Why do I never remember anyone advising us to allow the pain and suffering to burn us up? All the karma or negative energy, or desires good or bad, memories, attachments to energetic patterns of behavior that just don't work, allowing all of this to burn within the pain. Sometimes I feel dull, asleep, deadened. Is this because I have been so completely "burned up?" Or does it denote I am not awake? How does one tell?
"Is your life working and bringing you joy and fulfillment?" Sure, sometimes.
"Is your life full of anxiety and potential disaster?" Sure, sometimes.
How much patience do you have? More all the time. Took four hours to find car insurance yesterday, but I never got angry or lost my belief that something would work out, I would be led to the right person and company eventually.
How generous are you with your talents and money? I feel I am very generous now but can and plan to become even more so. I want to give massage sessions by donation only. Massage comes from the heart. The true source of our emotional intelligence.
I cannot ever "pretend" I am not in pain, heart-broken, or desiring revenge. These are emotions I honestly admit to experiencing. They are always feelings which cause me to feel suffering.... now, there is a purpose for this process. Perhaps I can even learn to benefit from its consequences. I do feel more accepting and more flexible. Still, painful episodes will happen. Thanks for the perspective of a hopeful and productive outcome.
