there have been so many posts about suffering in this forum, i want to share how i came to end my suffering. and let me tell you i have suffered beyond anything i thought i could ever handle. i believed my thoughts to the point that i had anxiety so bad i wanted "out," just to stop the madness of my mind at the time.

my experience showed me that we only suffer when we believe our thoughts. when we question them to see if they are really true, often the suffering stops right away. when we suffer we want out of the suffering, and sometimes that means an end to the physical body, but the mind will remain, so it is not a way out in the long run ... just the short sighted way out.

thoughts of ending it all, when allowed to be a part of the whole of all that is, will often end on their own, and what is replaced, after having questioned our thoughts, is laughter. i've experienced this time and again.

okay, so a thought comes up and it brings up certain emotions. if we have a belief, we will get caught up in the thought and get carried away with it. if a thought comes up and we don't believe it to be true, it vanishes as fast as it came in.

so we want to question the thoughts that stick around and bring us down.

ask yourself if the thought is true. if you answer yes, ask yourself if you know that it is absolutely true? it can at that point be a yes, and often it will come up as a no when we ask for the absolute truth. it doesn't matter ... a yes or no is fine.

the next question will be this: how do you react when you think that thought? then answer that so you can get all the feelings out from within you.

after you feel complete, ask yourself this: who would i be without that thought -- a thought you could never think again? then go into how that would be or how you would be living your life.

now you want to turn the thought around:

you do that by looking at the opposite, the other, or my thinking, to see if any of that could be just as true.

here is an example of an all too common statement that people feel about themselves: "something is wrong with me"

here is an example of a woman asking these questions:

yeah, i like your solution. it makes sense. we are the only ones who limit ourselves with limiting thoughts.

i especially like the question, "who would i be without that thought -- a thought you could never think again? then go into how that would be or how you would be living your life."

i think i will use this.

thanks

thanks, i needed that reminder yet again. nobody can do it like bk, she's a very special lady. funny how she can work on someone else and pull you along with the healing. all our issues are basically the same. suffering is a product of the mind for sure.

"in this world of illusion, with sorrow and pain as the tools offered for mastery, it’s all too easy to fall into that sense of separation. a quiet calm often rests with me, like the patience of a funeral director watching the misery of those around him while also knowing he’s doing his job and there ultimately is no death, only life everlasting.

in these moments i have a chance to awaken the slumbering self within, to wipe away those tears of inconsistency, and revive the promise of a million forgotten prophecies and hundreds more that can still be found… a world to come, much more than what we now know.

it is a world of unity, a world of bliss, a world of souls coming together in perfect unity. all thoughts shared, all hearts opened, all minds interconnected. it is a world unthinkable to those in the trenches of the physical world, battling it out with the apparent polarity dance, not yet realizing that the white flag of surrender to divine will can collapse the inner struggle to reveal true unity.

the science is but a blueprint… a treasure map leading the way to an awareness of the infinite potential within our own beings.

we have never been lost, never been abandoned, never been isolated. we have secrets to our being so vast that our rational minds cannot even comprehend them. our future has glories so great that our hearts would collapse in longing if we could really know how beautiful it will be… so we are kept happy and functional by honoring the promise, rather than truly knowing the moment of its arrival.

all as one, moving together, souls dancing in eternal jubilation… etching a moment in space and time, forever redefining path, destiny and knowledge. never again can the spoiled promises of the material world hold quite so much sway. never again can the loss of the abandoned child within drown out the love of the awakened adult. this moment, this peace, this blessing is ours to share… and we revel in it.

i guess you could say i like my job."
