Last week I was experiencing some different signs of pain and discomfort. First I was having nose blood. It was more just blood stains in my snot, but I felt a bit concerned so I went to my kinesiology specialist Kim and here is what she shared with me :
Kim : “Looks like a point of ‘not leaving much room for different perspectives’. In a way being ‘stubborn’, or ‘stubbornly holding on to’ your own perspective, but also in a bit of a secretive way. Like ‘sure I’ll hear you out but at the end of the day I’m still going to stick to my guns and just see things the way I want to see things’. So I’d say, have a look at certain perspectives and ways of interpreting things that’s ‘Tormod’s experience’. Things you’re defining yourself by as ‘your point of view’ or ‘your opinion on things’ wherein you’re not being very flexible or open to expand or let go.”
But I would struggle with seeing the point – so the discomfort moves into pain under the palm of my right foot and on the tip of my right index finger.
I try to share with Kim what I see within myself, as I struggle to see the point she is making. I am all guessing in examples. Trying to make sense of what she is saying. So she explains some more.
Kim: “it’s more ‘secretive’. So you’re more looking at the point of for instance in a way pretending to ‘hear people out’ but you’re not actually willing to let go of your own way of looking at things, so at the end of the day you already know that no matter what people say to you, you’ll still just have your own way of seeing things. So you’ll more put on a face when people talk to you, as if you understand them but you’re actually not willing to.
Words that come up with the foot point are arrogance and ‘flights of fancy’. It is also related to the previous point. The index finger is a reluctance to direct the point. So it’s that point of ‘I’m going to do things my way anyways’ and a decision to disregard what other people say. And a sense of ‘disinterest’ in what people have to say cause you know you’re going to listen to yourself and do your own thing anyway. So when you do ‘listen’ it is more a form of pretending, but you don’t ‘listen’ with intent and involvement. You ‘only listen to yourself’”
From here the point slowly opens itself up for me and I can see how I make myself exclusive and more than – others like when I talk to someone I don’t really listen – I pretend to listen – and always stick to my way. So here is my self forgiveness on the matter:
I forgive myself as my beingness my innocence that I have accepted and allowed myself for moments when I talk to people, I often refuse to hear them, I pretend to be listening but in reality I do not listen to them at all, where I pretend to listen and hear them out but in fact I only want to listen to myself and my view and I therefor refuse to listen to others views and by that I become very self conscious and locked down, like following my secret desires – my ego.
I forgive myself as my beingness my innocence that I have accepted and allowed myself for only wanting to follow my ego and to excuse myself with thinking that I have to find a living word to suit the situation, and by that excuse create a pocket – a space within my mind where I only want to listen to myself and my findings – a secret door to remain self focused and self centered in and making myself more equal – than others – here I take it onto myself to release myself from this secret chamber and secret back door of ego – to empty all that out into nothing from forgiveness, and find myself willing to listen and hear people out as an equal to me.
I forgive myself as my beingness my innocence that I have accepted and allowed myself to be stubborn about my view – where I don’t want to give up my perspective and my view I only want to stick to my guns and I do not want to give other people’s view space within me.
I forgive myself as my beingness my innocence that I have accepted and allowed myself for the personality of being stubborn and in resistance to anything new or different where I only want to have things my way or no way at all.
I forgive myself as my beingness my innocence that I have accepted and allowed myself to think that my view is sacred and holly as I believe my findings are unique that my way is the only way that goes.
I forgive myself as my beingness my innocence that I have accepted and allowed myself to put on a face and pretend that I am listening to people when they talk, but in secret I only pretend to listen and to sort of agree and to say I understand but it is all an act and a play and it is not the real me – because I keep the real me captive by my secret mind – not willing to cooperate and listen to other people, and I end up with conflict and locking people out of my world, and I make myself captive in my own mind where the me that wants to cooperate and that wants to work together is being suppressed and denied to be, but rather the actor and pretender is what is left and that is not real – but fake and driven by ego and my desires to be righteous and more equal than others.
