The ability to escape the darkness of life has been a yoke around the neck of man since birth. Our lives from birth is as varied as the billions of individuals existing on this planet. We have been divided and separated by geography, culture, language, religion, and belief systems. Our perception of the world and the people around us has been influenced by all the above. Our parents, teachers, religious leaders, and those in government influenced how we perceived our faith or lack of it. They shaped our beliefs based on what we were taught in school, in church, and by the rules of society and government.
We accepted what we learned from our family, as there was no reason not to. Our parents were passing on what they had learned and believed to be correct. Unfortunately, some of us grew up in unstable homes. And what was experienced as life was passed on from one generation to the next. Yet many who come from loving homes can develop a feeling that something in life is lacking. They attempt to resolve this feeling of inadequacy through improper behavior. One can come from a loving home and perceive that they are unloved or unworthy.
There are many reasons for someone to feel bitter, angry, and hateful about how life has treated them as a child. Over time, these negative emotions fester and feed your thoughts, making your life extremely miserable. Ironically, some folks may perceive a minor life event negatively. The event will replay chronically in their mind, consuming their daily life. Creating and experiencing life in this way is not what our divine parents intended for their children.
What we must learn to remember is that we are Spiritual beings having a physical experience. We, our souls are an aspect of our divine parents manifested into the physical. We were given our own identity and God’s Free will to co-create life according to our desires. We exist so that God can discover all probabilities and possibilities within experiences, so that they can know themselves. God is not a physical form, but a vast field of energy, intelligent, conscious, and aware of itself. However, how can one know themselves without experiencing contrast, opposites, with no points of reference?
We are all extensions of this field, individualized with our own sense of identity, talents, characteristics, and emotional sensitivity. Our world is one of duality, opposites, and contrast. Everything has an opposite, such as up and down, hot and cold, and what we term good and evil.
However, there is something more important than just experience. It is how we experience life. It is living life from a state of harmony and love with our creator. God is pure love and compassion, we have free will, but with the caveat of do no harm. We are meant to create a full life while overcoming the challenges of darkness. The dark and negative events of life that get in our way. Incarnating into this world of duality results in our forgetting our divine origin. Our primary goal is to awaken to who we are and to live life accordingly.
Escape the Darkness Through Awakening
How does one escape the darkness? Part of the answer lies deep within yourself. Your mind is the builder of your life, your thoughts, words, and actions, fed by your emotions, bring it into reality. Develop a state of gratitude. Repeat to yourself throughout the day what you are thankful for: Dear God, I am thankful for my children, I am thankful for my medicine, I am thankful for my beautiful plants. Do not allow yourself to be distracted by the chaos in the world, by ego pride, or materialism. Do not be concerned with what others may think or say about you. While difficult, accept that it is they who have a problem, ask God to bless, and live your life with confidence as God intends for you.
Spirit Guides
We are not alone in this world. What is known as Spirit Guides, humans who have advanced to the fifth dimension, are part of our support system. Each of us has a primary guide who works energetically by giving us intuitive nudges or urges to follow a specific direction. Sometimes your guide can create an event in your life that appears negative, like losing your job. However, that may be necessary in guiding you to a better position.
Okay, you know you have help. But in many situations, such as this author., You have to hit rock bottom first. A point where pain and desperation is so severe you break down and ultimately call out to Jesus. When you call out to Jesus or God, do so with sincerity, and they will respond. The key is to remain aware and watch for their answers. It is not always a quiet voice in your head. It could be something as simple as words of a song, a message in a show you are watching, or being guided to a book or article. It can also be in a dream, a recurring thought, such as a strong feeling that you need to do something.
Bad Habits
Bad habits will block your progress. Many people are stuck in their misery and have difficulty breaking the chain of feeling like a victim, that the world and God are working against them. Your ego, your false self, feeds you thoughts of fear, doubt, anger, and all that’s negative. When your energy is vibrating at a low frequency of negativity, it only attracts more of the same. Some relish feeling angry; they incorrectly believe that they feel better when they have someone to blame. Blame never solves anything. It only fuels the fires of darkness through the energy of anger, hatred, and fear. Dwelling in pain and sorrow only brings more of the same.
You are a loved divine expression of God. You must fight to alter your thinking to what’s positive in your life. Focus on the little things first. It is normal to fall back to a moment of negativity. But you must respond to it with a feeling of love, or a small positive thought. Doing so minimizes any negative effect.
When you are exhausted, fearful, tired of living in pain, tired of illness, or any struggle that makes you negative. My advice is to find a quiet spot, call upon God or Jesus, talk as if speaking to a friend, tell them how lousy you feel, how bad things are. Ask them for help in letting go of all your troubles. After asking, try to think about one positive thing every day. It could be something as simple as saying, ” Wow, my rose plant is beautiful and pleasant, or my dog loves me unconditionally, I am grateful. Sounds silly, but it opens the door to feeling better when you look for the little positive things. Gratitude, which is sincere, works wonders in one’s life.
Dark Forces
Dark forces exist that feed off the energy that your negativity creates. They also work on you, telepathically placing negative or dark thoughts in your mind. From my experience, dark thoughts that life was worth nothing, as I was a failure. Fearful feelings of aloneness, that I was condemned to hell. I believe that my life was for nothing, that now all I had was old age and physical pain from my disability. Thoughts filled my head that I would be better off dead. But fortunately, something inside me fought back, allowing me to be angry because I wanted something more. I cried because I wanted a life of purpose, utility, and meaning. In desperation, I called out to Jesus, told him all that I felt. How I failed, that I fear God and condemnation because religion made me feel this way. That I desired to know God intimately but did not know how to relate, and that I desired to be of meaningful service.
Well, the answer that saved me mentally and spiritually came in a most unexpected way. I will say it now involves my ability to communicate with my spirit guide late in life.
