At 66 living in Costa Rica on 8 dollars an hour teaching ESL everyday life was tough. Then it came to me...I COULD quit worrying. Just like that my thinking, my self talk changed. That was 8 years ago and I have not had 1 worrisome thought since even with a very hard daily life lately. That freedom from pressuring myself with worrisome thinking serves me well allowing great ideas to come, changing everything for the best. Within a few months I get to embark on the dream life I've yearned for. Tom Petty sang it...It'll all work out eventually. Timing is key. Staying grateful!
Once, upon a time, long ago, in a land, far away, a fatherless son, no men to teach him, was saved at 5yrs, didn't know of course, i,'m pastor, marvin, 73,yrs, young! In short, it is god's timing! And thats the pain! Want it now! He hears! Your prayer, think on this! Patience isn't a gift, you earn it! Whitch is a virtue! You use it. Or lose it, right? One last thing for now, emotional, and physical, pain is weakness, leaving the body. When the next round hits you, You already came to the truth, ❤
It's called make-believe, denial, schizophrenia. If the finger hurts, think the finger does not even exist. Like pain, worry is the product of something real, not imaginary, that you can "psychologize" away.
Why did Jesus on the cross cry out, Why have you forsaken me, when in the end everything is just fine? Resurrection. Ascension. Enthroned as the victor. Returning as king. Jesus, have you forgotten, don't worry, be happy?
No Marx and you are both boneheaded arrogant fools if you think religion is the opiate of the masses. Because in those tiny minds of yours there isnt some gnosis or actual understanding of reality just presuppositions and the supression of the truth in unrighteousness
