When we are at our lowest, our ego ironically thrives, but in a negative way. It is delighted to have gained more control over our being and continues to throw fuel upon the existing flames. One thought about a weakness innocently encountered, and the ego is prepared to cast numerous situations from the past reflecting our errors. Negativity piles upon us.
The accumulating darkness attracts additional heaviness which can propel us into depression. We forget to lift our head upwards to the light above the clouds. We sink deeper into the darkness losing faith and no longer hearing the goodness which attracts us.
This may seem dismal, but the point is being aware. We once may have had to be constantly aware of our children, responsibilities, diet, etc... Now we must be consistently aware of our emotions to maintain a balance. If we check in daily, we are less likely to slip into darkness. If we are conscious of the steps we take, we will be better prepared to face all emotions as they towards us. We are strong enough to embrace and let go, relinquishing the experience of hatred.
