How to Dissolve Challenges
177
controlling our environment prevents broader dimensions from ever opening up.
Disgust, indignation and aversion end for sure when our current incarnation ends. For our next embodiment we may then decide whether it's worth to waste another life on this paralyzing mood, or if we not better choose a more open, more flexible attitude. We'll be challenged by this rejecting mood again and again until we dissolve it for good. So - why then not deal with it in this present life.
How to neutralize: Disgust, indignation etc. stop automatically as we focus on something new and exciting that lets us grow. True commitment to expansion makes any impeding mood fall off all by itself.
Exhaustion Activities that inspire are never tiring. Fascination with what we do even makes our energy rise far beyond our usual limits.
Sure, - dealing with challenges may exhaust us bodily and emotionally. Since going for expansion means to always be on the alert to rise above limits, this sometimes lets us deeply crave rest and ease of life.
To alleviate these tensions we automatically experience periods where we are less active, - similarly as sleep and waking rotate to regenerate mind and body.
The equanimity we feel during such rest-periods may easily look so attractive that we are tempted to hold on to it. Yet as unable as we are to extend sleep and dream, as little can we prolong these times of regeneration.
