Making It Through Mental Illness

Breathe. Whether you identify yourself or are considered by others to be an Indigo Child, Lightworker, and/or know that you are in fact an HSP/Empath, than you are simply here to collaborate on the greatest common purpose with so many: bridging the gap between worlds, connecting the spiritual and material. Each and every mission is different, and what you do in this life won't exactly fit the same bill as the next guy or gal, yet there is much higher probability that if you are any of these things, then before knowing where to go you will, or have, found yourself buried in a graveyard, required to dig yourself out of it it before finding the means to fulfill your purpose, mission, having found your practice: mental illness. Exhuming one's own life is hard work, perhaps the hardest work you will ever do as a soul incarnate, though rising from the ashes is so worth it.

Let me say that faith is essential, and if you can learn trust you're golden. There is a linear structure, but you need to stop worrying about it, trust there are reasons for you being where/here (and there are). However, the true nature of reality is fluid, and so things are much more porous than the human mind can make sense of, so you will never understand what is happening or why from a perfectly linear ideological viewpoint. In life, as in all of reality there is only flexible and rigid - these two are much truer than good and evil - and you must reconcile yourself to the former, which resonates with peace, love, patience, and TRUST, if ever you are to get anywhere other than where, now, you find yourself attempting to fight your way out of, flee or otherwise freeze into bitter, stagnant complacency. Choose water over fire, even though it can feel the scariest thing initially.

Analogy:

If a party of monks no longer cared to indulge the structure of a monastery, and begin pelting their mountaintop residence with stones as a demonstration to the indignance they feel, would that get them anywhere? Even if the High Priest (High Monk?) came out several times a day willing to facilitate a negotiation, but the monks carried on with the same antics, never would the day come where they entered its doors once more and the hierarchy greeted them again with open arms in friendship and tolerance. This is a bit like what you do in your head, every time (probably multiple times a day) when things start getting dark again. It's a lot like smashing your fist atop of your desktop computer because it's broken or not working properly. There is absolutely no other organ in the human body we seek to manipulate and dominate so much as the brain - the very thing we experience living consciousness out of. Am I not right? No, we don't want to think that thought, or in those types of ways - too dark - and we ESPECIALLY don't want those old feelings and darker sensations cropping up ever again. Yet still, deep inside, and particularly after years of struggling, having become buoyant above the surface, you wish and yearn deeply for things to change and become different. There are even times you acknowledge strongly in yourself that you would be willing to go through any thoughts, feelings, to breakdown any old beliefs, to watch any part of you conducive to bad results erode and fall off, although despite this intention nothing seems to change, almost never. Only baby steps and gradual tiptoes towards improved psychological health over long, too long periods of time - just to collapse back down to a default misery, at some point along the way. Here, it is essential to begin to recognize the disparity between you - legit, authentic, conscious you - and the ego, which is like a separate entity built up from subtle brainwave patterns over the years to occupy part of your mindscape, yet that would not possess any conscious power if disembodied from you, true self, powerful, soul consciousness, that you are. Stop exerting conscious energy against a tide that has to trough if ever you are to see the light again and begin your healing journey. I would like to share with you how this is so possible, and for any person more layman, high intellect, or right down the middle, to fully heal.

No thought, feeling, belief, desire is wrong. No, really! I know that you are combing through that, imagining to yourself it seems like basic knowledge, though if you begin to pay attention to just how many thoughts, feelings, beliefs, desires you are blocking, you'll gain your first insight into why your brain organ seems to be working against you. Realize you'll never heal from brain power and will alone, and that at the same time to cultivate your own inner environment for healing must do away with self-sabotage at all levels. Nothing occurring within you is wrong, because nothing that happens inside causes damage to others, thereby it doesn't enact itself against the two essential vitals of peace: 1) To never hurt or harm anyone or anything, and 2) To do what you can to get in the harmonious flow of the universe. Regardless, beginning to allow the flow of consciousness and instill these changes from a place of ego, that's disallowed and worked against so many ideas and concepts unanimously since the dawn of societal implications? This is conceivably impossible. Stop hitting your head against a wall. We must realize the necessity for change in the wake of how we've been conducting personal business. One must develop peaceful practice.

Dan Deluis, Christina Lopes, Wim Hof, Michael Beckwith, Joe Dispenza, Gregg Braden, Deepak Chopra, Don Miguel Ruiz, Michael Singer. These are the names of the spiritualists whose works have meant the most to me on mine journey through The Void so far. They can teach you the tools. But never before has humanity as a whole species grown so sedentary. If you want to be healthy, behave in such a way - health is mind, body, soul. None of any of these aspects without the others. Start meditating. All you have to do is breathe, possibly shutting your eyes. That's it. Not trying to think, not trying not to think, and not avoiding anything which surfaces. Practice yoga. Exercise: cardio, weightlifting, long walks, etc. Spend time in nature, starting with hikes, swimming in lakes or rivers, relaxing outside, etc. Read and consume the proper material, not all this dark, grungy content being shoved down our throats by streaming platforms and the media. Spend time in better spaces, with the right people, and begin to jettison all that is wrong for you and where you intend to be going (we could all make more of these such changes). Breathwork and Coldwater Exposure - DO IT! More accurately, you come to realize this immersion really is COLD THERAPY!

Surrender. It's that easy. Frustrating, I know. Namely, you need to stop going along with the voiceover narrative playing itself out in YOUR mind. We all make mistakes. For each of us, there are things we wish could be different. You may still feel inadequate, sorrowful, angry. Maybe you'll still look at others in envy. There will always be the potential for something else. Something more. That you desire or wish you had. That's fine. Because we're not fighting consciousness or biochemistry any longer. Let your neurotransmitters and brain structures conduct the symphony as they will. After all, it's your orchestra and each chorus tells a piece of a bigger tale. The Universe will continue to weave along, allow your threads to become entwined in the fabric of its cloth. Give yourself over as best you can. This is not scary, nor oppressive, neither does it make one vulnerable or uncomfortable. Surrender really just means giving up or giving in. However, it is doing so in the best way with the right intentions. You are no longer fighting the content of your mind. You are watching it. Feeling it. Unfortunately, this latter part may last a lengthy while, and I think why so many buckle under the pressure so quickly. You must open yourself up to the negative in the same way you have always been receptive to positive. This takes some time, though still happens fast considering you have been enabling via embedding your power and consciousness in certain brainwave patterns for such a long time. All you can do is intend to wake up. You are no longer content sleepwalking through life. Slumber is over.

And it's by correcting our nutritional regime - eating the proper foods - and putting together a workout regiment - exercise, yoga, et cetera - and creating better practices - meditation, cold water, nature, breathwork - that we eventually work our way up and through to this point and beyond. Don't expect things to be different if you aren't going to strive for fresh results. To return your mind, get sleep back on track, ultimately get the brainwaves to descend from sympathetic into the parasympathetic to a degree that you haven't experienced since childhood, and which in due course will warrant the rapture of spontaneous healing - more amazing than could ever realize - one needs to be following these New-Age modules for living and evolving.
