How do you maintain your impeccability?
    #5233883 -

Didnt want to derail the other Castaneda thread, but it sparked another thought on it's own.

Quote:
The spirit of a warrior is not geared to indulging and complaining, nor is it geared to winning or losing. The spirit of a warrior is geared only to struggle, and every struggle is a warrior's last battle on earth. Thus the outcome matters very little to him. In his last battle on earth a warrior lets his spirit flow free and clear. And as he wages his battle, knowing that his intent is impeccable, a warrior laughs and laughs.


When I havent gotten much sleep, or just fatigue gets the best of me, my thoughts become scrambled, and Im not able to express myself clearly. I feel weak, irritable, and low in spirit. On the other hand, when I got up early with plenty of sleep, went jogging in a forest in the morning or swimming, I feel replenished and full of energy the entire day. But my, and Im sure others' schedule doesnt always allow us the time to do that every single day. Or sometimes we're just tired for no apparent reason, wake up brain scattered even though we feel like we did everything right. I dont feel 'impeccable' when Im not at my best, when Im tired I feel absent minded and irritable.

How do you maintain your energy and impeccability when you just feel physically weak?

its amazing what a little physical activity can do.. if you go on a run through the woods you can be trailin for hours just workin up a sweat and visiting mother nature, it is very cleansing.
when we put physical exertion on our bodies, our body feels weak and tired, but when the mind over rides that pain both the body and mind strengthen.

also maintain impeccability with music..

take refuge in the idea of impeccable mind
take refuge in what is happenning
take refuge in those who walk this same path as lights on earth

the dark nights are healing places

Some indulge in being tired and succumb to weakness, others refuse to do so and are always at peak performance, never having a bad day. But what's their secret?

For me, the difference lies in not taking it personally.

My physical well-being fluctuates. Some days I feel overtired, in pain, sick, tense, etc... If I take this personally, and think "I am tired, sick, in pain" (vs. "I feel..."), it affects my emotional state.

If I manage to accept the circumstance of being physically unwell in some way, and remember that it is a passing state, my mood is unaffected.

Ive never met a single soul who has NEVER had a bad day. Sure living healthy will cut back on them, but there are days when your hungover, days when your body might be fighting off infection, allergies, theres days when you work yourself 12 hours of HARD maunuel labor(tho I must admit that first beer after work will FUCK you up man).

IF you are happy all the time, are you really happy? How do you know? What can you compare it too? life is about ups and downs, and you have to have the downs to know when your up. peace

the bad day and the dark night of the soul are what wakes you up in the first place.

I can't remember who said this, but I love this quote:

"There is no 'dark night of the soul,' only the dark night of the ego."

It is the neurotic tendencies of our ego which insist that, in order to feel OK emotionally, we must have things our way. This is bullshit, IMO.

I know from my own experiments in non-neurotic living that it is entirely possible to be happy and enjoy my life when the details of it are not at all to my liking. Yes, this is more challenging when I am sick or in pain, but it is far from impossible or superhuman.

I can choose to take on this challenge, to swim through the white water of my own neurosis, or I can decide to be defeated by it. Either way, it is my choice.

Taking 10 minutes at the end of the day to 'peace the hell out', all by yourself, quietly putting everything in perspective until all the pieces fall into place.

And/or drugs.

I have never managed to be impeccable. Except in the sense of accepting my flawed self as I am. I'm getting better at that as time goes on.
