Yesterday, I had one of my chicks who was no more than 2 days old die, after its Mum rejected it and attacked it. Injuring it pretty badly
I tried giving it to a friend to help it, and it survived the first day, but unfortunately it passed the following day
I can say, that I understand that this is just the reality of how life is
I can say, that I did my best, and that it was not my fault
But there is pain within this regardless. There is regret for things I could have done differently
Whether I feel it, or choose to allow myself to feel it. The pain is real
From this, I have decided that I will try to minimise the amount of chicks that this particular Mumma bird is allowed to have in future
To try prevent her from rejecting any of them
This is a fear (of future), which is enacted by a pain (of the past)
They may seem like very small things. But they exist, and they are active processes of how the conscious mind works
Their effect on me may be very slight emotionally, to the point of seeming inconsequential ...
But if there was not pain, I would not have tried to save the chick. If there was not fear, I would not make considerations about what I could have
done differently, to better handle the situation in future
The pain, no matter how slight, gave me a fear perspective of the future, which has changed the way I think and relate to the world around me
For the purposes of not repeating in future, the things which caused me pain once
This is just the first example that came to my head. I could think of countless, if needed
Very real examples of pain and fear, which occur in every day life, and affect the alignment of the soul in ways much deeper than most people
realise
It is not as simple as saying "I do not have pain", or "I do not fear"
All this means is that you have a shell which has not quite been fully cracked open yet
Do not get me wrong, there is virtue within things like strength, courage and control over your emotions
Do not think I am disputing that you are being honest in everything you say, because I am not
I have stood almost exactly where you are, in terms of things like pain and fear. I understand you are presenting your emotional self genuinely
All I am saying, is that the purpose of examining the pain of past, and your fears of future, is not to prove that you have dealt with these things,
or have control of them, or lack them in any way
It is exactly the opposite
It is to understand and acknowledge their process within you
It is to understand the nature of what they are
It is to recognise these things, within the world around
Because within understanding their nature, we become more and more attuned to how they help to evolve us both within both our spiritual and physical
forms
There are many people in this world (not referring to you), who believe that being in control of ones pain and fear, means burying the emotional
reactions associated within the passing of one to the other
This can work amazingly for a long time, until it doesn't
You are right that there is an inner strength in putting away, ignoring, or choosing not to acknowledge things which cannot be controlled or
changed
But regardless of how small and insignificant these types of things may seem, they create blockages within our light body
"Putting things away in a box" is how we repress things
And I understand that it is very effective
I worked as a bouncer for many years, and I could honest say, that I had felt little fear, even for things such as death
But I came to discover, it was not because these things did not exist within me
It is because I had become so adept at controlling my emotions, that I had been numbed to all but the most horrendous of pain and fear
When I started working, I would get scared within dangerous situations, or having to fight with someone
At the end of my time working as a bouncer, I would wake on an entire group of people myself, with nothing more than rage for the fact they were
making me do something I did not want to do (I do not like violence, though I seem to be good at it when needed)
I was so in control of my emotions, that I would be more annoyed with the fact that I needed to feel anger
That I had to to feel anything but content apathy
I was not depressed. I was not a bitter or nasty person. For the most part, I was a happy and well liked person
Who would get annoyed when I had to assert myself, or people would try take advantage of my good nature
Emotional control is something that is explicitly linked within drug abuse, that I know as well as anyone who has gone down that path for a prolonged
period of time
Emotional disassociation and apathy is not something that necessarily needs be linked to depression, or a negative mindset
One of the happiest and genuinely loving and well-liked people I know, also suffers from one of the deepest emotional disassociation I have ever
seen
She will sometimes feel nothing, when she should be feeling things like deep emotional pain, or fear
Other times, she will cry over the simplest little thing, without being fully aware of why she is even crying
This is what I mean by your shell has not quite been cracked yet
Bleeding light is one thing, and it is amazing
But learning to control its flow, should be the ultimate goal
This involves being intimately aware of, and in tune with not only the processes of your pain and fear, no matter how slight these things may be
But the processes within those around you
In much the same way that people are able to "see your light"
Your goal should be to train yourself to "see their pain"
Because within such, the light you shine finds a course and purpose
If you have nothing discernible that you can feel you need work on ...
Then look to examine small processes in your daily life, like the one I mentioned with my baby bird
The more you study the interactions, the more they will become obvious in how other people act around you
Till eventually, you will begin to understand how people are feeling and why they are feeling that way, intuitively
To a point that they themselves may not be aware of
Think of it like a muscle that you exercise
Combined with certain other exercises, like pattern recognition within language, and bi-directional (non-linear) thinking ...
It will get to the point where within certain conversations, you will be able to predict exactly what a person is going to say
I speak with people, and I think their answers in my head, before they speak them out loud
It is not because I am psychic. But because I have been practicing reading emotional cause and effect, constantly, for many years now
It even works in the opposite, where you are able to emotionally "steer" someone
But I will not get into that here, other than to say, that if you practice it enough, there are situations where you do not even need to "try" to
emotionally align with the person you are talking to
You will do it without meaning to, like an instinct
This is the key to emotional projection. That allows you to not only project your light, but control exactly how and where it goes ...
And to what effect
Again, it is like exercising a muscle
The first steps of which, are recognising the patterns of cause and effect, within things like emotional reflection and interaction
