Dear Friend,
May this find you well and happy. ********************************* This is Part 16 of your 24 segment weekly email course which you requested on "Learning Life's Lessons". For more on this subject we suggest the books "Relationships of Conscious Love" and "The Psychology of Happiness" which can be found as pdf ebooks at http://HolisticHarmony.com/ebooks/index.asp and also in your booksores, at Amazon.com or for 40% discount at http://www.HolisticHarmony.com/psychofhappiness.html May you enjoy it and benefit from it. ********************************** WHAT WE CAN LEARN FROM LOSS The fear and the pain of loss are two of the most destructive human emotions. They consume tremendous portions of our emotional, mental and physical energy, and create suffering on all levels. Why is this? Our basic life needs are security, pleasure, freedom and affirmation. In hope of satisfying these needs, we seek to accumulate or attach ourselves to objects, money, relationships and social or professional positions. We become attached to these, believing they give us our strength, security, freedom, contentment and self worth or success. We fear that if we do not have these, we will be vulnerable, and thus at the mercy of the world around us. We cling to our possessions, relationships, money and positions, believing we must have them to be well. Life, however, is change and nothing that we see or depend upon is free from the possibility of changing or disappearing in an instant. In a split second, our money, job, spouse, parent or child can disappear. They are all merely temporary waves on the sea of life. Adaptation and the ability to let go of the past are not only essential for evolution and growth, but also for overcoming suffering. The old must pass on in order for the new to develop. This is the law of both the material and mental worlds. If the blood in our veins refuses to move on from where it presently is, it will damage the body. Stagnant water spoils. A vessel must be emptied in order to be filled again with a new substance. If our bodies and minds are attached to what we "are" and "have," refusing to release them, there is no possibility of growth into new and higher levels of consciousness. The child must pass on in order to become an adult. The seed must split and cease to exist in order to become the tree. The egg must burst to become a caterpillar, and the caterpillar must perish in order to become a butterfly. From this perspective, every loss is an excellent opportunity to discover that we have the inner power to continue on even without what we have lost, and that we are much greater than we had originally believed. SOME USEFUL LESSONS WE MAY LEARN FROM LOSSES IN OUR LIVES Let us look at some possible lessons we may acquire from losing whatever is important to us, such as a watch, a wallet, important papers, jewelry, a job, a social position, money, our house, our land, our car, a camera, furniture, etc. (We have already discussed the lessons to be learned from losing a loved one.) 1. One possible lesson we may learn from losing or nearly losing something is to discover the value that it has for us. Often we do not realize how important or valuable something is to us until we no longer possess it. 2. Another lesson may be to discover that, in truth, we do not need that particular object as much as we had previously thought. We may need to realize that we have the strength to face life and be happy without it. Every attachment causes us to feel a little weaker. When we lose the object of attachment, we are given the opportunity to realize that we are stronger than we had once thought. 3. We can learn that these external objects do not bring real lasting security, contentment or affirmation, and that they are subject to change. 4. We may learn how to have, use and enjoy objects without becoming attached to them or allowing them to enslave us. The example of the bird on the branch mentioned earlier is a good one. The bird rests on the branch and enjoys its support. When a wind comes and shakes the branch, it does not experience fear because it is confident of its ability to fly and is also aware that there are plenty of other branches. In the same way, we may enjoy what life has to offer us while remaining aware that we have the inner strength to live and be happy without these objects. 5. We may learn that we must be more careful, more aware or more conscious so that we do not lose things unnecessarily due to a lack of concentration and care. 6. We may be forced to analyze the inner meaning of this loss. What is life trying to teach us with this loss? What does this message mean about our lives, our actions and our way of living? 7. We may need to learn how to try to retrieve that which we have lost, or even perhaps fight for it, but with love and without attachment to the results of our effort. That means that while we make our best effort to regain what we have lost, we are able to accept our new reality should our effort not succeed. We can learn to protect and care for our possessions without anxiety or fear. 8. We can develop faith in Divine Wisdom, and thus accept the fact that nothing can happen which is not controlled by the just and wise powers of the universe. A faith in the Divine Plan allows us to accept that only the best for our spiritual evolution will ever be allowed to take place. 9. We can learn to surrender to the will of God, realizing that all is given and taken from this one universal source of all that exists. We come into this world naked and will leave it naked. All that we accumulate in between is simply on loan for us to use for our survival, service, and spiritual growth while on earth. 10. We may be forced to discover, face and change any negative beliefs that may be provoking such losses. We may hold beliefs such as "the world is full of evil", "I am not capable of holding a job", or "I am not capable of protecting myself," which may create unnecessary losses simply because they are merely manifestations of our belief system. These and many other lessons can be learned from any loss. We would benefit by adopting the attitude that whatever occurs in our lives happens for a reason. We can then seek to discover what we can learn from that, making every material loss a potential emotional, mental and spiritual gain as we develop inner strength and discover how full and complete we are within ourselves without external crutches. The real secret is to enjoy what we have without becoming dependent upon it. When we worry about what we do not have or what we have lost, we lose what we do have. If we stop to think how much we actually have to be grateful for, our losses will seem insignificant. ******************************** B> ********* Membership is free and you can access 600 articles, chapters and ebooks for free.Become a Member********* Our Free ezine Claritygreater health, happiness and harmonious relationships.
