Too Scared To Live Too Scared To Die

Too Scared To Live Too Scared To DieSometimes Life can become such a burden, that your thoughts and feelings succumb to an over powering anxiety, a point where you find near impossible to come back from. Unlike any other anxiety, this does not pass away over minutes or hours. You are at a stand still in time, too scared to live and too scared to die.

You are trapped in your own world, made cloudier by every thought, pulling you deeper and deeper. Everything seems to pass as if in slow motion. You feel like anything could end your world at any minute, and your scared of the thought that you could die and cross into the unknown.

Everything becomes dark and gloomy, without meaning, or feeling. You wish you could pass back into your old world, where you did not feel this pain. If only you could, you have passed over the threshold of your feelings, left in a world bereft of happiness and any reason to even exist.

Even God at this moment can feel a long way away. Your plea’s for help go unheard in your mind. Friends and family, seem cut off from you and untouchable.

You are not alone my friends, the feelings described have been felt by many in this world. What makes you feel more alone is not being able to reach out to see the warmth of souls that have trod this path before you.

You have been brought to this dark night of the soul for a reason. To stop you in your tracks. Mental fatigue has brought about, the slowing down of your mind, body and spirit. Life and it’s many problems has brought you to a halt.

Only when you are truly open, only when your mind and soul are at one, will God be able to garnish you with all the splendours of Heaven.

You must stop your struggle. Stop struggling, now for answers, as the answers, you seek are heart felt. Not one’s of the mind. God can only communicate with your heart and soul.

It is your heart and soul that resonates with the universal wisdom’s passed down through time immemorial. So let go my friends, of your mental fight with everything and anything and be at one with God through your heart and soul, while you pass through your dark night.

God is made of love and will never leave you one moment longer in pain than you can bear. Your dark night is an initiation, enabling you to pass into the kingdom of God, brought alive upon this earth.

Do Not Let Anger Control You

Do Not Let Anger Control YouSome Western psychologists say that we should not repress our anger but express it—that we should practice anger! However, we must make an important distinction here between mental problems that should be expressed and those that should not. Sometimes you may be truly wronged and it is right for you to express your grievance instead of letting it fester inside you. But you should not express it with anger. If you foster disturbing negative minds such as anger they will become a part of your personality; each time you express anger it becomes easier to express it again. You do it more and more until you are simply a furious person completely out of control. Thus, in terms of mental problems, there are certainly some that are properly expressed but others that are not.

At first when you try to control disturbing negative minds it is difficult. The first day, the first week, the first month you cannot control them well. But with constant effort your negativities will gradually decrease. Progress in mental development does not come about through taking medicines or other chemical substances; it depends on controlling the mind.

By Kadampa geshe Langri Tangpa


The mind can be very unruly, it can often lead us astray, due to its impatience, the mind is not patient by nature. The mind goes wherever it wants without constraint.

It takes practice to gain control over your mind, it takes time and a lot of unlearning of bad habits, for you to gain sufficient control, so that you are not led by its friend the ego.

If you suffer with anger, do not blame yourself, for this blame only inflames your lack of self worth, the usual cause for anger. If you loved yourself fully, you would have no need to ever get angry.

Educate your mind, and your mind will learn to understand its own anger and impatience. It will understand that it can get what it wants by other means. It can communicate its needs by more loving ways.

You do not need to slay your anger, you need to understand it, and understand yourself more fully. By loving yourself, by bring love instead of anger to yourself, you bring your whole mind and body back into balance.
