a new day dawns...

Forgive yourself first. I don't say that because I think you did anything 'wrong'.
We must forgive ourselves to find true peace. I have found that true peace does not come from our finding peace with another, it comes only from peace with our self, our reconciliation with our own behaviors and life situations.

But, as I've said before...

The most painful experience every human soul will endure, is the inhuman pain of getting to know one's self.

To live is to die
To love is to suffer

To deny otherwise is to experience life in illusion.

Many take those words above as horrible negativity.
I take them to understand:

to experience life is a gift

no moment should ever be taken for granted

and when you love, love deeply

It takes awareness in understanding, patience, perseverance, and finding peace in moments.

It becomes a realization that is transcendent. When it becomes a natural part of your life, your entire world will change, because you've changed so profoundly and permanently.

There is only one person that defines when you are happy, when you are joyful, when you are at peace. YOU. In our western culture and social structures we have been taught from birth that we are to be dependent on others to allow us to feel and experience such beauty as simple as joy.

We never are taught the truth; those things can only come from within. When we rely on them coming from exterior relationships, we live them vicariously. And when that exterior stimulus of relationship is removed from us, the illusion we existed in comes crashing down and shatters into so many pieces we know our life as we knew it, can never be the same again.

And when you find that we lived and loved falsely, and the true nature of us comes unfolding from the Kingdom Within...

...a new day dawns.

As you know, I’ve long admired your contributions to GLP. You opened many minds here to concepts and mysteries completely unknown to most of those on this planet, and stretched those minds to conceive things never before conceived.

It is for this reason that your post above puzzles me.

I am puzzled because forgiveness of self is not a new concept to those who have a significant measure of life experience, and who have experienced deep and meaningful love...... a group of which YOU are among.

So I am certain the subject you are posting about is certainly not new to you. You have been familiar with self-forgiveness.

For most people though, the concept of self-forgiveness is a mere cognitive understanding.

From there, one must next advance to experiencing the true impact of that concept, understanding the full, fundamental basis that strikes the heart with sudden awareness of the critical need to do this in order to achieve inner contentment and be at peace with oneself.

However, once the deeper, more fundamental understanding of the need for self-forgiveness is reached, the next question is:

HOW?

This is where I am.

By way of analogy, it’s like looking at a map and seeing that at some point you must cross a river. But as you move further into your journey, you finally reach the river, and you are standing on the bank, and you are just now discovering that the river has a powerful, fast-moving current, and you suddenly realize at that moment that your life depends on getting across the river to the other side.

But HOW?

I’ve reached that point in my journey. Prior to this point, I have known of the concept of self-forgiveness on a cognitive level, knowing that at some point I would need to address it.

But now I am at the river. Its waters are deep. VERY deep.

Its current is powerful. VERY powerful. The possibility of getting across it is high, but the probability is low.

I have been standing at this river for quite some time.

I know it is imperative that I get across it.

But HOW?

I know deep inside that my soul cannot advance, cannot evolve, until I get across this river, and I fear I will never learn how, and I will be made to repeat this Theme and have to do it all over again.

In consideration of the personal devastation (and consequent suffering of the heart and mind) that you have recently experienced, I am reading your post and wondering:

Is he standing on the river’s edge, now directly faced with the realization and deep understanding of what he must do?

Or has he made it across the river to the other side, and is able to tell the rest of us:

HOW.

.

To love is to suffer is not true tho.

You are not insane

It surely is.

Perhaps the end goal is to be in joy, grace and gratitude. Yet to learn to love, there will be suffering.

To learn what love is, and the steps and awareness that has to grow within us, will hurt.

Until we become Love.

Yet suffering is a perception...as well.

Who among us has not loved falsely, or selfishly in our life?

wow, long time no see!

hope things are going well for you

finding the fibs in your own Fibonacci!
Smoothing and soothing the spirals we swing on
diving deep enough to see the decimals of your core
subtract and divide the ills
to add and multiple to your wills
to spiral out of the shell of false comforts
snails without protection? no
we leave trails for others
to see the similarities in their reflection
the man in the mirror
im sorry mrs Jackson
but i am for reeeeeeal
strength in owning your 'weakness'
which is love that brought us to our meekness
used against us by those puppeteers
cut the strings once the silver surfer arrives
down the silver cord
inherit the earth in your own bubble
the lil horn protruding..
can you hear the other 10 mumble??

if knowledge bee wisdom, and experience is a must
reflections of one's self, will bring about just us!
in the theory of your personal evolution
that walking fish with legs i once caught
Mr Darwin, before mediation, will share his thoughts
Smiles through understanding you are not alone
once you hang up that phone
give an inch, don't
compromise 'they' won't
stand your ground
where peace was found
Mario be waiting in the star levels
having bonked his head on enough ? marks
control the fire, embrace the sparks!!
feel the burn, to know your alive

and don't ever forget to...


