I feel lost. I am trying to see beyond my recent experiences but I feel stuck. Somehow I ended up here. Whenever I think of R. Bach I have a positive feeling over me. I relate to his writings but recently I really don't know why I would have chosen to experience such unpleasant things in my life. I am trying to remember but I just don't seem to know. Any advice??javascript:adds(%22:-/%22)

You feel lost because you choose to feel lost. If you are trying to see beyond your recent experiences, then that is what you are doing...trying. Do you try to see a sunset? no, you either see it or you dont, there's no trying involved. Trying to do anything will produce the result of not achieving the "thing" but of trying to. If you dont know why you have chosen to experience certain things that you label as unpleasant, then its time to know...which requires monitoring of your thoughts, emotions and actions. After monitoring them you do some shuffleing(choosing) of which ones serve you and which dont, to produce a desired result. Its a long process or a short one depending upon your ability to let go of who you were and become who you choose to be.

Well, I've always felt frustrated whenever anyone told me about the "trying" vs. "doing."
Sometimes we simply are experiencing nasty, rotten things which are part of living -- part of life.
It's been said that you don't know how to feel joy unless you have felt sorrow. We are here to live, that is the choice Love made. We are part and parcel of that original Divine Love, thus we "made" the choice of Life. Emotions are how we espress things that are part of this Life-- don't be afraid to shout "Damn!" or something more colorful. DO feel positive about being positively angry or hurt or positively bummed out about a situation that you find unpleasant -- feel ALL your feelings...please. Being stoic clots the blood; stiffens our hearts. and the Universe cannot see tears that are unshed nor sighs that are muffled in platitudes.
Once our so-called negative emotions can come out of the caves we have hid them (due to some sense of guilt or idea that we must rise above our pain), our minds are cleared to find solutions and appreciate even greater the winks, as well as the wrinkles of the Universe.

I like that commentary, Bright Heart.
"The two most twisted words in the English language are 'God' and 'love'."
~ Richard Bach, The Bridge Across Forever

Why are you trying to see beyond your recent experiences? See the joy and love and life that you want for yourself. Remember your past experiences, but get past them, move on. You create your reality, create the one you want.

Because seeing beyond experiences to their underlying theme is called "intelligence." It is also called "illumination" or "insight."
Quit the platitudes. They are meaningless and they have nothing to do with the fullness of Richard Bach's philosophy.

I would like to thank everyone who has replied. During 'Feeling Lost" I needed an asnwer that at the time I was unable to see because like someone noted that all I was doing was 'trying' and they were absolutely right. In retrospect I realize that I needed to experience that sorrow and challenge to test my own strength but I ended up having problems moving on. Why, because I was not seeing beyond my unfortunate experience. I have currently moved on, I have re-read a couple of book and I am anxiously awaiting new adventoruous that await me. Once again Thank you.TEXT

Alaya, I have a thought for you, which comes from the wisdom of Lester Levenson, originator of the Sedona Method. Ask yourself these three questions in turn: Could I just let this go? Would I? When? As you answer each question, yes or no, now or never, or whatever your honest answer is, repeat the questions again, and again and again, answering them as honestly as you can. As you do, you will quickly or gradually find that the emotional pain, fear, anger, confusion, bewilderment or any other emotions that are tormenting you, will disolve and your spirit will feel free again, and the joy will return to your life. This is the truth. If you wish to explore it further, there is a support group on-line called The Sedona Method Releasing Club, which you can find by typing that name into google.com and it will take you right there. Then simply click on the Message Board to the left to read thoughts from others and to leave your own or ask questions. There is also EFT at: www.mercola.com/forms/eftcourse.htmBut I do recommend that you check out The Sedona Method Releasing Club first. With great compassion, -Robert Burns spiritual_night@yahoo.com
