great job!
on accepting the invitation
the shift that you’re making to see this pain
as your initiation
is bigger than you think.
.
because the way to the end of pain
requires of you to see it
not as an obstacle
but as the way
to finding
your power.
.
power
by definition is
is the ability
to create change.
.
thus your power
is your ability to create change
first within yourself
which will effectively
create change in the world
around you.
.
and when you can change yourself
and the world around you
into what your heart and soul desires
you are essentially
making magic.
.
because magic is making
something
out of nothing.
magic is taking your airy visions and dreams
and turning them into concrete reality.
.
so essentially
you’re accepting the invitation from pain
to honor it as your teacher
as your path
to doing the great work
of getting to know yourself
to master yourself
to become the magician
or master or mistress
of your destiny
.
tldr:
the path to ending your pain
is the same path to finding your power
is the same path to mastering yourself
is the same path to realizing your innermost desire
.
so how do you do it
how you find your path forward
in this intense pain portal
and become the magician/mistress
of your dreams and visions?
.
well i just started working on this
for you
.
( this page feels incomplete, there’s more to write here about accepting the initiation, something about your soul’s work, ego is what makes the pain feels worse, if you strip the ego…)
(end of thought, everything below are scraps, possibly create a new page for them)
every magician is in touch with their soul’s urge and desire.
.
if you don’t know what your heart’s desire is and soul’s urge
then get to know your pain
ask it, why is it there?
…
to get intimate
with yourself
.
you’re about to get to know your true self
your boundaries
your edges
your heart’s desire
your soul’s urge
every pain is so distinct
physical chronic pain
the pain of heartbreak
the pain of taking care of your aging parents
the pain of losing your parent
the pain of losing a loved one to suicide
the pain of losing your beloved in a tragic accident
the pain of being cyberbullied
the pain of being outed and betrayed
the pain of watching so many innocent people suffer and die in the hands of corruption
every time you experience a different type of pain
it’s like you’re being admitted into a new club
and only those who’ve faced that ordeal and earned their place in the club can understand your pain
you and everyone in that club has the potential to heal themselves and each other through the telling of their story and collected wisdom
on
how to heal
from the worst days of our lives
and spin it around
and make it the best thing that could’ve happen to us
.
you may wonder how can the most fucked up and worst thing that happened to you
be the best thing that happened to you?
.
there’s a seed of that potential in every painful experience
it’s when you ask yourself
how do i make the most of this pain?
what can be learned and gained from these unusual circumstances
that you can’t in any other way?
.
if you see pain as a portal
you know that you’re moving through this
even when you feel suck, lost, and tired
that movement is not measured in tangible ways
like how far you’ve come or what you’ve created or done
it’s measured by how
