PATHWAY TO JOY AND HEALING

How do you know if you are living in an illusion?  Our egos create illusions in our life as a coping mechanism, since we can’t face our reality as it may be too painful.  This illusion is repeated over and over again with different people we select throughout our soul lives.  Having lived in an illusion for my entire soul life, I will share what I have discovered about illusions.

When we create our illusion, it is analogous to choreographing a play.  We play the leading man or woman, and we play a certain role based on our soul’s emotional history, such as victim, rescuer, etc.  We select our cast of characters based on whether they will go along with our illusion.  Those who do not agree with our illusion will be cast as mortal enemies or bad guys in this play.  These selected characters may be romantic partners or not, but what is in common is that they continue to perpetuate our illusion.

How do we know that we live in an illusion or in reality?  There is a common thread.  Beneath the perfection that we perceive about our relationships and life situations, there exists repressed pain.  The illusion is that we have convinced ourselves that these relationships and life situations are perfect for us.  How do we know about this pain if it is repressed?  The answer is that when we interact with these actors in our play or illusion, there is this underlying physical or emotional pain that we feel in our bodies.

Many people manifest this pain in physical ailments and mental imbalances and disorders.  Are you constantly going to the doctor for medical problems or are you constantly in emotional crisis such as depression or sadness?  These are the signs that something is amiss.  There is an inherent negative dynamic with our cast of characters we have chosen for our play because they are “bad” boys or girls, they are married, they are in love with another, they abuse us physically or emotionally, etc.

We will always wake up from our illusions because this play is a tragedy. In every tragedy, there is a sad ending for the leading character.  We try to change the ending of the play each time, but the same tragic outcome results. Our egos want to blame the other characters for this outcome, but in truth, we have hand-selected these actors ourselves as the choreographer of this play.

Things end badly for us as the main character because these plays or illusions are our life lessons. It is up to us to understand our life lessons, so that we no longer repeat the same tragic play throughout our soul lives.  May you realize your life lessons, Brooke (Copyright 2013 Kundalini Spirit with All Rights Reserved)
