some thoughts

[Guest guest]

A primary cause of suffering is the inability to forgive and to love

ourselves, we draw experiences to ourselves in an effort at redemption.

A Most important lesson of Karma /life is that punishment is not

essential or needed at all, it is harmful to self. Judge not applies to

self. IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO BE PUNISHED OR TO PUNISH YOURSELF. .

 

We can choose to expiate negative Karma by making positive causes for

ourselves and just by being kind and loving and working and playing

at becoming wise .

 

It is important to recognize our feelings about our painful

experiences, it is even more important to FEEL our feelings, much

ongoing pain is because we have attempted not to feel the pain and

anger. When we have felt the pain, the anger, the hurt, perhaps the

pride in our differentness and suffering then we can let it go. LET

IT GO. Feel it and release it and move on . Talk to yourself as you were

at the time the pain occurred and let yourself know that you have

survived, bring yourself forward to be whole and healed.

 

When you forgive you are not required to block your

memories and pretend that the injuries never happened. What the act of

forgiving and releasing within yourself does is to dissolve the cords

that keep you in that energy of suffering, hooked to the past and

dragging it along with you.

However deeply a person has buried the diamond light of divinity in mud

it is within them as it is withinyou and to recognize that light within

yourself and within those who have hurt you is to free yourself from

the need to repeat this experience. The only genuine and beneficial

revenge is in becoming truly happy.

 

If you cannot forgive that is fine, can you work at wanting to forgive?

and in that I do not mean making it O.K.but making it have no energy in

your life and not being an issue to you anymore. Become alive and

glorious and full of joy in the life that you have now. whatever has

happened in the past you have survived you have triumphed in that you

are Alive and Free now . When you recall a moment of pain from the past

mentally return in your Present body to that moment and tell the person

that you were then that you have survived .and that it is time for that

part of you to come forward into the present and rejoin the whole. See

your current world from that persons viewpoint and realize what wonders

you have now.

 

When you have released the energies that hold you in the pain you will

be free of that relationship. and filled with compassion for those

people who have not yet found peace.

 

I do not mean to say that you must Forgive and love

unconditionally those who have hurt and harmed you . it would be nice if

we could acknowledge that deep inside they may have the potential for

enlightenment even if we can not see it.

 

What I am saying is that any wound that is being continually reopened

and picked on will not heal and will become putrid and infected. You

owe it to yourself to work on healing your wounds. A spiritual gangrene

of the heart will destroy you as effectively as gangrene of the body

destroys the flesh. This does apply to these emotional abuse wounds as

well as to all others.

 

Unconditional Love starts with loving the self. Happiness begins with

appreciation I mean appreciating what you have and know now. Looking for

the joy of the moments passing now reaching out for moments of joy and

pleasure.As long as you are alive life can get better but you have to

make that happen by your own energy. AS long as we define ourselves in

terms of our past suffering we remain in pain in the present.

 

One of the things I have learned is that there is always someone who's

life makes your hard times look like heaven . And that there are always

ways to find the joy and exact as in the mere fact of being alive if you

look for it. That life all life any life is precious and beautiful and

yes we chose the life we have tortured, abused, starved ,neglected

,whatever, as preferable to not having a life and body at all .

 

We are here because we wanted to be. We won the spiritual lottery in

order to get here now and take part in these glorious times of

transformation we incarnate beings are the few the proud the

lucky,whatever the outward appearance of our lives may be .Whatever has

happened in the past. Whatever the past pain we need to get on with our

own lives now.

This is an affirmation I use

I am responsible for creating my own happiness. I am in charge of how

I live and feel Now.
