Move In, Move On

We all have issues in our life that challenge our emotional state and threaten to destroy our ability to simply live in our own skin. When emotions become a train wreck and we hurt beyond our own belief…and when someone tells us to “get over it,” but we are simply paralyzed by the constant pounding of emotion upon our psyche, what do we do?

Emotional pain is simply the moral distortion of circumstances that causes a strategic disorientation in the basic psychology of the human mind through the insistence that Love be subservient to emotion. This mental and emotional disorientation reflects the quality and the placement of all thoughts in our psyche.

We need delusion and the mental illness it causes (through heartache) in order to live in the disorder of the society we have created through total indifference to Love as a spiritual quality. We actually promote a disharmony and a disconnect with Love by insisting that being “right” is more essential than Love in our lives.

Typically, the human mind cannot hear what I have just offered because the emotions we have cultivated during our lifetime through pain and pleasure will not allow us to “hear” the message. We are emotional train wrecks that just can’t seem to “get over it.” We live so broken trying to appear so “absolute.” In truth, we do not care about Love…we only want the “love” that our emotions can give us as passion. Passion has become the “unconditional love” of the world. People really believe that passion is the love that will heal their broken lives.

The fear of loosing what you “love” – your whole life dances around this bonfire of the assumed. So here is my offering to you this beautiful day: watch and listen without the need to be confused by your own morality. Everything that is in this life is here to help you “get over it” by offering something called mercy…which, I have found, life is full of.

If you seek the grace that comes with awareness, you are in a posture to spiritually live your life in the compassion that will help you realize the one thing that the intellect could never show you: living supple. Yes, learning how to bend and move with ease in the gracefulness that allows everything to come and go as it needs to in this life is the key to “getting over it.” This cannot be taught. It is an awareness that one comes to through the practice of meditation and learning how to sustain consciousness over hate and fear. Allow me a more picturesque description of all of this from the Heart of Rumi:

If you can read this with a sense of willingness you will deeply understand that “getting over it” simply means welcoming everything that occurs within your life with a sense of acceptance through the mercy and grace of compassion. You are not being punished for what you have done nor are you being rewarded. You are in the flow of Life and everything is coming to you to be realized as a guide from beyond.

Learning how all of this applies to you without the need for condolences will change the entire perspective of your living. Again, no one can teach you this…you must come to this on your own. It takes a very mature person to “get” all of this. Maturity being defined as not weighting everything from the emotions of “good” and “bad.”

To flow into Love and to let it have its way with you is what Life is all about. Find what is perfect in everything that you face and you will know the Way that the wise have known for many thousands of years. We are on a journey to Love, which has no real logic or reasoning within it. There is no “pay off” in all of this. Stay agile and pliable through out it all. Seek to hold nothing of the past within you…yet, see it for what it was and how it could be again, if you are not careful.
