Guest guest Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Where to begin? I'm not sure. How it will end? I'm not sure. Are there others who feel the same way I do out there? I'm not sure. Do I need healing? Absolutely! About two years ago… I thought my healing work was done and I was good to go… guess I was wrong! I was told I have an energy block… but I just don't know what it is. Maybe it's mid-life crisis. Maybe I'm just having a bad day. However, my bad days are more frequent lately and I'm getting tired of asking " God " and my guides for help… and not seeming to get any response. (or at least not the responses I'm hoping for… actually it feels like I'm being ignored.) I've specifically asked for a true spiritual experience so that I can KNOW… not " assume " (based on the experiences of others) that it's all real…. this spiritual reality that we conjure up in our minds. I've begun to question EVERYTHING. I don't understand the purpose of all of this now more than ever. What I do know… is that I can't take it anymore. If something doesn't change… if something " positive " doesn't happen in my life soon… I'm going to crack and give up. I will take myself out of the game. You know… sometimes I feel so fake… like such a fraud. I try so hard to inspire and encourage others to happiness… when inside I feel so very sad and lonely. I tell others to " believe " … when I'm not sure just WHAT to believe in anymore myself! (I'm actually already a member of HH… I just rejoined under a different name so this post can remain anonymous. I would be so embarrassed if you knew who I really was!) My brain hurts from listening to everyone else's assumptions and chatter of what life is about… what God and Spirit is. Why we are here, where we are headed, what we are here to learn and where we are going… everyone has a something to say about these questions and more! Me? I don't know and can't really answer that honestly… so I won't even try! I speak of things and talk of things… what my assumptions are regarding the true nature of spirituality… but in reality I'm really not 100% positively sure. Why do we say we KNOW… when really we don't. It's like there are too many people wanting and talking about too many things all at once. Life / time is going too fast and it's too confusing. There are too many signs, advertisements, commercials, emails, texts, phone calls, conversations, groups, businesses, news reports…. people… all grasping for the attention (energy) of others, you and me. I think of the enormity of it all… and again, my brain hurts. I put my hands over my ears sometimes and just beg for silence. I put my hands over my eyes and beg not to see anymore. It's too overwhelming. I don't have to put my hands over my mouth… because I usually don't speak my mind much. I'm more a listener…. not a talker. (although you wouldn't know it from this message!) I AM a thinker though. But I don't usually share my thoughts… out of fear of judgment and ridicule. I simply just go with the flow. I've battled with personal and social depression all my life. I'm like a sponge when it comes to the sadness in the world. So I try not to watch news anymore… it just upsets me and sinks me deeper. War, death, famine, oil, poverty, gas prices, greed, politics, corruption, abuse and mother nature fighting back… people rising against people for what they feel is right… and what other's feel is wrong. Over population… or over spending on death and destruction… greed and manipulation… are we all MAD? I was a Christian for 25 years and then my awakening came. I left religion… with a touch of anger and betrayal. But who is to blame really? No one. I've read all the spiritual and self help books… and I know what they say. Dr. Wayne Dyer, Ruiz, Shakti Gawain, Sanaya Roman, Stuart Wilde, Neal Walsh, Deepak Chopra, Bruce Moen, Doreen Virtue, Choquette, , Sankara Saraman, LaUna Huffines, Paramahansa Yogananda, and A Course in Miracles. I've read them all. I'm getting to the point where I'm tired of trying to read myself to my own salvation. I've already done it all. I've tried it all. I've been inspired and changed for a bit…. but life always has a way of bringing you back to square one after the newness of it all wears off a bit. I feel like there is a battle going on somewhere that I can't see… for my attention and faith. The duality that lives within me is sometimes too much to bear. On one side I'm loving, caring and hopeful. On the other I'm down, depressed and hopeless. On one side I'm a mother, daughter and wife. On the other side I'm a woman with regrets, different dreams and desires than motherhood and marriage. How does one balance the duality within? Actually, I've probably read it already… but how do I apply it? I desire to meditate more and focus more on peace… but my life is too busy, the bills to big, and the days too short for me to keep up. Something always gets in the way. I feel like I'm sugar coating my life with positive quotes, messages and stories… that really do nothing for me… except inspire me just a little. I want something to HAPPEN in my life. Something extraordinary and earth-shattering that will change me at the core of my being. Something so profound that I can't ignore it. Something that will help