Ok, so sometimes things don't work out the way you want them too and the situation isn't what you have wished it to be. What are you going to do, lock yourself in your room and cry about it? Are you going to give up and never try to do anything again? Are you going to stop living and hide your head under your pillow for days? As odd as these idea's may sound to some of you, many people take these kinds of actions and are perfectly OK with taking a extreme amounts of time to grieve their losses, without effort to get happy.
When I counsel people and have them take an inventory of their life. Usually they give themselves an extended period of time in which they can enjoy themselves again. This is particularly prevalent in traumatic events and life changing happenings. How many times have you heard someone count off the years it has been since their heart surgery, death of a loved one or car accident? Even if the years that have passed are in double digits.
In “15 days to a beautiful life” I talk in great depth about the Crucifixion – Resurrection process. In which I explain that we are constantly going through this process every time we make a change for the better. This is especially true when there is something that happens in our life that is particularly tragic. One can do only one of two things make a change for the better or the worse. There is great value in this roller coaster because through contrast desire is born and if you’re wondering why desire is so important see my prior blog (Pack Your Bags, We're Moving).
So, let’s take for example what seems for many to be the worst possible scenario, the death of a loved one. Let’s suspend the fact that it is not actually possible to die because nothing can cease to be only become transformed and change. I know that for many it has been drilled in your subconscious that there is some sort of wacked out people’s court waiting for you with contradictory and asinine rules which you will be judged on. I can tell you why this cannot be but it is not my place so look with-in and find out. That being said I digress for the purpose of this Essay.
When someone one experiences the death of a loved one of course you miss them, of course you want them there. So let us dissect this situation, is there any logical reason for someone to be in a state of misery for any extended amount of time for the loss of someone in which you cannot bring back. If you find yourself in a state of misery, keep reaching for the better feeling thoughts until you get back to a new perspective of happiness. That being said you must also be patient with yourself and as long as you’re making effort in going towards the divine right of happiness the universe will take 1,000 steps towards you. When you accomplish the climbing of this emotional ladder, you will emerge better than you were before because you have managed to get control of your energy and ultimately your creations. This is an example of the Crucifixion – Resurrection process and a great example of how you can yield the mighty experience paint brush called the mind.
Holding yourself hostage until enough time has passed and the guilt subsides so that you can enjoy life is only going to weaken you and bring negative emotions into habit. Not to mention the amount of bad situations you will attract to yourself by holding these negative thoughts. It would serve you and your loved one much better to think of the person and smile, if you really want to see them close your eyes and go see them in mind and spirit. Focus on what that person has given you and be grateful for having known them and stop focusing on the death of that person. Their physical death does not define their life. This mentality sound familiar??? It is deep routed in the basis of dogmatic principle and considering that the mind is extremely impressionable before the age of 13 it will take some time for those who are raised into that mentality to remove this theology but it can be done if you desire to do so.
There is great purpose in leaving this physical plane to start a new and one day we will all wake up from this dream called physical reality and see what is truly real. We have done this countless times before and rest easy in the fact that you will do this countless times again. Take a step back from this earthly perspective because when you do, you can see the truth. Dare to see the Universe from the eyes of the divine and see the purpose in everything, because you are everything and everything is you.
If what I write draws emotion in you, I am grateful I wish for you to look for these answers but not in my words. I ask you to look for these answers in the only place you can ….. INSIDE!!!!! Walk the path of the inner self and know. You are your own temple, preacher and student!
