Dealing With Trauma

This world is a jarring place.

We endure physical and mental trauma.

When confronted with our own fear or anger, we either give into it or attempt to suppress it.

Expressing negative emotion is equivalent to the release of destructive forces in the causal and spirit worlds.

Repression of negative emotion allows it to fester within. The mind/body suffers and eventually the emotion is acted upon, usually in a destructive manner.

It is not healthy to dwell on negative thoughts or sadness.

It is best to acknowledge the feeling, but don't give in to it. Training your mind to control your reaction, to act not react, is a first step toward mastering not only yourself, but asserting your mastery over the realm of cause and effect.

If you find yourself overwhelmed by physical or emotional trauma, that is a level of emotion where the light has been drained from your mind. In this lowered state of consciousness, you are not capable of rational thought and you cannot make good decisions. Realizing that your perception is more faulty than usual, you must refrain from making permanent decisions to deal with a temporary problem. The solution here is time. Let time pass and pain subside before you decide on any life changes.

A bad decision here can impact the rest of your life. If you need to, see a therapist before you decide to cut people out of your life, or close any doors that you may not be able to open again.

Given a few days many problems tend to miraculously resolve.

When you are in deep pain, have faith that God has a plan. Sometimes you are being led to your destiny.

The world is full of trauma and it was caused by trauma, the rending apart of your mind. The road back to wholeness must be jointly undertaken by the higher and lower mind. Trust must be developed before the mind can be healed. This is a journey we are all making.
