as above so below.

Here is a piece I am working on now. It is obviously inspired by my spiritual revolution. I call it "As above, so below".

I am not sure if it's done yet. I have to live with it for a while and see what it thinks.

=========================================>>

So - the chapter this week was the pain body. The paaaaaaaaaaain body.

I am not sure about you other dense pain bodies out there, but I find my pain body really really fighting for survival within myself. There is literally this internal war happening.

And the consciousness within me feels delicate, like this lotus. It comes up quietly. Delicately. lady-like in her strong silent mannerism.

And pain body is a loud obnoxious twit. Who screams at my consciousness and tries to lure me into eating, or other thoughts that are totally pain body related.

And consciousness either retreats, or just stands there, forcing pain body to go slithering away to its hole.

I have a lot of stuffed feelings that make up my pain body. Like Oprah - I was also severely abused as a child and in my world it was eat or be eaten - NEVER let your underbelly show.

And soon I didn't even have one anymore.

Or so I thought.

It's there alright. My children brought it out in my. Love. Gentleness. Goodness.

Feeling.

And pain body hates it. My pain body is so ugly. She hates me so. She hates herself.

And she can fight all she wants to.

She's not going to win because now I know. I know.

I have recently discovered the work by Byron Katie and all I can say is WOW. It compliments Ekhart's teachings well.

It helps you to SEE  yourself clearly. Really eye-opening.

If you like to know the truth about yourself that is.
