seems like shame is the experience of being separate βfrom god ββfrom ones' parents βββfrom ones' peers ββββfrom the universe and the sense of wrongness/mistake about that (which can feel like "I fucked up" or "the universe is wrong")
I have a sense that the implications of this are complex and that I don't grasp them yet but one thing that it seems to mean is that, in the same way fear implies a solution/action: get away. hide. shame implies a solution/action: reconnect. unseparate.
inspired by re-reading Genesis Genesis 2:25: Now the man and the woman were naked, but they did not feel any shame." πππ€―π =the Fall Genesis 3:10: He answered, βI heard you walking in the garden and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid myself.β https://t.co/CZ6IyCkcsc
also introspectively, for me at least, it seems that a huge part of shame is an experience of confusion: ββwhy am I separate? <not in words> βββββββwhat I did made sense! I'm learning! βββββwhy is it possible for me to make such a mistake that I deserve to be punished?
although actually this whole thread needs some rethinking since I spotted Original Spin shame is powered by disowning that your own pain matters (and it starts when your caregivers tell you your own pain is a problem you ARE, not a problem you HAVE) https://t.co/jBo9SFxbXI
but also! part of how me & @Morphenius noticed Original Spin was noticing that if the pain is NOT being separate from god/universe (because nonduality) then what IS the pain?? oh, it's from eg a time your caregiver made your problem a social problem https://t.co/Ms0z2QbtuZ
