Comments on: The Mirror Of Other Peoples’ Performance http://www.livingawake.co.uk/2007/08/09/the-mirror-of-other-peoples-performance/ because you already have all you need Thu, 04 Dec 2008 01:49:26 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 By: Christopher http://www.livingawake.co.uk/2007/08/09/the-mirror-of-other-peoples-performance/#comment-25 Christopher Tue, 18 Sep 2007 13:21:22 +0000 http://www.livingawake.co.uk/2007/08/09/the-mirror-of-other-peoples-performance/#comment-25 This is all very and I was at the meeting referred to. The presenter i) turned up late, ii) was dressed like he slept rough, iii) used 'industrial strength' language liberally and iv) rambled on at length about his other self (the successful, suited, power-house). When he finally had a moment of self-realisation he then turned on the most asinine stage show I've seen since I was an evangelical Christian; the discomfort of his 'subjects' was clear (even to those without the aid of semantic-specs). Rubbish with a capital 'F'. This is all very and I was at the meeting referred to.

How about compassion for the pantman and for self? And let us remember that only by willing to be a fool can we be on our own cutting edge of evolution which is ultimatley for oneness, all. This trip to experience the pantman and your reaction to the pantman may well be the your valuable experience- and to share it so unabashedly with the world is totally precious. Where is the pantman in all of this? Awake? Aware? I wonder.. And I get to look at the pantmans in my life and my reaction to them. Thank You! Comment:

This young man obviously has no anxieties about not being good enough and charging for his mediocre performance - oh, if only we all were that confident of our abilities. An observation I would make is that sometimes it is the best, most capable, more aware people who have these fears because they set themselves very high standards. We can only do our best (yes, I am about to read the Four Agreements!) but for some of us 'best' is a place where stuff is just OK and for others it is a place of real excellence.

I think I have a similar mirror. My challenge is to stay in the moment. Sometimes (many times) it is easier to balme and project onto others - I know I do!! Hi

The bit on the blog that says, 'Iwas not beating myself up' is key to understanding what is going on for me here. i get to notice in the mirror what in my story leads me to chose to feel the anger etc. the things i outline are the 'story lines' i get to flush out by noticing in the mirror. i dont think what i have written makes it clear enough; by 'flush out', i mean i was not concious of them until the mirror brought them up, i thought what i was feeling was about him, turns out i was producing those feelings inside and the story i tell myself is in the bullet points, now i know i can let go because as you say that aint true or real, i am making them up! i know the story lines are not ME, i am the context they are playing in, and i have choice about them when i notice. The 'pants' man unkown to me is doing me a massive favour. Thank you jackie. The bit on the blog that says, ‘Iwas not beating myself up’ is key to understanding what is going on for me here.
