Anthony de Mello - Wezwanie do miłości

Es war einmal eine Frau, die lag schon lange im Koma. Auf einmal erschien es ihr, als sei sie schon tot, als wäre sie im Himmel und würde vor einem Richterstuhl stehen. »Wer bist du?« fragte eine Stimme. »Ich bin die Frau des Bürgermeisters« antwortete die Frau. »Ich habe nicht gefragt, wessen Ehefrau du bist, sondern, wer du bist.« »Ich bin die Mutter von drei Kindern.« »Ich habe nicht gefragt, wessen Mutter du bist, sondern wer du bist.« »Ich bin eine Lehrerin.« »Ich habe auch nicht nach deinem Beruf gefragt, sondern wer du bist.« »Ich bin Christin.« »Ich habe nicht nach deiner Religion gefragt, sondern wer du bist.« Und so ging es immer weiter. Alles, was die Frau erwiderte, schien keine befriedigende Antwort auf die Frage »Wer bist du?« zu sein. Irgendwann erwachte die Frau aus ihrem Koma und wurde wieder gesund. Sie beschloss nun herauszufinden, wer sie wirklich war. Und darin lag der ganze Unterschied. Wer bist du · Anthony de Mello · Leben und Selbsterkenntnis · Geschichte Read the full article

✌️✌️✌️I read a lot of Anthony DeMelo’s stuff. This quote is interesting. Basically he’s describing the fine art of acceptance. However, this quote provokes a deeper meaning. “Cooperation with the inevitable” is great sentence. How does one cooperate with the inevitable? Reading DeMelo provides a context. DeMelo was a Catholic priest, psychologist, and psychotherapist. However, he also adopted and taught on the principles of the Eastern religions (much to the dismay of the Vatican). Interestingly, a common theme across both Catholicism and the Eastern traditions is the inevitability of suffering. Clearly, DeMelo sees this as the key concept necessary for a “good life”. We have been conditioned (literally psychologically conditioned via media and marketing) to think happiness is job 1 and if we are not blissful and happy there must be something wrong us. So let’s go buy a Lexus because that is what the happy people in the commercial do…. Obviously it’s grade A bullshit. Suffering and set backs are 100% guaranteed. None of us get out of here alive. And we will lose people and things along the way. And it will suck. And a Lexus will not fix it. But we can have a good life regardless of circumstances if we focus on meaning. And purpose. And service to others. This doesn’t mean we don’t WORK HARD to improve our conditions. We don’t simply say “oh well shit happens…. No problem I’m gonna chill on my couch smoke the hippie lettuce and eat Flamin’ Hot Cheetos while binge watching Stranger Things on Netflix. That’s not acceptance. That’s escape. Acceptance demands we do not escape. Cooperation with the inevitable demands we activate and lean in to the pain. Nothing easy about any of this. But easy doesn’t breed heroes. Be the hero of your own life. @youturnhealth #recovery #addiction #trauma #anthonydemello #suffering #mentalhealth #sober #sobriety #happy #positivepsychology #life #lifestyle #motivation #inspirationalquotes https://www.instagram.com/p/CkRVSGOO_-V/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
