1) At level of thought, resistence takes form in judgment. This implies any pain you think you feel is really a manifestation of some form of non-acceptance. The intensity of your suffering depends on to what degree you resist being what you are. How strongly you resist depends on how strongly you identify with your ego view of the world. Which hidden reasons help you to explain why you resist what is?
2) At the level of emotion, imbalance is prompted by negativity. Emotional pain may be viewed as the cause of physical pain and physical disease. This means resentment, hatred, self-pity, guilt, anger, depression, jealousy, stress, any doubt or irritation, are all forms of pain. Every pleasure or emotional boost has within it seeds of pain in its polar opposite. Balance and deconditioning are always choices.
3) At the level of time continuum, perceived pain is fragmented. Pain is clearly reinforced by the energy you give it. Each moment you speak about it measures it, adding fuel to the fire and thus, strengthens its life. You create pain in present and combine memories from pain experienced in the past that continue to live in your mind and body. Until you access the power beyond your sense of a pain-body, the residue of pain created and experienced in past merges with and guides the present.
4) At the level of space continuum, you can regain control. As you sense the pain-body as an energy field temporarily lodged in your inner space, you will realize it is a kind of trapped life energy that ceases to flow. So long as you identify with the past, you reinforce a belief that the past is more powerful than the present. Its like believing what already happened is responsible for who you are now, for emotional pain and your inability to be true to yourself. That is the opposite of the truth. Take charge of your inner space whenever you choose.Why not let bygones be bygones?
Granted, it may shock you to realize the power of presence. Yet, from the moment you grasp presence, you break free of attachment. Just as fighting darkness brings more of the same, attempts to fight presumed physical reasons for pain intensify conflict and invite more pain. However, to learn to step back and understand the underlying causes is to accept it as part of the moment, end pain and to move on.
