The Pain Body

It seems that human beings, always keep some kind of pain in themselves. Be if it is physical or mental if it is physical, the human deals with the situation better because the ailment, accident or physical dilemma has a cause and the physical is blamed on that situation. But really the physical is actually caused by the mental; it’s way of getting its fulfillment of the pain body, its way of getting attention.

The mental pain body seems to gets its fulfillment from being angry, lashing out, complaining, to get a response from someone, so it can feel superior.

Humility

In most cultures humility is not shown, practiced, understood or admired. The leader of most cultures is not to show humility, or bow the knee or help others. The leader of such cultures is there to be served; if vulnerability is shown such as humility there is a loss of respect.

Humility is rarely shown in the business world, has your boss ever served you. What are on display in the business world are acts of greed, self-centered comments and actions, you get ahead by manipulating and pushing and having the ability to impress other people, even if it is not the truth in ones own life. Humility is appreciated but it is not often modeled in the business world.

Even though some think it, humility is not a sign of weakness, insecurity, or inferiority. Show me a genuine humble person and they will generally have a strong inner character, and great strength, and usually enormous security.

Humbling yourself before others is not easily done. There is a down side to getting good at humility, you can get proud of it and there is nothing worse than having proud humility!

Zen

A girl in a village became pregnant. Her parents demanded who was the father. She said it was the Zen Master. The parents of the girl went to the Zen Master, and said you made our girl pregnant! He said, is that so? When the child was born the girls parents took the child to the Zen Master and said, this is your child you look after it! The Zen Master said, is that so? The Zen Master lost all of his students; his friends and village people shunned him. The Zen Master cared for and loved the child. A year later the girl felt guilty and finally told her parents the truth, that the child’s father was the Butchers son in the village. The parents went to the Zen Master told him the truth and took the child back, apologized, said they were sorry. The Zen Master said, is that so?

In this story the Zen Master did not let his ego run the show he just took things in stride and he new that things would work out what ever way they were suppose to. In life all of us have been accused of things we did not do, and things that we did not even know we were even being accused of. The reason accusations start and are carried on threw gossip, and people put you down. Their ego needs a boost; the ego needs something to feed on to make them feel good about themselves. Their ego needs a reaction from someone, somewhere or something!
