As we sometimes surmise, things are not always as they seem.Even the so-called invisible is subject to change.And change is always in a constant state of evolutionary flux.Without change there exists stagnation, stillness, an emptiness of purpose for life; but in life to exist means growth and with growth after all comes some sort of change. There is life, death, and then life again, or better still awareness; a constant cycle for our need to learn of ourselves, our purpose, our being in the cosmos.This may seem to be an endless traipsing about through the joy and pain of the lives we thought we owned but it just makes our lack of awareness to the function of time all that more acute.We remember of course, time being a function of change. Or you may feel that change is a function of time.Regardless, it will eventually come together and a growth spurt of awareness will decide for you.The real point is, reaching a level of clarity where time no longer holds sway over you. You live for the here and now. Then when eternity beckons us, we merely need to listen. However, gains are never made without some sort of effort.No, no one said it had to be difficult or for that matter easy, but it really depends on each individual on how they deal with their situations.Everyone has lived with hurts, pains and heartache but without learning from the experience how can you expect to move forward in growth.Stop pointing the figure at others, and accept that you allowed the circumstance to develop in such a way where the manifest grief became yours to bear.Without going into too much detail, the root cause lay with you caring about what is said or done to you.IT matters to you.And as a result, you become vulnerable to the negative.Very vulnerable.It actually doesn’t matter, but you make it matter.This is your weakness however you can learn from it and make this a positive event.Not by not caring but by caring more for your inner well being.It goes without saying; we are frail emotional humans but made that way for a reason.There an adage which works flawlessly if we but let it?Love without any expectation of return.NO EXPECTATION OF RETURN.Is this hard to do? Absolutely, but it is also the greatest thing any human being can do in their entire lifetime.How do you know if you are capable of such an exalted attribute of spiritual development?You do not know.If you must think upon it, then you hadn’t achieved it. Think upon a mother’s love and how she would gladly give her life to save her child’s life.She would simply react without any thought to herself.No expectation of return.She loves her child unconditionally. This has been simplified but further discussion is necessary.
Everything is not always what it may seem.
It is said, by converting and diverting emotional energy into channels conducive for the regeneration of the life structure, man is actuating his release from direct karma and can prevent the necessity for indirect karma.In plain language (please), when you feel your frustrations beginning to overwhelm you instead of looking for a target (usually a person you care about) to blast and thus releasing the burden of your frustration, you make a conscious effort with a deep breath (providing you can) and use the tool that is your mind and logically breakdown the root cause of your despair.Easier said than done, of course, but with experiences that you allow yourself to learn from, you can develop a conscious awareness that can become a source of maintaining a mind that has liberating capabilities.The bonus is the elimination of unnecessary karma because you will cease hurting targets (people).It also works both ways, as you yourself may become a target at some time but you are able to fend off any inner anger brewing caused by the others angry words and as a result your awareness (if developed to this point) can maintain your inner peace.This is the simple view but it is a start.
What is counter to FEAR is knowledge. Fear is the privy of the unknown. Eliminate the unknown by learning. Knowledge shreds light that will clear out the darkness which is causing the fear. Remove doubt and you remove the means to create fear.
