To use
the awareness which lies in feelings to live an alternative way
we need to become
very intimate with our
creative spirit. We need to become very aware of what we feel in
life, about life and what we have experienced in life. We need to
rely on our
creative spirit being fully present in our life.
However, our
creative spirit
is vulnerable and easily hurt. In many ways it is the most
sensitive part of our being. In having our
creative spirit being fully present we become aware of both how
our creative spirit is thwarted, and has been thwarted, in life and
how the creative spirit of others is thwarted from fully and
freely expressing themselves. This in turn leads to a greater
awareness of
pain in ourselves, in others, and the world. Exactly what we
feel and how we feel it is unique to our being. But, there will be
an increased awareness of, and sensitivity to,
pain. Much of the pain we experience will not be our personal pain
but the pain around us. Yet, there is a
gift in pain. If we learn how to use the pain we experience. The
key to using the awareness which lies in feelings is to become aware
of how to use the pain we feel and experience in life.
Analogously, in many ways, using the awareness which lies in
feelings is like using nuclear energy. Nuclear energy is one of the
greatest concentrations of energy we have available to use. It is
the energy which fuels our sun and the stars. There is tremendous
power available to us if we learn how to use it. Nuclear energy can
be used in a constructive way such as to make electricity or
destructive ways to build bombs. It also can be used in a relatively
clean way as in the fusion process or a rather dirty way as in the
fission process which yields long term radioactive waste which will
take thousands of years to fully decay away.
Using the awareness which lies in feeling is to learn to use the
most power source of creative life energy we have available to us in
the cleanest way. What we do not understand is that we will always
feel. We cannot not feel. We will always sense the flows of energy
of
creation/Creation.
Even if we lose the physical
pain receptors of our body we can still feel pain that is of
nonphysical origins. The question is,” Are
open to feeling or do we raise the threshold of what we feel so
as to not experience pain?” Most of us at the earliest age learn to
raise the threshold so as to not feel pain until it has an intensity
that we cannot avoid. Others seek to numb the pain they feel in some
way or spend their life trying to avoid it. Still other develop
addictions of one form or another,
including thinking as an addiction, so as to not feel.
The consequences of not being open to what we feel and learning how
to use the
pain we experience is to use the most powerful energy source
available to us in a relative dirty, if not the dirtiest, way
nonconsciously. In not being open to what we feel or trying to
avoid and facing certain types and kinds of feeling we create
conditions which have enormous long term consequences. Many of the
consequences we create takes years, if not lifetimes (yes,
lifetimes), to
dissipate the
energy we bind in acting the way we do. Whether we realize it or
not, analogously, most of have been living life creating nuclear
weapons and routinely setting them off in our life at some level of
our being - spiritually, mentally, emotionally or physically, and
then wonder why we have the problems that we do.
Awakening to the awareness which lies in feelings simply allows us
to take conscious control over many things which we now do
nonconsciously. In doing so, we can create a life which better
serves us
and to create
a life worth living.
Unfortunately, the truth of what is said here cannot be seen unless
we
open ourselves to what we feel and become aware of how much
feeling we have learned to suppress and/or otherwise avoid. Then, in
the awareness of feeling, we see what life really has to offer. We
can come to see that
Nirvana, Heaven, the Kingdom of God, and the like are fully
present here and now. There is no need to transcend physical life or
transcend the body. There is no need to die to experiences such
states of being. We simply need to become aware of who and what we
really are - creators of our experiences and the
reality
we experience - and create a life that
serves us
and is
a life worth living.
What needs to be clearly understood is using the awareness which
lies in what we feel we can, and will, create
an alternative way to live life that is much more fulfilling and
enjoyable. However, we will need to face the issue of the
pain we feel in and about life and learn to understand and use
the
gift that lies in pain.
