The Cost of Pain - Part I

Key Points: Although the experience of pain was evolved to convey information it has become too great a burden. Disrupting your mind, body, emotions, and human interactions, pain can lead to desperation. Avoiding emotional, psychic, spiritual, and mental pain can be very unwise; nonetheless, too many are trained out of even being aware of these kinds of pain. The greatest shock of being human on Earth is how different it is from being in Heaven, where there is no pain and all things are accepted. Fear challenges you at the moment, though pain grinds you down. One of the most common ways to deal with emotional pain is through blame. Your mind can be hurt by stagnation as much as by overwhelm. Chronic mental pain can become perceived by others as instructions to continue the original harm. By engaging mindfulness, you can release those patterns.

The Lessons of Pain:

As my esteemed colleague, Rachel Carson, told me earlier [Nikola Tesla Presents}, pain is meant as information primarily: as advice concerning damage, strain or wounds, as well as unmet needs, overwhelming emotional shocks, or the cost of change, as in grief. This definition might make more sense if your pain didn’t hurt so much! Pure information could be acted upon sensibly. Sadly, pain that is too great to bear or has become systemic and intractable: nerve pain from diseases; emotional agony that drives you to act from its blinding, overwhelming effects; pain which becomes fear or terror, rage, or vicious actions… these levels of pain seem counter-productive at best or insane at worst, and it is a wonder that Life has allowed them.

Granted, some animals seem to tolerate tremendous levels of pain. This is partly because, in herds, pods, or packs, the weak and injured are seen as a liability and are generally driven from the group or killed outright. Those animals that have the intelligence and foresight to care for wounded members, from elephants to dolphins to chimpanzees, are the exception to the rule, and human beings have even greater potential for compassion.

The greater the compassion a living being has, the greater that being’s intelligence. You see this every day: there are so many instances of human beings not only caring for other human beings but animals as well, sometimes at the risk of their lives. Is our care for other creatures because we are so sensitive to pain? Possibly: human beings, especially modern human beings, seem to feel pain more keenly, so much so that many still see animals’ stoicism as proof they do not feel pain at all.

The fact that the belief that animals cannot feel pain or emotions has fallen away in most cases is all to the good. Nevertheless, in your human world, there are a great number of less direct causes of pain than an open wound or a broken limb. The pain of your anxiety about unfavorable futures from changes in status, living situation, or your emotional environment, especially when it is engineered by those that appear to control your future unilaterally, can be quite hard to bear.

All of these types of pain have mental, emotional, and psychic causes. Unfortunately, your human body will take these anxieties and respond to them as though they were actual threats to its life, often creating very physical consequences through illnesses, thus weakening your whole human self. Surely, something has gone awry? Surely there is some kind of dysfunctional noise in the system so that the original information is lost in the carrier signals’ roar of agony? Things have gone too far if your circumstances continue to be anxious or threatened to the point that your body or your emotional self starts to consider pain as your normal, natural state of being.

When Pain Becomes Normal:

Constant, unremitting, ceaseless, and intransigent pain: for some people, this is their daily experience: You wake up to and go to bed with it; pain walks beside you whatever you are doing and gives you no rest. In a health care system that works to solve symptoms and not causes, drugs are given to ameliorate the pain, to mask it and drown it out. However, there are too many times when the pain returns even more sharply, demanding even more relief and starting the spiral of addiction: you do something that helps a little but not enough, so you do it again and again, more and more, hoping to solve the problem by managing the symptoms.

Masking the problem does nothing to solve the cause. This is as true of emotional pain as physical, spiritual, or mental agony. Mental pain might manifest itself in the compulsions to repeat old traumas, extreme and rigid ideologies (where the mind tenses against feeling the recurrence of old pain), or deep dissociation from others and Life. This is particularly true of the pain based upon temporal uncertainty, such as when you keep feeling and reacting to things long past or live in a constant state of overwhelm which drives you into hiding.

Sometimes, your natural desire to understand and solve the inner causes of your pain has you looking for the psychic or spiritual causes of physical and emotional pain, or trying to break up mental patterns to heal emotional trauma. These methods work often enough to be worth pursuing. If certain diseases can be brought upon you through emotionally or psychically-driven issues, such as weight gain because of trying to heal the hole inside of your soul that was caused by being violated sexually, then surely mental and emotional healing will help your body directly.

If you have cirrhosis of the liver caused by drinking the alcohol you believe you need so that you can calm your unexamined anxiety, it becomes abundantly clear that a disruption in your psyche, emotions, or mind can directly affect any other system. Conversely, there are times when the physical body affects the emotions, the mind, the psyche, and even your spirit. Because of the deep interrelation between you, your physical and subtle bodies, each affects the others.

Making Peace with Pain?

Physical pain is automatic, yet, in many ways, your response to it is also trained. When a young child is learning to walk and then falls, there is a space of several seconds before his young brain realizes that he has fallen and that perhaps he might be shocked or pained by this. Generally, the adults react to the fall much more quickly than the child, getting up anxiously and asking him if he is all right even before he knows. Sometimes it seems as though the child obliges his caretakers by crying abruptly, several beats after the adults have expressed concern, already assuming he would be crying.

