Transcending Approval Seeking

4 posts in this topic

Is it possible to transcend approval seeking without having to seek more approval, through meditation, contemplation or something the letting go technique when you feel like you need it in a neurotic way, especially sexual approval or approval in terms of fame from personal talent etc.?

Letting go of the human desire for approval and aversion to disapproval is very difficult, as long as your conditioned mind is at the helm. When you wake up, simply being present begins to dissolve all of these attachments. It takes time, but we have all the time there is, which is nothing :) 


Just because God loves you doesn't mean it is going to shape the cosmos to suit you. God loves you so much that it will shape you to suit the cosmos.

Rather than trying to transcend, simply notice the identification taking place with these conditioned patterns of thought.

'You' are not conditioned thoughts!!

No need to identity as the body's conditioned way of thinking.
