Each time you catch a pain, admit that nothing you\u2019ve ever done about the pain you experience has brought you the peace or the healing you say you want. The pain always returns. Therefore, maybe you don\u2019t really understand its cause as you thought you did. To find out the truth, just stop doing everything the way you have been, and instead simply say in full honesty, \u201cI don\u2019t understand this pain.\u201d Then wait for the exciting revelations that Truth will show you. And don\u2019t listen to the false voices that try to accuse you of taking the easy way out. It\u2019s just the opposite. We take real responsibility for our pain when we stop trying to deal with it in the old way, and instead try to understand it in a new way.<\/p>\n<p>The experience of every moment of our life is a direct reflection of our nature. We never experience anything that does not arise directly from our own inner life. Life always happens from the inside out. What we know and perceive and look for is what we get. And just as wounds to our body heal from the inside out, so too must we be healed psychologically.<\/p>\n<p>Life really is a special kind of journey whose each and every day can present new vistas to our eager perception. Instead, we live in an unhappy world created by our <i>mis<\/i>perception. But one of the marvels of our lives is that they can undergo a natural healing process when our wish for an awakened consciousness allows the Truth to shed its curative light. When that happens, even our pains become marvelous, because each one provides a fresh opportunity to learn more about what we have been doing against ourselves. This new knowledge gives us the power we need to cease this self-betrayal forever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The next time you experience any kind of pain, you can do something that will turn it into a new and different experience.
