DISCIPLINE

Discipline - this is something that I have been struggling a bit with understanding lately and this morning it all made sense. Let’s see if I can spit it out in a way that makes sense to anybody else.

Discipline in the context of the Spiritual Journey can be an eddy. You know what an eddy in a river is, right? A place where the water swirls around and gets stuck. A boat that wanders into an eddy gets stuck and you have to paddle hard to get out of it and back into the flowing current. When a person believes that they are healing, but they simultaneously judge themselves by inflicting “discipline” as a form of punishment for a shortcoming, they have entered an eddy.

When someone talks about needing to apply discipline in life, they are usually pointing out that you need to be committed. You need to push through whatever is making you procrastinate or come up with excuses for not doing something. It’s easiest to see in the scenario of exercising. You know you should exercise to condition your body. You may know you have not been doing much of it and you also know it’s important, so you make a decision to do it. And then, you either stick to that plan, or you don’t. And if you don’t, we say that you have a lack of discipline. Or that you are lazy, etc.

This is BULLSHIT. All of it is bullshit and here’s why. If you are coming at yourself from a place of lack, a sense that something is missing or something is “wrong” with you that you need to “fix”, then you are operating out of your Ego. The thing that labels and judges and tells you what you “should” or “shouldn’t” do or be. Your Ego is the thing which tells you that you are lacking something, that you are not already enough just as you are… that you are “less than” and that you need to remedy the situation. Or worse, that you are “less than” and there’s nothing you can do about it, so you just need to accept that and internalize it as part of your label of yourself.

I see this happening all over the truther movement, all over the channels, all over the health channels, of course, and even on some of the more spiritual ones. People are saying, I need to get back in shape, I need to ramp up my spiritual practice, I need to do this, that or the other thing. Some of them are even shaming people for not doing this, or they are approaching their announcement of what they are doing as the “right” thing to do. And it’s been rubbing me the wrong way for a while, but I couldn’t quite put my finger on WHY.

“What’s wrong with being motivated to make good changes,” you might ask? “How else would one go about this? You need to kick yourself in the ass to make change, right?”

WRONG.

Wrong, wrong, wrong and FUCKING wrong. If you are doing that to yourself, then you are operating out of your Ego. And it’s not your fault, because this is one of the fundamental conditionings that we have all been subjected to. “No pain, no gain.” “Gotta fix the problem.” “You can do it, just try harder.”

And the question then becomes, “Well, if I’m not supposed to approach it in that way, what am I do to? I really don’t understand any other way to make these changes happen. I AM lacking. I AM falling short. I DO need to try harder.”

Nope. That’s erroneous thinking and it is operating in denial of who and what you are.

But this is where the magic happens. The REAL mastery.

Here's what you do. You stop worrying about it.
You stop seeing a problem and see an opportunity instead. You work on your viewpoint and your perspective. Not your body, or your label of yourself and your life.
