Alive In Joy
Dispelling Drama
There are scores of people in the world who seem to be magnets for calamity. They live their lives jumping from one difficult situation to the next, surrounded by unstable individuals. Some believe themselves victims of fate and decry a universe they regard as malevolent. Others view their chaotic circumstances as just punishments for some failing within. Yet, in truth, neither group has been fated or consigned to suffer. They are likely unconsciously drawing drama into their lives, attracting catastrophe through their choices, attitudes, and patterns of thought. Drama, however disastrous, can be exciting and stimulating. But the thrill of pandemonium eventually begins to frustrate the soul and drain the energy of all who embrace it. To halt this process, we must understand the root of our drama addiction, be aware of our reactions, and be willing to accept that a serene, joyful life need not be a boring one.
Many people, so used to living in the dramatic world they create, feel uncomfortable when confronted with the prospect of a lifetime of peace and contentment. The drama in their lives serves multiple purposes. Upset causes excitement, prompting the body to manufacture adrenaline, which produces a pleasurable surge of energy. For those seeking affection in the form of sympathy, drama forms the basis of their identity as a victim. And when drama is familial, many people believe they can avoid abandonment by continuing to play a key role in the established family dynamic. The addiction to drama is fed by the intensity of the feelings evoked during bouts of conflict, periods of uncertainty, and upheaval.
Understanding where the subconscious need for drama stems from is the key to addressing it effectively. Journaling can help you transfer this need from your mind onto a benign piece of paper. After repeated writing sessions, your feelings regarding the mayhem, hurt feelings, and confusion often associated with drama become clear. When you confront your emotional response to drama and the purpose it serves in your life, you can reject it. Each time you consciously choose not to take part in dramatic situations or associate with dramatic people, you create space in your inner being that is filled with a calm and tranquil stillness and becomes an asset in your quest to lead a more centered life. |

Hi Digit,
This is a very good post. Very clear and to the point. And for those who doubt the validity of a tranquil life not being boring I am here to attest that it is far more exciting then a life of drama. It is far more exciting because a whole world of possiblities opens up to you. Being in the flow of life feels like flying. It's magical, uplifting and down right addictive itself. It is far more empowering than the energy crash after a so called exciting drama event. It is a high that you can't help but want to pass on. And once people start to experience it and realize the awesome potential behind it is when we will really see a major shift in consciousness. Maybe that day isn't too far off. I know I'm doing my best to spread it around. I hope it's rubbing off.

Hi Digit,
I like this post.
I especially am attracted to the bit that says:
"And when drama is familial, many people believe they can avoid abandonment by continuing to play a key role in the established family dynamic."
This for me was so true with my dad. I felt he'd not want me in his life if I did not play a key role as a rescuer.
I go through fazes. There are times when I really need social interaction and there are times when I really need to be alone and reflect.
As for drama now I have replaced it with goals and feeling I am really achieving things at work.
I realise that I used to keep things so I'd not be bored. Such as keep clutter so I'd have something to tidy up but then it would just pile up. I think this has something to do with the fact my mum paid attention to me by tidying my room. We never had an emotional relationship. In a weird sort of way I think this is why I am have had such a hard time getting organised. You see the clutter was drama. I am working hard to become more organised and have gotten rid of alot of stuff I don't need.
I am learning to see myself as competent, confident and valuable. I am smiling alot more these days. I sure don't ever miss those churning stomachs I used to have in years gone by.
Anyway I am off to bed, its great sharing.
Blessings

good point in there. we dont need to blame God or the universe for the problems, calamities and trouble we are into. we created it unconsciuosly, we must take the responsibility. indeed, good point. thank you  _________________ If God is our target destination, we cant miss. God is so big. He's everything, we have nowhere else to go. |

Hi Digit, Hi Michelle, Hi Alx and everyone else reading this thread,
I have had a great insight into myself recently. I realised my unconscious behaviours are the ones that get me into trouble. My daughter text me the other evening. Just as I was about to reply the charge on my phone ran out. My daughter had texted that she was at her father's house. I continued shopping. When I arrived home an hour later she said "Where were you I was so worried." Then my partner said "Where were you, Mel rang me because she was worried". (My partner is not Mel's father) I said "What, I thought Mel was at the father's, my phone ran out of charge." Then Mel went on to say "Why didn't you charge your phone? Don't you know It could have been an emergency, you could have been dead, you work in a rough part of town and I thought something had happened to you. At least you Mum knew where I was but I did not know where you were! " My reply "I did charge the phone last night" ( I knew I hadn't charged it) but, I reacted. "Who are you speaking to like that" Then we ended up having a row. I told her "don't you dare speak to me like that, I am fed up of you yelling at me. You are a child, don't you dare" She yelled back - infact I do not know what else she said by this time I was on a roll of aggression.
This reminded me of how I felt treated by my Reiki Master and the 82 year old in the group.
Why?Well I spoke to my daughter not based on her soul being a precious soul but based on how I thought (from past conditioning) a child should be behave and be intimidated. This is identical to how authority figures and older people have treated me and here's me treating my daughter the same.
I did realise the following day. I did apologise for my lack of awareness. I see at least I am aware of my behaviour. I have now began charging my phone every night. I have also written my daughter's mobile number on a slip and placed it in my purse.
I realise now that the more aware I become the more aware the people I mix with and attract will become.
Digit this post is a great reminder. And it has come again at just the right time. (Synchronicity is wonderful).
I am beginning to understand we are shaper of our energy, we can either do this consciously or unconsciously. I am gradually becoming conscious, even if it is after the event.
I now see how we are creators of our own lives. We choose who to be with and the environment we reside in every moment of our lives. God is the energy, we regulate the motion of the energy and shape it ends up.
AMAZING!!!!!
Namaste -
Blessings

Hello to all!
Yup, another good thread.
It speaks volumes to me, and it is great to be aware of it to reach that higher vibrational level of consiousness.
The source of most fear, anger, hostility, etc... is basically not living in the present moment, rather, it is making present choices on past and future events, regardless of the moment.
As Steven Colbert recently said at the White House Annual Correspondance Dinner, "I love this man (George Bush Jr.). He believes the same thing on Wednesday as he did on Monday, NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS TUESDAY!" LOL
An example of this energy, past events making present fears, is 911. 5 years of war, several countries destroyed, many thousands of peacuful people killed, or worse, rounded up and place in concentration camps.
Sorry to all you Americans, the present in the USA is very close to the old dictatorship model, except it is a new form of totalitarian control, where the "Elite" of the world (they consider themselves elite, not me), are trying to keep us all under the rug, in this dimension.
A bit off topic, but if hollywood is innocent of manipulating the people through movies, why do we have so many movies with violence, fear, anger, basically darkness, and so few that are designed to make us laugh? I just watched Tokyo Drift Fast and the Furious and found clues inside, including one mention, a big part of one of the main characters, about living in the now, make a decision and don't look back...
Peace
Tom
