New Facade

It's almost impossible to accept all parts of self, there is always some partial denial or resistance, but based on what? What is it about our creation that is so ugly and repulsive? There is absolutely nothing about us that is not an absolution, a total package.

It is our thinking that has created a dark and a light, a good and an evil, a beautiful and an ugly. We are ultimately what we think ourselves to be, but we are even more; that which we desire ourselves to be, the image we want to flaunt to the world.

Through this desire we create denial, denial of those things which we find to be flaws or weaknesses, things that don't fit the image of self. In that we are living a lie, and it is not those things, those so called dark sides of us which cause imbalance and unhappiness but rather the denial of those things and the disappointment in ourselves.

It’s a facade we maintain. That maintenance costs us everything, the very essence of living.

When however, we accept the totality of ourselves, learn to recognize everything we think and feel to have originated from ourselves and accept that as it is, we no longer need to lie, to deceive ourselves, we can be free.

Through that freedom we can perceive the world differently; we can see that there is no differentiation necessary. We don't need to run from ourselves, self-medicate ourselves and be disappointed in ourselves. We need to accept ourselves.
