At any given moment when a statement is said, there are many other things that are being said simultaneously that we are not aware of. This is what makes self awareness a powerful tool. The advantage of knowing self well is to also configure what else you’re perceiving and saying on top of what you’re saying and perceiving. For example, when a person says “I’m not feeling great today” they’re also saying “there is a feeling that I know of that is great that I feel on some days.” Saying today is cold also means other days are not so cold or any other such idea. Our words and situations have multiple meanings. The more you’re aware of these the better.
Many people think they have to change their minds or fix their problems in order to have peace of mind or progress in their lives. Most of what people need is actually just a clearer picture of what is manifesting in the present moment and how that happens. Knowledge is way more powerful than strategy.
When we ask a question, it actually comes from an inner knowledge of something very similar to it. In fact I can go as far as saying a question comes from an inner answer that is not yet clear. Most people are not aware of this fact that what we ask for comes from who we really are and what we’re uncovering. Once a person sees things this way, they’re exposed to a higher level of processing information.
There’s no need for a person to change who they are, they just need to understand themselves more. Understanding brings clarity and light to the heart and this increases the options a person has to move forward. It’s like new pathways suddenly show up where it looked like there was only one way.
The person can stay the same, think the same way, reason the same way and yet find themselves in a completely different situation. This is because when we reason things out, no matter how bad, there is also an underlying hidden reason that actually makes a lot of sense to us. And that hidden reason is always good and true and very valid. But good reasons in bad situations create worse situations.
This is where knowledge changes everything. When you really understand why you do what you do, you decide better even if you’re using the same logic. Two people can plot revenge in two very different ways. A student being bullied can either fight and hurt people or decide to become better than everyone academically. Both can be a form of revenge but are different in maturity or self knowledge.
What I’m trying to highlight is the subtle other inner sayings that take place that go unnoticed that actually hold the key to our freedom and wellbeing. It is the idea that there’s always more to what we perceive.
Things are more than what they look like. A gun can make you feel safe or make you dangerous to the public. An immune system can be seen as either an existing and separate system at work or just a thing that HEALTH does when insisting on being itself, which is to be healthy by all means. The more self aware you are the more you see the other side of everything.
