Student Q&A with Guy on "Break Through the Barrier of Any Pain that Seems Too Great to Bear" (12/9/22)

  • Posted: Saturday, December 10, 2022
  • Meeting: Friday, December 9, 2022

  • Duration: 16min 2sec

Topics Covered
  • Everything in creation is being acted upon by that which is greater so that it can be brought into the greater whole.
  • Every creation is made more resilient by forces that might seem to oppose it or work against its own best interests.
  • Negative reactions gather associated thoughts that justify those reactions.
  • Useless suffering does not exist outside of the consciousness that creates it. The suffering is not caused by something outside of you.
  • The pressure of any moment, its pain, is in direct proportion to the amount of resistance that meets it.
  • Disturbances serve to reveal the consciousness that resists those disturbances.
  • Psychologically speaking, what we are really overwhelmed by is the continuous avoidance of pain, not the appearance of the pain itself.
  • It is your responsibility to use the pain you are given for the purpose of transcending yourself and the nature that is pained.
  • There dwells in the dark of our unconsciousness nature that which cannot bear being aware of itself in an unwanted moment.
  • You cannot change the pain you are in, but you can change your relationship to it.
  • We must learn to bear our own painful manifestations until the true purpose of that pain is revealed, understood, and fulfilled.
  • What you call the pain of your life is not yours. It is the pain of being given a life, and it has a purpose beyond what the pain understands.
  • Every time you deflect pain, you are tricked into seeking the end of the pain but are instead participating in its unnatural continuation.
  • When you give up what you imagine yourself to be, you also give up the pain of that imagined self.
  • Part of what you call your pain is there to help you perfect your relationship with God.

To Be, To See, or Not

Blessed are those who honor and reveal -- by example -- the uppermost path that leads to the perfection of the soul.

Fortunate are those who -- upon seeing this example -- are themselves moved to seek the Way, and who agree to the (interior) work of conscious suffering required for redemption.

Pity those poor souls who suspect -- in one way or another -- there are heavenly possibilities, but who refuse the struggle that leads to revelation, and the realization of true Self.

Yet, add no sorrow to those who -- for whatever reason -- deny the Divine, for their anguish is already beyond imagination.
