DISSATISFACTION!
Where does it live? Get to the root cause of dissatisfaction is only possible if you find where it exists. If it lives within you – that is also where the cause is found. Now, this doesn´t mean that you cant change things. But if we only change environment when we feel dissatisfaction, that is the pattern we will strengthen. Something will always need to change in order for us to feel satisfied. That means that we give all our power to outer circumstances. We become victims to what other people do. Thats just not a smart strategy in the long run.
I used to live mostly like a reaction to outer circumstances. The will to find truth and to end my dissatisfaction and other modes of suffering led me to make constant self awareness the most important thing in life. With that came in-sights. Important in-sights that made me more and more free of the whims of the outer environment. Hence less and less a victim to other people and the events of universe. This regardless of if I was managing a project, trying to love my dissatisfied lover or dealing with a tax audit. Thats why I kept self awareness as the most important thing in life. It gradually makes life more of what I want it to be and me a more powerful force of what I want me to be. …Whoever this “I” am.
Artist: Mimi and Laura are the kids of a good friend of mine and are truly artists. Not just spontanious life artists but also trained in various crafts of art.

WHO THE F*CK ARE YOU TO JUDGE?
“Most people I know are not as they supposed to be. They are behaving improperly and weird and should really take a look at themselves! Some are better then me though, but most are worse.”
Well, if I would listen to my mind this would be my reality. Its cultivated to evaluate, compare and judge. But really, who the f*ck am I to judge in universe? Before that cultivation, when I was a baby like on the picture, my mind was free from the habit of judging and comparing. The mind just perceived reality as it was; life happening in universe. The mind reacted to its instincts to attract food and love, but there was no thinking going on, it wasn’t “trying” to get love. There were no stories regarding that “dirty” guy with the tattoos or the “fat” girl in the cafe or the “un-cool kid” in the class or the “notsolovingassheshouldbe partner” in front of the tv.
Living a conscious life in mindfulness is to cultivate a beginners mind. A mind that is pure and can see things without the filter of judgments. Like the baby, but with consciousness. Every moment is fresh, new and interesting. People love to be around those people that have no judgments. People have a possibility to grow and evolve around a person that has no judgments. We see ourselves more clearly in the mirror of people that has no judgements. We are less scared to see ourselves in the mirror of people that has no judgments. Isn’t it so? Think about people that “take energy” to be around, and people that “gives energy” to be around.
In practicality, cultivating a beginners mind without judgement is mostly a un-cultivation of the mind. To see where judgments arise in the mind by automatic and just BE AWARE of them (without judging them) instead of BEING them; “he is dirty, she is fat, my partner isnotaslovingassheshouldbe etc”. By time the automation to judge and compare dissolve by itself and becomes weaker and weaker – the mind gets purified.

Artist: The model “Little Jonas” completely is innocent. He has no idea that he is a model and will exposed and used by the “Big Jonas” year 2016 in a blog post. He doesn’t even know “blog” or “2016” or “years” or “time” for that instance. Mama Faremo however has a broad artist vein running in her body and when younger painted paintings that decorated the walls of our house. Hopefully she picks up the brush again.

Give love gives love.
– Do you think love and happiness comes and goes together?
– Then what you call love is only an expectation of pleasure.
– If you feel love even if someone brings you pain?
– Then what you call love is love.
The mind tends to forget that what gives love is giving love. Instead it wants to GET love. When we feel that we want to get love – thats usually our que to GIVE!
A love exercise
I might as always be wrong but here is a practical love- and kindness exercise for you test this for yourself. Do you see the “chat-list” where all the people online is listed on your Facebook? Go through them all, yes everyone, and sincerely say; “Peace and happiness to you dear; (name), I love you”. If you don’t sit with a silly smile on you lips and radiating love at the end of the list, please let me know and I will admit it was a meaningless thing to do and personally apologize to you and whish you peace and happiness… I love you.

Need to defend = need for love!
Here is a perspective for you.
Maybe not true,
but a point of view;
When we don’t accept ourselves the need to defend can arise when someone else have another opinion then ours. If we are in love (acceptance) with all aspects of ourselves, and are ok with the uncomfortable feelings – the need to defend don’t arise. Instead we automatically see that It’s just another opinion; everyone have their own.
Now to clarify this perspective; the feeling of “need do defend” is not the same as defending. If a flock of hyenas attacks a lion, the lion doesn’t get offended and have the feeling; “I need to defend myself”. It just defends itself with all its powers. It’s the same with humans. If we find ourselves in a swarm of bees we instinctively start to wave our arms to defend ourselves. We don’t get offended and feel that they are wrong and I am right. (Maybe afterwards we can create that feeling when we have time to think. When we think, we can be offended by absolutely everything, like a bus getting late etc…)
Why I love going deep below the surface of consciousness into the unconscious with myself and my clients is because here lays the things we think we need to defend. These are the things that run the show and create mayham without we knowing it. These are the things that makes us feel offended, afraid, irritated or angry on reality. These are the things that turn us from a loving generous fellow human being into a (passively) aggressive asshole/bitch. If we can see these mental and emotional patterns, traumas and believes for what they are we are free! That’s what the light of awareness can do. It’s beautiful to see someone becoming free – every time it feels like the room gets lighter. We don’t need defensiveness if we are ok with our shadow sides. And boy do we save a lot of energy when we don’t get offended and have the need to defend our point of view!!!
“As you drop the burden of defensiveness and resentment, you become light-hearted, joyous and free. In this joyful simple freedom, you will know that what you want is available to you whenever you want it, because your want is coming from a state of happiness, not from a state of anxiety and fear” – Deepak Chopra, the seven spiritual laws of success.
Imagine politicians that feel loved. How great and productive the discussions would be when each point of view can enrich the totality of a topic. Imagine couples where both feel loved. How nurturing and supporting can they be towards each other? How high can that relating take them, with no one getting offended, just being enriched by the others point of view? I would love to experience that for sure, so I guess I will have to start loving my shadows!
