Hello beautiful human being and welcome to our meditation today.
And today's meditation is on victimhood.
The strap of the mind that keeps us victims to ourselves.
It keeps us away from the freedom that lies beyond the victim of the mind.
And today's meditation is rooted in my personal writing.
And on the background you will hear a river,
The rapids,
This flowing beautiful river in the tropics of far north Queensland.
And this is where I've done this writing quite a few months back.
And today I'd like to share it with you in the form of a meditation.
So I'm inviting you to come to a comfortable seat or lying down position,
Whatever feels comfortable for you.
And let's ground ourselves together,
Just taking a few deep breaths.
Feeling the breath going through your nose,
Into your lungs.
And opening your mouth,
Signing it out.
And another deep breath here together.
Open your mouth,
Sign it out.
Just feel how deepening your breath makes you feel.
How deepening your breath has a potential to ground you in the present moment.
And closing your eyes,
Let me take you on a journey.
On a journey to freeing our mind from the victim mentality,
The victimhood that we have adopted so deeply as a society.
I'm not a victim of the world I see.
You're not and I'm not.
Whatever is unfolding in front of our eyes is merely but a projection of our inner worlds.
It is what it is,
Nothing more,
Nothing less.
If you like to change it,
Change it.
If you don't,
Just keep manifesting that which you see unfolding.
So how can you be the victim of your very own worlds?
Have you not created it yourself?
Own it.
This reality is rightfully yours,
The product of your dreaming.
The ego self created a victim and trapped the mind.
No better time than now to break free from this prison.
But how?
I'm sitting by beautiful rocky river,
Its waters glistening in the sun,
Streaming down the rocks,
Flowing forcefully around boulders,
Bubbling up to the surface like boiling water.
Its sound is soothing to the ear,
All the whirlpools and splashes joining as one in perfect harmony.
A pool of calm water on the side in staggering contrast to the disturbed surface of the rapids.
A natural waterfall of flowing water smoothly glides down the elevated rocky dropdown.
And so it keeps flowing undisturbed,
Unobstructed,
Uninterrupted.
This scene has timeless and limitless beauty to offer,
A true gift of nature.
Only it is a shame that we are not fully present to receive it.
We do not steal our mind enough to notice all it has to offer.
We are too busy with the thinking and stories to rest in its beauty.
Hard work it is to tame the mind,
But trust me,
It's all worth it at the end.
It requires willingness,
Patience,
Persistence.
I am sitting by beautiful rocky river that revealed the truth of my victimhood to me.
I am the river.
I am all the waters of the world.
Am I a victim for being polluted,
Misused and emptied?
Look at my beauty.
I still gracefully flow with the same force,
Love and joy.
I do not discriminate.
I give unconditionally.
I flush down,
Renew,
Nurture life.
I am a home to many life forms.
I am a source of life itself.
I am not a victim.
I have always been,
Always am and always will be.
I am connected to my source.
I am free.
I am wild.
I accept my fate gracefully.
I have been tamed at the human dance,
But when the rain comes,
I am released.
I have been polluted relentlessly,
But I keep filtering,
Lashing and restoring.
I have been continuously emptied,
But I keep regenerating and giving.
I am not angry.
I am not frustrated.
I am not resentful.
I am not a victim.
Forgiveness is my true nature.
Forgiveness is my peace.
If I was caught up in a victim mentality like you,
I would get mad.
I would get so triggered that there is no stopping me.
I would act from this place.
I would stop flowing.
I would not filter and renew.
I would deprive you of the water.
I would deprive your crops of the water of life so that they can't grow.
I would cause death all around.
And who am I hurting?
When I close off my flow,
My nature from you,
I will get hurt.
I will dry out.
I will forget how to give and receive.
And as I get hurt,
Everything around me gets hurt.
There is no way to go,
No way to run.
You cannot escape it.
Can you see the parallels?
What is happening in your world?
This victim mentality is killing you slowly.
It deprives all forms from the very life itself.
It is taking you further and further away from your knowing,
From remembering.
It is destructive force of darkness.
It breeds fear.
It suffocates.
It puts doubt in your mind.
It distorts your perception.
And so you get angry,
Frustrated,
Resentful,
All of which gets trapped inside of your very own being.
So you can no longer just be.
At no fault of your own,
You cannot contain all that has been building inside for much longer.
It follows the natural law and spills out,
Flowing into each and every one of your relations.
No one is spared.
Whether it is in act or in thought,
It reminds you of its existence.
Your reality is lived through the victimhood.
You get angry,
You deprive your enemy of love.
You give silent treatment.
You hate,
You attack,
You defend,
You blame,
You criticize.
You act immorally,
You gossip,
You escape,
You reject.
All of these are poison to you.
Once you become aware,
You will realize the fatal mistake.
But it is not too late,
As the power of choice can save you from the doomsday.
A choice is always one breath away,
For that is where its power lies.
The trigger comes,
Pause,
Breathe,
Feel,
Inquire.
Then release and connect,
And then act.
Never again acting out of trigger.
Always make a conscious choice.
Awareness is always there waiting for us to get connected to.
I am sitting by a beautiful rocky river that has many stories to tell.
Nature is my best teacher.
Today it revealed the secret of letting go of my victimhood.
Today is a new chapter,
A new way of moving forward,
A new practice to live by.
The river shows me the way to freedom.
I shall be patient with myself.
I will return to the nature for guidance.
It always leads the way.
And taking a deep breath together.
I feel joy to share my writing with you.
I hope it brought you insights and hope.
I feel blessed for this opportunity to share my teachings with you.
To share the insights that I receive for myself.
I feel so grateful for your presence and you being here with me,
Listening to this recording.
I am looking forward to connecting with you again in other meditations.
Much love to you and speak to you soon.
