A question I'm almost ashamed to ask. What solution do I have (apart thought control) to get rid of an overwhelming feeling of injustice vis-a-vis a bad mark I got at an exam recently (...although I passed the exam) ? I even have stomach aches and can hardly get asleep on the evening. I feel *excessively* rejected, inferior, blahblah. I jump as soon as I close the eyes to meditate. Cannot continue like this, otherwise I'll become a kangaroo :-) The worse is that I know I'm acting (or rather, feeling) stupidely. I'm the one allowing or creating an impact on me. But I can't help doing as I do, at this stage. In possible relationship, I had a sort of hint when I just read in IIH's further steps (I'm flipping through the pages to get motivation) at the top of p. 229 : "Therefore it would be fundamentally wrong to indulge in the past and to regret every unpleasantness that fate has placed in your path. Only weaklings constantly complain and expect pity". "My" Tipharet is maybe sending me a message with His/Her usual amenity. At the same time, I realise all this may be a trip in the past due to my recent introspection : this feeling was almost my "raw material" when I was between 10-20 old. But it does not tell me how I can break this auto-feeding vicious circle. Any idea ? What I'm gonna do right now, for the first time, is to approach the problem from the point of view of the Elements. Looks to me that Fire and Earth are expressing themselves below their optimal level, if I may say :-) So I'll use magic of Water and pore breathing to initiate an embryo of balance, and auto-suggestion to induce "transmutation". May not be covered by the health insurance, but it may work :-) ...But I'd still welcome any input ! And since I'm at it : what should I do when my consciousness tells me to use tricks to help me going through certains exercises, and that I find those tricks as exercises a few levels further in IIH, a few days later ? May I still proceed ? Love to all. NB
