Some of my biggest spiritual breakthroughs came after I embraced some of my darkest moments of my life. It was such a torture in the beginning to experience these things; I really hated them. Now thinking back, who exactly hated these moments? It was my mind and ego because they thought of them and labeled them as bad experiences. If I had listened to my ego mind, had tried my best to resist these changes, I am sure my life would still be in struggles.
Facing these dark moments opens up my heart and opens me up to the world! Because of these dark moments, the way I look at other human beings is totally different. Instead of judgments, I now have compassions and understanding. I am able to stand by them when they are experiencing their dark moments without judgment; because of these dark moments, I am able to glimpse life as a whole spectrum and not just half. The resistance to the other half is doomed to fail; because of these dark moments, I am able to see the dynamics of life and am more willing to go with the flow; because of these dark moments, I now develop the ability to trust and really know there are really presents behind these challenges.
From time to time, I still fall into the traps and think that these dark moments are here to torture me! However, I just discovered except my ego mind is tortured and roasted; the spirit is having a good time! When we become playful with our dark moments and play with them, they suddenly shrink in size! This entire mind made phantom suddenly disappears!
Ha! Just enjoy and play with life whether it rains or shines!
