Recently, I begun to fall asleep to watching videos online. Some of what I listen to is in regards to relationship dynamics.
I woke up today to something interesting. The videos have been playing the whole time while I was sleeping, and there were probably 10 or so videos that played....they just sort of randomly play down the list that is there, with me not even looking at that list. But anyway, I woke up to this video:
I noticed this is a very long video...3+ hours. I am not sure what it covers in the first 2 1/2 hours, because I woke up with it being at its end.
When I woke up, it was talking about the human spirit and what a relationship breakup can do to that spirit. I found that interesting because I am a very strong proponent of not becoming hate. Many here know that I was involved in a 13 year relationship where I left the woman I loved...and I certainly know the feelings that are associated with such a traumatic experience.
This video was talking about that very thing...and the long and difficult road it can be to overcome these feelings of darkness within. They describe the path a becoming aware of your emotions, understanding them, paying attention to them, and taking steps to foster more positive emotions and focusing on those positive emotions to have them become more of you.
Even years later, they say, that those dark emotions can creep back into you. Love is powerful and can be dangerous. However, they say, one needs to overcome these dark/negative emotions...to allow themselves to become vulnerable again.
There are positive and negative ways to navigate these emotions. You can take the dark path of drugs, alcohol, and sheer isolation....or you can take the positive path of exercise, eating right, and getting out there and creating new experiences...to take your mind off of the trauma you just faced...and to create new and positive life experiences. Some people they say, may need therapy.
With the current social structure we are living in...with divorce rates so high, I cannot help but think that there must be a lot of people experiencing this darkness. Either that, they are becoming numb to their emotions...meaning they may becoming narcissistic in nature.
Our spirits are direct conveyors of our emotions and it is sensitive to other's emotional state. Our spirit is directly tied to our intuition. It knows before we can rationalize something mentally. Therefore, I would say, don't let the darkness of hate and despair overwhelm, distract, and cloud your spirit. Go for therapy, or pay attention to yourself to discover beautiful, bright, wonderful experiences to bring light into your spirit....a lot of which will come from connecting with other people.
I would recommend at least watching the last hour of this video for a better understanding.
