PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, February 7th, 2012 by Don Miguel Ruiz in THE VOICE OF KNOWLEDGE
"Why do people abuse us? Because we allow them to abuse us, because in our judgment we believe we deserve to be abused. But if we go a little deeper, we see that we abuse ourselves far more than anybody else abuses us. We can blame other people who hurt us and say, "I grew up being abused," and we can make many excuses. But in the present moment, who is abusing you? If you are truthful, you find that mostly it's your own voice of knowledge.
Every time we lie to ourselves, we abuse ourselves. Every time we curse ourselves, we abuse ourselves. Every time we judge ourselves, every time we reject ourselves, of course we have an emotional reaction, and it isn't pleasant! Again, if we don’t like the emotional reaction, it's not about repressing what we feel; it's about cleaning up the lies that cause the emotional reaction."
Don Miguel Ruiz, in "The Voice of Knowledge"
