Thank you Aby for sharing your story. Pain is a big motivator, it will bring you to your knees at times; but that is often that is the stuff that pushes a person beyond boundaries to experience a new way of being.
After experiencing severe depression, and a near suicide attempt; I decided to include gratitude in my life. I was after all glad that I was not successful, and I was so grateful for my family's support and love. After reading "A New Earth", by Eckhart Tolle. I realized that my ego was in charge, and that I was missing out. I focused on the present moment, and in that moments; everything was okay. I had a roof over my head, food to eat, and a family to love. I felt safe.
I continued to work until I was 64. My job was grueling as I was behind a computer 10 hours a day, under pressure in a salaried job. After I retired something amazing happened to me; I relaxed. I found nature and made friends with wildlife. I felt inspired to get up in the morning and watch the sun rise, and listen to the birds sing. Creativity flowed, and I am learning to make ceramics.
I have continued to grow Spiritually, and have enjoyed many new beginnings. I loved the book, The Four Agreements, and have read many of the Toltec wisdom by Don Miguel Ruiz and Don Jose Ruiz. I am trying to follow my intuition, and love people, despite the things they may say. I retired near Sedona, Arizona, a highly spiritual place to live, and I am so happy to be alive.
That is a very intensive life story! I feel bad for you my friend because of the severities of suffering in different forms - but glad that you are awake! I'm not awake, but I remember Yolande Duran-Serrano lost her son after her full blown awakening in France - she said she 'experienced the pain as a visitor' while her family thought she was in shock, it didn't shake her inner peace, and perhaps her own knowing that she was eternal too.
Suffering is only necessary UNTIL we realize it’s unnecessary. Our thinking mind makes us suffer by demanding the situations and people to be different than what it is 😊
Thank you for sharing your story. Since it is so much like my own, I won't re-tell it here. Just know that I deeply value and appreciate your willingness to share your story and the strength you have found to let go. That takes courage. You help me to find my own.
