Divine Suicide : A Talk by Jeff Foster

I listened to this video by Jeff Foster again this afternoon, I believe I shared it with older followers four years ago.. What he speaks of still resonates with me and echoes something spiritual teacher and body intuitive Carolyn Myss talks of as ‘divine madness’ this is the suffering we go through and perhaps the wish to die to old false selves that is really going on for many of us as we being to wake up to who we really are as an eternal spirits and essence beyond so much of our conditioning..

I hope readers get something out of it again.. It made me realize that those times I am just with my sister quietly and even when I talk of our past give her more than offering directives or solutions, this is what triggered her with the friend of hers who she found dictatorial.

It may be hard for some of us to help those who are going through such a profound inner spiritual death/rebirth/transformation but those of us who receive this kind of gift from others at our lowest point (as I have at times) know how precious it is. Like Jeff there was a long period in which I did not wish to live OR die.. but I just was not in my essence.. that seems to be happening slowly and it involves a lot of deaths and sheddings along the way as well as a lot of recalling to mind key incidents that made living as my true self feel too impossible or dangerous

I hope you enjoy this video and the song following by Missy Higgins that talk of finding a way to befriend others undergoing the dark night experience.

"The religious naturalist is provisioned with tales of natural emergence that are, to my mind, far more magical than traditional miracles. Emergence is inherent in everything that is alive, allowing our yearning for supernatural miracles to be subsumed by our joy in the countless miracles that surround us." Ursula Goodenough How to describe oneself? People are a mystery and there is so much more to us than just our particular experiences or occupations. I could write down a list of attributes and they still might not paint a complete picture pf Deborah Louise and in any case it would not be the full truth of me. I would say that my purpose here on Wordpress is to express some of my random experiences, thoughts and feelings, to share about my particular journey and explore some subjects dear to my heart, such as emotional recovery, healing and astrology while posting up some of the prose/poems which are an outgrowth of my labours with life, love and relationships. If anything I write touches you I would be so pleased to hear for the purpose of reaching out and expressung ourselves is hopefully to connect with each other and find where our souls meet.

  1. Thank you for sharing that wonderful video and message. I loved the idea of not bringing more war into the room, definitely works for interacting with forces within ourselves too. His words really touched me, I do feel what he talked about is what I need in those low moments. Not answers or solutions, but acceptance and presence from another. So glad you shared this video, it feels very validating to me. ❀️
