We see ourselves and the world around us through our "eyes;" I don't mean literally our sense of sight, but rather the eyes of our mind. Everything we experience is filtered by the mind before it goes to the brain and is acted upon.
The question is: is it through the eyes of your ego-mind or the eyes of your true Buddha self, the child of the Universe within you?
Most of us view ourselves and the world through the eyes of our ego-mind, which is to say through the filter of all of our emotions, fears, anxieties, judgment, perspectives. This is why we suffer; we are not able to see ourselves or the world around us as they really are free of any of our attitudes, free of the conditioning that has come from our life experiences.
That is why I always say that the only way to experience peace and happiness is to free oneself from the control of your ego-mind. Only when you can see yourself and the world around you free of those emotions and judgments are you able to accept/understand that things are the way they are because it's just the way it is. and so be at peace. You are not a victim, it's not really about you, it's just the way things are at this moment.
When you see things through the eyes of your true Buddha self, the child of the Universe within you, you are filled with unconditional love for yourself and radiate that love, and so are a light unto yourself and all others. This changes the direction of your energy flow at its most basic; rather than being impacted by all the negative energy out there, you are sending out positive energy creating a forcefield around you.
This requires a very clear intent on your part. As part of my daily prayer/meditation, I ask the Lord to support me in my intent to experience all things with dispassion, free of fear and anxiety, And I invite him into my subconscious, to be my subconscious, and so I open up my eyes and see myself and the world around me through the eyes of my true Buddha self, my unwounded, pre-trauma heart, filled with positive energy and joy, the neutrality of my senses (the equanimity of my third eye), free of worries and concerns, full of faith and strength, light and love.
This intent is the necessary starting point for your spiritual journey. For without that intent, your life will not change, your suffering will not cease. I wrote a post once, "Do You Really Want To Be at Peace and Content?" because you have to realize what that entails, and you must have the intent to change your life and your mind accordingly.
