Guest guest Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Pain is simply a signal ... Signal to become alert, ....signal to pay attention, ...to wake up, ...to stay awake, alert and watchful! It is an essential quality and it plays a crucial role. Understood well, ...the pain deserves respect and thank you. It is simply saying either to look at something which is out of order or it is working keep the bodymind alert and wakeful to help it survive ... .. .... ..... Humanity has evolved through ages, It has lived in jungles full of predators, ...some of whom hunt in the dark of the night. Fear, anxiety in those situations have worked tirelessly to keep a body alert, awake and watchful through the night. They have flooded the body with hormones and have made in pinch, hurt, prick at different points ...they have made it RESTLESS. ....because, resting would have been too dangerous, ...sleeping might have been life-terminating. In a way, fear and anxiety ...have saved the humanity and enabled it survive and continue ....!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 But, now we are using the same intelligent and necessary facility to the extreme. We keep creating fear and anxiety in places and times where, it is Not al all Needed. In fact, we use it in the places where the opposite of fear would work much better and wonderfully. We have made fear the central, pivotal point of our thinking and have started imagining fear far beyond its need ... We have got too attached to fear and have forgotten to use many other beautiful, divine facilities that the nature has endowed us with .... The body is only following our orders. Now, we have started to become afraid ...All the Time! We use fear for things. I am afraid, ...I might lose this, that, I might lose x, y, z. But, even more, ...we have started using to fear even for things that don't exist. We have started using it for ...Mental Phantoms ! First we create an imaginary mental image of `me' that exists Nowhere but in our imagination, and, then, we say, ...I am afraid, I might lose this image. The body-brain still trusts our wisdom and being the obedient servant it is, ...it does what it should do in response to fear !! It drops burning hormones in blood, sends pain signal to the body. It makes the entire body ...RESTLESS, unsteady, uneasy and made it impossible for it to really relax or ...be at peace ! It does what it must do to make sure that it doesn't rest. A restless, uneasy state that MUST be maintained as long as the fear is still there. ....and, because, we have started generating these fear signal for both `imaginary' and `un-imaginary' things All the Time, ...we have been successful in being restless, uneasy, un-relaxed, troubled ...All the Time! We have started using an intelligent facility of bodymind to create a Living Hell for us... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 A live wound keeps throbbing ... It simply keeps sending reminder that it hasn't still cured and ...it needs continued care and Protection. If the person was to fall asleep and not feel anything, ...the found and blood and smell from it can easily attract flies, mosquitoes and vultures and making it much harder to cure. If a person, even woke up little later, ...he/she might have become too powerless to do anything about it. It might be already too late ...! As such, pain serves a greatly essential purpose. Pay attention, observe and take care and ...it would go away. .. .... ...... Same can work for Mental pain as well. See, ..it Clearly. Accept, ...it is There. See, ...why it is there. How it got created. See, ...what purpose it is serving. See, ...what it is pointing to. What is ... " Out Of Order " . Used this way, ...it can offer you the path to Freedom. But, here, people do two things ... First, they often Blindly, unconsciously create it, ....and, then in place of clearly looking at it, examining it, going to its roots they either simply try to suppress it or try to `escape' from it ...in thoughts, imagination or ...other things. Only this unconsciousness allows this cycle to continue ... ...... .... .. Otherwise, pain is just a friend serving its role faithfully. You do your role, ...accept it, pay attention to it, understand it, examine it and the pain will subside to live you with ...Freedom, that ever IS ... Peace, that ever IS ...
