Life
"We all carry around with us a huge reservoir of accumulated negative feelings, attitude and beliefs. The accumulated pressure makes us miserable and is the basis of many of our illnesses and problems. We are resigned to it and explain it away as the ‘human condition.’ We seek to escape it in myriad ways. The average human life is spent trying to avoid and run from the inner turmoil of fear and the threat of misery. Everyone’s self-esteem is constantly threatened both from within and without. If we take a look at human life, we see that it is essentially one long elaborate struggle to escape our inner fears"....Dr. David R. Hawkins
The truth is that life can be very challenging! Fortunately, we now have a choice: instead of trying to avoid and run from our inner turmoil of fear and threat of misery, we can now let it go!
"Letting go involves being aware of a feeling, letting it come up, staying with it, and letting it run its course without wanting to make it different or doing anything about it. When letting go, ignore all thoughts. Focus on the feeling itself, not the thoughts. Have the feeling without resisting it, venting it, labeling it, fearing it, condemning it or moralizing about it. A feeling that is not resisted will disappear as the energy behind it dissipates"...Dr. David R. Hawkins
Instead of resisting and denying that life can be extremely challenging, may we have the intention to allow (non-judgmental, non-resistance to what is) all disappointment and uncomfortable aspects of our personalities and human-life experiences.
Disappointment reminds us that we could be viewing life through a dualistic lens of right vs wrong or good vs bad. Dualism is very disruptive! If we feel disrupted, then we are probably resisting something. The sensation of disappointment reminds us that we are not practicing allowance. Therefore, disappointment could be viewed as a catalyst to transformation.
The Divine flow of life can be disruptive. May we have the intention to allow this disruption to be viewed as guideposts along the path!
