One negative/upsetting aspect of the awakening process

[Sagittarius]

Nonsense, all of it.

This life, on this planet, in this human form, can be a consistently joyful and fun experience.

When a new challenge is presented, face it earnestly and with an attitude to solve it with an open heart and accept the challenge.

You will then find that struggle is no longer a part of your definitions or vocabulary, and that instead, all of "life's woes" are simply new situations which you can have fun in the solving of them.

Especially once you've gotten in touch with the element of grace and faith, however it works best for you, however it makes sense to you.

As you are likely saying, true peace comes when even the greatest depression and agony becomes a great pleasure to experience. When peace is found in all states of mind, the concepts of pleasure and pain dissipate.

I have found my own formula for dealing with this, whenever I go through a period of decreased energy or a period where my energy is being used unwisely through criticism/aggrandizement of the self I have learnt to recognize it as such and then see the lessons of love inlaid in the experience. Once I perform that self recognition I feel better and if I'am very successful I will feel happier/lighter/clearer almost instantly.

It is not always that quick or easy and depending on the situation it may take days or weeks until I'am able to cleanse the grudges. The more I live and let go however the easier and quicker on average this becomes.

The more adept you become at this the more skilled at energy rerouting you become and the more you have in storage to be used to help follow your true will in the face of impossible odds and emotions.
