Lesson 261: Consciousness Does Not Mean Without Pain

As we’ve been learning about the passage of the heart, it’s reinforced today that we won’t ever avoid pain. What we’ve built up is that we are more able to move in and out of pain quicker than we ever have before. We can move quickly through pain, compassion and connection. Today’s lesson is to be aware of pain that may come to you and progress it through compassion and connection in a fast manner. If you’ve been following these lessons with me, notice the difference from the start of the year to now.

I definitely know that I can deal with pain a lot better than I ever have been able to. I can even recognise the pain and aware enough to want to understand where it has come from. The challenge I have on myself is my application of compassion towards self. This is something that I sometimes miss and forget about. I do try and practise not being so hard on myself. We are always making decisions or taking actions on things that may not bring about the best outcome, and it’s forgiving those decisions we do make. I am always tell myself that it’s okay and to move along.

I will say that the connection I establish is for those that I want to be connected with. I cannot be around those that are a drain and there definitely people out there that do just that. I have worked hard in establishing good connections and try to cut out the toxicity that comes about in this world. I want to be with those that I feel truly connected with because that’s the environment I’ve built for myself. I also feel my best if I’m connecting myself spiritually through Mother Earth, through my magick or with others on similar paths. I feel energy when I’m connecting in this way. If I’m walking around my city, it’s easy to notice the disconnection between people and how I don’t feel connected with them. Is this something I need to work on? Are we meant to connect with everyone? Is this a larger pain that we need to solve through a passage of connection? Just poses more questions than answers doesn’t it?
