Focusing on feeling "cheated" about not going to the happy timeline is an honest feeling, but a bit of detunement/distraction from the objective on my part, which is this timeline and my current work. I of course have not given up on this timeline just because it's hard. Sometimes I just wonder how effective I can radiate to others when I barely know what joy feels like for myself. How I'm supposed to carry out a mission on empty. Nothing will deter me from doing the work but FFS I'd like to ENJOY life for once instead of just trials, tribulations, harshness, and suffering. Maybe I'm just a depressive bastard so I'm on the depressive bastard timeline. Who knows.
Have you ever tried focusing upon your heart and upon the journey there?
As Ra describes, bit by bit, as less and less energy is constantly fueling concerns about survival, personal and social relationships, more energy is available to move along the upward path of seeking to that heart thing.
Checking in there for a night or two is very much like sweeping aside the concerns of the personal self and social self in order to breathe in and out the feeling of integrated spirit and body. It could be joyful, it could be simply beautiful.
And then one must return home to all the "stuff" one is working on balancing, and the benefit of the above wears thin. But hope is much stronger.
And so it goes until more and more of the energy devoted to inner strife and outer struggles and all the rest find some resolution. Then the treasure of the heart becomes more apparent and one's collaboration with it becomes more constant.
..............and on it goes.
The doorway is open. The choice is your own, we are told.
