[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 674491, member: 17461"] This is Pema Chodron. What she describes here is where we are in the process. We are in the beginning. According to Pema, this is how this part is supposed to feel. Whoa. Wait. I only wanted to figure out how to survive FOO shunning. :O) So, there are like, four more kinds of loneliness for me, then. Pema seems very happy, so maybe, we will be alright too, then. Which doesn't even matter as much as unraveling the pain and being brave. But it is good to know there is a pattern to our healing, and that others have gone through it too and come through intact. Sometimes, this is very scary, this healing we have elected to do. *** Christmas is coming, and I will be alone, again. And people will be sending those rotten Hallmark cards. And that will be another kind of lonely. roar they are so gutsy [URL]http://www.lionsroar.com/six-kinds-of-loneliness/[/URL] Anyway, here are some other things I learned, this morning. This is Eckhart Tolle: It's a paraphrase, not a direct quote. [I]Confidence: an absence of fear. Spiritual word for confidence: faith. Faith is trust. We can access faith by connecting to the deeper dimension within. The quickest way to faith is to suspend thinking and feel yourself as the Presence.[/I] *** Other interesting factoids I picked up this morning: A grain of sand is halfway between an atom and the planet, Earth. A squid's brain is shaped like a donut, and their intestines run through the center. So, if they eat too much, they can damage their brains. :rofl: Here is something beautiful. A chassid is a lamplighter. The lamplighter walks the streets carrying a flame at the end of a pole. He knows that the flame is not his. And he goes from lamp to lamp to set them alight. That is a Jewish Wisdom quote. Last thing. "[I]I am practicing mindfulness, compassion, and lovingkindness. Don't piss me off."[/I] That is exactly how I have been feeling lately. Like I am redeeming myself and everyone else is pissing me off. :O) Cedar [/QUOTE]
