Nice to know you all love each other! meanwhile, I so need understanding of "When the center of gravity of our lives lie outside of us, bad things will only continue to happen" Feeling very emotional at the moment and of course "Stupid" because I can't understand what it is your saying!I swear sometimes I feel like i'm twoyears old or I'm in a different country and I don't understand the language!So now i'm going to cry just like a 2 yr. old !!

i often cry like a 2 year old its satisfying
I dunno Tigerpaws are you talking about the rod again? i have a rod and it is my centre of gravity and
you could also say they talking about.....self love and self worth and self reference so....you need to be the centre of your own universe if someone else is...or something else well your not incharge of your own happiness then or destiny and this of course is dangerous never give your power away...some people say...

there is a place you can reach where you are the centre of your own Universe ...and then no matter what happens or what people do to you..it doesnt matter because you are a strong and centred individual and you know that you choose your own mind

so you choose the mind of peace..no matter what happens
rather than the mind of fear

am I right Tigerpaws...see to me all teachings are interlinked ...the Buddhist, the Christians they all say the same thing

its all about perspectives and if you to control your own perspective and avoid problems you must be your own centre of gravity

Blackdog I think you hit the nail right on the head.

Insecure it is ok to feel overwhelmed and like crying. It takes times and you are on the path....

BTW....love you too girlfriend.

now can we group hug?
please?
(sigh)

O.K. group hug!But I still like you all are speaking another language! or I'm having some sort of Mental Block!!

Having the "Center of Gravity" in your life means that you are at the center of your world and that you have control of the elements of your life than encircle and enclose you.

In other words, you are in control of your life.

Everyone loses control, from time to time.

An illness, an accident, a lost job...all can destabilize a life. In general, however; if you were raised in or experience serious trauma in your life...having control and center in your life can be very hard to find.

Insecure, my heart goes out to you. I wish that I could find the words to bring you peace and comfort. Perhaps understanding can go, in the stead of the words I can't find for you, and help to center you.

Tigerpaws thank you! perhaps this is why "Control" is very important to me that I become a "ControlFreak" and when the "Control" is taken from me I sink into the "Black Hole"! or "Manic I think the "Black Hole" is scarier besides the "Manic" is usually short lived! I don't ever see me as being centered! Blessings to all!

Clair had said to me.... "you do not need to be the general manager of the universe Rae". I am also a control freak and used to get real edgy when things were not all in order. ( running MY way)
I found out Clair was right. Once I accepted the fact that instead of being the GM of the entire universe, I could only cotrol myself..... Well things got a lot easier in life.

I know you have a very important job. Take care of work and youself. The rest of the universe will find it's way and you will find your center of gravity.
