When we start to become conscious of our reality, everything changes - everything. Dysfunctional systems and sub-conscious beliefs that are running our life begin to challenge us. They turn up in our life as people, situations, addictions and illnesses. If we ignore them, they become more dominant in our life - whether we are conscious of it or not.
When we are on this conscious path, we learn that there are beliefs that would be beneficial to change and unhealthy situations to step out of. However, sometimes it can be extremly frustrating, challenging and depressing when we don't know what these beliefs are that are holding us in our patterns - yet we know they are running our life. An example would be one who is living a healthful 'spiritual' life and we attract a partner who is abusive, or we are in a work situation where abusive employers or co-workers are prominant. Maybe we have an illness. Or perhaps the same 'problem' is a reoccuring event in our lives that follows us no matter where in the world we go, manifesting in different forms, people and situations - yet it is the same issue.
When we first choose to walk the conscious way, everything is rosy and great. Then it seems to get worse. We begin to have questions like 'Why on earth am I on this path?', 'What am I doing with my life?' We can get depressed seeing others going about life 'just fine' and 'not having any trouble in the world' or 'dealing with any issues'. They seem happy and content, getting on with life just great. If you feel this way, know that you are only getting closer to the Light. As you begin to shift out of your 'coping mechanisms' you have shed light on what is hiding the unresolved pain, hurt and suffering that has been 'covered up' for perhaps many years. Know that it is coming up - to be transformed - to allow you to finally feel these emotions that have been bottled up, pushed aside and forgotten. These are your subconscious beliefs that are running your life.
These situations and experiences are all part of the Divine plan. They are all gifts that turn us towards the Light. They are giving us the opportunity to become more of who we are. As we become willing to receive the help we seek, we unravel the barriers and learn how to fill our life up with healthy ways of being. This is the answer to our silent prayers - our dream of a better life.
