This is attempt number 6 or 7 to write this post. I was completely stopped. I would get five words down and stare at the screen. Sigh. So, I want to be able to hand out free tickets to life. And I can't. No one can. I was stuck, stuck, stuck in the "doing" mode and that will grind me to a painful stop every single time.
Back to "being." Oh, my! I just found the other cork in my bottle about this post! I'm pissed! I have peeled it back enough to realize that I am not pissed at people, just at a common attitude. Read the rest of this with that in mind.
Suffering is optional, people. And it costs a lot of emotional and physical energy to have that heaping helping of suffering along with the circumstances in your life. If you musts suffer, do it in silence. STOP trying to get everyone else to buy into your suffering. Here, have two cups of pity for your suffering. Now get the hell off it. No awards for drama queens and kings. Have some cheese with that whine.
There are events that scare us, thrill us, cause happiness and sadness. We feel sorrow, love, joy, lust and anger. Lots of emotions to feel and enjoy.
Suffering, on the other hand, isn't an emotion. It's a reaction to the fiction we create about some circumstance in our life. We create suffering for ourselves. We tell ourselves some pity story, then we treat it like the truth. CRAPPOLA. It's all a fucking lie. Stop believing it.
STOP BEING RUN BY THE CIRCUMSTANCES IN YOUR LIFE.
Everyone has a computer in the back of our minds. It's purpose is to protect us from pain -- physical and emotional. It remembers every event that ended in pain. That computer is doing a constant query on the pain database and comparing the results with the current situation. And it is talking to us constantly. If tells us how to look good in every situation. It isn't interested at looking into the future, either. It is only concerned with current trauma.
Because of that, it is stealing the future from us.
But the damn program that's running is buggy. Each and every time it tries to protect us from pain, it just increases it. It disconnects us from humanity. It causes us to not trust anyone. To resent those who love us the most. And it cranks up the drama. and it's all a lie.
The key, of course, is to be responsible for how we are being in the world. Bad news, eh? We create the suffering, blame it on someone else then suffer that they caused our suffering. yeah, right!
Love (cause I'm always love),
Love and Light
