The question of feeling Lost depressed and hopeless often arises and comes in many shapes and forms. It is a good statement to make because awareness of what is really going on for you in your life is the starting point, or the tipping point for transformation. No one, is excluded or beyond help for feeling these things. They come naturally to us today in a world that thought it would thrive on stress, separation and the pursuit of pleasure. Bit the world was wrong. History teaches us that we’ve learned nothing from history and as the world wars on today, so the wars start inside our own heads, hearts and hands. This is what Mark had to suggest to a current reader in a similar position.

QUESTION : “Dear Center for Healing – I am lost, depressed and have lost all hope…help!”

MARKS ANSWER : Trust the process of life because that’s how all relationships are built. Then, re-open your body-heart-mind. It is far bigger than you could ever try to think so don’t think you’ve solved any puzzles just yet. The only puzzle you may have solved is the 500 piece puzzle you may believe is your life. You see your puzzle box as a family, a tree and a dog, maybe even a sunset. But life is a million piece puzzle. If you zoom out of yourself you will see the puzzle box is brighter than a thousand suns and ten thousand things. It is a much bigger picture than you saw.

You will do well to trust the process of life. You will do well to let go of attachments to puzzles you have solved in your mind and left undone in reality. Nothing in the world is off balance. Nothing is out of place for very long at all. When you see it all works for you, not against you, nor to you, you will start to open up to Universal truths that only a #contemplative mind can piece together. Absolutely nothing happens in Gods world by mistake. How then, should anything be amiss?

Parting Shot

This quote taken from the book the Road less travelled is one of my favourites. Look at the first sentence and you will perhaps agree right away that life is difficult. Most people however don’t read or grasp the weight and power that the second sentence holds for them. It is the way through the labyrinth. It is the way out of perceived stuckness and brings light that dissolves all darkness.

Oftentimes we fight with life. We are at war with ourselves God and the world and we don’t even realise it sometimes. Wall brings pain. When we end the war with acceptance the obvious result is peace. When we start pursuing the truth we will find peace beyond all understanding as Christ suggested to his disciples. When we accept our past, the environment and other people and places and things exactly as they are we stop being disturbed.

That means we stop being lost depressed and hopeless too. Beyond the weight of our personalities (masks) there is a wonderful, creative, passionate and hopeful you. This could be called your soul, spirit or Sacred Self. When you start seeing life with these contemplative eyes, the world itself changes. Just like magic! Be that change and don’t waste another minute being lost depressed and hopeless. Rather learn how to transcend these fear states of being and remember the old adage, to thine own self be true. Lost depressed and hopeless ends. Life doesn’t. Namaste.
