Let’s Let Go

Here is a personal experience about processing limiting beliefs:

When I saw someone got promoted within the division, I got angry.  Although I don’t know him, I know he got promoted twice within two years while I had to fight with my boss to get my promotion one year ago. In the past year, I labot days and nights during two months to support the divison manager. I was only the person who can provide the support during the period of difficult time. The division manager knows without me she might not be able to survive the crisis and yet she continued to ignore me and refused to give me proper reward. 

Now after learning Sedona method, at least this time I am aware that I need to let go and release all of this crap. But after several tries, I found only thing I can do is to forget it. But this really doesn’t solve the problem. It just goes underground and it will surface again like many times before. I tried to let go, but how can I do that? How unfair is it? Suddenly, I found the essence of letting go. I looked at myself and there are so many underlying subconscious tendencies/limiting beliefs are providing the resistence. For example, why you want to get promoted? Ah, because your ego likes the title. The ego likes to glorify himself. This is a wanting approval. It is a false belief.

You say you worked harder than he did and it is unfair not to promote me. Is this true? You don’t even know his work. Then you have suspicion that the division manager always has preferential treatment toward some group of people. Again, is this true? No way you can prove it. Then you give out another argument saying the divisio manager doesn’t like me. Again no way to know if this is true. Moreover, why I need her likes? Why you need to be validated by her? 

Another thing about promotion. One day, my manager told me "everyone want to be a manger." Although I didn’t respond, I agreed silently. Interesting! Interesting! Interesting! You can see how prevalent false beliefs are! Even everyone agree on false beliefs. Use them to communicate and in turn interactions re-enforce the false beliefs.

Finley says that we "don’t need strength to let go of something. What you really need is understanding; and that’s how this book will help you accomplish your lifelong dreams of being truly strong and independent." He explains that our inner selves are like hot air balloons, always trying to soar, and we hold them down by not letting go of the "angry attitudes, wasteful wishes, [and] harmful habits" that offer false promises of strength.

Suden or Gradual Enlightenment

From Wiki:

"My Guru ordered me to attend to the sense ‘I am’ and to give attention to nothing else. I just obeyed. I did not follow any particular course of breathing, or meditation, or study of scriptures. Whatever happened, I would turn away my attention from it and remain with the sense ‘I am’. It may look too simple, even crude. My only reason for doing it was that my Guru told me so. Yet it worked!"

Following his guru’s instructions to concentrate on the feeling "I Am", he utilized all his spare time looking at himself in silence, and remained in that state for the coming years, practising meditation and singing devotional bhajans 

From Wiki:

"He taught that there is a way out of suffering, and advocated self-honesty, persistence, the study and application of spiritual principles, and a sincere desire for inner change. He explained that a new and higher inner life is found through releasing the negative conditioned ego, which he described as the "false self". He claimed that this new life can only be found through awareness, and that the human ego is a barrier to this awareness. Thus, he advocated that inner liberation was a ridding process. He taught that the false self was fictitious, a collection of self-images or pictures about who we think we are."
