Please listen to yourself.

“A marriage that sucks”.

I’d agree with you, I think it is your ego.

I read a book very recently called “Self-Mapping” by Barry Mayne and it is wonderful (oh, I do listen to Deepak’s lovely voice everyday on SSLofS !!).

But Barry talks about the Ego, the High Self and the Low self (note “S” and “s”).

You also mention that you’ve been there to ‘please everybody’.

So, let’s sum up…..

You were happy a long time ago (perhaps when you were single and was more of your authentic self ??), you’re always pleasing everybody (except yourself) and you’re in a marriage that sucks (ouch, painfully pleasing everyone whilst making yourself miserable).

Sounds like Ego, low-self to me.

You need to love your self/Self and to do that you need to be true to yourself.

I think then you’ll get happier as you return to your true path/course (which being in a marriage that sucks will no doubt have taken you off that very gently/subtly).

P.S. I was in a marriage that wasn’t perfect (and neither was I). The best thing we both did was to divorce and we’re both happier as a result (and no bitterness either).

Good luck !

Yes do all those things, but add to that a good study of Christian Science with keys to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy….It will help you understand the difference between what is Real and what is not real. This is a book that will help you step into the Spiritual Realm Scientifically with a capitol S. This is the Science about God and man..

Many people feel the things you are feeling and they don’t know why. It is hypnotic influence/the tempter and false conditioning that seems to be holding you down, but none of it is true about the Real you…This is your chance to grow and be the victor of these false emotions, but first you must discover and learn and study about who you really are, then learn about the false pretenses that come along in your thoughts and try to separate you from the Truth of who you really are. Here is the Truth my friend, You are God’s thought and Perfect idea and Reflection of all that God/ infinite Good is…..and this does not include being board or depressed…..being board is a false claim about yourself…..Ask God to direct you and guide you to a practice and study that will help regenerate you back into the understanding of your Divine Nature- You are God’s very expression, this you must find out-

I meditate whenever I get the chance, each day. But I haven’t felt any significant changes. I haven’t had any experiences to convince me I’m not wasting my time. And yet, I keep doing it, keep reading the texts about spirituality, keep listening to Deepak’s tapes.

It’s all you can do.
