I鈥檇 love some feedback and ideas, and that鈥檚 the purpose of this post.
Context
For the past 3 months I鈥檝e been working on a translation of the I Ching, the ancient Book of Changes.
Each week I work on one of the 64 sections of the text, with daily translation and contemplation/embodiment of the commentaries contained within each section.
It鈥檚 been an interesting experience, and has heightened my understanding of ancient Chinese Philosophy and improved my skills at reading ancient Chinese.
Mistrust
Today鈥檚 meditation has been challenging, in that I鈥檝e been forced to contemplate the moments in my life where a sense of insecurity has led me to withdraw from other people.
I realise that this is the first time that I鈥檝e considered this aspect of my life, my attention has never really be drawn to it before.
And I admit to feeling somewhat perturbed by it. It鈥檚 one of those things where you realise there have been moments in the past where you鈥檝e really fucked up and treated others poorly.
So my question is:
How do you deal with insecurities?
Do you ignore them?
Do you explore their root?
Do you suppress the feeling and soldier on?
Do you talk about it, if so with whom?
What do you do? I鈥檇 love it if you could share something about your experiences in the comments.
Thanks in advance,
