HEAVEN, OH MAN, COMES AFTER HELL
By Túpac Atámo
No tree, it is said, can grow to heaven unless its roots reach down to hell.
- Carl Jung
Some of you are having experiences lately that are stretching your roots down to 'hell.' You are suffering. Maybe you are reliving old stories, or you are reeling from divorce. You may be mourning the loss of a child. You may simply be in a rut.
If you are, lean into it. Feel it completely. Focus your loving awareness on those parts of your body that are moved by these experiences.
Also, if you are suffering, please know that your pain is a season, and that it is not permanent, and that there is always a new way to look at your situation. None of us can see into your mind, to see the story you're telling yourself. Similarly, the story you are telling yourself is almost certainly false, or at least, incomplete.
One mistake, or string of mistakes, does not mean YOU are a mistake. You are Life. You are Awareness. You are Love. You are the Creative Force. You are not a mistake. Mortality, and physicality; these are an exquisite and extreme challenge for a Divine Essence like you. These are the challenge of a whole & perfect Consciousness living a fractured and finite lifetime.
In time, all of these things will work together for your good. You can fill in the cracks with Gold, as the Chinese do with their broken pottery, and make those parts where you broke your strongest and most beautiful parts.
May you be well. May you be happy. May you be free from suffering.
