucidity, courage, sensitivity and determination to let go of and disindentify from the stories which give themselves to be “you”.
These narratives control you mainly through your feelings, and you need to have the
power to step back and question the truth of your emotions.
Defy all these phantoms which steal you from You.
YOU ARE NOT YOUR EMOTIONS OR YOUR THOUGHTS.
YOU ARE NOT YOUR LIFE STORY.
Ask yourself lucidly:
“CAN I SURRENDER TO WHO I REALLY AM?”

About julienmatei
I feel an inner urge to express what I see, to communicate and share with others all these impressions. Often the things I see are there, not yet manifest, but waiting... to be observed, talked about, and embraced.
These new insights need another approach, a more vivid curiosity...
Due to fear and prejudice we prefer to see only "the official" truth - but THE OFFICIAL TRUTH IS DEAD - being dead, it has nothing to give...
We can continue pretending Death is fascinating or... we can take the trouble to LIVE...
THE NEW has no definition yet...
Again, IT requires another "perception", the courage to apprehend everything differently, from a totally new angle, with new confidence and inquisitive touch. This blog is not about interesting concepts, it is about participation... finding new solutions, inspiration, togetherness.

“CAN I SURRENDER TO WHO I REALLY AM”
I’m not sure. I’m trying to. And holding back.
I’m afraid of myself.
Look the other way:
It is not you fearing yourself. It is your fear being afraid of your
true Self, of your true potential.
Whenever you “try”, you activate your doubt – which is another
side of Fear.
So stop trying.
Allow yourself to “do” nothing. Non-action – which
is lucid understanding – annihilates fear.
Surrender requires no effort, but unforced awareness. 😉
Thanks Julien, I knew you’d have a way to help me think about this. You’re great!
