As long as I can remember, I’ve believed ever so deeply I was at the mercy of physical and emotional pain and hurting. One moment I’m physically and emotionally feeling great, and the next moment I’m not for no conscious reason.
Is this true?
AM I INHERENTLY, IMMUTABLY PRONE TOWARDS SUFFERING PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY FOR NO REASON?
Let’s see.
As long as I can remember, one moment I’m feeling on top of the world and the next moment I’m hurting in despair. There seems to be no discernable reason for this. I don’t remember thinking a negative thought, and I’ve been remarkably healthy most of my life.
This collapse of my wellbeing has happened so often and has been so intense at times, that I’ve been on a psychotherapeutic, spiritual, and Alexander Technique search my whole life looking for an end to it.
I tell you how I experience this collapse. It is as if I’m a victim of circumstances, that shit happens, and there is nothing I’ve done that causes it or relieves it right away.
BUT I ALWAYS KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING, I AND EVERY THERAPIST I EVER WORKED WITH WAS MISSING. I knew deep down my ego, my identification of me as a body(A Course in Miracles), was the source of my suffering.
What was it?
Everything I’ve ever read about feelings and moods, stated that if we think something that we believe, and if it’s a downer, we collapse, and if it’s an upper, we can become elated, or at least moderately happy.
The thought always precedes the change of mood or feeling?
Do I believe this? Getting there.
Do I know anyone who truly believes this?
I don’t think so, because I don’t anyone that has been freed by this truth.
What do I mean?
If you accept that every dark turn your feelings takes is preceded by a thought, then you can inhibit the thought.
Inhibition is the ability in the Alexander Technique to see a bad physical habit start to kick in, and choose not to do it, inhibit it.
I believe this also applies to thought.
But if a despairing thought is what sends you into a dark place, and you don’t remember having one, are you screwed, always a victim of the not perceived unconscious thought?
Let’s see.
If you take it on faith that every dark despairing mood or feeling that comes up instantly is preceded by an attack thought on yourself, then you are on your way to healing.
How?
You know what to look for – a cruel thought directed at yourself.
My thoughts must be extraordinarily repetitive and sneaky, since they’ve been kicking my butt forever.
FOR CRUEL THOUGHTS AGAINST YOURSELF TO BE EFFECTIVE AND UNDETECTABLE, YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT YOUR PAIN AND SUFFERING ARE BEING DONE TO YOU, AND THAT YOU’RE NOT DOING THEM TO YOURSELF.
What do I mean?
That you’re at the mercy of the universe, your parents, all other bodies, your genetics, and your sinful self.(God)
Look at what I just wrote. I have believed it this whole life.
But I also believe I’m the only one hurting myself with my thoughts.
A COURSE IN MIRACLES says if you believe contradicting belief systems simultaneously, the one that isn’t true will run your life.
So, I deep down from childhood believed external or genetic flaws call my shots, determine my happiness. Even if in moments of in the moment clarity I know this isn’t true, I will be bit in my butt still over and over again.
The above truth is the key to my freedom from continuing to attack myself. Now that I see that subconsciously I believe I can be hurt for no real reason, I now have the opportunity to see what I’m saying to myself. That the thought happens so fast and is so quickly hidden by emotional and maybe physical pain, that the thought is totally obscured but still exists.
THIS MEANS IN THAT MOMENT OF EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL COLLAPSE, I WILL HAVE NO MEMORY OF THE THOUGHT I BRUTALIZED MYSELF WITH.
Is there always a cruel thought if for no reason you “don’t feel good”?
YES!
If you accept what I just said, it gives you the truth and the tool to stop, inhibit, and see what you just said to yourself that took the wind out of your sails, took your reason for wanting to live away.
This gives you back all of your power that you gave away as a child, before you knew you were giving it away to unconscious grown bodies and big egos and to the universe.
