What does Pleasure have got to do with Death?

Subconscious death wishes are pretty common. Have you had an emotionally charged experience that was so intense that you mentally groaned and thought ‘Urgh, I wish I were dead!’ Boom! Unless you were comforted and nurtured in that painful experience, that wish gets locked in together with that unprocessed emotional charge.

It doesn’t even have to be something dramatic. It could be that you said something ‘stupid’ in front of your whole class and everyone laughed at you, making you feel humiliated. What matters is the high intensity of the emotional charge, which gets locked into the psyche.

Now, if you have an unconscious death wish, it’s like a computer virus. Your conscious self is trying to make your life better, to enjoy it more, while this virus is constantly interfering with the process. ‘Why bother? Don’t you want to die anyway?’

Again, none of this is intentional.

Yet until you clean up your operational system from any ‘viruses’, opening to more joy and pleasure in your life can feel like hard work. Death wishes are not ‘deadly’ as such. It just they can make life more difficult that it needs to be.

P.S. If you want to lighten up in life and let go of unconscious death wishes, join my 3-hour healing experience ‘Principles of Pleasure’ on Friday 21 July at 6-9pm UK time/ 1-4pm EST. www.gularavincent.co.uk/principles-of-pleasure
