The Value of Suffering

August 22,2011

Why do we suffer? This has to be one of the more frequently asked of the larger questions about life. Millions across the globe fall peril to daily suffering that often seems senseless. There is hardly a soul alive today that has not faced some form of either physical or mental suffering along the road of life. So where is the redemptive value in this pain?

Since life is a never-ending process of the expansion of awareness, the direction this expansion takes is based on our intents and desires. There is a certain process of gaining the knowledge necessary to achieve these creative desires. Suffering is simply one part of this process. These desires could be as simple as wanted to eat and stay sheltered or as more complex as building a large business or sharing your creativity with the world, either way there is a process to accomplish these ideas.

When information hits your senses that is not in line with what you believe is true about yourself, you suffer because of it. For example if you believe your particular job is the only way you can provide for yourself and you lose the job, your suffering will be a result of a mind that says I will not be able to provide for myself. However, if your belief is that you will always be able to provide for yourself and you lose your job, you may not suffer at all but actually may become excited about the new opportunities that may unfold for you. The suffering in this case is to represent to you that what you believe about how you provide is NOT true.

The previous example can be used for any circumstance including the loss of a loved one, physical illness, financial concern, family troubles, relationship issues etc. The point being offered is that the value in the suffering is in the underlying message it is sending you regarding what you believe to be true. Suffering is telling you that the belief you hold that causes the suffering is NOT THE ULTIMATE TRUTH ABOUT WHO YOU ARE. There is a greater truth that is waiting to be embraced and when it is embraced suffering dissolves and peace and tranquility are yours to be experienced.

This is not presented due to a lack of empathy or compassion for what anyone is going through in the world today. It is just the opposite. It is out off the greatest empathy, compassion and love that this information is offered as the way to experience the greatest amount of joy, peace and creative fulfillment along the journey of life.

Suffering births questions. It is these questions that lead you to more of the answers you are truly looking for as you continue on your creative path. Suffering is simply a more pronounced way that the universe nudges you towards the great gift of self-reelection and self-awareness that allows you to experience more of the grandeur, magnificence and possibility of who you really are. The more you can see this the less you will suffer as you will see that life is always working with you and your deepest of desires.

Your Transformation is Happening Right NOW

March 20,2011

This moment, these words, this information, it is all part of your continual evolution of awareness. This is an evolution that never stops. You are on a creative journey to more and more of an understanding regarding who and what you truly are.

What is so elegant and so magical about life is that what you experience in every moment of every day is related to your truest intentions and desires. An integral piece of information is being brought to you by what you see or face each day or a lesson is being shown in an obstacle you are trying to overcome. It is all about how you learn more, grow more and continue to create and evolve more.

Whatever you choose in each moment by way of your desires is part of your creative display and the experience and the feedback you feel from that particular experience, whether it be positive or negative, leads to more awareness and a greater sense understanding about yourself and the world around you.

The universe is ALWAYS listening to you. The major question is what are you asking to know, have, experience or feel? Are you aware that in your greatest challenges are the answers to these questions? Are you aware that these answers are in every relationship you have and most predominately they are in the relationships that give you the most conflict and resistance? Are you aware that what you see happening in real time across the world is ALL FOR YOU.

The process of life is a process of transformation. A transformation into a new version of yourself that allows you the opportunity to experience more love, compassion and understanding, mainly for yourself. As a result of this new self-love the world benefits as more peace and love flow through you positively affecting everyone you pass in your world.

So as you go through your day pay attention to what shows up, whether it is with your family, your community or your world. Be open to the gift in it for you and the perfection of the experience. Have faith in the never-ending support that is around you. Being present to life this way makes the journey a whole lot more interesting!

The first place you might want to start doing this is with this message that you just directed to yourself right here. You are now well on your way to a new state of being and presence. May you realize all the love and joy that awaits you in this space….

Much Peace & Love,

Howard Falco

What this moment means for YOU

May 23,2010

Every moment of your life has an exact meaning. No moment is wasted. Each one serves a different purpose and carries a different message, but the events of life are all individually and collectively presented to serve YOU.

Which moment is always the most important one? THIS ONE.

In this moment you are bringing yourself the unavoidable truth that reality is here to serve you. You ask the questions and then the information comes into your experiences, just like this blog right now. Sometimes you see it and sometimes you don’t. In this moment the universe is just screaming a little louder at you, YOU HAVE BEEN HEARD, ARE BEING HEARD, AND WILL ALWAYS BE HEARD.

