Re: Coping with grief

As I have oft said in me prior posts the world as a whole is dysfunctional replete with denial that it is so. If it were otherwise we on a spiritual calling would have no reason to seek or be. Having said that I don't think spirituality is a subsutitute for reality. The failure is very real and very sad.



We ache for the things we lost or can not have. It is naught that all is futile but that all is temporary. To enjoy is to consume. Putting our best on hold never allows it to be created in the first place.



So I guess that is our highest goal in life at this time: to try and perpetuate our best efforts, our greatest ideas, things we would like to last; but they will only do so because someone else carries on after the old cycle dies. If we were not aware of this then it would truly die forever.



But with the awareness comes pain and sorrow and as mystics were should pride ourselves in our encreased awareness. To be devoid of emotion is not right for to be so is akin to being blind of all that is.



We were not born to be blind.

Sorry to hear about your loss


All I can say to your loss of your Dad

is that he didn't leave you far behind,

he just let go of his physical self.



I had a classic Mystical experience

the day before my Grandma's funeral.

And we never got along;

I was relieved when she went. Oops.

It was on a beautiful fresh spring day last April

in Saskatoon and everything appeared whiter.

The Mystical experience came upon me almost like a scent.

Not that I actually smelled anything.



She was EVERYWHERE.

Anywhere I went, there she was.

She was non-local.



It was like I plugged into her

but she wasn't talking to me directly.

I put words to what I was feeling or picking up from her.



"I am trying to worry but I can't."

"This is all very new to me." (Adjustment period.)



Most impostantly the message:

"Walk through life lightly. Don't worry and strain so much."

Physical life is one 1000000000th of a part of the grand scheme.



She was not with her husband but she had to do some Self developing as she became narrow minded in her physical life.

Her energy was that of an early 20 year old as this was the age she could absorb the most.

She was acquiring knowledge at a million gigabytes a second.



The feeling diffused by the afternoon as I knew it would, but I remember the words and the critical observation of the experience.



I wish you calmness and comfort through your grieving period.

E me if you want/need to talk.

Replying to:

Often, grief is classified as negative feeling and emotion. I have endorsed this too, until recently when my beloved dad passed on. Though, mystics often hold the view, not to grieve much because death of a loved one is actually transition, a higher initiation, a sacred journey back to God and so on. I have also endorsed this too, like a good mystic. Those who have or are currently passing this kind of experience will find the stark reality of grief staring them right in their face. GRIEF IS REAL and part of living life fully. Though some mystics well advanced in the Path can practise contacting loved ones that have passed through transition, but this too has its limitation and sometimes ill-advised. By contacts beyond this life, I do not mean visiting mediums or seances. That is definitely un-mystical and very much ill-advised too.



We have to first accept the reality of the cause of the grief. In my own case, I have come to gradually face the fact that my dad is no more. It could also be the loss of a cherished home to flood or possessions to armed robbers in some part of the world.

To cope with grief, have you tried prayers? I do not refer to the "noisy" type but the quiet communion with the First Cause, Universal mind, Providence or simply God. The Christian Bible asserts that "Be still and know that I am God..". One could also attune with the cosmic to charge the spiritual batteries. With much success and luck, one could be imbued with strength or inspiration or even attune with the spiritual essence of the loved one that has passed on. Applying the mystical techniques work even more, our senses become even more acute as we learn to cope with grief.Peace and Happy New year to all the members of our mystical community worldwide.
