How to End Your Own Suffering

Beloved Beings, yes there are those upon this planet who are suffering greatly, and you
have done all that you could do to assist them. You have sent monies, you have prayed,
you have envisioned great light about the suffering, and you have even taken the
suffering to yourself in an attempt to relieve the burdens of the many. All that you have
done is neither right nor wrong, but has been and continues to be choice. Yet for this
speaking, we would focus on you and upon your suffering, even though you may believe
that in comparison to the many whose suffering is grave, your suffering is small. You see,
Beloved Beings, you are greatly loved and within that love do we flow forth to assist
you… in all manners of being, even when you believe that your suffering is not great
enough to deserve not only your full attention, but also our assistance in relieving you of
such suffering.
Within your holy journey, within your expanded consciousness, and within your manners
of residing in the awakened state, there comes forth – from time to time, as you have the
phrase – those occurrences that appear to be out of context, out of context from that
which you have been creating. And you of course look to yourself to discover what you
have been doing wrong within your choosing and creating so that you might correct such
manifestations. You have done very well in this manner of change. Yet now is the time
for the next phase of your residing upon earth in a most expanded manner of being.
The real truth, the real journey. It is one of experience and less of words and
study.
What is the next phase? Ah! We say these words: this is what you have been waiting for.
The real truth, the real journey. It is one of experience and less of words and study. In
truth, there is no study at all with regard to what you can do to reside within a life that is
free of your own suffering. Then in this manner do we speak and perhaps in this manner
do you reside:
Firstly, take several deep breaths and while breathing in, imagine that as you breathe in
the All That Is you are simultaneously releasing all concepts of exactly how you have
perceived the All That Is. You are simply consciously breathing in the All That Is. And
when you breathe outward, imagine that you are breathing outward the All That Is and in
a like manner, imagine that you have easily and completely released any and all previous
concepts of the All that Is. Continue in this manner for several breathings… until you
have forgotten what you are doing and you are simply breathing. Bring your awareness
back to this moment and continue.
Secondly, close your eyes and allow your awareness within your very own self to choose
to temporarily set aside any and all seeming difficulties which cause you suffering.
Temporarily set them aside. You might be asking, “How do I do this?” To which we
would say, simply choose. As you are residing quietly with your eyes closed, say to
yourself, “In this moment I temporarily set aside all concerns for any person, place or
situation. In this moment I temporarily set aside any cause and effect that is or continues
to cause my suffering. In this moment, I choose to allow any cause for my own suffering
to be temporarily set aside. This I do choose. So be it.” You may not require all of those
words, or you may discover that in order to set aside such cause and effect, you may say
those words several times. Continue in this manner until you are no longer striving to set
aside, until you are no longer efforting to temporarily free yourself from that cause and
effect for your own inner suffering. Continue until you are breathing easily and discover
that you CAN be separate from that cause and effect.
You see, Beloved Beings, at times you are so involved within such cause and effect that
you actually lose your own identity within it. It is as if you, the beauteous glorious you,
no longer exist. It is as if you have temporarily set yourself aside and become those
difficulties or that cause and effect. At times, so to speak, you have placed yourself inside
another, perhaps another whom you deeply love, and you have suffered for him or her.
Yet you have also discovered that such practices actually prove to be fruitless; perhaps
you have discovered such swimming within difficulties has only caused you more pain
than you “bargained for” – as you have the words. And perhaps, after all, you have found
that you are so very involved with such practices that you are trapped within them. Yet
we say to you, you are not trapped. You are not the other person or persons. And you are
not the circumstance; you are not the cause and effect. You have simply lost yourself,
your sense of self, within your practices. And it is that which you are that will bring to
you great relief. Reflect for a moment upon what we have spoken. Reflect for a moment
on how you have involved yourself to such a degree that perhaps you have forgotten
yourself and your own choosing… for yourself. Perhaps you will allow such awareness to
rise to the surface of your knowing. Allow.
Now once again, return to your letting go of or setting aside of any person, place, or
situation with which you have become involved to such a degree that you have begun to
cause your own suffering. Once again, choose to temporarily set aside all cause and
effect, allowing it to be of itself. Once again, choose to temporarily set aside your
involvement with anything outside of your very own self in this moment as we reside
together. Breathe deeply and easily, remembering to breathe in the All That Is and
breathe out the All That Is. Continue until you forget that which you are doing and are
simply breathing naturally and without focus.
Next, Beloved Beings, say to yourself these words, taking one statement and whispering
to your own self the words and allow the words to reside within, caressing the entirety of
that which you are. Then the next statement and the next, allowing each one to fill you
and reside within you. And if you find that your mind wants to analyze the statement,
perhaps to determine if the statement is actually correct or to determine what the
statement means, say to your mind, “We will think about this later. Right now we are
allowing. It is my choice.” Breathe deeply and continue. Then these are your statements
to your very own beauteous self, statements to assist you to be restored to your own
consciousness, to reside within your glorious self, to be that which you are, One and
Whole.
