Be a peeper. Step back away from the story that you as spirit in a body are experiencing and peep at it as if through a window. How does this change in perspective change things for you? You are not stuck in the story, you know. Or perhaps you don’t know, and that is why you are suffering more than is needed. Suffering gets your attention, but it need not endure for longer than it takes to remind the self, “I AM far more than the story this soul is living through. I therefore shift beyond the story and see it for what it is.” And with this shift comes as much peace as you are willing to accept, for it is always and already accessible with a shift in point of view.
You are so very loved.
Peeping at life! This is very instructive. Now I know I can remove myself from the experiences that have consumed my mind, and objectively appraise the situation. I can now analyse the issues dispassionately as an outsider. This is new to me. I hope I gain new perspectives that redefine the problems for me and offer comfort and peace.
