It has been often repeated that the way to spiritual healing/enlightenment is via ‘love & light’…this is at best, a half truth, and at worst, utter misdirection.
Of course, this is just my opinion. No need to agree, however experience shows the ‘New Agey’ yoga-panted approach to deep healing needs to be a bit more ‘down and dirty’ than most are led to believe.
You can definitely feel uplifted by the love and light approach, and of course that’s no bad thing. However…unless we get to the core of what needs facing, the same challenges can rise up time and again until you get to the point where they are impossible to ignore.
Because the pain and misery they’ve created just can’t be ignored.
The new age love and light approach is a little like non-alcoholic beer or diet coke. It’s somewhat fake and an illusion. At best it’s a froth on top of a tired and cold cappuccino. A poor self-rationalization of ‘doing the work’.
I also put mindless ‘positive thinking’, chanting, fake ‘law of attraction guidelines’ etc in the same basket of avoiding the stuff which really makes progress.
Don’t get me wrong…I’m all for bringing in the light. It’s just that my approach could be best termed ‘LOVE & FRIGHT!”.
Why do I say fright, I hear you say?
Because most of us will refuse to really change until we go into the ‘darkness’, which is where all our hidden and potentially frightening realizations are to be found.
Hence love and fright.
You could be frightened by an unexpected health issue, a career or financial problem, lies being uncovered, relationship or family issues…even political shenanigans.
And we should celebrate these as a real opportunity to gain deep insights into why we are causing these issues in the first place and then how to heal them and come out the other side with greater wisdom.
You may have noticed that I said ‘we’ are causing them.
Once you take 100% responsibility (response-ability) for all which happens in your life you can then start to choose a different path and thus come to the realization you have far more control over your life and circumstances than you may have previously believed.
The most effective approach I’ve personally tested (extensively) is what I call the destructive path. What I mean by this is instead of just pumping ourselves up with feel good love and light we actively go inside to shine real light on what isn’t working for us, look at it from an observer perspective and then in a new ‘now’ moment delete it out of our energy. This is true wisdom work.
Thus…when we do this light naturally comes in because our energy field no longer carries the old often painful program. Look at it like removing a virus from your computer. All is MIND is the first Hermetic natural law. It’s worth contemplating.
As is often the case what we thought frightened or terrified us, once faced, was nothing like we imagineered it to be. In fact when we give our energy to old negative beliefs they by default become our master.
Letting them go to the trash can of history whilst gaining the new wisdom they have taught us is indeed a worthy thing to do…this is the real work. The way out…is in.
As I have asked many people over the years who have been struggling with such ‘hidden’ stuff…
“What’s so good about your shit that you want to keep hold of it?”
I’ll close with this question…what is going on right now in your life which you are not only avoiding but probably frightens you?
Look there and delete whatever it is (you may need assistance to do this, and if your committed the right person/info will turn up) and you’ll find a doorway where a crack of healing light can change your experience.
Get forensic on these nagging programs as they hold the real gold. The sooner we do it the quicker we advance in our spiritual development.
Peace!
