8.2115 The Critic voice and the horse hair shirt



One of mine was on the phone with me while I walked the dog , describing how a someone in a position of power shamed them in front of others , using irrelevant information. , just to ... get their rocks off? Make themselves look good on front of peers ? Who knows . 

They then had that experience we slide into. , their own Critic voice waking up , slamming them with untrue accusations. 

So after listening , I reminded them that this Critic voice is no more truly us... than so much other crap projected upon us by others or culture or circumstance .
So often it's like a horse hair shirt someone throws on our back, and ties round our neck.
Perceiving this , being angry and enraged ,returns us to ourselves. . Rescues us from the grip of fake repetitive self denigration , that has no place in our days or our nights . 

Feeling all this with awareness , and someone lovingly listening , unwinds the false crap, disintegrates the ties, and the whole piece of garbage falls by the wayside . Leaving us our true imperfect remarkable selves, once again .

Bottom line, no one and no learning ever requires or condones mean spirited treatment of others .

There are so many more honest honorable ways of communicating with effectiveness and integrity.