me accept and love myself for who and what I am regardless of where I've been or where I'm going. Something that will help me find my gift(s)… whatever it may be. (Did God forget to give me one? As I can't do much of anything. I have no special talents!) Something that will allow me to find inner confidence and high self-esteem… something that will make me shine for once in my life. I watch others shine and wish I could do the same. Because of my childhood… the way I was raised… I've always been more on the negative side of life. That is what I was taught. I won't bore you with the grisly details… but I didn't have a happy childhood at all… and that has carried over to my adulthood. (Forgiveness is not an issue as I have already forgiven those who hurt me in my past… I know that they " knew not what they do " . I knew it was a chain of abuse that needed to be broken and I did so.) I dream of the way I would like to be… and the way I would like my life to be… but I never even come close to creating it. I just don't know how to put it into action. It all feels so foreign to me. It's like I'm always reaching… and the harder I reach… the further it pulls away. I work too much and always have. I work 3 jobs part-time. I have a regular job ( paycheck), which I don't like much (actually it's a job I did 15 years ago… and now I'm back at square one again! So in my eyes… I've accomplished nothing career wise in my life)… as I try to build my next dream business on the side. And another independent rep side job that I do on the side to earn a little extra money on the side… which actually seems to just take money from me. When all I really want to do is to work my dream full-time and let go of the jobs I don't like. However, financially I can't. As each day ticks by… years now…. I feel the dream slipping away again. Another failure? I like to call my work (my project / website / dream business) my own form of therapy…. because through it I'm trying to inspire myself and make myself feel better too. But it's not working. Actually nothing seems to work anymore. I already know and fully understand what everyone says… " that I must change my thoughts " ! But how does one do that when you are bombarded with negative thoughts, images and experiences all day… every day? I try… and it works for a day or two. Then something bad will happen… I imagine it as the universe slamming me with a baseball bat to the head that sets me 20 steps farther behind than where I was before. And this happens over and over and over and over again. Two steps forward.. 10 steps back. Every time I take a few steps forward… I get excited and think, " Wonderful! Things are beginning to look up! " …. then BAM! Here's another hit to set you back again to square ONE… except it's now beginning to feel like negative square -1,000. At the same time, I watch the success of others, which just brings my failures to light even more. I'm getting so far into this black hole now… I think I just may disappear or explode all together. What makes me feel worse is the fact that now I can see how I'm a black hole to everything I touch. Especially a financial black hole! I've been in three long term relationships… married twice (the first time at 16) and have all my relationships in debt … trying to figure out what I'm supposed to do with my life. I carry that guilt around with me every day. What I'm supposed to BE. I create business on top of business… to try to make my mark in the world… to BECOME something / someone. But I just keep failing. I'm tired of failing… I don't want to fail anymore. I would like to know what success feels like. I want to pay all my debts back and gain the feeling of giving instead of taking all the time. My kids are 22 (depressed all the time), 19 (high all the time) and 8 (depressed all the time). (Obviously depression runs in my family… but WHY????? Where is it coming from???) I driving my husband nuts because I'm sad and crying all the time. I was " told " by a couple of psychic people that I'm " supposed to be a healer " . It was sprung on me out of the blue a few years ago. What am I supposed to do with that info… except take a couple of classes and read a couple of books on how to be one? I don't FEEL like a healer… maybe an extremely wounded healer. If I was supposed to be a healer or a channel, as I was also told (… ya right!) wouldn't God have just made me that way at birth? Wouldn't I KNOW I am one? I lack the confidence and self-esteem that's needed for that anyway… and I don't know how to gain it or remedy it. And how do you just say the next day, `Hey… I'm a healer! " . Channel? How do you decipher you thoughts from channeled thoughts? I wouldn't DARE try to channel to help someone… I'm a mess! So again, I fail. Most days I feel invisible. My family is not close (which I don't know how to fix)…. I don't have very many friends at all… and I usually feel quite alone in this world. I just can't seem to really CONNECT with others on any level what-so-ever. I live in a New England state that's full of religion… but lacking in spirituality! There's no one to talk to here… and if there is… I can't find them! And even if I could find them… I don't have TIME. So I carry on alone in my interests / beliefs. I feel so