It is my birthright. (I see that phrase used in different contexts. What happens if I take it as true?)
- True?
Yes. Feels true. People tell me it is true. I tell myself it is true. - Sure?
No. It is just an opinion. - What happens when I believe that thought?
- Well, it is my birthright so I want it! I go into a demand. I feel entitled to it.
- If it doesn’t seem to happen, I wonder what is wrong with me. People tell me it is my birthright, but it doesn’t happen, so something must be wrong with me, or at the very least, I must be doing something wrong. Something is wrong somewhere.
- If it happens, I worry about losing it. It would be a tragedy to lose something that is my birthright. It wouldn’t be right, but I also know it can happen. Everything tells me that everything is in flux, after all.
- I see others who don’t seem to realize that it is their birthright, and who either don’t have it or have it and don’t seem to appreciate it, so I get upset. I want to tell them that they can have it, or that they should appreciate it. I experience a sense of separation to these people.
- Who would I be without it?
- Hm. More sense of space around it. I could still seek to find or develop it, but without the overlay of seeing it as a birthright. The demand would go out of it.
- More sense of receptivity and clarity.
- If someone says that something is my birthright, I would be more curious to see if it is here now, or rather - how it shows up here now. I wouldn’t see it as something in the future or past.
- Turnarounds.
- It is not my birthright.
- That feels more true. If it is not here, according to my story about it, then it is obviously not my birthright. At least not right now.
- Birthright or not is just a story, nothing inherent in the world.
- It is not my birthright.
