pondering this a bit today. how strong is our can, how strong is our cant and does it really matter matter? say we want peace within, there may be a part of us that believes it can happen and a part that believes it cant. also, which is stronger? which do we give more credit to? the possibilites in life are the possibilites, whether or not we believe them. so how strong we believe , does it matter, because what is possiblie is possible?.
take eckhart tolle and byron katie for example. Both were in deep states of depression, doing no practices, and their transformation occured. Now please dont get me wrong, i am not saying give up yoga practies. So in their deep state of depression, how strong where their beliefs of overcoming it, if im not mistaken katie was in the bed for a couple years.
maybe for some of us knowing that the amount of our conviction may not, matter might be liberating as possibilities are possibilities. it may take a bit of pressure off and then we open up to the possibilities.
