Pain, used properly, is the most efficient of the experiences for
creating Pure Knowledge, simply because it moves toward death, at least
in the mind. This creates friction with the psychic phenomena generated by the natural need to survive, and
the cognitive and emotional explosion is a blessing. From pain, Pure
Knowledge is secreted into time, a creation in time, the calling forth of a
piece of eternity, in a sense. It hardens in time, becoming the
foundation for pure science (medicine). Pain, of course isn't the only experience
that can lead to Pure Knowledge, nor are experiences themselves the only
media. But they can be an expedient, again, properly used.
So
if you find it possible, in your heart of hearts, open the door to your
pain. You don't have to try and coax it to consciousness. Set your
intention to remain present and aware of the painful situations from day
to day. They happen all the time. Some people are more sensitive than
others, but given a good amount of awareness, you'll not only notice
more painful situations, you'll also become aware of your response, and
this is where You'll begin to create Pure Knowledge, for this is the proper
use of pain. Once you begin to see with the light of Pure
Knowledge, there'll be no need of further therapy or medicine.
The
downside to Pain's treasure potential, of course, is the toll mining it takes
on your organism. This is a legitimate concern, and some people should take it slow, and perhaps not open their hearts to the pain without the help of a professional or shaman. Also, sufferers should not be preyed upon in their need for liberation, and led into the intimate embrace of the pain body by irresponsible people who don't know, don't care or both.
Still, the wisest of the wise all agree they are grateful
for the painful experiences that brought them into the Presence of Pure
Knowledge, and though they naturally don't want to relive them, given
what they Know, they would do so if they found it necessary for abiding in that presence (and if that made any sense). Some, resting in the ease of having figured
it out, choose to come into time again and again, to help others figure
it out. And figure it out is what you must do, how you move on. But not
only with your mind, with all of you.
