The Feeling Place and my Inner Being

Who determines how I feel? No other has the power to influence how I feel (no matter the situation), except me. When I blame another for how I feel, it is my personal battle and has nothing to do with the other.

For instance, the loss (transition from the physical) of a loved one, makes me feel miserable not for the other but for myself because of the fact that the other is no longer going to be physically around me. It is my battle with my inner being.

My relationship with my inner being is all that matters. The better I feel, the closer I am to myself (Source/Inner Being), as source sees everything and everyone from a place of love. Others are a reflection of how I am vibrating towards them.

I am energy and an extension of source, in physical form. Some call it source energy, some god, some a supernatural power - it is all the same!

For those who don't understand or believe that every particle in this universe is made up of energy, the theory - 'You don't give another the power to determine how you feel', may make sense.

In totality, how I feel is up to me and NOT you, thus allowing me to create a great life experience (of love, happiness, joy and bliss), for myself!!!

Self

Are we humans selfish? In a sense 'yes' and in a sense 'no', is how I see it. We constantly think of what we want. Work, career and thus money that leads to material comforts. We shop, eat for ourselves and feel good. In the process we satisfy ourselves, so we are selfish? At the same time we tie ourselves down by society and relatives. We live for parents, spouse, children and extended family, making sacrifices and doing things we don't like. Are we compelled to or do we give in? Some of us do return to the society, from time to time in our own small way.Do I still label ourselves as selfish?

What is wrong if one says one wants to go 'incognito'? To be in disguise or a false identity does not sound right or nice but what if one wants to be away from all those who one knows and is tuned to be responsible and answerable to? It is not about escapism. As for right and wrong, there is no such thing, it is all grey and again it is society(us humans) that decides and defines the 'right' and the 'wrong'.

Why can't we think beyond the self and yet do things for the self the way one wants to without being bound by ties and society?

At this point, I can only quote Robert Frost:
“The woods are lovely, dark and deep
But I have promises to keep
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.”
