Real or Illusory........

Ange & Emz have now left the building, strange how different the house feels - think I am becoming more sensitive to this phenomenon - so now to get all of Mark's stuff together ready for the removal man his afternoon, what a sudden clear out mmmmm gotta be good on an energetic level.....and no denying it was an interesting observational exercise both of myself and others, it certainly highlighted my own changes in attitudes/behaviour -------all good as far as I am concerned.......I hope that they gained something from their time here, this next portion I found for her to read before she left, although I don't think she read it all - horses and water comes to mind LOL
Chasing your tales of woe - By Gillian MacBeth-Louthan
Each and everyday you are given pebbles of worry. Whether real or illusionary they land in your body as solid granules of confusion and pain. They sit heavy and you feel less buoyant and denser. Everyday you go forth and you collect more of these pebbles of worry and confusion allowing them to collect in the body anchoring you like a rusty anchor on a sunken pirate’s ship. You blindly walk through the passageways of your life entering each door, and each situation without joy only an anxiety.

You were all given programs as a child to grow up and become responsible for your actions, your world, your bills etc. In that residue of responsibility you have been stifled, choking on what you are supposed to do, gasping for fresh air and a second chance. . You walk through your mind thinking about an injustice that was done to you, a fear that was given to you, and a word that cut you to the quick. You sit abreast the merry go round of these past injustices changing horses but never getting off the emotional ride.

You walk slowly through the maze of reflections trying to figure out why someone said this, why someone did this, why you have not found your true purpose. The mirror effect is amplified by all those in your life. They give to you reference points, beginnings and endings, to monitor the temperature of your learning’s. Humanity has sat and licked their wounds not allowing that area of hurt to be healed. Continually focusing on and licking the injustices that one wears as a badge of courage Read on..........

Feelings/emotions - mind/observer - a debate held by many and one I have indulged in many a time, being a typical libra I would concede that both are needed in equality and equanimity,though to many I would appear more mind oriented --------Do you say " I feel sad/mad/bad" or "I am sad/mad/bad"
"I feel......" the observer notes and doesn't BE{come}
Feelings are lessons in the now to observe, ponder and question then put in their proper place
The use of words in our day to day living needs such close observation/attention - this attention will reveal why/what/how our life/now is manifesting
having written this I find......

After the feeling the Being

Remember, you are not your feelings. You are the one who experiences your feelings. So, if you were to let go of these, what is left is your essence, simply in the act of being.

We get so attached to our feelings that we think that we ARE our feelings. It is even in our language, when we say, “I am sad,” rather than, “I feel sad.” We think that our feelings represent the entirety of who we are.

Do you overgeneralise?

When you take something that has happened once or twice and decide that it is always this way or never that way, you are overgeneralizing
