Purpose of Pain
October 13, 2020
Q: Why am I hurting and angry?
A: Honor the pain you feel for it helps you grow. The tears water the roots to keep its form sustainable. The form is of a tree, limbs reaching and touching the ethereal and roots sinking into and anchoring it into the dirt like fingers clenching soil. The mistake is not to feel pain but to miss the meaning of the pain. Whatever makes you look beyond what and where you are is a gift. Your pain encourages you to keep looking for answers, even though you have found the answer is simply being. Pain makes you look at something that’s not okay, no longer acceptable or tolerable—being pushed beyond its intended use or duration. The muscle being overworked is in the heart. Love can heal, but the mind can tell the heart what it thinks it needs and plot a course. This is no longer acceptable. The heart wants to lead the way and let the mind follow in its wake, making rationalizations afterward if it must, but love and cherishing the moment is the goal and pain signal that your mind is trying to usurp control again. Emotions are gifts, signals. Try to let them move through you, not take up home in your body. Anger, oh, anger is there untapped—ready to be released, but are you ready? You are afraid you won’t be the same afterwards—that you won’t be able to come back together after the anger rips through you. But anger cannot teach what is missing.
Q: What is missing?
A: Patience. With yourself, with others, with God, with time, with the Universe. You are angry that things seem unfair and unjust. You have witnessed things you can’t forget and don’t want to remember. Trust in the timing that comes with all-knowing. You know. Your soul knows. Release expectation for this lifetime—any idea of control and achievement—and flow. Go with the flow of the Universe’s rhythm of love and truth. Justice is at hand. It doesn’t look like the TV shows of fancy rhetoric and pricey lawyers and picking the “right” jury. It’s a soul connection that gets re-aligned. You are being realigned. Everyone will come into resonance and harmony of Universal truth. Trust us, love.