For thousands of centuries, human beings, like all other animals, have dealt with numerous, constant irritations and discomforts. Fleas, ticks, lice, various fungi, and molds would attack everyone and everything; various internal parasites would cause several types of trouble, leading to constant pain of one level or another. Indeed, a certain amount of pain was deemed normal! Your body learned to sleep despite the discomfort of all you had was straw or even just the ground for a bed, to say nothing of sleeping with all of the fleas, bedbugs, lice, and so on.

Yet now in the modern age, and especially in developed countries, you are rarely plagued by parasites of any kind. Your beds are generally soft, dry, and comfortable; you usually have cool air in the summer and warm air in the winter. In short, instead of various levels of constant pain or discomfort, comfort is perceived as your normal state of physical being.

Despite all of your physical comfort, many of you are over-using pain killers, alcohol, or other chemical distractions to epidemic levels, hoping to remove the pain you are feeling. Some of you, so fraught with emotional agony, distract yourself from that pain with the cruel pain of cutting yourselves! How can this amount of pain be possible in the face of all the comfort you feel?

Is this only because the body is so used to living with constant irritations that it must invent pain to feel normal again? Certainly, a lifestyle that is too clean, too antiseptic, can destroy the biome in the intestines to the point where your intestinal organisms need to be replaced. You have been taught for so long that eating dung is disgusting and cannot see why foals eat their mother’s droppings. But the foal has instinct’s wisdom and gets his much-needed intestinal flora and beneficial bacteria that way. Is there something similar going on with pain? If we don’t have some, must we then invent it?

Sadly, this seems to be the case. Some people seem to go out of their way to create tumult, fear, and distress, or devise specific steps to harm others and themselves. There seems little or no logic in reacting to pain by spreading it outwards, especially when you harm the lives of those you love and that love you. This is because the content of the information, the original reason for the pain, has become masked, hidden, or confused. Because you do not understand the reason for the pain and cannot decipher its message, you ask, or demand, that others help you.

Some of you, on the other hand, have learned how to deal with pain by refusing to succumb to it to the point you are unable to feel it at all: a negative reaction to pain. A young girl with endometriosis that is told again and again, You’re not hurting! You shouldn’t be feeling any pain with this monthly stuff: it’s natural! or whatever, might train her body to be unable to feel the pain she is feeling even though, by most accounts, the pain of endometriosis is similar to that of childbirth.

Similarly, a parent with rheumatoid arthritis that has the family responsibility of caring for an aged grandmother in even worse shape might just get used to: I am always hurting at level three or four. It’s only a little bother: it’s only ‘real’ pain when it gets up to a seven out of ten. People such as these seem to have learned how to handle pain, though you cannot always know whether or not it was because they had to, or because they chose to.

Sadly, some of you might feel tremendous, agonizing emotional pain, such as the emotional trauma of being the only survivor in a car accident that has taken your spouse, children, and your best friend all at once, where there was no hope of saving any of them. That is a pain you would wake up to every day, sleep with every night, eat with all of your meals, and never be out of its vicious tortures.

If you were unlucky enough to see others killed near you, say in war or gang violence, or if you had watched a beloved one waste away, losing memory after memory, precious thought after precious thought to Alzheimer’s and there was nothing that could have been done, you experience daily agony of mind, heart, and soul. This emotional pain is almost as dire as the physical pain of a devastating injury, intentional harm, or damage from terrorism, hate crimes, or war.

In cases like these, the notion that you might be able to choose not to feel pain is quite seductive, though becoming immune to pain takes tremendous mental, emotional, and even spiritual discipline, unless you are genetically designed to be pain-free, as some are. Prompted by your lizard brain, you move away from pain whenever you can. Rather than feel pain, you are all too likely to mask pain, dull it, distract yourself from it, or even kill yourself outright. Much of this is your physical instinct to get away from the pain so you can escape whatever has caught you. But when you cannot move away or escape the pain, then something else must be done.

Pain’s Messages:

As you might guess, each of your experiential bodies feels a specific kind of pain. Emotional pain can be sharp and hard, even sharper than many forms of physical pain, and can last for a lifetime. It seems strange to talk about mental pain: isn’t the mind, rather like the brain, unable to feel pain in itself? Perhaps there is some truth to this, but you can certainly have the mental pain of frustration. When you are recovering from a stroke or brain injury, or if you have some form of congenital issues that cause your brain to operate very differently from the norm, then you feel mental and emotional pain in the forms of frustration, the ache of loss or lack, and grief at being unable to act, communicate or express.

Almost everyone is familiar with emotional pain, though too many try and avoid it as though it were dangerous or life-threatening physical pain. As I said earlier, prompted by your DNA, you know that to live, it is wise and to run from or fight the thing that is causing you the physical harm.

