For me

Recommendation – How to read the words in the New Dictionary:

A word is a vessel through which essence, energy passes. The word is never the thing itself.

What is the real “thing”? It is good to answer this question in silence.

Therefore the invitation to this dictionary is “tricky”; it seems like it tries to replace one “definition” with another “definition” but it does not. This dictionary is an opportunity to look at a word from a different perspective than we are used to. And ask what is the essence of this word, coming from the mystery? From nature? From the inconceivable knowing that everything is one, everything is motion and I am a part of it?
From here you will find that the new “definition” sometimes sounds poetic or even irritating to the mind, because it cannot understand it. It’s OK. Let the words be a tool and listen to the energy that passes through them. That’s exactly what we came here to do.

Coming out of the knowing that everything is connected and everything is in motion:

For me is exactly what is happening. It is whatever is showing up in my life right now. It’s what I am being asked to face, what I am being asked to do, even if it does not feel right to me, even if I would not have chosen to do it, even if I’m not certain that I will succeed or that I am even capable of doing it.

For me means that what is happening now is a gateway. It is a door that may be opened. For me means that what is here is an invitation to see the truth more clearly. For me means that what is happening is happening so that I can emerge from the stories and confusion that have existed inside of me for so many years – that have blinded me and misled me from seeing things as they are.

The reality created: Instead of arguing, instead of trying hard to achieve something or prevent something else, I surrender. I give myself over to what is now. I melt into what is here now, with who is here now, and then – free of argument – I am able to listen to the silence that is speaking, to the wisdom that is showing itself only to those who are softly asking for it.

“It suddenly seems to me that, except for when I am dancing, nothing that I do, want or think is mine or for me.”

We got used to thinking that

For me means that everything is considered in relation to me. It means that there is me and there is mine, and there is another and there is his. It means that what is mine can be taken from me and what is his is forbidden to me. It means that what is for me is good for me and for my own safety might not necessarily be good for him. It might even hurt him.

The reality created: There is fear. The possibility that something will be taken from me is real and it is palpable. Another person becomes a potential danger or exists only as a means for obtaining more of that which is rightfully mine. And I therefore cannot even allow myself to do something for him because the pressure is constantly rising and it is too real. The vulnerability is tangible and the uncertainty is frightening. Eventually, I only care for myself, and he only cares for himself.
