Going Beyond The Image!

 

 

The desperate act of the 'Maintenance' of a good image of ourselves, all the time, often burying our original thoughts, just to project us as one of the best within our community and to the external world is perhaps one the main reasons for unhappiness.

Explains, Adyashanti, in his book "Falling into Grace: Insights on the End of Suffering."

I remember when I was studying psychology in college and one of the topics was the importance of a good, healthy self-image. 

I was fascinated by the subject, and one day it occurred to me: “Image? Good image, bad image, it’s just an  image!” 

I realized that what we were being taught was to go from having a negative image of ourselves to a good image of ourselves. 

Of course, if we’re going to stay in the realm of images, of believing that we’re an idea or an image, then it’s better to have a good image of ourselves than it is to have a negative image of ourselves. 

But if we’re beginning to look at the core and the root of suffering, we start to see that an image is just that: It’s an image. 

It’s an idea. A set of thoughts. It’s literally a product of imagination. It’s who we imagine ourselves to be. 

We end up putting so much attention onto our image that we remain in a continuous state of protecting or improving our image in order to control how others see us. 

So in effect, we are all walking around presenting an image to each other, and we’re relating to each other as images. 

Whoever we think somebody else is, it’s just an image we have in our mind. 

When we relate to each other from the standpoint of image, we’re not relating to who each other is, we’re just relating to our imagination of who each other is. 

Then we wonder why we don’t relate so well, why we get into arguments, and why we misunderstand each other so deeply.
