I think people look at life all wrong.
First of all, the very BASIS of our outlook is biased incorrectly. The general rule of thumb that is seemingly UNIVERSALLY accepted and never challenged, is, in my experience, completely wrong. We spend all our energy trying to fight the most basic aspect of life and yet we never stop to consider that what we are actually fighting against....may be the essence of life itself. What do I mean? Well for starters, life IS pain. We all do our best to experience the best in life while simultaneously attempting to escape the unpleasant aspects of it. However, the reality is that without pain there simply IS NO LIFE. What's more, pain isn't your enemy. Pain is your closest ally. Pain lets you know that you are still alive and kicking. Pain lets you know when there is something wrong, be it physically, with your body, or emotionally in your heart. Yet we all dread the onset of pain because it is universally recognized to be a harbinger of scary change, but change is unavoidable. The ONLY thing in our lives that we can absolutely count on being a constant.......IS change. So to brace yourself AGAINST pain is silly. Inadvisable. Untenable. Impractical.
Experiencing pain is after all, unavoidable. If the universe suspects that you might be getting too comfortable, pain WILL FIND YOU. You cannot dodge or hide from pain. You cannot insulate yourself from pain with money. If you don't deal with the lessons of pain the Universe gives to you then chances are that you will be required to experience the SAME pain in different circumstances until you respond to the pain in the manner that the Universe or your Spirit Guide or guardian Angel desires. The Universe gives you style points for dealing with pain well, and rewards you with....you guessed it, stronger more virulent PAIN. If you manage to become immune to the pain the Universe will bless you with a chronic condition. If you succeed in handling that you will receive an emotionally wrecking event. If you progress past this then the Universe will continue to hurl random combinations at you until you actually are, unstoppable. This is how life works. We are basically tortured into invincibility. Remember this the next time that you feel that you were treated unfairly, or when you think you have been singled out with problems.
Earth school is about having your soul flexed to the breaking point and then flexed some more. The biggest secret in plain sight is that there simply is no escape. You may convolute your life with wealth and power, sex, drugs, and all manner of seemingly insulating excess, but pain WILL FIND YOU. Eventually you will learn to embrace the pain, which is what is expected of you. The thing is, what will you ALLOW the pain you experience to drive you to do? THIS is the essence of the test. Will you allow the pain, YOUR pain, to bleed into another persons life? This is a sign of weakness. Strength is demonstrating the act of shouldering that pain and moving forward not ALLOWING that pain to escape you. Being a cage for that pain and destroying it by taking steps to either resolve it, or carrying it to your grave to ensure it cannot hurt anyone else while simultaneously negating its effects on you, your life, and your relationships to others...
If you allow the pain to make you hurt someone else, the pain has taken you over, and now YOU are the pain. (Sorry head choppers, you're screwed).
The goal in life is to walk through this garden of Eden learning how to enjoy the experiences it offers while maintaining the theme park. This means caring for the life on this planet while doing our best to leave this world better than we found it. Regardless of what others do the responsibility for each of us is what we consciously contribute. No matter what condition Eden is in, we must work to repair what we have destroyed. This is the test of time. This is the lesson for our souls and the key to our spiritual evolution.
Now, I have used MY Pain to attempt to alleviate some of YOURS. This is because I am an unstoppable warrior against pain, and I make pain my bitch. Now you see how you ALSO, can do that.
