29. Act as if……………
My younger son is afraid of entering in a dark room
alone, unless there is light or some one accompanying him he will not enter in
to the dark room. The other day he said, “Papa I am selected to act in a drama ”
Alexander the Great and I want to rehearse my dialogues in front of you”. "ok,start ' I said.After few minutes he missed one line and required his notebook, where in the dialogues
were written. “Go, get it” I said, he went in the room and get his notebook.
“How come you are not afraid, while bringing this note
book ?.” I asked.
“Well,” he replied “you know, I am Alexander the Great,
right now.”
I liked this idea so much
that. I started using it for my own practice to preserve bliss all through the
day.
Acting as if you were so and so…….. Or acting as if you
are in your best form, acting as if you are on top of the world, all these will
relieve your pain immediately. What you do here is deny your routine negative
thought, any entry in to our brain by saying” “I am different.” Acting as if
you are a child and have profound joy and bliss will shift your focus from the existing
problems. Knowing well, your are only acting and that, you can get back to your
stress and bad moods as and when they resurface will give you free access to true
bliss.
It is however, to be noted here that, acting as if should
not be harmful to anybody else, or it should not violate general law of land
and ethic. Acting as if you are king of kings does not mean, you can kick any
body walking on the road. It is used only to control and tame your inner monster
and not for any other purpose.
Start with only fifteen minutes “Acting as if…….” Session
and you can increase up to one hour a day. A ward of caution has……” Acting as
if…….” Does not mean you have to drop all work that you are supposed to do as
per your duties and only act. Believe and feel intensely “As if……..” and do
your duties as usual.
Act now, act as if……………and feel like a king.
