Embarking On The Path To Self Realization

By Carolyn Olson


Every individual undergoes various phases of emotions in their lifetime, often becoming fixated on their current state of mind. When a person is sad, they tend to focus on depressive or negative thoughts. There are ways to get relief from such emotional turmoil such as the path to self realization, which helps one to attain inner peace and happiness, while still fulfilling their worldly responsibilities.

Beyond common activities of working, cooking and minding a household, one must consider the actual purpose of a human life. The point is to find a pure internal happiness through love, truth, peach, freedom and beauty. Perhaps the first step is to understand the value of one's very existence and that emotional control is an essential part of the journey.

It is part of human nature to want to be happy and not dissatisfied with oneself. When an individual is capable of considering each day of their life as a gift, they seek to displace all sadness with positive thoughts and feelings. This struggle is an ongoing cycle as the happiness must eventually give way to more melancholy which will again be removed by euphoria, and thus the circle continues.

Emotions are a constant flux of hormones, which often result in unconscious changes in moods and behaviors. Many people seek to control these naturally occurring chemical reactions by repressing them, which can result in stress, depression or outbursts of anger, sadness, laughter or confusion. A more effective way to manage these issues is by embarking on a journey of understanding why one experiences such feelings,

The reason most people choose to seek personal acceptance of themselves on a deeply spiritual level is because it will help them face obstacles with calm objectiveness. A person may tend to contemplate impossible issues like how vast the universe is and how they fit in it, where everything started, and the purpose of living. To begin the journey, it is necessary to clear all unknowns from the mind and to just accept what is known at that very moment.

A person must understand that many things are designed only to be left alone to the universe and not to be comprehended by the limited human intellectual capabilities. The five senses man is given are used just to process the input of tangible factors, things in which one might become materialistically involved. The only way to have pure knowledge and freedom is to not worry about what once was, or what may one day be, but to be concerned with just the here and now.

It is also important to understand that life is a series of oppositions that even each other out. One can not know true happiness without experiencing some sadness, and there can be no concept of good unless there is also one of bad. Looking at all opposites as integral parts of life, embracing and living each as an accepted step in the journey without extreme emotion, is the key to realizing the whole of oneself.

Inner peach can be achieved by taking a number of different paths. Some may choose worship, while others might opt for meditation or changing, all of which are designed to train one to focus their mind and go inside themselves. This allows a person to concentrate on the root of an emotion, thereby controlling it and becoming knowledgeable.
