RE: For a Simpler Life, don't have Expectations...

Just checked in here, thanks for your heartfelt answer, sorry I could not make it earlier;
Interesting, although french is my mothertongue haven't written in it for ages, I'm not using it that much anymore funnily but I appreciate its ingenuity and subtle articulation of nuances. Especially la langue des oiseaux, my partner having learnt french in school only, is the one pointing out to me some very fascinating nuances and meaningful subtleties which is quite fascinating! 🌞
Oh yeah, expectations and ego. If I'm honest I don't like my ego to motivate me anymore, it takes me away from what really comes to my awareness and his ideas of what I should do are not what is truly of interest in me deeply. It's just running on the programs of what the outside world deems important and significant whereas lately I realized there is so much in this world I actually don't give a damn about even if I would be pretty good at it.. so that perspective helped me skip the nonsense and superficialities and took me back to my true inner drive. Which frankly was super frustrating because as soon as I didnt listen to my ego anymore I felt like there was nothing I felt like doing, I had no purpose, felt totally useless and worthless. But eventually some things came up that I could not deny felt very significant. Only they were so "small" sometimes that my ego had never considered them wortwhile 🤭
Hope that makes sense!
Will definitely mention you when I post about that,
Wish you a great weekend filled with blessings! 🌸
Hello @housecatharsia !
I'm late as well :)
Completely ! I get what you're meaning, I feel that ego is power of the towns, must still use it as I'm still living in one ^^ However, I feel that this can motivate me in some cases, in studies or meditation, but never in an exclusive or negative way, always quite oriented towards the search for the good and the beautiful necessary and not superfluous... But I agree it can also be a dangerous energy !
Oui, le français, c'est une langue magnifique et c'est parfois regrettable qu'à force de parler - ou d'écrire - en anglais, on la pratique moins. Est-ce que tu lis toujours des livres en français ?
Merci pour ton beau message, je te souhaite une magnifique semaine 🌱
Hi!
I find your stance interesting and after feeling into it, perhaps you also describe & experience the willpower of the masculine energy, which would make a lot of sense, since that directive power is needed in many endeavors indeed; what you write about feels like pointing an arrow toward the star 😉 (just like healthy Mars Archetype actually!)
As my mind tends to be overly masculine I needed to get back into my feminine energy and sit still and open up to receive instead, especially because the status quo had convinced us to act and function too much from our masculine side which is quite imbalanced in a female body experience honestly
C'est ça, mais à chaque fois que je l'entends, surtout quand c'est un sujet profond, mon coeur fond c'est vrai. Les tournures et l'agilité des mots à aller au vif du sujet avec subtilité et à la fois audace, je ne l'ai pas retrouvé de telle manière dans d'autres langues.
Lecture moins, et sans intonation c'est devenu un peu dur quand c'est complexe, mais j'apprécie la richesse du vocabulaire.
En revanche j'ai récemment découvert l'alchimiste Jean Dubuis, et l'entendre parler m'a fait comprendre des nuances de la vie et de l'existence que j'aurais jamais pu entendre en anglais! Il est une âme très perspicace et la façon dont il s'exprime a résonné dans mon être entier, si tu ne le connais pas, je sens que ça pourrait te "brancher" 😊
Belle fin de semaine à toi aussi & meilleurs voeux,
Kaliphae
Oui, il y a en effet pas mal de cela, c'est peut-être aussi cette volonté de contrôle total qui est m'est de plus en plus étrangère..! Surtout lorsqu'on se dit une bonne fois pour toute que c'est globalement une illusion.. C'est un peu comme les maîtres zen ou bouddhistes qui évoquent les choses sous plusieurs aspects à la fois, conventionnels, intérieurs et spirituels.
Je vais aller voir cela à propos de Jean Dubuis, j'ai un ami très intéressé par l'alchimie, j'imagine qu'il doit connaître, mais je lui demanderai. Merci pour cette recommandation !
Bonne journée et à bientôt :)
