Invisible Dark Lightning

There's an invisible form of lightning called “Dark Lightning”
made of gamma rays and x-rays.
They have 1,000,000 times the energy of a regular bolt of lightning
and can happen most at the same level that most airplanes fly.

-Zeeshan Khalid

KEEP IT SIMPLE

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith,
we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 5:1

A psychologist friend recently told me about Cliff—
a client he described as “a believer after God’s own heart.”

After years of service to The Lord, Cliff’s wife developed aggressive cancer.
Many people joined Cliff in prayer for his wife,
but she declined rapidly and died.
Through it all, Cliff didn’t break his determined gaze upon Christ.
Instead of allowing the tragedy to shake his faith,
he allowed his experience of pain, suffering, confusion, and grief
to push him deeper into the arms of the living God.

Cliff knew two things, and held to them tenaciously.
The first was that God was good.
He didn’t understand the circumstances surrounding his wife’s sickness,
or why she had to suffer and die.
But he knew a reason resided with God,
and that he would come to understand in the light of eternity.

The second thing Cliff held to was his certainty that God loved him—
in spite of everything, no matter what, and through it all.

When you’re in severe pain or distress, life becomes pretty simple.
You’re in survival mode, and you have neither the heart nor the strength
to spread your emotional energy around.

When in pain or distress do what Cliff did:
Keep it simple.
Grab hold of what you know is true about the living God, and hold on to it.

“The nearer the dawn the darker the night.”


-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Unconscious Unworthiness:

The Hidden Roots of Feeling Unworthy
Some of us already know that we hold limiting and negative beliefs about ourselves.
These we can heal and change.
In the days when we were limited in our perception to the data
that our five senses provide, emotions were seen as something like an appendix - useless, sometimes painful,
and best removed if it becomes too inflamed.

Those days are gone.
Now that we are becoming multisensory - able to sense ourselves as souls as well as bodies,
our lives as meaningful and purposeful, and the Universe as alive, wise, and compassionate -
we are able to see the role of our emotions in our evolution.

They are messages from our souls that bring us information that is very important.

They tell us when fear is active in us and when love is active.
This enables us to create positive and wholesome experiences (by acting with love)
instead of negative and destructive experiences (by acting with fear).
In other words, awareness of our emotions allows us to create the futures we long for -
futures of harmony, cooperation, sharing,
and reverence for Life instead of discord, competition, hoarding, and exploitation.

The real problem is with the unconscious unworthy feelings we accept about ourselves
but don’t even know is there.
For example, many children were told that they were a bad boy or girl.
If these shaming statements were not offset by demonstrations of parental love,
the unconscious will link their perceived badness with their feeling unworthy of love.

This could profoundly affect the type of partner one would choose
and the likelihood of the success of the relationship.

In another example, if a child was often told that he or she will never amount to anything,
the unconscious feels unworthy of success and it will likely be harder to achieve.
Or, when achieved, it may be sabotaged because the person will unconsciously feel
that they don’t deserve it.

Unworthiness is a debilitating, chronic (to say the least), and extremely painful emotion.
It also leads directly to the root of all debilitating, chronic, and excruciating emotional experiences -
the pain of powerlessness.

Every destructive, violent (to yourself or others) emotion, is an expression of powerlessness,
and each is very painful.

Anger is painful. Jealousy is painful. So is vindictiveness, inferiority, and even superiority.

Beneath every obsessive thought, compulsive activity, and addictive behavior lies the pain of powerlessness.

You will always find it there when you have the courage to look for it.

Here is one way to explore your unconscious worthiness:
sit quietly and say to yourself, “I am a wonderful person capable of love and great success.”

Now write down all the contradicting thoughts and emotions that surface
after each time you state the affirmation.
This list of unworthy feelings can serve as a map for the healing of your unconscious.
The truth of you is that you are everything that you wish you could be.

This greatness is just covered over by the shadows of the past, just as the sun is still there on a cloudy day.

We can no longer evolve without the skill and courage to experience all of our emotions completely
and to act on the most constructive of them no matter what is happening inside of us
or what is happening outside of us.

The spiritual path is a conscious and courageous path of emotional awareness and responsible choice.

Our evolution now requires that we walk it.
