You, who suffer, know this: you
suffer because of yourself. No one forces you to suffer. The liberation from
suffering will also come only from yourself. (Gautama Buddha)
- They "pushed" on my old wounds again, I had
balanced myself and taken off as if with stronger wings upward, and now I
feel confused again; and I think it's for the best, for the dark corners
of the soul to emerge, for the old wounds to heal, but at the same time, I
also think... how long will it go on like this, all this suffering, will I
ever become strong?
- Don't have expectations; see in suffering the
cleansing, the polishing, God's hand, the guidance, the refinement; as
long as there is dissatisfaction and resistance, and "how long will
it go on like this, all this suffering," there will be suffering because
there is a lack of humility and acceptance. Every wound contains within
itself the seed for its own healing. Love the pain, see it as your gift,
necessary for you to purify yourself and return to the Truth. Treasures
are hidden in our wounds. And this is not masochism - I'm not saying to
hurt yourself and invite slaps, but to look at your pain in a new way.
- Yes, I understand.
- Look at the pain with gratitude, with love for God and
what He has given you as an experience, let go of control!
- That's exactly right.
- Leave behind your fears, don't identify with them. The
old wounds are in the past, the lesson from the pain remains today. Take
it and make it the foundation of your life now, without digging deeper
into the past. Extract wisdom from everything that has hurt you, without
delving into detailed analyses - that complicates things, mental
acrobatics complicate things. Things are simple.
- How wonderful...
- If your heart trembles in front of something - it's
true, follow it. In lifeless matter, in the past, you have no work or
place. Eternity is in the NOW. Jesus speaks of this eternal life, freedom
is in the present moment, the Kingdom of God. The past and the future are
projections, illusions, not reality. And wounds exist because we run away
from the present, because we lose focus. That's why we get hurt, to focus
on the present. Jesus said, "No one who puts a hand to the plow and
looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God." (Luke 9:62) Set
a strong anchor in the present. Embrace and LOVE GOD - in everyone, in
yourself, in every living being. Recognize Him, seek Him, and see Him.
Meet with God. When you see someone, let your first thought be, "God,
I want to see you in this person." And you will see Him. You may
encounter the ego of the other person or your own ego, but there will be a
moment, a word, a gesture, and it will be a manifestation of God. And that
is happiness - for your eyes to see the invisible, for your soul to be
light and free. The Teacher is in everyone, don't focus on authorities and
outward appearances... Don't have authorities... "THERE IS NO OTHER
GOD BESIDES ME"; don't create idols...
- Oh, my God, it's beautiful...
Listen, God is within yourself. You
have a Teacher within yourself. In every person, God speaks constantly. Listen,
don't have external crutches. A person needs an external Teacher until they
discover, until they hear their Teacher within themselves. The Teacher is not
necessarily in physical form. If you read someone's words as a Teacher - accept
them as a voice from the One. The Teacher is God. Jesus said, "I am the
way, the truth, and the life." Life teaches you, the path leads on its
own. There is no need to try to stop the pain because that is manipulation,
disobedience, restlessness, action from a position of fear, escape, resistance.
The more you reject your cross, the heavier it becomes. It exhausts you, stops
the flow of Divine energy, you lose your connection with God, your connection
with Him is blocked. Trust in what happens, you are in God's hands, He takes
care of His children and gives them the best. Accept that every pain is not
pain but the best and perfect for you. I can share this with you, dear soul, as
a revelation for you. Thank you for setting the tone for me...
- Oh, I thank you! I really, really needed it.
- Smile!
- Indeed, you understand me and give me the right
perspective. Okay, I'll smile, a little sad smile, but it's okay, I know
it's for the good.
- Of course, everything is for our good. BE HAPPY!!!
Accept everything as it is, be happy with yourself in your sad moments,
accept it, don't fight what happens, embrace it. That is the Spirit ruling
over matter, over the ego, over fears, over lower desires and ambitions,
over the lower nature, over personality.
- How do you see life management? I mean, can't a person
manage their own life?
- There is no such thing as life management, actually.
There is someone who governs and manages - God is the commander. You can
listen to what your heart guides you, that is the command, that is the
management. You listen, recognize, and take the necessary steps, the
necessary actions, with pure will and pure selfless motivation, to fulfill
God's will. The heart conveys GOD'S WILL.
- Oh my God, that's exactly what I needed to articulate,
exactly that as a formula.
- When something makes you sad, uncomfortable, when you
wish something would happen differently, say to yourself: "Let it be
God's will. First, God, let Your will be done, not mine." And God
knows what should happen, you just accept and experience it without
resistance.
- Amazing, that's what my heart tells me, and my mind
says, "Choose to be a victor, not a victim." And I've been
struggling for the past two days, am I a victim or a victor?
:) That forcing actually breaks you, tires you, makes you sick. You are a
child of God, and once you realize and feel that, you are already a victor. The
Spirit has overcome the ego, the animalistic, the lower, the fears. Victory is
to subdue the ego, victory is to be a SERVANT OF GOD with complete devotion,
without doubts, without analysis, to position yourself in the Spirit, not in
the pretentious personality and its selfish goals and aspirations, for
achievements, for careers, for success, for happenings, for manipulating
relationships with dependencies. Because that, that is fleeting, that is
building castles without a foundation. You need a SPIRITUAL FOUNDATION, you
need a conscious connection with the Source, and then use the ego for its
purpose and create with it. CREATE, discover, learn, write, work on what draws
you, affirm God's power and glorify Him, don't do anything without being
"plugged in." When I start working on a serious project on my laptop,
I plug it into the power outlet, not just on battery, because the battery will
run out quickly, it will "die," it won't last long, success won't
happen, the work won't get done, it will turn off, it will stop the resource of
electricity. And so... it is the same with a person - to be connected to the
Source, not trying to live separately and independently.
- I am very, very grateful for these moments, short but
with profound messages, very powerful, right on time.
"Do you have humility? God's
Love can enter you. In the spiritual world, humility gives plasticity to the
human soul to perceive the blessings that the Divine Spirit carries within
Himself. That is what the human soul strives for. Only in this state can we
perceive." (Teacher Peter Deunov)
