Reflect.
Ponder.
Think deeper.
Feel deeper… past emotions, indoctrinations, judgments, biases, and fears.
Move beyond your comfort zone.
Look beyond the horizon.
Reach beyond the limited.
Awaken to your true nature… your Divine Nature… bringing that forth to the world…
… expressing your Self fully… honestly… spontaneously… naturally…
It merits saying again: Good advice is everywhere… but only the wise know it when they hear it.
Fortune favors the bold, but not the foolhardy.
Aspire to wisdom.

Do not ask me what you should think.
That is not my job…
You must learn to look beyond the conditioned, defended, encumbered being that you may think yourself to be…
Spiritual teachings, shastras, Vedic texts, the Guru… they point in the direction…over the horizon… assisting you to find your own way.
The Self is revealed to the self, by the self, and through the self…
Yet, it is attained by tuning your self to the master…
Does that seem like a contradiction?
I do not tell you what to think.
I only teach how to think…
for your Self…
as your Self…
as your True Self…
as your Divine Self…
Free your Self…
Look beyond the horizon…
To the place where you are one with the Divine…

Many factors are involved in most everything… every perspective, every decision, every philosophy, etc. Disagreements arise. Not so much because of the difference in opinion, but rather on how adamant one is regarding his perspective. Usually, if one is willing to reflect, he can see at least some truth in both perspectives.
Conflicts amplify further when one overstates his viewpoint to be sure he has made it. A tug of war results. It may be feared that acknowledging the truth in the other perspective may result in losing the argument. The other perspective is then underrated. Nothing is black and white, but people try to make it all black and white. As it is said, yin creates yang… right creates left… the wheel of life goes round and round.
I recently told someone something I felt would help him… encouraging him to be bolder and move forward with his life. I knew it would stretch his comfort zone. It will be easy for him to take a stand and overstate my words in his mind – to make me wrong – to justify his current worldview. We will see what he does with my words.
Balance is the key.

Always remember that what underlies anger is hurt. To only allow yourself to feel the anger is to be in denial of the real issue, namely, the hurt. Your reaction to feeling hurt is to get angry.
Allow yourself to feel the hurt. Denial (Don’t Even Know I Am Lying) is unhealthy for your psyche, physiology, and relationships.
