Defending Our Unhappiness

Have you ever run into someone whom you've shared the thought "don't worry", or "have faith", or "it'll be alright"?  And in return you receive a blistering look of anger for your inconceivable idea that the world is not crumbling.  How dare you think that everything will work out or that being happy is a possibility in the perception of their discontent.  My question to you now is why do you think this is so?  Why do we defend our unhappiness so vigorously?  Why do we sometimes choose, with all of our heart, to cling so dearly to what is making us so unhappy? Why do we identify with it and how do we seem to find some sort of comfort from it?

If all of us that say we believe in God but then cling so dearly to the opposite of faith and joy, and love, is it obvious then that something very opposite is drawing our attention and inspiration?  I choose Love, Joy and Faith in my life instead of the opposite every chance I get.  Can it really be that simple? Yep.

Fifth Essene Mirror

One really interesting idea that has captured my attention lately is the Fifth Mirror out of the Seven Mirrors in the ancient Essene culture.  It says that your consciousness reflects back to you Father/Mother.  It often reflects the same relationship we have with our Godly Mother and Father.  Mother being the earth and Father in Heaven.

Take that idea and think- would it be possible that I chose or I gravitated towards my Mother based on the resemblance to that of a preferred mother figure in my consciousness before I was born?

Did I play any role in choosing whom I was born to?  Does my earthly father resemble that of my heavenly father?  If so, this is a tool that can be used to learn, release and heal to grow further. 

Will we continue to be reborn in the same situations in life until we learn, let go, forgive, love and heal?

So now to come back to less abstract ideas and directly to a specific question that was asked of me- I think we might have chosen our childhood as best as we could in a shared consciousness environment.  And then we continue to build that environment into our adulthood until we learn from it and grow into something more positive.  The alternate to growth is to die knowing nothing else but the current level of consciousness in your life and try again relive it again in the next life. …so one may continue to build similar environments because they know somewhere deep inside that overcoming that consciousness is the next level of growth before moving on to the next.

For those that believe faith is somehow related to guiltful sin and suffering, instead maybe faith is knowing there is happiness out there and no matter how much your ego wants death and separation from God to protect itself, faith and love can unfold your inner self that is full of God.
