When you have been hit by a train!

When you have been hit by a train.

We have to grieve what is to be grieved, mourn what is to be mourned, feel what is to be felt, object loudly what is to be objected to and then allow the intensity of our emotions and agony to diminish. If we have objected properly our agony will diminish. If we have mourned fully our mourning will end. If we have fully grieved our grieving will stop.

We are not here to agonize endlessly and get stuck in the things that hold us down. We are here to experience them and then move on so we can experience more of this life in its fullness.
We must bear our pain fully and not shut it off or it will return.

We can not live with our eyes and hearts fully open without bearing the pain. The pain is the is of pain, of seeing it as it is, knowing it as it is, feeling it as it is and experiencing it as it is. The more aware you are the more fully alive you will be through all that you will have to go through in life. No one and I mean no one escapes pain and trouble.

A wise man said to me one day that if a train hits you no matter if it is a real train or an imagined one...sooner or later you have to deal with the pain. Start by saying that your pain is real and that is must be witnessed by you. You cannot work through or bear unacknowledged pain. In order to bear what needs to be borne, you have to name it and call it out.

Receive it, accept it, witness it and share it. God cannot help you through something you have not brought into the light of your being.
