This entry is the last of the five Yamas- Satya, truth. (the next two posts from John McAfee’s book ” The Secret of the Yamas” will delve a bit deeper into the guidelines of self-discipline). Here is a quote from this chapter: “…Love eradicates all personal hatreds and jealousies, and where jealousy or possessiveness exits, love cannot. Yet, we still insist to ourselves and to others that we love. But if we look deeply enough, we will find that the root of our supposed love is our individual need for security, contentment or pleasure, or that it keeps fear or discomfort at bay. We use the object of our love as a distraction against the unpleasant, or as a stimulus to pleasure. Cruel words perhaps, but please don’t simply reject them out of hand. Look into yourself, without judgement or condemnation, but with simple observation. It is our condemnation that has originally created this inability to see the truth in ourselves…”
Thanks for taking the time to listen, read and be a part of this stream of consciousness. Namaste