disconnected from others it's not funny. (I was brought up an only child… although I do have siblings – but I never lived with them. I was abandoned by my father and given up for adoption.) I watch people laugh, have fun and be what seems to be happy…. And wonder why I can't be that way too? Why is my life so riddled with sorrow and unhappiness? Why can't I at least FAKE it? Why did God make me so different? Why was I born to this family? What's wrong with me? Why can't I enjoy life or have fun? What happened along the way? I wish I would fall down, bang my head and wake up somebody else! As far back as I can remember… I've felt that I don't belong here. I'm on the wrong planet… I'm in the wrong place. It's a world that's just to harsh for me…. Or I'm too kind-hearted for it. I'm too sensitive, quiet, and caring in a world that's noisy, careless and just doesn't give a shit. " Get over it " … is all I hear. Chaos is all I see. I'm tired of it. Yet I feel I've been put here just to observe it all. Observe… and try not to judge any of it… and let it just BE. Like I was given a life… that I can't freely live… just watch. The duality in life is something that I can see all too clearly. Each day I'm shown a new level of duality that reaches far beyond this Earth plane… and I think to myself, " It will never end. " Belief is the biggest game of duality… positive and negative. What to believe in? Everyone has an answer to offer… but what's true for me? I can't believe in something if I haven't EXPERIENCED it. Faith was blown out of the water when I woke up and realized religion is a sham. I was told over and over to just have faith and believe… yet was slapped in the face with the reality that religion is false too. So now I demand to see, hear and feel before I believe anything. Trust was lost. Part of me feels like this is just a pity party… yet at the same time… it's a cry for help. The thoughts that enter my mind are scary. I wonder if it's me… or do I have help? Is there a negative black cloud above my head that follows me? Just how will I do it? Pills, razor, rope, exhaust fumes, falling from something very high or a combination? I wonder what I will write to my children and my husband before I go. What will I say besides " I'm sorry " ? I just feel that they would be so better off without me. I feel more like a heavy burden to myself and them anyway. Maybe if I were not here… that cloud of doom and gloom that constantly follows me would be removed from their lives and they can get on with a happier life. These are the thoughts that run through my head on a bad depression day. I know I should be on meds… but don't really want to take meds… as I've tried them twice before. In the meantime, I eat badly and pray for a heart attack. I figure heart problems run in my family…. I'll just follow in the footsteps laid before me. What is wrong with me? I know what I should do… but can't seem to bring it about. I feel trapped… waiting to be released. I feel stuck, like I've experienced all that I was supposed to, that I'm not allowed to be successful or happy… that brick wall is there that won't let me proceed beyond it. Where's the dynamite that I need to blow the wall away? Then again, maybe I'm just being lazy and don't want to " work " for that release? But isn't that what I've been doing and had done? I'm tired of trying so hard. Part of me feels that it all lies in my ability to reconnect with meditation… yet I don't feel worthy to meditate anymore. I'm too filled with sorrow, anger, regrets and general unhappiness. I'm angry at myself for having to start all over again and again and again… just like everything else in my life. The same lessons over and over and over. Why can't I just get it? CHANGE… is not easy to incorporate. So why post all this inner turmoil on Humanity Healing? Because I want to know if God's love is REAL. I want to know if it's ALL real! Or just tricks of the mind. In 39 years I don't think anyone has ever prayed for me. I've never asked anyone to pray for me. I want to know if this positive energy that we all speak of is a powerful as we claim it to be. I need to heal the root cause of all of this… but I don't know how. I want to experience the feeling of a miracle in my life… and I'm sure there are many others out there who desire the same. So is there anyone out there who can pray for me? Could you? Pray that this negative block in my life be removed. That I can become a shining light for others, share and give back in confidence and joy… instead of always being the one who's silently in need… holding it all inside. I want to see for myself if I feel any difference or have an " experience " of some kind that I can call God's loving energy being shown and present in my life. I wish I knew how I let things get this bad inside. Like I said, I KNOW what I'm supposed to be thinking and dwelling on… yet just the opposite invades my mind. Control the mind? Can it be controlled? Mine seems to have a life of its own! As I sit back and witness it! Where do I find the steering wheel inside of me? Where's the gas pedal for positive flow and the brakes for negative invasion? I just don't get it. My mother always said I was stupid. And I'm so sorry I'm not stronger. ~Anonymous PS...
