The metaphor of the bad singer

Have you heard of the popular saying: "He who sings, evil scares"? Perhaps this is true when it comes to a beautiful, tuneful and harmonious song. The kind that can enchant and inspire an audience. But the truth is that few people would be willing to put up with a bad singer.

However, there are many out-of-tune singers in the world. And there are still those who practice the infamy of drawing the attention of their listeners more than would be reasonable. Sometimes, we can't help but wonder how such singers can fail to realise what a sad and boring role they are playing. The funny thing is that sometimes, although everyone around them is frankly horrified, only the singer is in love with his own voice.

One might ask: what does this bad singer thing have to do with me?

The answer is that we all have a "psychological song. Which is expressed to a greater or lesser extent in each of us. But if we look closely at our words, our thoughts and emotions, we can discover which one is ours. However, we always see it in others, and it is more difficult to see it in ourselves.

So we all know someone who lives in the past. Their conversations generally revolve around one central preoccupation: their little book of psychological stories. In this booklet, a person takes note of all the debts that others owe him. There, he records the debts that father, mother, brother, son, neighbour, friend, boss, government, society and even life itself owe him.

But what kind of debts are these?

The debts are the wrong that he believes was done to him, his frustrations, an ingratitude, an envy of his neighbours. The recognition he never received, the injustices he thinks he experienced, his loneliness, etc. These are so many bad things that this singer had to go through, but he could never forget. And this stayed with him for the rest of his life. But this little account book that he keeps and consults all the time is the major inspiration for his songwriting. Therefore, it is common that in every conversation he sings his psychological song:

"Woe is me...", "nobody understands me...", "they never gave me what I needed, all I have to do for myself...", "they will still regret what they did to me", "one day they will prove me right, but it will be late...", etc., etc., etc., etc.

Psychological songs can be really complex. Some with introductions, verse, chorus, etc. Also, it can be an improvised solo. Then, a conversation, say, about the weather, can stop with your political indignations and later with your neighbour's dislike of you. This is possible, of course, at the expense of a lot of training, a lot of rehearsal. Because, by not being content to sing for others, the bad singer lives singing to himselfisolated in the lonely room of his mind.

A song entirely dedicated to himself

And that brings us to the heart of the matter: we all have a broken record inside us that always repeats itself with the same songs. In other words: with the same worries, grievances, regrets, debts, etc. It is these considerations that, in one way or another, produce our thoughts and guide the line of our reasoning. Moreover, if the tremendous damage they cause to our well-being and our lives were not enough, the origin and authenticity of these opinions are questionable.

All psychological songs are based on self-consideration.. That is to say, in the excessive love for oneself that makes us selfish and incapable of understanding life as it is. As well as to see the point of view of others and to feel the pain of others. Because we see everything through the lens of "Everything that was done to me".

Naturally, the fact that we cannot put ourselves in other people's shoes means that we have an unfair understanding of how they behave, speak or act. The result of this can only be to over-increase the record of debts in the personal ledger. And this only helps to further complicate the repertoire of songs we carry.
"First me, second me, third him..."

Watch your psychological song

To be concrete in the research: ¿You have observed yourself thinking something like this?

When I give someone advice and they don't take it, I think they have no judgement. Or that they don't trust me.

If a family member does not treat me the way I think I deserve, it is because he or she is unfair, a tyrant or an ungrateful person.

When a friend of mine disagrees with my opinion, I become indignant. And I conclude that I had made a mistake about him, which turned out to be a snake he can no longer count on.

If I don't work in the company I want or at my chosen university. Then I protest that the competition was unfair and that life did not give me all the opportunities I needed.

If my football team loses the match, I complain that the referee was bought. And if my political candidate was not elected, I say that the election was cheated.

If my children behave in a way I don't like, I say it's because they copy their playmates.

If I pet my dog and he turns his back on me and walks away, then I sigh with the conviction that no one cares about me anymore.

The consequences of the psychological song

These are all thoughts that arise from excessive self-regard. A person full of self-regard can be really complicated ...

"If someone lives from moment to moment, from moment to moment, suffering for what they owe him, for what they did to him, for the bitterness they caused him, always with the same song, nothing can grow inside him".. - Samael Aun Weor

A person who is continually carried away by these psychological songs, who does not observe them, who does not understand them, becomes a slave to them. And ultimately all that negativity inside him, which is growing more and more, attracts the same from outside. That's why it's interesting to looking at oneselfTo know how we function internally, to observe our own psychological song. Although sometimes we don't express it verbally, it is there deep inside, and it becomes the trigger of our actions, of our life. Because what we conceive in a thought and what we feel, is what crystallises in our world, in our surroundings.

It is possible to take control of our existence and change its course towards a life free of so many inner complications. In short, they complicate the world in which we move. But for that we need to know, to observe, to investigate, to dive inside ourselves, pay attention to our actions, thoughts and emotions.

That is why we invite you to get to know the precise techniques for it, taught by all the great sages who have existed on Earth. But for many, they remain just nice phrases. Therefore, we invite you to make them yours, not by owning them, but by practising them. For that is the way that the knowledge is true and not vain theories.
