Why do we resist — learning about ourselves, feedback, or truths?

We resist, because somehow we know we won’t like the way we will feel, we may feel ungrounded, uneasy, judgmental, or upset.

This happens, because any truth or seeing more about ourselves or our relationships, or possibly anything at all, does not agree with our more normal state of mind. Truths can be rude, shocking, and disorienting.

All this occurs, because of our attachment to how we normally think and feel. We are mostly mind centered, much more in in our thinking than in our bodies. Being mind centered is to be unbalanced. We are a mind, body, and spirit. When we are split in any way, we suffer.

Depression is one such suffering. There is much to observe in meditation about the mind body connection. Every thought has a corresponding feeling in the body. Feelings, sensations in the body, are like the mind, shallow and deep. Then there are repressed feelings that power all our reactions. There is much to learn about ourselves

Very few people, including therapists, psychiatrists, biologists, doctors,etc, know that inside everyone are repressed emotions of rage, hurt, and fear. These are controlled, hidden and held in by decisions made at the time of a traumatic abuse.

This is true and denied, because it takes great awareness and fearlessness to uncover these things that create all our reactions and behaviors. We have all been seriously wounded from having been raised in a world in which there is almost no communication, respect, compassion, and love. My master, Osho, invented Dynamic Meditation, a very difficult thing to do without guidance, to unburden ourselves from these repressions. I am open to help anyone with awakening.
