Climbing The Mountain

We really can make sense of our thoughts and feelings. We really can decode our responses and deeply understand why we are as we are. Our confusion and heaviness indeed can clear. We just need to begin to climb higher on the spiritual journey. As we understand we are divine Beings, as well as human, we can gradually outgrow our purely egocentric perspective and allow light in. This enhances our perspective and our emotional climate, making life much easier. We feel lighter and become less selfishly blinded by our own egos. It's nice!!!! :) :) :)

There's something I want to read to you.

I got,

There's a wonderful comment on yesterday's satsang with the spiritual psychologist YouTube.

I want to read you what the person wrote.

So it's titled,

Climbing the Mountain,

A conversation about feelings.

Adult,

Have you ever felt really upset or angry about something like when you didn't get the toy you want or when someone takes your favorite book?

Child,

Yes,

Sometimes I get really mad.

Adult,

Imagine those feelings are like being stuck at the bottom of a big mountain.

You feel heavy and stuck and it's hard to see clearly.

What would it feel like to be at the top of that mountain?

Child,

It would be awesome.

I could see everything.

Adult,

Exactly.

When we are at the top of the mountain,

We can see things better and feel calmer.

We can choose how to react instead of just getting swept away by anger or sadness.

But how do we climb the mountain?

Child,

I don't know,

Maybe we need a ladder.

Adult,

We can use our minds.

We can learn to understand our feelings and why we are having them.

It's like taking a photograph of what's happening inside us.

We step back and observe without judging ourselves.

Child,

So we just look at our feelings?

Adult,

Yes,

We look and we also feel.

Sometimes it might feel sad or scary to be with those big feelings,

But it helps us clear them.

It's like washing the floor and seeing all the dirt come up.

Child,

But what if I'm really scared to look at my feelings?

Adult,

That's okay.

It's normal to be scared.

You can ask for help,

Just like you would ask for help climbing a really tall tree.

You can talk to someone you trust,

Like a parent or a teacher.

And remember,

There's always part of you that's strong and loving,

Like a brave lion inside.

Child,

So climbing the mountain helps me feel better?

Adult,

Yes,

It helps you understand yourself better and deal with difficult situations.

You learn to respond from a place of love and kindness,

Even when it's hard.

And the more you climb,

The more you realize you're not alone.

There are many people who are also climbing their own mountains,

And we can help each other along the way.

Child,

I think I want to start climbing my mountain.

Adult,

That's wonderful.

It's an adventure,

And you're braver than you think.

This person nailed it.
