Under Duress = NOT Moving On
Under Duress = NOT Moving On
Under Duress = NOT Moving On
You see, deep down, we all understand that getting over' either an event or a person and moving on' is the way to go but, for most of us, all that ever happens is that we activate the button that says M.O.M, Mind-Over-Matter, which results in us supposedly accepting the situation under duress. Sooner or later, Time does its thing and we are able to move on but only in a lopsided sort of way. We go through the motions. We believe we've made it when we find ourselves in a different mindset or in a different space a.k.a. a different house, a different partner, a new job, a new baby - or simply a new pet.
BUT from the point of view of our spiritual health, merely accepting under duress filters down through our aura to our emotional heath and eventually to our body, usually in the form of aches and pains or a downright life-compromising accident or illness. It is definitely a cop-out that fools no one - not us, not really - and certainly not our soul certainly not karmic tabulation.
For the one who is spiritually aware, acceptance is not about moving on' and it's not about getting over' anything.
Acceptance is only about Accepting from the heart a painful event, a nasty situation, a hurtful person or simply the drag of our daily life.
If we tacitly agree that all happens for a reason, a true clich, the reason' underfoot is to push us to evolve out of our emotional rut by processing the current challenge correctly AND emerging on the other side with a winning, open heart, instead of a heart that is resentful, wounded and, if not downright dead', definitely more hardened than before.
It does help greatly if we are able to accept that the situation unfolding in that particular stage of our life in real time is tailor-made for us. It does help if we are able to accept that its timing is impeccable. Yes, impeccable, it is.
It also helps to admit that we have already been presented with a similar sort of test and probably more than once and that, back then, we failed it. Even knowing that, our automated impulse is to re-act to the new challenge in the same mechanical way as previously.
It is so clear when we watch others untangling their lives that if they keep doing things in the same way, they always end up with the same result. Yet, when it comes to sorting out our challenging moments, we lose this precious insight.
So, the deal is not necessarily to embrace our personal drama, be it large or small. It's not really about understanding what happened either, let alone why it happened for the root of each of our moments springs at us partly from the sands of our soul's past lives and partly from whatever we have done or failed to do ... whenever. Moving our life forward. therefore relies on us facing the moment' squarely, placidly from the inside-out.
Moving our life forward involves breathing with intent. It involves staying present, awake and self-aware in the moment that is under our feet. Yup, that moment because that moment, such as it has presented itself under our feet, is the only moment we can ever shape from the inside/out. Think about it.
Reality check: we need to process that moment and every other moment - no differently from when we swallow doses of bitter medicine simply because we trust they will for sure heal us in the long run fingers crossed. One major difference being, in the case of swallowing pride and neutralising ego, that never ever triggers any harmful side-effects. Any conscious decision that involves practicing a heart-over-mind-over matter approach to problem-solving is guaranteed free of any trace elements hazardous to our wellbeing.
When talking about medicine, even hardcore, or surgical intervention, we don't often push the enquiry beyond a certain point, not if we think the process will lengthen our life.
We choose to not dwell on the long list of guaranteed side-effects.
We don't really contemplate not taking these doses of radiation, of bitter medicine, of chemicals injected through needles, sometimes very long needles.
We choose to not think about malpractice.
We accept the complete package willingly because we want to have faith in their medicinal power in their healing power and we have no other option.
Similarly, for a more holistic approach to staying healthy in our moments, we need to process our day one moment at a time, objectively, neutrally, calmly we want to make peace with it because we have developed faith in the logical, healing powers that come from understanding that we are in that paining phase because this is how karma works.
We want to understand that whatever befalls us has nothing to do with random bad or good luck. Personal power comes from understanding.
Pushing us to understand and make peace with whatever eats at us is how karma tests our spiritual mettle.
And more importantly for us, it is how we can begin to make things much better, principally for ourselves.
Serious question: why surrender our body and our mind to soul-ripping chemical treatment by not acting earlier on our emotions? Why not thwart or grapple head-on the instinctive but unhealthy reactions triggered deep within the low end of our ego - the opposite end of our ego to that were Soul resides, the end that is only programmed to react through physical and emotional kneejerks to the rub and tear of daily life?
The trick to moving on', totally, from the depth of our core, with the help of our soul, is to find the Heart-Over-Mind-Over-Matter button and to deliberately, whole-heartedly, choose to punch it with all we've got, single-mindedly again and again.