The question isn’t, “Is the Universe listening?”, the question is, “ARE YOU?”

Keep asking your questions. Watch what enters your space. Believe in your worth and perfection. Have faith in your endless creative ability, and most importantly….

Love who you are ☺

Oh, and thank yourself and the world that serves you for reminding you of all of this through this message!

There is SO much more yet to come for you….

Much Peace & love.

Questions & Answers About Life Part 3

November 30,2009

The following are questions submitted in a recent webinar I held in October titled “Master Your Reality”. Each week a few new questions and responses from the event will be posted.

QUESTION: Why is it so easy to help others in their situation but, we don’t see or are mystified by our own situations?

RESPONSE: To see the truth or the solution in your own self you have to be good and ready. Also, once you see it, it makes it harder to avoid change. Change is the very thing that the ego often fights against. We hold tight to our stories even though many times they contain plenty of suffering. We do so because the fear of the unknown is perceived to be worse then the current suffering. Even though ironically it is what eventually liberates us from our suffering.

It feels good to offer another the truth when we see it clearly. However, for ourselves it has to be when we are finally and completely ready.

QUESTION: Is it Ok to feel pain and disappointment in life as long as you don’t make it apart of you?

RESPONSE: It’s not about being ok or not ok, rather it’s about what you desire to experience. If you would rather feel pleasure, joy and peace then yes, when you feel these negative feelings or they begin to creep up look to discover the thoughts or beliefs behind the feelings that support them and look to change them. This is how these feelings become less of a part of you and your story.

Challenge the “automatic” thoughts that sponsor any negative feelings you have and you will find the true source of your disharmony. These are the lies that have been lived out as truths in your life. The question to ask yourself is “Do these thoughts serve me now based on what I desire to experience?” If not, continue to challenge and change them into the thoughts that will support you on your creative journey.

QUESTION: How do you balance the desire to give to others ie, friends, family, clients,…. with your own necessity to take care of your own responsibilities, how do you learn to work smarter rather than harder?

RESPONSE: You can only do what you can do. The key is to make sure that at the end of the day you are content and happy knowing you have always done you best – for that day. To carry any burden of regret is counterproductive to your next day. Working smarter is about being in the most balanced and clear state of mind so that a more creative and powerful energy can flow out of you. If you feel you need to be everything to everyone else it is because you have not come to love and acceptance with who you are regardless of what you do for others.

Ironically coming to this beautiful state allows you to be just that for everybody. No matter what the key is to always know that for this moment you are good enough

Questions & Answers About Life Part 2

November 04,2009

The following are questions submitted in a recent webinar I held in October titled “Master Your Reality”. Each week a few new questions and responses from the event will be posted.

QUESTION: How can I accept that everything happens for a reason when I am at my breaking point while I am going through the process?

RESPONSE: You do not have to accept this. You can choose to see nothing but randomness or bad luck but it will bring you no closer to a solution for your perceived problems. Accepting that things are happening for a reason gives you the chance to discover where the reality before you is coming from.

Accepting that there is a purpose puts you in the path to find it, resolve it and hence change your reality so you no longer feel like you are at a breaking point. Acceptance IS the beginning of the pathway to change.

QUESTION: Can you please talk more about how the universe is a giant mirror? What does that mean for our behavior and the way we think? How do we use this knowledge to our advantage?

RESPONSE: What you believe is true is mirrored in the way you act. The universe reflects you actions back to you by what you experience from these thoughts and actions. When what you believe is not in sync with the reality you experience, you are confronted with this truth. Often times this is in painful ways. The purpose of the disharmony is to nudge you closer and closer to collective truth. When what you believe is in harmony with reality, you experience total peace and fulfillment.

They way this knowledge can be used is how it allows you to be more aware of who you really are leading you to become a very powerful creator of your reality.

QUESTION: What do you do when your practicing these techniques and are suddenly stuck a serious emotional blow? How do you bounce back?

RESPONSE: You realize that you have overcome it ALL and that you are overcoming it ALL and that you will overcome it ALL.

Emotional blows reveal attachments to the things in your outer world. The key is to enjoy and cherish those things while realizing that who you are at your very essence is always beyond the need for them. This allows for the most sacred and fulfilling experience of these things while you are experiencing them.

When something seemingly devastating occurs the question to ask yourself is “Who do I want to be in relationship to this event.” Am I going to curl up in a ball forever or am I going to get up, dust off and choose to live life fully. The choice is always yours and it will determine not only the quality of your experience of life but what you create within it. The power over “time” is always with you.
