delara, interrupted

Dearest D-lara,

I read your blog and we did chat over lunch about it alittle but at some point I went back because I wanted to read it again thinking more about how it relates to my personal life and the twists and turns in my head as well...

One thing I found interesting from what you said about "the mind's reality" is where you related the "adverse affects" to a bottle of medication and how it states that "If you experience any adverse reactions, stop use of this medication immediately and consult your physician."

The part that I feel holds the most weight for me in that statement as I look into my head is "consult your physician" because I couldn't help but relate that to the "Divine Physician", Baha'u'llah. So consult Him. First and foremost.

And as i thought about the part where you felt like no matter how much you forgave this person, it didn't seem to matter and that WAS the "reality", I took a look at myself and thought about that feeling because I know it well and how much I followed it leading me through paths that left me confused and hurt and isolated. And the biggest block in my head was "Why am I hurting all the time??? Why is life so easy and fair for everyone else?" I love this person but I'm tired of getting abused!!! I simply could NOT understand why things were happening to me...But as my life turned in directions "not brought by me":) I had no other choice (that would require living) but to turn to and trust in God. The deepest part about this is how one applies that trust or faith in God on a daily basis without letting the "adverse affects" push us away from our center.

For those who may ask:

Center- the most natural, safest, strongest and healthiest place a person can be in on this earthly plain mentally, physically and spiritually.....I'n my opinion:)

The Writings are beautiful. Because they bring understanding to not only our personal life but life in general. And there just isn't anything like understanding WHY things happen to you. And when you begin to understand why, you are better equipped to handle life because your center becomes deeper and broader and it becomes more difficult for outside forces like close friends and family (people who affect you the most) to remove you from it. And that trust and faith in God lets you continue to love, but from a safer and healthier place where you can keep your center as the main priority in life...

I think that is heading towards an area seldom travelled in this world which is a spiritual reality.. This Path is too difficult for most people and God assures us that we will suffer on this Path...But He also promises us that if we have Faith in Him, we can be truly happy, which is what we wanted in the first place.

My two cents:)

luv u
