Religion Self

You're stupid. Ugly. Too short, tall, skinny, fat, dark, light, or slow. You'll never amount to much. You don't measure up. You're not good enough. I don't want you. Failure. Damaged goods. Loser. Ouch! There are as many labels as there are abusive parents, schoolyard bullies, mean girls, and self-righteous preachers to slap them on you. The two most important labels in your life are how you label yourself and how you label God. These labels create self-fulfilling prophecies. They determine how you relate to yourself, to others, and to God.

With how busy our lives can be, the stress of the future, and even the worries we feel whenever we’re just trying to live, it can take a toll on the body.

Sit back, relax, and hear these wonderful stories, and you’ll see, as you listen to them, how relaxing it can be for you, and how, with a few small stories, they can relax you, so you’re happy and satisfied.

Perhaps no declaration incites more theological and moral outrage than a human's claim to be divine. Those who make this claim in ancient Jewish and Christian mythology are typically represented as the most hubristic and dangerous tyrants. Their horrible punishments are predictable and still serve as morality tales in religious communities today. But not all self-deifiers are saddled with pride and fated to fall.

For most people, the chaos and noise happening around them and within their own minds feels like all there is. They live in a constant state of reactivity, being pushed and pulled by the thoughts and emotions they experience. Everyone has a voice in their head, including you. The good news—perhaps the best news anyone can ever hear—is that this voice is not who you are. You are the presence that witnesses the voice, but you are not the voice. Knowing this allows you to observe what your inner voice is doing and thinking.

Many of us believe that in order to please God, we have to be perfect. It’s an easy lie to buy into. In a culture that emphasizes accomplishment and ever-higher goals, we feel driven to do more, achieve more, be more. And we get caught up in the unforgiving treadmill of self-imposed rules, believing that we should, we need to, we must. The result? Anger, frustration, and anxiety that keep us far away from the life of peace that Jesus promised.

On the spiritual path we speak of enlightenment. But how do we reconcile the idea of enlightenment with what we see when we look in the mirror - when insecurities, doubts, and self-centered tendencies arise in our minds? Dzigar Kongtrül suggests that we need not feel "doomed" when these experiences surface. In fact, such experiences are not a problem if we are able to simply let them arise without judging them or investing them with so much meaning. This approach to experience is what Kongtrül calls self-reflection.
