Pain, emotions, and connection with reality!

Strong emotions come with having dealt with strong pain and trauma! To deal with the most challenging emotions one has to be able to handle the most challenging pain! Pain grounds you and give one a very strong connection with reality! Tuning out pain and the reality it represents does not produce healthy results physically or spiritually! Pain helps one know what is wrong so one can better focus on healing oneself and building up ones health and fitness. Great athletes have to be able to handle pain extremely well and be well tuned into their body as a result!

The more pain and discomfort one is able to handle while working hard to achieve ones goals the more one can achieve! We have so many serious problems in this world that cause a lot of pain in this world. It is really hard to solve really serious problems! This hardness needed to solve serious problems comes from ones ability to handle pain and difficulty well! So many people give up when the goings get tough! People of really strong spiritual character will keep going while others give up! The health and well being that comes from pushing ones self really hard and doing what it takes to become really healthy helps one to have energy under conditions in which others do not

One spiritual theories/programming needs to be such that it helps one to handle reality at its most challenging. Spiritual beliefs that are not tuned into the extreme value to us spiritually of the type of challenging physical reality we exist in is, will not help us gain the spiritual strength to deal with the challenges that lie ahead on this planet! We seriously need to mature a lot further spiritually on this planet and leave the inadequate spiritual beliefs of the past behind!

Emotions power us spiritually and can motivate us to do that which will help us achieve great things in this world and solve the serious problems that exist here. But, we need strong reality based emotions in order for this to happen. All of the complete spectrum of emotions have a role to play Demonizing some emotions and putting others on a pedestal does not help us tune into reality well and make the most of all of the valuable emotions that exist. One must be angry about(hate) a lot of what is wrong in this world and love making this world a better place in order to do ones part to make our future on this planet a lot better/healthier! One must fear negative results, so as to be motivated to bring about positive results! Handling the hard emotions related to serious problems can be extremely rough and painful at time, but ne can not solve problems one can not face extremely well!

Trauma, denial, distortion of reality and projection of ones flaws on others and outside world.

We live in a world full of all sorts of #abusive behavior some directed toward others and by lashing out at the outside world(society). Some people indulge in reckless behavior; others in bad eating habits or harmful #drug #addictions. Collectively groups of people will get #angry and irrational and often countries will be propelled by this #anger to lash out at other country militarily without first coolly evaluating how to rationally work out their differences. In a world like this trauma will occur an awful lot with the psychological problems that come with it. The cycle of #abuse will continue as the #trauma even when healed physically will often leave #psychological scars and the #denial that comes with not wanting to face the deep #emotions that come with them. This denial and the distortion of reality that comes with it leads to a continuation of abusive behavior in this world. We all are abusive to some degree,since no one is perfect! But, we have a very high level of abusive behavior on this spiritually backward planet that needs to be addressed in order for us to develop the spiritual maturity to deal with the intense problems that living in a very technological advance world presents to us!

    Our spiritual programming determines how well we are able to face reality at its most challenging! If we have spiritual beliefs that tune of out of or devalue part of the reality we exist in, we will weaken our ability to tune into and cope with this reality. Seeing reality from all sides and angles is not easy to do! People often like to see only the part of reality that they are comfortable with based on where they are at psychologically and the impact of past trauma on them. One can not heal and grow further spiritually if one does not face ones flaws and the spiritual theories one has that tend to be supportive of the view of reality ones currently accepts. When ever one spiritually distorts reality one will suffer self abuse and also will be abusive of others. One can feel really justified in being abusive as a result of the denial that becomes part of ones psychology and spiritual state of being.
     One can not advance further spiritually if one is not willing to see ones spiritual/psychological problems and the #spiritual theories that underpin them. If one is locked into some spiritual beliefs as a result of them being supportive of the state of denial that comes with not facing and healing the spiritual/emotional impact of past trauma, it can be quite difficult to advance to a healthier level spiritually! When someone tries to reach these people with the strong spiritual energy and spiritual theories required to help them to heal they will often lash out at that person no matter how rational their presentation is. Irrationality and the distortion of reality is often part of those who have suffered abuse or trauma and not healed psychologically from it. Arrogance and an inability to face ones spiritual shortcomings is what prevents people from being receptive to the type of spiritual help they need. One can not help someone spiritually until they feel that they could benefit from such help. Often it takes a really challenging situation in their life and the hard lessons that come with it to get people to really see their shortcomings and want to spiritually #heal and improve their understanding of reality in a way that will prevent future hard lessons of the same type from happening again!
     The truth is most often in the complicated middle and requires one is able to see things from many angles and sides. One can through really challenging spiritual #meditation type training gain a stronger spiritual grip on reality and enable one to better handle the pain/struggle that often comes with getting more of a grip on reality and the truth that comes with this. #Pain is part of life and must be faced in order to gain more spiritual maturity and connection with reality. Once one has obtained an ability to handle a heavier dose of reality, then one will develop the #intuition required to sense which people are reliable/serious sources and thus become better at determining what sources are unreliable or not solid enough or have a feel to them that do not gibe with your sense of how #reality actually works.
