Had an argument with my best friend yesterday. I commented on something spontaneously, that probably I should not. But he did a full scale personal attack in reply. I felt off yesterday but it was brewing so deep, there was no point to address this yet. Woken up this morning and I felt that my ego had really shook at the foundation: on the surface and deep down. I know that it was cause by my friend attacking the part of my ego I like and that the attachment to this caused the pain. I tried to work on it the entire morning, all the techniques etc, being present, meditation, trying to let go, then trying to focus on it, intensyfikacji the feeling, trying to dissolve it. It was very uncomfortable having this feeling in me. Then I just stopped fighting it and I left it alone. A few hours later it dissolved and almost passed on its own. My question is: how do you deal with situations like this. Is it better to try to use techniques to deal with it or let it sit and it may resolve itself? Or thing like this, unresolved will just sink deeper into unconscious and do some dirty work?

Sometimes, when we turn inward and let the mind fall silent, something deeper begins to reveal itself. A remembrance. A knowing without words. A glimpse of the truth that the material world can only imitate, but never contain. This is a reflection on that sacred inner movement —from the finite into the Infinite. The mirror reflections and the deepening of perception lead both toward the direction of the macrocosm and toward the microcosm of the material world. They merge into one another in such a way that, for the human being who observes from within the system, there arises the sensation of an endless similarity between the part and the whole. Yet these sensations are illusory, for matter is temporary and limited in its manifestation. The true eternity for a human being is hidden only within the Soul — within that infinitely small which has access to the infinitely great, and which, at their intersections, forms the realms of mutual attraction and merging. This is the true infinite similarity of the part with the whole.

Free will, do we have it? A little bit? On micro level? Marco level? At all? Can our free will change our life on a big scale?
