Guest guest Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Sat Nam, Brenda, I can truly empathize with you. I feel I don't belong here and wonder why I am still here. I'm thinking I am here to create a joyful life, not a life full of obstacles, which I have had up until now. I realize it is not what happens to us, but how we react to what happens -- that determines that paths we take. Betty Sat Nam, Sadhana K. Oh, can I relate to your student. I too, have felt like I don't belong here. Truly, there are days I am glad I'm alive and here and there have been times I wish I wasn't. I have felt the alienation, but I am learning to deal with it. The more I learn about myself, the stronger I become. I do not want to believe that I chose to come here, however, the reality is that I did. I remember being a child (around 5 yrs old) growing up in chaos and thinking that I don't belong here. I cannot cope and I am falling apart. I had to stop and remember/remind myself (and still remember my remembering) that I came from the "Kingdom of Heaven". This was how I got grounded and could press on. This is truly astounding because we were raised with no belief in God. I try to remember my incarnation and I know that many teachings say we volunteered so our souls could learn and grow. However, I think I had to be coached into coming and I only did it for the love of God and/or perhaps because it was God's will. There are many other things I could say, but I'm not sure what is appropriate here in the E-mails and what isn't. I'm sure whatever feedback you get for your student will probably help me also. Thank you, Brenda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 In regards to feeling that you don't belong on the planet Earth, when you meditate and go into the silence you begin to experience your true self and your higher self gives you your identity and purpose. This is what I open myself up to in yoga, I feel such ecstacy. I'm not saying I haven't felt low despair but it is my trust in divine guidance that I turn to in these times. Not a Guru, not anything but my higher self/mother/father/God. Elaine _______________ Don’t just search. Find.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 I carry a lot of pain with me since childhood and most likely from past lives. I am working with whatever modalities that are available to raise my energy and consciousness, to help me become more aware of what is out there (and in here) for me. Thank you for your insight, Blessings Padmani In regards to feeling that you don't belong on the planet Earth, when you meditate and go into the silence you begin to experience your true self and your higher self gives you your identity and purpose.
