With nearly 800,000 people dying by suicide in the world each year, more and more of us are being affected by it.
When a famous person takes their life, we hear over and over on social media to; “be kind to everyone, because we don’t know what they are really struggling with!” Which is nice and true, but it’s not going to stop suicide!
Suicide is caused by the egotistical mind or what I call “The Bad Guy in our mind,” that most people aren’t even aware of. They think all their thoughts and feelings are their own, so they keep them private out of fear of hurting others, fear of rejection and/or being misunderstood, along with guilt and shame.
It imperative that we help humanity know that we all have an egotistical mind that’s been created by our traumatic experiences, and it is used by us, as a way to cope. This two part egotistical mind of Fear/Anger when not healed, can destroy our life.
So What Do We Do?
We need to start a campaign of; “No Private Thoughts!”
We need to get the truth out, as Jesus says in A Course In Miracles, that “we are not alone in experiencing the effects of our thoughts.”
We need to teach our children about their ego; “The Bad Guy in their mind” and to share with us, as to what it’s making them think and feel. So they can heal the egotistical mind, by receiving the truth that will bring them freedom and peace.
We need to know how to be that safe place for people to share their tormenting thoughts, without judgement while at the same time being fully; unconditional love, help, encouragement and support.
We need to start being able to identify for ourself, which thoughts our our own and which are the ego’s. Hint: All negative, fearful, angry thoughts, are not our True Self’s thoughts.
We need to practice the pause when we are thrown out of peace; take 4 deep breaths and process what we are thinking and feeling.
The Prison of The Mind
Before I knew about the ego and the prison it brings. My ego would cause me to judge and blame those who committed suicided as selfish, because of how it personally affected my life, when my dad took his life when I was only 2 years old.
But now I know the ego can have such a stronghold on us that, we can’t see past it’s dark perceptions, leaving us to feel weak and helpless. Which can eventually cause us to believe the ego, that taking our life is the only way out of the prison of our mind and ultimately agreeing with it, that “by us not being here will be better for others.”
For those of us left behind, this trauma opens the door to our ego giving us a false narrative, that “our loved one obviously didn’t love us, or they wouldn’t have taken their life.” Which couldn’t be farther from the truth. Many of them have such a skewed sense of reality, that they truly believe the world would be better without them and they are doing the most sacrificial and loving thing for humanity.
