For the past few weeks especially I have been wondering about what the feeling of doubt actually is. I got an answer in my meditation this evening, and after the meditation also had the realization that it was connected to duality somehow.
So, I’ve been asking what is doubt. Why is it so prevalent? Why do people who others would think couldn’t possibly have doubts, people who are well respected in their fields, people who could do their work with their eyes closed, still experience it, even if only occasionally?
The answer I got in my meditation is that doubt is a lack of connection with your Inner Being, with your heart, with your True Self.
Intrinsically, we know that we should be sure, the type of sureness that comes when you’re in flow with your True Self, with your true desires.
When that connection is lacking, we have no sure footing. That’s what the feeling of doubt is.
That’s why it doesn’t matter how knowledgeable you are. If you don’t have that connection with your True Self, for whatever reason, that very lack of connection is the feeling we call doubt.
Nothing else matters.
So, how is this connected to duality?
Making our way in this reality, the way many of our societies and cultures are pulls us out of this alignment or connection with our True Self.
Duality is yes-no, right-wrong, left-right. Duality is one extreme or the other, this but not that, while our True Self exists always in the centre. Our True Self exists in wholeness.
Ready for when we come back home.
