Words of Wisdom for April 10, 2025

Dear Friends:
I know how much you long to figure out why bad things happen””and whether you can avoid them. It touches my heart and makes me feel so tender to see how you long to control life and ward off what you don’t like. You’re always strategizing, trying to crack the code of how to get what you want and avoid what you don’t want, and I totally get it. Of course you don’t want to hurt!
What you may not realize is that your resistance to life as it is causes more pain than what you don’t like in the first place.
Instead of pushing away what you don’t like, try feeling the feelings that come with whatever you don’t like. Don’t skip the feelings and try to bypass to whatever lies on the other side. But see if you can just breathe through the feelings until you get to the naked truth of reality. See what is rather than labeling it as good or bad. Stay with it. Notice what is happening, knowing always that “This too shall pass.”
If bliss is here, this too shall pass. If pain is here, this too shall pass. Life hurts sometimes, and this is unavoidable. Yet you can find reassurance in the certainty that everything is, indeed, impermanent. If you don’t like what’s happening, breathe . . . and be patient. Bliss will be back before you know it.
Not sure how to handle the vicissitudes of life? Rely on me. I’ll help you through whatever arises, holding you always in great arms of love and providing the comfort you’ll need to keep breathing.
Loving you,
Your Inner Pilot Light
