The more deeply we go to spirituality, the more authentic it becomes. As we explore the root dilemma of being human, it seems to touch on feelings of self-inadequacy. Whatever problem there is, it points back to the idea that the self is not enough. We can look at the nature of love between the dance of human beings. So, in this episode, Tiger Singleton offers wisdom on what is self-love through the following topics:

The magnanimity of genuine love The incarceration caused by fear The liberation offered by self-honesty

The magnanimity of genuine love

Genuine love is without any conditions and expectations. It is a love where one says, “I accept you as you are. I see you as you are.” The most sincere love is a great movement of allowing.

However, the conditioning we grew up with made love a possessive or conditioned love. We deem love as, “I love you if…,” or “I want to love you in the future.” It doesn’t speak to a love which is present but a love if we get what we want.

Thus, when we examine love in human beings, it is a desire for us to be what we are and to discover a space where we can be ourselves.

The incarceration caused by fear

The permission to be our most natural is a permission to be honest with our feelings, emotions, thoughts and humanness. It is also the great difficulty where we believe we can’t be honest and truthful to what we are because of our intrinsic fears. We are afraid to be rejected for simply being ourselves. We are unlovable if we are not true to our nature. We have an innocent belief where we must be who others want us to be.

So, the authenticity of spirituality is when we connect to our spirit, a foundation is created where we can recognize safety and sincerity. We can lay down our defenses and be human. If spirituality gives rise to healing, it for us to see this truth and it can be painful because we will come face-to-face with our fear.

The liberation offered by self-honesty

Self-love is self-honesty. Self-honesty or sincerity is acknowledging what is true, real and actual. The sincerity of love is we are permitted to be honest and to be ourselves. This way, we allow and accept others to be what they are, too. We let them feel, think, and experience the way they want.

The reason we are not ourselves is we believe other people judge us. The fear of judgment is painful, but to feel it and see it is self-inflicted is not wrong. To feel the pain is for us to recognize we are not allowing ourselves to be what we are. So, we end up blaming ourselves or others, and when we withhold love, we withhold it to everyone including ourselves.

So, it is for us to remember being human is to experience all the seasons. The freedom to be what we are holds space for others to be what they are, too. In order to connect with the truth of life, we can let go of the life we have. We can be in-touch with something real. It is like a loving friendship where it is an, “I love you, regardless.” All we can do is recognize something is wrong and listen to it. It is a cycle where we are put back in-touch with our being.

Group’s reflection and questions:

The huge impact from my experience with everything said seems to starts from childhood, about parents or the very beginning of our life We can say the dilemma begins in the belief of separation and we are born into it. The separation-belief is like believing in blame and rejection. So, it looks like we experience those things. Interestingly, the healing of childhood separation takes place in recognizing we are whole. What happens to a baby who is separated from the parents and deprived of love? It is encoded in the illusion of separation where when there is this and that, there is also remembering and forgetting, losing and finding. So, to be human is to suffer. Whatever is going on in the world - the different ways children are raised and the different experiences- are all part of it. Then, it is for us to share compassion rather t

Show summary: For this episode of CMSM, Tiger inspires us to express ourselves in today’s world by allowing the truth of who we are. With guest singer, Jeska Onderwater, we are invited to recognize we are flowing through life to honor the One. We definitely are blessed!

The musings of this episode are:

The opportunity of self-expression in today’s world The obstacle in self-expression Our gifts and talents are a service to the truth Love can flow when we see this

The opportunity of self-expression in today’s world

Tiger shares with us that expressing ourselves in today’s world is an opportunity to just let Life flow. Life’s flow is the expression and everything expresses the One. The moment we recognize the One, we relax, and offer ourselves to Life.

What restricts us to fully express ourselves is our attempt to hold on to who we think we are. It is an ego structure when we believe it is necessary for us to protect our idea of ourselves. However, when we realize that it is an ego play, it can become an opportunity for us to be nearer to the sacred.

