Power in pain.

You must experience pain. Like you must experience happiness or pleasure or lust. It isn't tied to anything you believe you should be avoiding or anything on a more personal scale which stops with you. Your pain is not only meant for you and the focus of your selfish self.

Pain may feel personal,

but I think it's even deeper to be honest, it's not just a part of you; it's a part of life, you are life. It's what makes us human, it's experiencing what we all experience and what makes us alive, connect and we can recognize in one another. We share.

There's not a soul on this planet who hasn't experienced emotional pain. Pain like joy , is woven in the tapestry of our collective memories and consciousness. It binds us together. It’s an experience widening our capabilities in reaching out to one another.

So, when pain arrives next at your door; Sacrifice yourself in order to experience without resistance, that what binds us together in all our humanness.

Our openness to experience is our sacred sacrifice to life in all her greatness. It connects us to the depths of our souls and is purification we surrender to. Our pain is the prelude which glorifies our power. -ilanga
