MOC : [[SPIRITUALITÉ]] - [[DÉVELOPPEMENT PERSONNEL]] Date : 2024-02-19 Auteur : [[Mickael A Singer]] Source : [[Living Untethered]] *** ## Que se passe-t-il quand on est dominé par nos samkaras ? Your samskaras are what cause your heart to open and close. - Your inner state becomes dominated by the unfinished energy patterns stored inside, and you become totally lost in them. In this state, you are not in charge of your thoughts or emotions. Nor are you in charge of the opening or closing of your heart. The activated samskara has taken over your life. If you’re not careful, it will determine your future by the choices you make in that unclear state. ([Location 1371](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B09LLTRR3Z&location=1371)) - Here’s an example of what the mind sounds like when a samskara has been hit: “I can’t believe he said that. My father used to say stuff like that to me, and I hated it. That’s why I left home so young. No way I’m going through that again. I don’t need to be in a relationship with someone who reminds me of my father.” As logical as that may sound—it’s not. This person you are interacting with is not your father, and if you didn’t have those samskaras left from your relationship with your father, you would probably be handling your current relationship much better. In the truest sense, what was said didn’t bother you—it hit the samskara, and the activated samskara bothered you. Regardless, to protect yourself from the disturbance, you closed your heart. Your samskaras are what cause your heart to open and close.

You’re not being true to yourself—you’re being true to your blockages. That’s all your psyche is. Your psyche is the net result of all your blockages and how the energy manages to flow through them.** ([Location 1419](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B09LLTRR3Z&location=1419)) - Understanding the effects of these blockages helps explain why it’s so difficult to make personal decisions. What you’re trying to see is how one choice or the other will make you feel. “Should I marry this person, or should I wait until I establish my career?” You’re using these thoughts to see how the different choices will shift the flow of your energy through your blockages. The problem is you have so many conflicting blockages stored in there that what to do is not clear. Of course it’s not clear; you’re consulting your inner mess and expecting a clear response. All the while, you are noticing that these thoughts and emotions keep shifting inside. The important question is not what to do about this, it is: Who is noticing all this? The same consciousness is aware of this entire process going on inside. There may be many samskaras in there, but there are not many of you in there. There is only one consciousness watching all these competing patterns and identifying with them. ([Location 1432](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B09LLTRR3Z&location=1432)) - **When you become one integrated seer—the single witness watching all these different things pass by inside—you are centered. You are clear. You are free.** But when you don’t sit in the seat of the witness, and your sense of being is split amongst all these diverse inner patterns, things become very confusing. ([Location 1439](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B09LLTRR3Z&location=1439)) - People in this state struggle to find themselves. They feel they must choose which of these personalities is really them. The answer is quite clear: none of them are you. Please don’t pick one of them and let that choice determine your life. None of your thoughts are more you than any other thought. You are the one who is experiencing the thoughts. There’s not a single thing about those shifting energy patterns that is you.

Et il ne faut pas s'identifier avec les parts. - **If you are letting the avoidance of your inner problems define what you’re doing, all you’re doing is expressing your inner problems outside.** ([Location 1633](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B09LLTRR3Z&location=1633))