We can observe the ego with compassion and love and realize that any disturbance is an innocent misunderstanding. When we see the truth of what’s happening, we simply listen to it knowing in our hearts all is well. We can see that ego’s confusion is also an opportunity for love to be seen.

The obstacle in self-expression

Expressing ourselves in the world can be compared in relationships. The difficulty in relationships happens when we try to get something from it. We believe that when we can get something, we can be ourselves. Tiger says, “You can’t be you. The frustration of being human is thinking there’s something that we want,” (T.S., 2019).

The opportunity of relating is to see what we already are similar to the relationship of life.

When we share love, we feel love. Whatever we give, we give to ourselves. Likewise, when we are trying to take something, we assume we do not have it. It is for us to ask ourselves, what does it feel?

Our gifts and talents are a service to the truth

It is about God, life itself, the miracle of being. Everything that happens is in service to the truth so life can be life. None is in service of who we think we are, none is personal.

Our gift and talents are not about us. Whatever flows thru us, life is asking for it, for our sincerity, our heart, confusion, fear and everything else. We give all back to God. So, we need to stop trying to get credit for what we can give.

Love can flow when we see this

The willingness to observe what is happening is the moment that is allowed to flow. When we acknowledge what pain is about, when we lose our self-importance, love can go there.

Being disturbed lays a foundation for love to be seen. It leads to a deeper discovery of love. However, often times though, we ignore such sincerity and we try harder and harder.

So, we are encouraged to let people see what they see. If there is difficulty, there is something in you that not let them see what they see. Believe in something different.

Tiger adds, “When you see deeply that nobody else sees you or they stop wanting to see you, just let go. If you really want to be seen, what you are asking for is to see the truth. The mind can distort that desire by saying, ‘I want to be loved,’ (T.S. 2019). When that happens, we separate ourselves by wanting someone to love us.

If we see ourselves trying to protect, avoid, defend, we can be honest about why are we so? We can ask ourselves, “Why are you afraid?” The answer often times leads to our fear of losing who we think we are so, see that and we will see we are everything.

In this episode, Tiger Singleton invites us to see what the primary misunderstanding on spirituality is. A common theme of spirituality these days is thinking that our spiritual discovery is about other people which only leads to more judgement. It is also taken as a defense mechanism. So, we are invited to delve into the real meaning of the spiritual practice.

Meditation:

For these quiet minutes, we distinguish the presence, where breath, sensation and everything come from, behind all the noise. This presence is a more expansive idea than ourselves. We are called to allow this moment to be what it is, for life to be life. We let go of our fears and feel grateful for life.

The humble presence that allows everything to move is being bowed to for all time. It is the sacredness of life and now is an opportunity to give life back to life. Just for a moment, we release the resistance that is a fearful misunderstanding. So, we recognize an openness to understand and listen.

Tiger’s musings:

It is wise to recognize that our journey on this path is not our own choosing. It is natural for us to live the unreal but when we realize the futility in holding on to illusion, we humbly submit to a deeper truth.

There is a distinction between our life and life itself. When we say our life, it is a story about us, our past and future. They are ideas that are not actually happening but imagined. Life, on the other hand, is present and alive.

The human struggle is finding our life but through closer examination, it is simply a story or an interpretation of our own experiences that is impossible to articulate. To be really with other humans without their story, we see they are always beautiful. They are amazing to just be alive. Ironically, when they interrupt the story of our life, we believe it is a big problem. We are disturbed when our wants or expectations are not met.

Spirituality, then, helps us to a discovery to see all is one. The primary misunderstanding is believing there are two – life and our life. This mindset of two will always create a problem but life will always win in the competition. Our minds can project that life and our life are separate things.

So, the genuine invitation of spirituality is only speaking to the one who is listening. It is intimate in this way where it only speaks to the one.

We are invited then, to acknowledge that the real human failure is living up to what makes us anxious or fearful. It takes humility within us to make space for life to move rather than us, human beings, trying to get there. Embracing other people’s humanness is embracing our own.
