ENTICED TO FACE THEIR AGONY

With nearly messianic fervor I practice and promote the practice of, intentional emotional discharge.  So, have  I shed tears or discharged anger or frustration over the enormous suffering of the people of Haiti?  No, I have not.  Why?  I have been determined not to allow one tear drop of emotion to surface because I feel I cannot go further in debt in order to contribute.

I did not intend to listen to Marc Gafni's prayer as I do not pray.  I was confident that reading the provided text was sufficient.  But, I gave in to my curiosity and listened to the entire prayer.  It is good that I gave my god, Reality as channeled here through Marc, a chance.  Why?  Because it became obvious to me that the Universe needs me, as an expression of it, as its creation, to experience not just my mind but my heart as fully as is possible given my current stage of psychospiritual development.  This precious gift of conscious and emotion-full life obligates me to face and emotionally experience all that arises; to do less is to let this magnificent evolutionary process of which I am part, down, totally down.  

I believe that this may be an emotional universe and therefore I must not deny it this emotional Self which it created, this "me" which is part of it and all of that it created.  I must NOT ignore as best I can the suffering of its human children, of my fellow human beings.   Reality requires that I admit to myself that that the  people of Haiti deserve my focused attention even if I can do nothing substantial to help them.

At this moment I do not feel an ounce of emotion when I contemplate the agony of Haiti's people.  I am not ashamed of myself.  Perhaps I am a little horrified, however, by this immediate personal reality.  BUT tomorrow I will either find a friend who wishes to practice emotional discharge with me (on whatever they wish to address) or I will practice alone.  I won't worry about outcome; I will allow.

That is that.
