The final lesson is always ACCEPTANCE.
Everything else you learn and go through is just putting you somewhere on the spectrum between learning that final truth or getting caught up in JUDGEMENT and holding yourself back from life.
Everything we do is either teaching us how to be more OPEN and to go deeper into life or it’s causing us to put up our defenses and to RESIST (so that we can keep the EGO in place and avoid having to face the SHADOW TERRITORY blah blah – see my book Shadow Life).
The EMOTIONAL LANDSCAPE of your life – in general – is a reflection of your CAPACITY and WILLINGNESS to ACCEPT reality.
If you accept, then you feel ‘good’ because you’re open and there are no/less barriers between you and where life wants to take you.
If you resist, then you fell ‘bad’ because you’re closed and you place illusory barriers (ego ‘stuff’) between you and life and it will forever slip between your fingers.
It’s so easy to attribute a lot of mental health problems to physical or chemical causes but – in A LOT of cases – the ‘mental health crisis’ is just a SYMPTOM of being in an UNREAL world that is constantly trying to distract people and make them forget about what it means to be a living, breathing human being.
Depression, anxiety, restlessness, and a lot of other things are just symptoms of the FUNDAMENTAL problem which is that people are scared to be REAL, have been conditioned not to ACCEPT themselves, the world, and reality and so don’t LISTEN to what their emotions are asking them to ACCEPT.
Instead of LEARNING the lesson, they’re just given pills to pop or ‘talking therapies’ that make them go over and RE-IDENTIFY with the same stories and narratives that made them miserable in the first place.
Negative emotions that LINGER mean that you’re AVOIDING a lesson.
In general:
Depression – means that you have LOST TOUCH with your purpose and stopped MOVING so you feel trapped.
Anxiety – means that you’re putting an unreal version of yourself out into the world and getting FRICTION as feedback.
Shame, Guilt, and Trauma – mean you let the world stop you BELIEVING in yourself.
Etc.
If you don’t learn to ACCEPT reality you’ll always be UNREAL.
