During times of stress, is when I find it hardest to meditate. I'm sure it's so with everyone at this stage.
mjlabadia, what you are describing is the experience of catalyst. We get knocked off balance so that we can decide, again and again, whether we want to regain our balance by holding on to Love or Control/force. The more intense the catalyst, the more continuous and intentional the act of choosing has to be.
Unbound just posted a very nicely fitting quote from Ra about this in another thread:
Quote:(10.14) Ra: I am Ra.
Exercise One. This is the most nearly centered and usable within your illusion complex. The moment contains love. That is the lesson/goal of this illusion or density. The exercise is to consciously seek that love in awareness and understanding distortions. The first attempt is the cornerstone. Upon this choosing rests the remainder of the life-experience of an entity. The second seeking of love within the moment begins the addition. The third seeking powers the second, the fourth powering or doubling the third.
