Hello everyone,
I am brand new to this forum but have followed it for some time. I am writing here to inquire if anyone else has found themselves struggling with the terrible things one sees on the news everyday. I recently read a news story which I won't retell in detail, which just made me almost physically sick. I will save folks the details so they are not forced into the same reaction I was. It was one of the most horrific things I have ever read about and it shocked and disturbed me. I still two days later feel deeply disturbed by what I read and can't stop thinking about it.
I am just asking if anyone else here has any guidance about what to do with something like this. Or possibly any thoughts peoplehave about how to handle material such as this if it in fact is some aspect of a personal catalyst. I understand based on my reading of the Law of One, that their is a need to see life and all its minutiae as correlates of deeper metaphysical process. I am torn between recognizing the need to witness life and not simply turn away even if that is what my intuition tells me to do so. This world is sometimes too much to bear, how awful beings can be to one another. I was just looking for the thoughts of others and any advice about how to deal with these types of lingering vicarious trauma. Thanks for your time.
