The Secret To Fulfillment
July 13th, 2007 at 11:38 pm
Hi Friend
Everybody wants fulfillment. Filled by what, we don't know.
We just know hollowness and emptiness hurt. We want to be
filled.
And so we go looking out in the world. Looking for the
person or the thing that will satisfy that unending longing
we feel inside.
We can spend our whole lifetime looking. Many people do.
And we can end up just as empty as when we started.
Other people - savvy as they are - hear they should be
looking inside. Makes sense when you think about it.
Especially if you've already searched outside for
fulfillment, and learned the hard way: you can't buy a
house big enough to make you fulfilled.
You can't have enough money in the bank to create the
feeling of fulfillment.
You can't have enough friends.
Not that there's anything wrong with those things. But
they have nothing to do with fulfillment. It's like
trying to eat a mirage. It's like watching the Food
Channel on TV and expecting to get stuffed.
So it makes sense to look inside. But so often when we
start looking inside we don't like what we see. Because
the first thing you come across is the fluff and the froth
and the excrement: the cloud of unresolved emotion that
surrounds almost every person on this earth.
The reason it's unresolved is because you didn't want
(or maybe didn't know how) to deal with it in the first
place. That's why people are so driven to look outside
themselves. Because they see the froth and conclude they
ARE the froth. Or else the froth is all they can find.
They don't realize how easy it can be to blow through it.
How? By processing your thoughts and feelings.
Processing is the line that separates genius from insanity.
It's a way for you to blow through your own froth so you
can get to what's real. And it's SO EASY TO DO. Too easy.
Deadly effective, though.
Just get out paper and pen and start writing out your
frustrations, your hurt, your anger, your bitterness, your
fears. Even your pity!
Once you 'get it' that processing really works - your life
changes on a fundamental level. It's like receiving the
key to freedom. You begin to feel hope. You begin to take
back your power.
But as wonderful as it is, processing will not give you
fulfillment. It just removes the froth so you can see
what's more real. What's behind - or beyond - the fluff.
And once you do, now it gets a little more intense. Now
you're faced with your blockages, your boundaries, your
walls. The walls of separation.
And the processing reaches a point of diminishing return.
Not that you ever reach a point in your life where
processing isn't necessary. But there are certain places
where you need something more.
The inner walls are made of pain. They exude pain.
Unexpressed pain. And you can't talk your way out of
pain. I've proven that. To myself, at least.
We all have walls of pain inside us that separate us from
fulfillment. To one degree or another.
Walls separate us. Separation causes pain. Separation
keeps us from fulfillment. Little mystery there. It's
only a mystery if you don't look at it and face up to it.
Here's one way to face it:
Imagine that separation; that pain; as being like a
'blanket
of bitterness' or a 'cloak of frustration'. Whatever you
want to call it. Imagine this blanket as being made of barb
wire and stickers and thorns and small irritating pieces of
metal. Or something similar. Use what makes the most sense
to you.
A blanket of painful uncomfortability.
Spend a little time each day draping the cloak around you.
Then FEEL your bitterness... your hostility... your
frustration... whatever comes up. Let the feelings absorb
into you. Right through your skin. Feel the rawness.
Feel it cleanly.
Meaning: don't tell yourself a story about those feelings.
Don't explain them. Don't justify them.
If you feel them cleanly, they will release on their own.
If you don't feel them cleanly - they will NOT release.
That's the key.
The more you can FEEL what's in that blanket of pain - the
thinner the blanket becomes. The more powerful YOU become.
Because you're taking back your power. You're dealing with
life proactively. On your terms.
And the closer you come to true fulfillment. Which is worth
more than all the money in the world.
Fulfillment only comes when you completely and totally and
honestly give up your delusion of separateness.
You won't get there in a day. But you can start right now.
Another way to tear down those painful walls of separation
is by traveling directly to them. Deal with the walls
directly. For an introductory audio on the topic, go to
