Yesterday we started talking about stress. We talked about how stress leads to weight gain, Old before our time, and increases our stupidity. Then we discovered it doesn't really even exist, it's something that you make up or interpret in your head. One person's Bliss is another person's stress and we found out that you are a masochist that you are in love with your stress. So let's figure out why? Why do you love stress so much? Why do you stay so loyal in your devotion to it? There are multiple reasons, here's the number one it makes you feel alive! Even this negative stress has a reason to be in our life. It is a sensation in the spectrum of feelings. It helps us to feel alive. Stress, pain, joy, excitement on a subconscious level you love all of these emotions equally, with pain being one of the most intense and titillating. In the book “Illusions” by Richard Bach he talks about life being an illusion, like a movie that appears to be real and at the time of viewing it you are actually immersed in that illusion. Why else would we watch a movie? During it you feel suspense, excitement, love connection, all the way to fear or horror. But here's the reality the images in front of you are not even moving they only appear to be moving. it is only a light show, different colors and shades of light playing across the screen. So why do you choose to go see a horror movie? You know you will be safe but you also know what feelings it will elicit while you are there.
This is also why you might create circumstances in your life that give you the opportunity to experience those emotions. These might even be emotions you label as painful or filled with drama. These emotions create or fill your spirit on a subconscious level. Your reality and life is just as temporary and as much of an illusion as the ink Stephen King uses to create his characters lives.
Stress and pain also gives you tension that can be viewed as created by circumstances. Those painful emotions from the world. As an example, have you ever known a drama queen or king? Everything to them is a travesty, they're constantly speaking about painful things that have happened to them to create the painful emotions. They have found behavior that provides what the subconscious is looking for. They are looking for empathy, they want attention, they need compassion and connection with others through the drama. This behavior is conjured at a subconscious level yet to their conscious mind it is very real
These were probably difficult for you to hear. Do you feel a defensive alarm that is sounding in your head? If so, it's a good time to face it.
