Living With Your Negatives
Part 2
by Asoka Selvarajah, Ph.D

Page: 1 2

We need the heavenly "Salvation" that comes from above, and which is effectively a "new birth". However, even this only comes into effect in full force when the old body is shed off and the new spiritual body taken on. Buddhism talks about achieving "Enlightenment", which is an analogous concept, but which is tied in more to liberation from ignorance, delusion, and the shackles of the Flesh.

Hence, if you think you are going to solve ALL your personality issues overnight by listening to a twenty minute self-hypnosis tape, or by doing some affirmations... Well, it's unlikely to happen.

However, that does not mean to say that personal growth is a waste of time. You ARE supposed to accentuate the positive. Just don't focus on any perceived lack of progress with the negative, or get frustrated with its continued presence. Use "moving towards" motivation, i.e. moving TOWARDS what you want, rather than "moving away from" motivation, i.e. trying to avoid and deny what you do NOT want.

Whatever you focus your mind upon has a tendency to grow in power. Hence, focusing on your negativities has a tendency to make them stronger. Focus rather upon what you wish to increase in your life, and let the negative side of your personality find its own place. In other words, make friends with it a bit, rather than treat it as an enemy. Regard it rather as you would an aching limb. You don't hate it just because it aches!

Statistics show that optimistic people actually have a lower risk of heart disease than pessimistic people. Hence, even from a purely pragmatic health perspective, it IS better to be positive than negative in mental outlook! No doubt about it.

Nevertheless, total liberation from the negative side of our personalities does not come without a total spiritual rebirth. This is not a matter of a few months or years of toil. Maybe it will take countless lifetimes for most people, as the Buddhists believe to be the case.

You do well to remember the Eastern perspective of Yin and Yang - the teaching that dark and light are inextricably interwoven and inseparable in this cosmos. That applies within our minds too. To try to separate one from the other, using standard psychological tools, is a pretty hopeless task.

Only a new creation, entirely other than this world, can ever reconciles this paradox and live in harmony with it. That is the goal of the spiritual path. So, until then, be easy on yourself. Celebrate every advance, but don't let any apparent negative personality aspects get you down.