Conversely, running away from emotional pain is very unwise: unlike physical pain, which is limited by the very nature of your physical body, which always remembers that too much damage kills you, emotional pain can be as crippling as any physical injury, perhaps even more, and it can last longer. When you are feeling emotional pain, you may lash out at someone helping you or, paradoxically, stop caring about yourself enough so that you increase your and other’s emotional distress in large ways or small, including masking the pain to the point of killing yourself.

Granted, when the pain goes away you can apologize. Unfortunately not only does the emotional pain last longer when spread around in your living environment; your emotional pain will try to heal itself through expression, even though getting angry or harming another to try to drive the pain away does nothing to heal that emotional pain. Emotional pain must be dealt with through love within and for yourself. Others may love you well and wish the best for you, yet if you don’t have love enough for yourself to feel you are worthy of healing. then you will never get better. You must start with the truth within self-love first.

For emotional pain, the thing to remember is to experience it thoroughly and deeply rather than run from it: that is the best way emotional pain can be healed. Your culture does you a great disservice if it tells you, Be a man! Stop sniveling! or, Stop being a Little Miss Crybaby! It’s been long enough since he/she/they died. Get over it already! Far too often, these toxic messages last for decades because they were given to you before your conscious mind was adroit enough to understand how limiting such messages were. If not faced, emotional pain can act like a black hole, warping everything around it, eventually eating you alive.

Spiritual Pain:

Spiritual pain is somewhat like emotional pain: it also needs to be confronted to be healed. Your spirit, which we will define as your source of inspiration; courage; wonder, and awe; joy and often your creativity, may seem too subtle at first to be perceived, perhaps too subtle to engage enough to heal any pain within it.

Still, an ache in your spirit can weigh you down. If your inspiration, creativity, and sense of wonder are constantly put down, belittled, or, worse yet, used by another solely for his purposes, this ache can render your days gray and meaningless, written in shapes of agony, and worse. This is because your spirit’s pain will lead you directly to hopelessness, cynicism, depression, and despair, which are the very opposite of a positive spirit’s natural optimism, compassion, joy, and courage.

When you feel deep spiritual misery, you cannot escape, spiritual pain keeps you caught because your spirit will create a positive feedback loop. Your spirit wishes to show you its pain. Yet, too often your spirit does not understand the process of its healing well enough to realize that showing you such things automatically helps you create more misery and hopelessness rather than less. Your spirit is much like an angel: it is made of love, surrounded by love, and works to expand love, but is unable to comprehend un-love. For most spirits in pain, hitting rock bottom acts as a reset: losing everything can allow the spirit to assess its true situation, remove its confusion, and open to the Love, Grace, and Healing of the spirit’s essential core, the divine presence.

Not only the spirit, but the soul can be burdened with pain. Different from your spirit’s pain, the soul’s pain can manifest in astonishingly paradoxical ways. When in pain, your soul could make its human self live a series of lives that are all one type: frustrating and useless or self-destructive and damaging. The soul’s pain can create one life after another of self-sacrifice with little returns or even any healing to follow, creating a life of someone who gives and gives until he or she is empty. The soul naturally wants to experience both giving and taking, but when pain blinds it, the soul will try either to give to others or take from others unilaterally.

You can heal your soul by using your mind through your emotions to re-energize your spirit. The best way is to perceive and understand the weight of past patterns, use your mind to clear them emotionally, releasing them with the power of your healed sense of self. Past-life therapy and inner child work all help with this; shamanic practices, healing ancestral lineages, and even magic might be brought to heal your soul’s pain.

Dealing with Emotional Pain:

Emotional pain must be faced and experienced because tamping it down, burying it, or avoiding it takes up more and more of your human self’s energy. Unfortunately, you are generally given very few tools to confront pain wisely with love. Although emotional pain can run very, very deep, the greater part of your culture promotes surface solutions to surface problems, overlooking how deep emotional pain can be.

As others have said, emotions are energy, and thus they cannot be destroyed once they are created. Their energy can be changed or used: I have already spoken about using anger as fuel for action and change. Unfortunately, deeper emotional trauma is harder to change: when you have an emotion trapped outside of Time in a state of shock, you cannot remove this emotional pain easily. You must use, change, or heal it.

Granted, looking inside of your emotional pain can be quite a challenge. Especially in a consumer-driven culture where you are taught, if not practically browbeaten into, looking for solutions outside of yourself, the idea of going into those alien depths of your old hurts or new pain quite intimidates you. What would you do down there, in the depths of your misery, feelings of rejection, loss, shock, and grief? How can you work with these things? Better, far better, to pacify them, throwing the meat to Cerberus at the gates of Hell and turning back, rather than confronting the beast any further and enter the depths.

Now: it is no mistake that the name for Hell’s guardian and the brain’s most mental part, the cerebrum, have the same root: in their instinctive wisdom, the Greeks realized that the mind could guard those depths, for the mind can come up with more than one threat, more than one excuse to keep you away, giving you countless reasons not to confront your emotional pain. Some of those reasons increase your pain: insisting that your pain is someone else’s fault; that diving into these depths and confronting them will damage or at least debilitate you; that the whole project is terrifying and unwise to attempt. Pain hurts enough as it is! Why go into it?

Yet if the mind
