Pain Redux

 Pain is a warning.  Especially chronic pain.  


Healing can be gradual.  Sometimes instantaneous.


Pain causes people to deal with what causes it.


Sometimes it's ignored, overwhelmingly to detriment.  


When pain is overwhelming, then it can be relieved.  


Beware if someone says they can take your pain.  Sure, some can be taken.  But without pain there is no actual healing.  The problem is still unsolved.


And yes, pain must be at a level where one can actually seek a cure.  


In counseling, it's supposed to be emphasized the client must do most of the work.  A therapist can help sort things out.  But the health people seek is within.


Don't let others put it all on you.  They must take responsibility for themselves.  


And so must you.


PS: There are things, visible and invisible, which may strike w/o little or no pain.

Rise to meet the challenge.

Envy Jealousy

 I heard just the other day a definition for those 2 words.


Jealousy is wanting/wishing to have something someone has.


Envy is hatred.  It is beyond just wishing.  It is calculated and there is a wish though.  The envious wish for their target to hate just as much as they do.  Misery loves company.


We might see things or qualities others have.  The healthy attitude is to hope we can achieve our own good, not to steal nor hate others for those things we lack.


Examples are the groundwork for the future.  


Decide to reach for one's own destiny.  


Be happy for others' success and strive to do likewise.

Keep Or Lose

 First there is get.  Acquire.  Be given.  All of by and for the Light.


Then one must keep aka maintain, defend.


If one doesn't do what's needed then one will lose what one has gained.


Nothing is gratis.  Responsibility is the price.


Establish a base.  And build.  


History.

Mystery/Secret

 My books are not strictly speaking mysteries.  There is a little bit here and there, just to flavor it.  I'll let readers figure it out.


There will be no secrets.  All will be revealed.


Kinda that way in life in general.


American Indians sometimes call the Creator Great Mystery.  There are things left unexplained.  


Some secrets are good like a surprise party.  Many are bad such as child rape.  


Secrets lurk and many are kept that way because they are evil/bad for people.  Some secrets are left hidden because they may actually serve Light and would be compromised if generally known.


Mysteries are things which have no exact explanation.  Some aspects are veiled, but the intent/will is done.  The results are in the open.  The proof is in the pudding.


Sometimes faith is enough.  Sometimes composition is important.


Our history and how it was lived are important to know.


How Great Mystery deals with us is important, but it is enough that it is done.


Can we handle the mystery and should it be secret?


Seek and ye shall find.
