Something i wanted to share, that i realised slowed down my progress, are my morals. I ‘learnt’ my morals and developed them myself in my teens and stood by them very firmly.
However these morals were very strict and even though i felt good by abiding by them i caused myself alot of tension due to my adherence to these, and dissapointment when others didn’t stand up to my morals. They were all mentally devised, not from the heart. Now i am trying to let go of these morals and be moralistic from the heart. It’s totally different and giving into the morals i had from my mind was hard to begin with.
I never thought my morals would get in the way of my practice. I thought through my practice i would develop stronger morals but not so!