I forgive myself as my beingness my innocence that I have accepted and allowed myself to hold the part of me that wants to create, cooperate and live in harmony – I hold that captive and in locked down position within me – because I do not really care what people tell me – I have my own truth and I am sticking to it no matter.
I forgive myself as my beingness my innocence that I have accepted and allowed myself to be stubborn about my truth to the extent that I disapprove of any new findings, perspectives and views and within that to make myself more difficult to handle and I make myself more different and more stubborn.
I forgive myself as my beingness my innocence that I have accepted and allowed myself to refuse to take charge and direct this point because I did not want to admit that this is a problem for me, since I want to be right and follow my way and not listen to others.
I forgive myself as my beingness my innocence that I have accepted and allowed myself for trying to tone down this issue of not wanting to listen, with thinking that it is not that great a problem anyhow I can just pretend and smooth over this, it is not a big deal.
I forgive myself as my beingness my innocence that I have accepted and allowed myself for trying to sugar coat over my arrogance and my seeing myself as more than others and for trying to hide this secret of seeing others as lesser then and to think I am more than them.
I forgive myself as my beingness my innocence that I have accepted and allowed myself for being arrogant when talking to someone, where I would not want to listen and my arrogance kicks in and I start to judge and mock the being I am talking to in backchats in my head/mind.
I forgive myself as my beingness my innocence that I have accepted and allowed myself for the nasty spiteful shit from my backchats of my mind that would be spewed out within me and it would poison me and I simply feel more like judging the person I am talking to even more, and this can eventually lead to me breaking down within and without.
I forgive myself as my beingness my innocence that I have accepted and allowed myself to see myself as “more equal/more worthy” than others – because of who and how I am, where I fear to lower my guard to listen to other people and hear them out properly, because I have created this wall/war between me and them and in that I make other people enemies and I ignore what they say and I really don’t care about them, because of seeing myself as more equal/more worthy – within this I commit myself to lower my wall of arrogance and ignorance of them – to give them space and hear them out for what they say and where they come from.
I forgive myself as my beingness my innocence that I have accepted and allowed myself to create this bubble of self obsession – where I am God and I am always right – where others come later and second after I have first had, within this I will take it on to be more “going with the flow” – to practice be more flexible with my living and in general be more open to hear people out.
I forgive myself as my beingness my innocence that I have accepted and allowed myself to strengthen and solidify my inner bubble of self obsession from my knowledge and information, thinking I have the whole truth – there is no point in listening to others.
I forgive myself as my beingness my innocence that I have accepted and allowed myself to dive deep into me and just immerse myself in me and give all my focus to me and by that over time block out others and make myself exclusive – here I take it onto myself to see another and to truly recognize another and see who they and where they come from – because there is a heavenly world out there for me to take in.
I commit myself to give others more space within me – to more hear them out and be more open to other ways of thinking and other ways of doing things.
I commit myself to listen more to what others say and to consider their words and to practice hearing what they say and if possible and best for all – apply what they are saying.
I commit myself to see others as a equal to me – to make sure there is a place in my heart for them and to make sure I do not see myself as more than them or superior to them in any way because that is simply dictatorship and abuse – and I don’t accept that.
I commit myself to listen to the people who I surround myself with and care for their words and show interest in them and see them as an equal to me – no matter.
I commit myself to live the word humbleness and the word equality.
After this self forgiveness process Kim replies to me:
“Looks like you got the point. And yes, also when you’re working with things inside yourself, that’s also related to this point as it does take you away from listening to your environment and it puts you in a bubble of sorts. So it’s just the point of ONLY listening to yourself and what’s going on inside you and basically finding that more important than anything anybody else has to say. So it’s to just step outside that bubble a bit more and consider others as equal to you in terms of what they have to say and who they are. Cause there is that tendency to not really consider those around you as equally important as you, and so to get wrapped up in your own world and kind of forget about the world around you.”
