Epictetus said many years ago, “We are disturbed not by what happens to us, but
what we think about them.”
I will take Alainde Botton's Worry of Status book for a journey through history. . If you turn a westerner on the road in the Middle Ages and ask why the society is divided into three basic classes: farmers, priests, nobles.
With a strange look, he would say definitively and clearly: God's grace would say so. There was an unshakable belief in the society. Weakness, poverty was the fault of nature and they had to be allowed to perish so as not to pollute the rest.
This situation did not change until the middle of the 18th century. Until someone started questioning the principle of inheritance from father to son. How logical was it for a father to delegate all his business to his son without calculating his intelligence?
To put it in Napoleon's words, the heirloom nobles are the nation's scourges.
Later, equal opportunity in education became a part of community management. The rise of meritocracy began with the National Declaration of Human Rights, the Equal Employment Opportunities Act. the stories that consoled people until that day were pierced. Now, for centuries, Humans have created job opportunities in line with their abilities, instead of a rigid hierarchy.
So what made them take such a revolutionary step?
They are on a quest.
Until a period in the West, social status was watertightly submitted to the grace of God. And it was happening accordingly. When the time came, they awoke as if from a dream.
Here's what will wake us up from our accusatory, disturbing thoughts, and this is Bringing Your Thoughts to Reality With Honest and Understanding.
YOU ARE CONNECTED TO YOUR THOUGHTS OR QUESTION YOU HAVE NO OTHER OPTION!
What I'm about to tell you will consist of 4 questions. Look, the question isn't even an object.
Your thoughts mean nothing without your answers.
Question 1: Is this true? /this What is the Reality of Flour?
I want to start with Bülent Ortaçgil's song "must be or not". Should it be or should it not change at all, but if I don't change, I can't be/ Should I see or not see or not at all, but if I don't look, I can't see at all..
You see the rain falling whether you want it or not. And "it shouldn't rain." you say. “It should not rain”.” There is no such thing as just a thought should or should not actually be. His mind is like a seesaw. "It shouldn't rain" when one side sticks to the ground. We realize that the mind is stuck between its own thoughts. And when it's perfectly balanced -it's raining.- we know that the mind accepts reality as it is
The words Should or Shouldn't bring the mind into a story with stubs.
Question: Can You Definitely Know This Is True?
I should have been understanding about Ali.” Let's play with the expression a bit. Can you really know that you are less understanding? Maybe you have lived what you had to live and did what you had to do. If your answer is still 100% yes, it is appropriate to proceed to question 3. But if you hesitate a little, you can ask yourself the following questions:
AND THAT MEANS ……..
It's more about the phrase you write that hurts you. It can be an interpretative thought. This question will reveal how you interpret the truth.
“I should have been understanding about Ali.” You didn't really listen and Ali said to you I feel misunderstood. Try not to rewrite this statement with a comment attachment.
I should have been more understanding about Ali and that means ……………… Now that you understand what your interpretation is, you can question it.
Question How Do You React When You Believe This Thought?
It's hidden in your nature. and when you oppose it, you don't feel like yourself. Stress never comes as natural as peace.
When you believe in thought, your body What's going on? ARE YOU?
It's important to understand that questions are not about letting go of thinking, it's about noticing. If you think I want you to let go of your thoughts: ;I don't want to! Questioning is not about getting rid of thoughts, but realizing what is right through awareness and unconditional love. Once you see the truth, the thought leaves you;
Who Would You Be Without This Thought?
Now take a breath for a minute or two and imagine what you would be like if you didn't believe this thought. What do you see?
This question may leave you anonymous. You have nothing left and you just live the truth of the moment. “What will I do now? Nothing makes sense anymore.” And I ask, "Without the past or the future, you don't know how to live." Is this true?
