Stand Your Ground

Well said friend. I feel the exact same way. I am on my toes but calm...senses are high...ready to adapt to the winds of change when the time is right. Let love, truth and integrity be our guide.

let us not forget the 4 virtues...

wisdom, bravery, fortitude, and generosity

Actually you make a simple idea like stand your ground extremely complicated.

Good speech.

Thank you SS. Just what I needed today as well. I am in the midst of altering my life drastically to be the positive change I want to see in the world. At times it is most difficult. Almost no one understands. But, I find myself sure footed because I am centered in my decisions and that they do not originate from fear. Posts such as this are inspirational and much appreciated.

Jung elucidates, “What future developments are being prepared in the unconscious of modern man…It depends on us whether we help coming events to birth by understanding them, and reinforce their healing effect, or whether we repress them with our prejudices, narrow-mindedness and ignorance, thus turning their effect into its opposite, into poison and destruction.” We are potential spiritual midwives, who by ‘understanding’ the psychic nature of ‘future developments,’ ‘reinforce their healing effect’ and birth ‘coming events’ into incarnation through the womb of the psyche. The psyche, which is pregnant with open-ended possibilities, is the very cipher in which the history of humanity is being written. Jung writes, “The world today hangs by a thin thread, and that thread is the psyche of man.”

Whatever comes your way, any of you, just be your self. If you question, then figure out what your self is, and what you are capable of. Remember, you have not pushed yourself far enough if you have not fucked up numerous times.

Do not lock yourself into agenda. Make your ideologies mold-able until you figure out your self. Do not hold yourself to your own words. It is ok to change your words when you have changes come along that change you.

Experience and divine wisdom from the experiences. Listen and gain knowledge from listening. Act and experience the wisdom gained from listening to knowledge received.

Only that way, will knowledge received be wisdom gained and change amongst your lips be interchangeable to ideologies once believed.

All exterior influences interact with your own sphere of influence. Make sure it is your own sphere of influence, and not a persuasion of someone elses.

Figure it out. Take your time. Adjust. Integrate. Create your own self. Be wary. Be loved.

...but stand your ground.

Well said Chad...

Shambhala International is a toxic cult, listed as such on Wikipedia. Naropa University was infiltrated by outsiders. The Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics is exactly that. Kerouac was a TI and a meat puppet who was manipulated with drugs, same with the other Beats. Ginsberg was a homosexual, bringing in the concept of "men loving boys" , a trend that runs strong in Boulder, CO. Look at the connections between high level Buddhists in Boulder and their involvement with alternative schools for so called children at risk in Boulder. It's not that hard to see through. Why does a school play poster for one of those schools show a boy WITH NO FACE?

High crimes in the Boulder Buddhist community!!

It gets hard to stand my ground when the reactions of others do not support the truth I know from within. I struggle with desire to have community support, vs, not needing external validation.

How many times do I have to cycle around the same drama until I stand my ground and not care what others say in reaction, or better yet, find a community who support my stance. There is an imbalance there for me.

Thank you Septenary for starting this post. These were words that I needed at exactly the right time. Thanks to many of the other posters as well. It helps to know that I am not alone with these same thoughts, even though in my own little world it feels that I am the only one who thinks and (tries) to act in this manner.
