We think emotional pain comes from the outside and hurts us inside.
We feel affected by the happening, like victims of circumstance.
But emotions are the means by which our bodies feel our thoughts.
And our thoughts are how our minds explain what we perceive.
What we perceive is the result of what we let our attention explore.
Our attention is like our breathing: automatic until intentional.
If we attend to that which wants to explore the painful experience,
we discover the imposter in us who feeds on chaos and despair.
If we then attend to that which exposes the imposter for what it is,
we discover our true self who knows the deep secret of our pain.
