Thanks for your insightful comments. Thanks tara,

From an early age--we do form ourselves to the world-and the experiences in our lives--and then Jesus comes into our lives and says, "follow me." Jesus asks us to give up all--even our very selves and in total trust--emptying every bit of the world in us--we "reflect" back Jesus--no longer the world in us but Christ in us. We will always remain empty--full of misery--when we hopelessly try to seek fulfillment among the addictive and vain attachments of the world. What these addictive and vain attachment accomplish--is a numbing of the mind, body and spirit. True love gives--Jesus on the cross--it does not seek numbing pleasure--but the good of the loved--and in the end when all the world is turned to nothingness--only the true love remains. Awesome post! Wow, Shelray–or should I say Solomon–where ever did you get your great wisdom?–this is an awesome post!

From an early age–we do form ourselves to the world-and the experiences in our lives–and then Jesus comes into our lives and says, “follow me.” Jesus asks us to give up all–even our very selves and in total trust–emptying every bit of the world in us–we “reflect” back Jesus–no longer the world in us but Christ in us.

We will always remain empty–full of misery–when we hopelessly try to seek fulfillment among the addictive and vain attachments of the world. What these addictive and vain attachment accomplish–is a numbing of the mind, body and spirit.

True love gives–Jesus on the cross–it does not seek numbing pleasure–but the good of the loved–and in the end when all the world is turned to nothingness–only the true love remains.

Awesome post!

Thanks for your thoughts. pml,

sure, it’s possible to experience spiritual pains during times of trial and spiritual growth, maybe I should have stressed the loneliness and added emptiness instead. Thanks for your thoughts.

Among all, is the deep loneliness which accompanies everyone who experiences the spiritual pain of losing one’s true-self..." Not to sure what this means? Is it not possible for one to experience "spiritual pains" when one is shedding the false self? ” … Among all, is the deep loneliness which accompanies everyone who experiences the spiritual pain of losing one’s true-self…”

Not to sure what this means? Is it not possible for one to experience “spiritual pains” when one is shedding the false self?
