Acting or Healing?

Acting or Healing?

This new post is a result of reading a "myspace page" blog post from a wonderful woman who was describing her intense depression. She was deeply identified with these thoughts as being her. The follow is the path out of who you’re not.

Please ask me questions, answers to them are why I am here.

Acting or Healing?

Acting - We are all actors and actresses...

When many of the my friends on this myspace page do it, it is for a living, and it is done for TV, Movies or Music Videos - that we all love to watch...

When we do it in life, often it is not nearly so pleasant...

We play the "temporary" emotional actors, and actresses. We are playing a "emotional role" in the play we call "life" - not only do we not get paid for this role it, it is where all of our pain comes from...

Our acting roles change, sometimes many times, throughout just one day.

We will wear many different "emotional outfits or costumes" as we act out these emotional roles we call "us"...

We play these daily acting roles of Depression, Sadness, Loneliness (even when we are with people, we play the role of loneliness) Anger, Hate, Violence, and many more...

We play these roles and call them us...

Let me say that again...

We play these roles and we call them us...



Are you having a light bulb moment yet?


Why do we do this?

Because we believe our thoughts "at the moment", are who we are...

"Who we really are goes" unconscious as we act out these "emotion roles" and we call them us, we interact with others and wonder why they just don't seem to get us. Which us? Which acting role where you playing and calling yourself?

Are you really anger?

Should you go to the social security administration and get your name changed from "Tom" to "anger"?


Are you starting to see how silly these "thoughts" are that we call us?

Here is the simple truth..

"When you believe your thoughts and identify with them as really being who you are, you will suffer, when you question them and dis-identify with them you no longer suffer..."


Will you continue to play this role in which you should get academy acting award for, or will you question it and ask -

Who would I be without this thought?

How would I feel without this thought?

The “me” that is watching “these negative thoughts” is not that thought - as I can observe it...

Who is this me that is that is watching this negative thought?

Healing happens...

Peace happens...

Love happens...

You happen...

You are that peace and love, that stillness that is observing the emotion...

Just be you...

More to come...

I love you...