coming from someone who already pet the goat twice
todays bart Simpson struttin theme album for the day
for my distant relatives

if i had to guess, our friend already stared at the river long enough to ponder. realizing two choices...

follow the path along the river, observing the currents, til you reach the next bridge

or

step into the cold flowing fresh water. wading without waders straight into the white water ripples without fear. in trust, that the only thing on earth that sustains all life is the water that returns to the ocean.. relax in realization that hope don't float, but You DO!! those who choose this will find the bridge down river already done burnt...

follow the water.. how would i know? tis my forte.. i already done baptized myself. something no other man can do for another

she a fellow tennesseeinite, the answer of your how...

is in this song

I thought it read a new day yawns.

Archon matrix principles.

Archon implants interfere with your thoughts, think all kinds of silly irrelevant stuff.

dissolve them, clarity returns.

I hope you don't mind if I join in here....

While your analogy is a sight-full, it also serves to undermine you if you believe that you might only maybe get across the powerful river. You're fearful of making it across, and fear is the #1 detractor from us being able to do anything we need to do to grow.

You might think about restructuring how you're thinking about the river, so you're better prepared to do what you believe you need to do for your growth into fully integrating with your soul.

Your spirit - the "bridge" between yourself and your soul - is involved in this restructuring effort.

I am not a person who involves herself in organized religion, but my sense of Faith in greater processes is extremely strong....where is your Faith in all of this? Where is your Faith in yourself? Do you think you are all alone and not supported by a greater force/greater forces? Do you not think you are worthy of crossing that river?

What you're seeing as an analogy is making you to think a particular way, a way that does not serve you well. It enforces that you'll not likely ever get across.

Let that analogy go....just let it go.

Find an analogy, if even you must have one, that invites you to become your spirit and to find your strength to move towards your expanded self.

I do believe that you have the strength and power to do what you want and need to do, you just need to relax your mind from it's stricture....the stricture you are doing to yourself.

My heart to yours that you understand what I'm saying here....

We may not be masters and commanders of our environment, but we can be the masters and commanders of our own growth. Or we cannot be.

This is your CHOICE to make....

Stands in confining suffocating abusive box
Push push push outside insode screams and argues
Don’t need that (takes bra off) don’t look them in the eye.
Just walk
Takes an iced tea and smokes, leaves house.
Bare foot Walks out, leaves door open.
Stops outside bent friends house who both have a past.
Sits.
Thinks of nothing.
Numb.
Rolls a smoke.
Get’s up and walks off leaving smokes and iced tea, in the gutter.
Couldn’t involve them in this.
Heads south down the street
Worries nipples are evident through shirt
Comes to the tall grass, walks several steps into and stops.
Don’t need that (takes off shirt shorts and underwear)
Prickles everywhere
Takes a few steps
here
Forced to kneel
Gets up ‘I forgive myself’
Takes a couple of steps
Forced to knees again
Get’s a up
‘I forgive myself’
Steps on through prickles, takes more steps
Forced to knees again, hands hit the dirt, prickles
Get’s up
‘I forgive myself’
Starts to get angry, steps on through more prickles
Drops to knees and hands again, don’t feel pain now.
Get’s up with the shits
‘I forgive myself!’
Walks on, comes to a storm gutter and fence, walks around it.
Prickles don’t exist now.
Follow the fence, have forgotten about being naked
The sun burns white flesh
Can’t feel it.
Keeps walking
Turns towards the mangroves webbed with spiders and the smell of purification
Climbs through the mud over the mangroves
Still moving south
Leg sinks in mud up to knee wonders if a big fucking muddy might latch on to toe
Gets up and uses the trees to stay off the mud
Keeps going
Comes to the edge of the creek, can’t see the bottom, salties been seen here
Enters water and lets current take this body
Drifts in peace
Serenity gentle cooling salt water on abused flesh
Remembers crocs chooses not to die
Turns and changes direction in the water
Swims against the current and get’s the fuck out of the water
Holds on to the mangroves for a minute
Starts to climb through the filth of rot and more spiders
Heads west
Up, go up, get out, leave.
Climb, get out
Reach the top of the mangrove tree
No where else to go
He’s not there either
Pain for the first time
Excruciating pain
Let go it’s too much
Can hear the sound of branches breaking un weight of fall and flesh gouged
Can’t feel anything
Blackness envelopes
Peace
nothing

Change yourself, and change the world.

truth^^^
my advice...

stay high! elevates your vibration to a level 'they' can NOT reach!
