The Psychic Spiritual World: Pain and Pleasure


The Psychic Spiritual World: Pain and Pleasure

There is a balance between pain and pleasure. We need to be hopeful, choose happy and be positive. But what if you are sad, depressed….? The students that committed suicide at the colleges where I taught were always, the brightest stars known for being happy, helpful to others. People were always shocked when they chose suicide. America worships “happy” and “positive attitude.”

What is the aversion to the so-called negative? Why are we rejected for being a “downer”?

If a person is truly happy and content from the inside out, some one else’s upset mood, depression or anxiety will not affect you ! People react badly to “negativity” because it stirs up their own un resolved issues. It makes them feel (again) their unresolved issues.

The great sadness for me is 1) sad people have no where to go and share—except a 12 step meeting or a therapist’s office 2) so many people are layering a false positive over a stinking swamp of fear, depression, anxiety and other “unacceptable” feelings.

Spiritual work, meditation, Readings, help us to burn through the dark gunk that we hide from others and often from ourselves. When we are authentically balanced, then we can enjoy all the weather we experience as a human. A bad day can be just like rainy weather. A bad time can be like winter storms. It doesn’t have to be “negative”—- make hot chocolate and cozy down.

When we are clear, we don’t have to insist on “happy”. We find happy everywhere, in every experience. And we welcome the variety life has to offer, all the ups and downs, all kinds of weather. If we are balanced, sad people, or happy people having a sad time don’t have to hide, or fear rejection. And that is a happy situation for all. !
