Theos-Talk Archives (April 2005 Message tt01288)

Thank you for the e-mails trying to bring me some confort, that was not my intention, whatever I mentioned is something that will not change. Maybe the limitation I have with the English language did not allow me to express myself better. 

When love beckons to you follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his pinions
May wound you.
And when he speaks to you believe in him, 
Though his voice may shatter your dreams 
As the north wind lays waste the garden.
For even as love crowns you 
so shall he crucify you.
Even as he is for your growth 
So is he for your pruning. 

Khalil Gibran

Have you ever smiled or laughed in the past? Have you ever felt any
joy or happiness, whether through your self or another? Have you ever
seen a child eat a meal? Have you ever experienced comfort from
another's arms or presence? Ever have a friend that you engaged in a
conversation in, and enjoyed it? Ever perceive beauty in a flower or
bird or painting or the sky? This is a realm of duality and contrast, is
it not? Why focus on only one portion of the contrast? Why not be
appreciative of the pleasant and recognize it as least as strongly as
the unpleasant? If this is not done, would there not be an imbalance
of some sort within a being? Would this not cause sadness?
Individuals undergo different experiences as in regards to generated
karma, yes? Is not the fulfilling of karma a "good thing"? Fulfilment
means liberation and freedom, yes? Is this not a "good thing"?
How one perceives often influences on how one feels. Focusing on
the negative can cause negative reactions.
If one wishes to feel differently, one may try to perceive differently. It 
may
assist.
I sincerely hope any pain and sadness you feel will dissipate as time 
passes.
